You j. should do something to stabilize your ^ prices." Dry goods to-day, since the breuk ^ in the price of cotton, are still advancing, it being impossible to have orders filled without delay. It has just been stated that it will be necessary to allot men's underwear on ac- a count of the great shortage of the manufactured product. There will be a record breiikino- denuind for cotton.
