Max Goldberg, attorney, Of Salem,

they said, would be sufficient an
Swer.

Goldberg charges that the "in-

EASE IN PRICE

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 Q.N.S).
Each of the important conStruc-
tions eased 1sc in the coarse yarn
cloths market today. apparently
on no particular news except the
continued quiet which has pre-
vailed for so long a time.
Most traders were at loss for
any explanation whatever, justi-
fled or unjustified, for the drop in
print cloths prices. It was re-
ported that early in the day the
goods we're offered to buyers with
out bids, and, it was added, with.
out results.
Later in the day, some business
came in, but the total yardage for
the session was not important,
and it was said the total value of
all print cloths sold did not offset
the additional inventory loss to
buyers now under contract occa-
stoned by the drop in prizes.
