Civilian Cotton Textile
Trade Near StandsfiII
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. 25.-Civilian
trade was practically stalemated in
the cotton textile market this week
as efforts Of the trade centered on
filling the 81 100000 yard order for
various constructions for quick lease
lend delivery.
Slow progress in that direction was
taken by the trade to reflect the
heavy pressure Of military contracts.
The Navy entered the market for
substantial quantities of wide sheet
ings, estimated at 25, 900 900 yards or
more. Scattered high-priority lots
of print cloths and sheetings were
consummated, but mills generally
operated on hand-to-mouth basis
in the face of rising cotton prices
and uncertainties.
The wool goods markets were
quiet, influenced by an increase in
Government orders and inquiry for
goods, and mills made only limited
commitments to the trade for spring
and fall lines.
One leading manufacturer notified
the mems wear trade that new wal
orders would delay deliveries on fall
lines as much as go days.

CHICAGO, Mar. 25.-Large ship

would no longer come under the

announced for 1884.
The program was extended to 300
pound weights when congested mar

hogs on farms longer than they had
planned. Livestock observers had
believed the heavy runs were past,
but after the VIA announcement
late last week shipments of hogs to

resulted.
