A Representative in Congress of the
textile districts Of Massachusetts ad-
mttted today that the mills OF tl7a;
State were having difficulty IN meeting
foreign competition, despite the tariff
wall. Growers say the reason lies no;
50 much in cheap labor as in the fact
that foreign, and especially English
manufacturers have ~outsuiarted" the
American mill men in advantageous
purchases Of raw material The volume
OF raw cotton shipped abroad after
periods OF low price ranges would tend
70 subStantiate that assertion.
AT any rate. some much more favor

NEW YORK, April l8.-Little chance
Of lower prices for sheets, shirts cotton
dress goods or other cotton textiles Is
indicated by developments in the cotton
industry today. This fact. however, has
brought little comfort to some Of the
cotton goods manufacturers who are
facing labor troubles and now face the
possibility Of higher prices for the raw
staple.
The weather. that dominant factor in
the growing of cotton. has been un-
propitious. The cotton crop has re-
ceived a severe setback owing To two
cold waves within a week. Figures on
the total loss are still unobtainable, but
