COTTON GOODS FIRM

NEW YORK. Nov. IL Q.N.S.).-The
continued strength in raw cotton to-
gether with a definitely better demand
for goods brought advances into the
print cloth list today. The higher quo

by most buyers, however, with many
others refusing to fall into line.
Sales in the early trading today ran
into fairly substantial volume, although
reports indicate that a far greater
volume was turned down because buyers
were not willing to pay advances.
There was some hesitance about cover
ing cloth requirements until the mat
ter of night operations has been set

The conference in spartanburg next

carrying the greatest significance and
bearing upon the prospects both for

tPlCTUKE ON RtAGE 81
ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 18 QN.S)
Gov. Franklin. D. Roosevelt has
decided to remove Sheriff Thomas
M. Farley, powerful Tammany
district leader, on the charges
preferred by Samuel Seabury,
counsel to the Hofstadter Com
mittee, it was declared today by
officials close to the executive.
The Governor, according to the
same source of information, prob
ably will announce his formal
ruling early next week.
In ousting Farley, the Governor,
it was said, will base his decision
only on two of the twelve specific
charges made by Seabury-the
one dealing with the "tin box"
and alleged unexplained huge
bank deposits, and the other with
Farley'S admission that he re-
tanned interest on funds in his
custody.
Roosevelt is said to be so firmly
convinced Sheriff Farley must be
removed that he will take the
step regardless of whether it costs
him Tammany's support for the
presidential nomination at the
Democratic national convention.
