DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, April g. up -Ex-
tremely tight conditions again pre-
vailed in the cotton textile market
today. Only a few civilian orders
were placed because Of the pres
sure of heavy military demands
for goods. Mills also watched
pending demands for higher tex
tile wages which threatened to
narrow operating margins furth-
er.
The wool goods market was quet
as mills centered attention on war
orders. Only small additional al
lotments were released to the
trade on fall lines with deliveries
against old contracts delayed.
The rayon goods market was
quiet.

High winds in the areas mentioned
