most Of them being content to check
prices and come in for occasional lots
of goods at unchanged prices Pros
poets for the market in 1885 were
considered good. There was no doubt
but that print cloth yarn goods sales
for December were far in excess of
production for the month, an accom-
plishment 50 unusual for December
that many in the market have failed

liquidated their spot stocks on a rising
