DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-R-The
rayon market encountered an i'm
proved demand today for new nov
city spring weaves at firm prices.
Weavers in the silk fabrics division
remained on the sidelines as the
trade awaits some measure of sta
bility in the raw material. The
comparative steadiness of rayon
yarns serves to strengthen the
opinion that yarns other than silk
may dominate business sheers.
There was a further softening
of prices in the Worth street gray
goods market and despite willing
ness on the part Of mills to sell at
lower levels buying interest con-
tinued dull.
Declines in the wool top prices
has influenced a cautious attitude
on the part of buyers Of wooden

But when the popcorn dried out, then there is
nothing to make it pop. In that do this:
Put pounds of into a 2-quart fruit Jar.
Add to tablespoons of water, depending on how
dry the is. If only third of the kernels pop
you will need tablespoons. IF tvo-thirds pop,
1y tablespoons necessary.
Then put on the jar-rubber and cover, clamp the
down lightly, and shake the jar we'll. Let the
jar stand days SO, and the popcorn will be
good
If you. have Large Quantities of popcorn hand,
storing it in cool, damp place will also restore
moisture content.
Corn will pop better if you heat the pepper first,
and add fat to the corn be fore putting it
over the heat.
