LO,per Cotton Goods
Prices Needed. Vieu

Some wholesale dry goods mer-
chants hold the belief that the re-
sumption of work in the cotton
goods mills, if the strike is termi-
mated soon, will result in lower
prices. according TO the market
service letter Of the National
Wholesale Dry Goods Association.
The letter says in part:
The weather conditions adverse
to spring business have continued
to retard sales by retailers and
wholesalers
The continuance of this condi-
ton has impressed upon the whole
saler the thought of the inventory
loss which he might have suffered
had the New England strike not oc-
CURED and had the market been
hurdened with this tremendous
yardage of goods.
"As full employment has been as
surcd upon the resumption Of work,
the belief is held by some that new
prices will be made upon basis
which Will induce the large valumc
of business needed"
