Higher Prices On Cotton Materials Are Quoted as a result of the continual advance in the cotton market for the past fortnight. And it stands to reason that manu facturers, who now pay around 1,9c for raw cotton instead of I c a short time ago, will have to put their prices on a relative basis. We are fortunate at present to have a largg stock of cotton goods bought when such materials were at lowest ebb. But, of course, when this supply is gone, prices are bound to be more. The point is---buy while these supplies are available at these prices.
