BRADFORD BUSINESS [by CABLE—PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.} (Recd. July 16, 11.25 a.m.) BRADFORD, July 15. There is little new civilian business. Prices for yarns are not fully tested. A buyer would get a concession in Botany sorts, but crossbreds are firm. There is great activity on Government orders, and the factories are working overtime for the production of khaki overcoatings. STERLING VALUES. NEW YORK, July 15. Sterling 385; the highest level touched to-day being 396.
