Record Breaking Cotton
Receipts During March

Record breaking receipts Of cotton
during March are reported by freight
agents in the five principal New Eng
land cotton manufacturing centers,
New Bedford, Fall River. Lawrence,
Lowell and Manchester No less shan
133,500 bales were received at these
points, in addition to the thousands of
bales of Egyptian cotton that came
into Boston and were held up by the
port congestion, and in addition to
the cotton that was received in Rhode
Island territory. These figures com
pare with 55,964 bales received by the
same five cities in March, 1919, and
with 57,s4a bales received in Feb
ruary, 1920.
The heavy arrivals were due in part
to the fact that considerable cotton
that was due to arrive in February was
delayed by embargoes and strikes. On
the other hand. however, the aggregate
receipts in these textile centcrs since
the beginning of the current cotton
season, August /, amounts to no less
than 100000 bales, against 1851 for
the corresponding period Of the pre-
ceding season. Last seasons total was
the largest on record up to that time,
so that tho total this year far sur
passes anything yet experienced in
New England.

COTTONS-Market Stronger;
Good Business Reported

The market for gray goods was firm
with good sized transactions yesterday.
Percales and shirtings continued to sell
IN moderate way. Bleached cottons
were quiet, especially in the finer ends
or the higher priced goods. Substitutes
OF lower counts for the lower prices
obtalnable were attracting much at
tentlon and business in this line was
active. Wide sheetings, sheets and pill
low cases continued scarce and buyers
found it almost impossible to get early
delivery. In few of the white goods
departments it was said that bust
ness on fine cloths is better, many
small repeat orders coming from re-
tallers. Quilts were selling we'll, and
fancy towelings we're moving out of
the jobbers' stocks steadily, although
complaints of high prices were heard.
Jobbers and retailers said they were
united in the resistance Of higher
prices. Selling agents, however, were
unmoved by these statements as they
have little to sell for nearby delivery,
and when jobbers and retailers come
forward in the next two weeks to re-
plenlsh their stocks for fall they will
find little change in the tone of first
hand sellers.
Worsted yarn manufacturers are now
seeking and finding more business
on coarse numbers. They are making
attractive prices and they say wool
goods manufacturers are more re-
sponsive.

LEATHER-Shoe Statesmen
Report Larger Fall Orders

Early reports sent in by shoe sales
men are said to be more encouraging
and manufacturers are again expectant
as to what the fall season will bring.
Up to the present there has been a GER
tain note of anxiety as to the possible
attitude of the retailer on fall orders.
Judging from the latest reports, how
ever, business will be good, although it
Will not come as easily as heretofore.
Statesmen are said to be covering larger
territories than ever before in their
effort to obtain a good sized business
and manufacturers are Of the opinion
ethat by hard work fall sales can be put
on par with those for the correspond
, ing 1919 season.
One of the big factors which is bring
spring weather. With the public slim
ulated to make more liberal purchases
due to warmer weather, the stocks Of
the retailer are being cleaned up, and
as a result more confidence is being
shown by the dealers
The call for spring stock for imme-
date delivery is beginning to assume
better proportions now that the re
tallers have had chance to sense the
trend of the seasons demand and with
the depletion of stocks it is expected
there will be a considerable increase
IN the call for present season goods for
quick shipment. Factories are oper-
ating as fully as the available labor
supply will permit. Speciality firms re-
port plenty Of orders on hand and the
plants making more staple goods have
all the work necessary to keep them
running steadily for an indefinite
period.

JEWELRY-Trade Prepares
For Summer and Fall Seasons

Having just emerged from the pres

town jewellers are already preparing
for the late summer and fall trade.
Necklaces, bracelets, rings and brooches
will be featured in the showrooms. The
newest thing to be exhibited in neck
laces is fine gold band, ornamented
with large carved plaque in enamel,
inlaid with precious stones. Fine
jeweled chains in cameo or in carved
jade also are prominent in, the fall
program. Bead necklaces in compost
ton or in wooden beads, which have
been extremely popular, are expected

the other styles, holding it's own by

FORMER PHOENIX GIRL AND DOUG. FAIRBANKS CO-STAR AT COLUMBIA

Ruth Griffin, whom everyone in Phoenix will remember as a social fa- vorite and an exceptionally versatile amateur entertainer. will make tri- umphant return to Phoenix this week as co-star with Douglas Fairbanks in "The MoIlycoddle." Under the stage name of Ruth Renick, Miss Griffin's local friends will have an opportunity to appreciate the remarkable talent that won her meteoric rise to a stellar place in filndom. An interesting CO., incident is the fact that Miss Griffin is returning to the Columbia Theater, where her talent was first recognized in 1915 by MT. Redmond, who gave her an initial tryout in his stock company which was playing here at that time.
 After meeting with a remarkable success in the Redmond stock company Miss Griffin went to the coast, where. in the course of a short time. she be- came leading lady of the Wilkes Stock company at Los Angeles. Her splen- did accomplishment as an actress and her delightful appearance soon at tracted a number of offers from the Los Angeles film companies, which re- suited in her present enviable position as a co-star with Douglas Fairbanks in his best picture to date, "The Molly coddle." which will be played at the Columbia theater the latter part of this week.
 Miss Griffin made a large host of admiring friends here in her many amateur performances in the Country club plays, where she stood out as an actress of exceptional talent and prom ise. Her charming personality and wonderful interpretive powers won her audiences wherever and whenever she appeared and her many friends will be delighted to see her, as Ruth Renick, in her enviable role opposite that much famed favorite. Douglas Fair banks. at the Columbia, the last three days this week.

DIRECT RAILROADS
 TO GIVE NORTHWEST
 WINTER COAL STOCK
Republican A. p. Leased wireI


 WASHINGTON, July 20-New emer- gency orders were issued today by the interstate commerce commission giv- ing priority in the movement of the winter stock of soft coal to the north west
 More than a score of railways serv- ing miles in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, were directed by the commission not only to give prefer ence in the movement of coal for the territory at the head of the Great Lakes, but also to give preference in the supply of cars for such shipments.
 Coal operators within the district served by the railways will be re- quired to fulfill the wants of the north west before filling orders for other sec tions, the commission directing the railways to place an embargo on such latter movement, if it should be at tempted by the coal men.
 The orders may stand until the close of navigation on the great lakes about November l. The northwest, compris- ing upper Michigan, Minnesota, Wis consin, North and South Dakota and Montana, is estimated by coal men to be about 23,000,0o0 tons short of its re- quirements and to move this quantity would require the daily dumping of more than 4,000 cars at Lake Erie ports.

FOUND GUILTY IF
 CONFIDENCE GAME

A jury in the superior court yester- day found Gus Argetaken guilty on charge of attempting to secure money by means of a confidence game. He, in company with Nick Tergziz, the al- legged partner of Argetaken who was found guilty on the same charge by a jury in April, will both be senteced at 9:30 o'clock this morning by Judge A. c. McAIIster
 It was alleged by Nick Georgouses, the proprietor of the Athens Hat com pany, that Argetaken in company with Tergziz tried to get him to place s2.oO0 in bills in a black box which he says
Arizona republican., 1920-07-21

they told him would make counterfeit money. According to the story told by Georgouses, he was to hide the box away in a secret place for 90 hours and then when he opened it he would have his money doubled. The state alleged that by means of secret slides, the operators could remove the money placed in the box by the victim.
