the ordinary person, but IL Is fairly

He knows, for example. that there

wool clips to be marketed in place
of the ordinary one, and he suspects
that there may even be three.

Nor are his feelings on this score

creased cotton acreage. Agreements
to decrease production have many
points of resemblance to the gentle-
mems agreements among ranroao
managers 50 or 40 years ago. whish
were chiefly noted for their trash-
ity. On the other hand, restricted
acreage does not always mean q
shortened yield.
Future Prices Uncertain.

tinues baffling. Take the case OF

uai Improvement In business was In
dicated during the past week. Cur
taiiment of production in cotton
goods mills is said to be still Of a
substantial character. especially in
the cotton duck. cotton yarn. and in
some Of the hne combed yarns mills
Of New England. Mills engaged in
other lines Of cotton Manufacture
are now fairly wen employed. Fin
ishing plants are declared better on
than they were q month ago. Manu-
factnrers are Inclined to believe that
the worst OF the liquidation within
the trade Is over but they are APP
prehensive of delay in getting back
to a full basis OF production until
more has been accomplished in the
matter of liquidating costs in gem
eral business lines,
The movement toward more set
tied markets is well defined\in some
channels, where more than d year of
denation has brought relatively low
prices. stability is yet to be attained
in various quarters and important
commitments are being deferred
wherever possible.
Coed Demand at FAN River.
Fair business has marked the Fall
River cloth market for the past
week. with the estimated sales
placed at 10000 pieces. The de-
mand has been generally good for
all styles of goods. especially
for the 36-inch styles and twills
and sateens, deliveries extend
ing through the next two
or three months. Some of the
36-inch styles have. nearly been
cleaned up. A good demand has
marked the 3sh inch. sox4ss. and
in some of the 36-inch styles q slight
advance has been noted. wide
sateens and four-ieaf twills have
been in fair demand.
The bulk of the business was done
the latter part of the week, when
more than $4,000 pieces. were sold
the last two days. The great ma
tority of mills are very slow to sell

considerable difficulty Is experi-
enced along this line.
The fine goods division Is rather
quiet. some Of the fine yarn combed
goods and standard styles of the
southern mills being available from
secondhand dealers at a lower fg-
ure than those OF the local market.
A fair demand still continues for
fancies and speciaIties, bordered

a large quantity of those goods sold
within the past few months.
Curtailment continues on about
the same basis, although there are

The local Keren Hayesod Bureau aims to unite all the factions of Jewry in Bridgeport for the upbuild- ing of Palestine. The cause, as such, Jews of Bridgeport and will thus serve to unite them in a strong or ganization, not only for this particu- lar fund, but for any other worthy purpose which may arise. Every Jew in Bridgeport will be approached by the local committed and asked for his contribution to the Keren Hayesod in accordance with the resolution adopted at the last Zionist conference held in London. A start was made in this campaign at the mass meeting held in the Lyric theatre last Sunday when $15,0O0 in for much more. It is hoped that at least a hundred thousand dollars can be raised in Bridgeport.
 The Keren Hayesod is the incor- Organization for rebuilding Pales- tine. The Keren Hayesod proposes to raise s10O,OOO,000 to lay the foun- dations of the Jewish National Home.

An Opportunity!

Summer is with us again and the thoughts of every boy and girl turn to vacation. Knowing that during the summer months the desire to own a bicycle is keenest in a boys mind, and in an effort to provide a way for every boy and girl of Bridgeport to satisfy this de- sire, The EveninSTimes pre- sents the opportunity to se- cure the best bicycle made without cost.
 For a great many who work during vacation, a wheel is an asset, and above everything else it is no doubt the one greatest source of pleasure to every boy and girl.
 In all parts of the country one sees evidences that the bicycle is steadily winning back its Old-time popularity. In fact the ''bike," 7" the old reliable "bike," is more pop ular than ever before.
 In. these days of hustle, when time is a big factor in their daily life, millions of Americans have found the bicycle an efficient means of transportation.

Decision Is
 For Plaintiff

Several Common Pleas court deci- sions were handed down yesterday by Judge Booth. In the case of John T. klaSe against Aaron Bakunin, judgment is found for the plaintiff of $530 and costs. The matter was one of real estate commission.
 In the case of Harry Tarlov against Samuel G. Adams the decision is for the plaintiff to recover the costs, ir.r asmuch as both parties to the auto mobile accident were guilty of neglt> gence.
 A judgment for the costs was awarded in favor of the defendant in a case arising from a collision of two automobiles at the corner of Fair field avenue and Brewster street The pIa intiff was George F. Ashe and the defendant the Standard Oil Con- pany.
 It is estimated that the annual loss by fire in the United States Is $240,- 900, 900, while 15.000 lives are lost.
