He (had been a resident of Asheville all

the Cause,
New York, Jan- 2L The upward
movement in the cotton trade is becom
ing as marked asj, the boom in the iroa
trade. " :
The prices of all classes and grades)
of cotton goods have gone up and
funther increases in the demand and i
priced are expected. V-
The exoprt trade shows remarkable
increase. Haw cotton has advanced
some and it is expected to go higher, so
(that the growers will share to
the
prosperity. . .

the
price, of print cjothep to 2 centd a.

was Toaiing the. industry t Fall River,
while the reduction of wage. ll 1-2 per
cent has helped, the situation,
Another reason that has aided , in
boosting the prices was the; over-estimated
cotton yield. Tbe mill men were
figuring on a crop of over 12,000,000
bales but the cotton men now place the
total in the south at 11,200,000.
Not only are; the manufacturers in the
east and eouth working night and day
to nil orders but the trade is prosperous
all over the world.. The English mills
have a demand for all they can turn
out and the trade in India and China
is increasftng.
A large share of the export 'trade, es
pecially with the West Indies and
South America, 'belongs to the United
States and there is no sign of tis falling
off. The business to sight this year
promises to be record breaking.
