Cotton Goods Review
By Associated Press

New York, May 22.-Cotton goods markets have ruled quiet and prices have softened somewhat in unfinished goods of certain descriptions in sales between second hands. Print cloths, sheetings. sateens, voiles, and some other cloths are easier and mills are now more willing to listen to offers of new business at prices below those currently quoted at the open ing of the month
 The reissuance of wide sheeting price list on the basis current July 21 last year disclosed the anomalous situation of one large producer selling goods on a basis of 20 per cent under the levels quoted oy some others. Ginghams. rercales, and all fall goods are held firm in first hands and most of the jobbing fabrics show little change as yet.
 Business is greatly hampered by the tied up shipping conditions, and many delays in deliveries are now beginning to force cancellations. Jobbers are begin ming to arrive in the markets and are more interested in trying to hasten long delayed goods than to order any new lines at current prices.
 The irregular distribution of goods due to poor transportation has made it most difficult for merchants to form cor rect Idea of the probable effect of re- auctions but in many analysises of prices made by tailors, merchants have found that there had been wide anticipations of high replacement costs rather than charges based upon actual prices paid for the goods now offered at new prices.
 Current quotations in cotton goods mar kets follows Print cloths 28-inch 64x64s 161sc 64x6Os, 16c; 3S1a-inch 64x64s, 231ac; brown sheetings. southern standards, 2Sc; denims, 2.2os, 471sc and 44c; tickings, 55c. nominal prints. 23c; staple ginghams. 271zc; dress ging hams, 35c and 371zc.

chairmanships, of opportunity and power and could have deprived the entire party of patronage worth more than $l,OD,Ooo per annum. They were in an incompara- ble strategical position. Their advantage now consists in the fact that they can so unfavorably advertise the old guard as to en langer the chance of the party elect ing a President of the United States. They can call the attention of the people to the folly of again entrusting this gov- ernment to men of the Penrose type.
 But will they do it? They threaten, but will they not desist? It requires splendid moral courage, and much more force than a mere orgy of words can convey. The "old guard looks askapce at the progress slves. But it displays, up to the present time. at any rate, no real alarm. No hurry calls for the return of Penrose have emanated from the sanctum of the high council.
 And until the cry for the master mind resounds through the land, the idea will continue to obtain that the progressives are up to their old games of political bluff

MANLY BECOMES A MEMBER OF BOARD
 BAPTIST COLLEGE

At the recent annual meeting of the southern Baptist convention, held in Washington, D. C., a distinct honor was conferred on w. H. Manly, cashier of the Birmingham Trust & Savings Com- pany, in his election to membership of the board of trustees of the southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Louisville Ky, one of the oldest institutions of learning in that state.
 MT. Manly's election carries interest for the reason that his grandfather, the late Dr. Basil Manly, was one of the in- corporators of this school, nearly hun dred years ago. and was actively con- nected with it in an executive capacity for many years, while his son, the late Rev. Basil Manly. Jr., uncle of w H. Manly, was one of the professors for more than twenty-five years, and con- tributed largely to the institutions up- building and influence.
