New High Prices for Carpets Rugs and Rugs and carpetings have been ad vanced a little further in price, ac cording to announcements from some of the biggest manufacturers in the country. The new prices will be reaoy for consumers next autumn. The in creases range from 15 to 50 cent3 a yard for seamless chenilles,fair tta yard fofr wiltons; as high as 50 cents a yard for seamless chenilles, and from 5 to 12 1-2 cents a yard for brassy! s. These advances represent the inten tion of the manufacturers to add to their selling prices the tariff on wool and a profit calculated on the basis of the cost plus the tax. These profits including "percentages" on the tariff, are pyramided by every middleman and dealer.
