ceivers by the United States Federal

sey.

following statement after the an
nouncement of the receivership:
"It was apparent that only by
thus protecting its assets and prop
erty could the best interests Of the
security holders, creditors and stock
holders be conserved, and a salts.
factory readjustment affected.
ut was hoped up to the last min.
ute that further credit necessary
to carry on this seasons operations
could be secured, notwithstanding
adverse conditions in the industry
at the present time. This was found
to be impossible.
There will be no interruption in
normal conduct Of the company's
business, and the receivers. under
direction Of court, are prepared to
carry out all its sales contracts. The
company has requested Blair & Co.,
Hallgarten G. Co., Chase Securities

that the plan can be promptly pre-:

at SIS, at which figure the stock
was 26B points below the high for
1924, reached in the middle OF
January.
/ That the financial difficulty Of
the company is not of recent origin
is seen from the fact that as early
as June, 1928, President Wilson, OF
the company, was called upon to
deny rumors "reflecting upon the
financial integrity Of the company

NEW YORK, March 3.-Reports
from principal retail and jobbing
districts in the dry goods trade do
not confirm statements that oil and
tax discussions in Washington are
injurious to business. New York
city has more than its usual quota
OF out-of-town buyers from every
section Of the country: gray goods
are moving into channels Of con-
sumption; fall offerings of wool and
worsted goods have brought good
response from tie trade, and silk
dealers are well satisfied with in.
quirieS for spring lines.
Government figures substantiate
trade reports of heavy curtailment
of production in textile mills. The
wooden industry is down Is per
cent, compared with last year, and
fully 100000 cotton spindles are
idle or being run short time, this
estimate including spinning and
weaving capacity.
Prices on print cotton cloths and
sheetingS declined in the last waek
to the lowest level of 1924, without
attracting any unusual attention in
the buying markets. The severe
decline in prices Of raw cotton is
not without effect On textile mar
The feature Of the knit under.
wear market this week will be the
beginning Of recorder business on
spring lightweight lines. Buying
activity in the linen market is some
what limited, and no important
changes in prices have been an
nounced Of late. Lower costs of
cotton fabrics may cause a deflec-
ton Of business TO that channel
before the end of tho spring. Not
withstanding that many of the big
silk mills are, curtailing production,
jobbers report an increasing volume
Of business in fancy silk lines.
