facturers are not only asking much higher prices bat can only quote for late delivery. Here and there with special makes, however, it has been possible to get small parcels through for reison- able shipment. The orders booked for the Spring trade cannot be much more than a third of the customary quantity-of American males pro- bably not even so much. In the latter nothing further has been possible. There is no particular change in the postion of the River markets or Ningpo. Clearances are only moderate, but the dealers are paying up for fair quantities of goods against which they had settled Exchange forward on the sliding scale that has been in vogue for some time now!
