PRINT CLOTH GOING
UP; PRICE OF HOSIERY
SHOWS AN ADVANCE
NEW YORK,—An a'dvance of one
half cent a yard In print cloths dur
ing the week Is expected to bo fol
lowed by similar movements In
ginghams and percales, which are
now being held at value by the lead
ing manufacturers.
Some Jobbing interests say the In
crease In print cloths is not explain
able by the domestic demand, which
is not particularly heavy, and that
it means either that the mills are
sold up and trying to discourage the
placing of further orders or that the
goods are going into outside mar
kets.
The latter explanation Is probably
correct as It is well known that
foreign buyers have been plentiful in
the dry goods sectloons of late. They
come from South America and the
West Indies, as well as from other
countries where a good deal ft print
cloth Is used, and their takings have
been heavy.
No price movements worthy of
mention have been recorded in oth
er lines of cotton goods and there
is less activity generally. The Job
bers say, however, that retailers are
still taking up stocks on their vol
ume of trade for the season. Gray
goods are quieter, but prices In these
as in practically all lines, are Arm
and the opinion is that any move
ment will be towards higher levels.
Yarns, both cotton and woolen are
strong. Prance and Russia are seek
ing woolen yarns in the market for
delivery after June 1. It is not un
likely that these orderrs if placed,
will have the effect of further hard
ening price*. ,
Now hosiery prices announced, by
one large manufacturer for the fall
season show advances of over 40
per cent., in somo instances, over
those prevailing a year ago.

WHITE SEA IS CLOSED
TO PRIVATE CARGOES BY
[ ORDER OP CZAR’S COUNCIL
! NEW YORK_To have control of
the port of Archangel when the Ice
breaks and to prevent a repetition
of the congestion which occurred
last year that so seriously Interfered
with the handling of war supplies
needed by Russia, the White Sea is
closed to private cargoes by an or
der of the Russian Council of Minis
ters, except under a special license.
Licenses for private cargoes may be
obtained, for the poj't will be a
scene of great activity during the
summer months. But the govern
ment will keep the situation well, in
hand.
The sailing of the steamer Finn,
of the Russlan-American line, sched
uled to leave New York May 17, has
been .cancelled on account of this or.
der.
The port of Archangel is still ice
bound. There is still about twelve
feqt of ice in the White Sea. The
port is usually open for navigation
about the middle of May. In Archan
gel, Kola Bay and at the Northern
Norwegian points about one hundred
vessels have been ice-bound all win
ter not being able to unload their
cargoes and get away before the
early freeze-up of last fall. Several
American vessels are among the
Archangel In normal times hand
les a few thousand tons of traffic in
a season. Last year the port han
dled over 2,00u,000 tons. The Rus
sian government, by taking charge
of the situation and expediting the
handling of freight by the railroad
and the port authorities expect to
run over the 2,000,000 tons this
year.
