Long-Awaited Price
Cut i'm Cottons Made
New Schedule Reveals One of
Most Drastic Revisions
Ever known

A long-expected revision in the
prices of mapped cotton for the fall Of
1921 was announced after the close Of
business yesterday by the Amoskesg 2
Manufacturing Company.
The new schedule reveals ono OF tn
most drastic single cuts ever known
In goods of this character. declines
usually taking place gradually. It was
explained that the reduction was made
In view Of the radically changed out
look in raw cotton and the prospect of
reduced production costs.
The reductions wero from a basis
Of 37's cents yard for Daisy cloth
last year to 12h cents net, this year.
and on the widely known 1921 cloth
from 35 cents to 12h cents. These are
net mill prices.
On fabrics Of this sort prices are
usually named about the first Of each
year. The delay was due to the con-
gested condition of stocks in jobbing
and retail channels, which has been re-
lieved by recent clearance sales. The
mills have no stock goods to offer and
the new business Will be for manu-
featuring purposes only, deliveries be-
ginning in June and running to

Philippines Withdraws
Sale of Gold Exchange
Government Has Only 81, $780,
600 in United States, Ma
Mia Official Saws

MANILA, P. l., March 10. - The
Philippine government is unable to
meet further demand for the sale Of
gold exchange because the government
has only approximately one million and
a half Of gold dollars in the United
States. it was officially announced here
to-day.
Conditions in the Philippines have
been approaching a crisis for some
time. Among other things the admin
istration of the Philippine National
Bank, the state controlled bank, has
been such that the institution is now
said to be in a deplorable state The
bank is understood to have lost heavily
n the silver market through its
Shanghai agency, while il-judged
credits to hemp exporters, costly
financing of sugar centrals, loans to
concerns in the cocoanut oil industry
and the financing Of men who took
over former German properties are
among the other ventures that have
cost the bank severely.
Recently there was deposited with
the bank by the treasurer of the islands
nearly S38,000,000, which comprised
part of the gold standard reserve fund
of the Philippine government. This
operation has had the effect Of de-
creasing the power of the government
of the Philippines to sell exchange on
New York and maintain the peso at
parlty

Cotton Goods Buying Dull
Purchase for Conversion Into
Finished Fabrics Below Normal

Buying of cotton goods Is decidedly
spotty. Yesterday it was reported that
trading in the primary or gray goods
markets was on more active basis
than the day before, although prices
were unchanged. However, the buy
ing Of goods for conversion into
finished fabrics is far below normal.
In finished goods there has been some
let down in buying this week, but
some sellers report exceptionally good
business. 1t is here that the widest
divergence of experience among sell
ers ia reported. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the season on wash goods
FOR spring and summer wear has been
backward, yet one converter, putting
out wide line of novelty goods. as
serts that his sales for February in
yardage were larger than last year
and that March is showing the same
advance so far.
The seller who has the goods the re-
taller wants for quick delivery appears
to be getting the business. Those who
are in position to take only orders
for goods to be made up and shipped
later are getting relatively little bust
ness it is said

PRESIDENT c. Philip Coleman says:

obtainable by the corporation in earlier
years necessitates the continuation of
the work of development to &C
complish the improvement in existing
lines of product and the further addi-
tlon to related lines"

Col. Parsons Mentioned
For Transit Commission
Governor ,s, May Appoin, Him if
Traction Reorganization
Bill Becomes Law

, There is growing conviction among
hepublican organization men that Gov
ernor Mitier, as soon as his traction re-
organization bill becomes law. will
appoint Colonel William Barclay Par
sons as one of the new transit commits
sioners. The other name most fire.
quently discussed for one of the com
missionerships is that of Eugene A.
outerbridge, chairman OF the transit
committe of the Nav York Chamber of
commerce and an authority on ship
ping.
Colonel Parsons was the chief enri-
neer Of the Rapid Transit Commission
under Alexander E. Orr and had super-
vision of the building Of the hrst sub
way; Among engineers he is regarded
as the father Of the subway. Governor
Miller has not indicated to the Repub-
licans with whom he consults whom he
has in mind for the commission, but
the feeling that he has his eye on Colo
mel Parsons for one of the places has
become almost settled conviction.
