The “Manchester Guardian” says that an order for 2,000,000 yards of fabric, which was admired by the Queen during her visit to the cotton section, was booked yesterday by a Manchester firm. It was worth £IOO,000 and was placed partly by Home and partly by Colonial buyers. The largest foreign order the cotton section received yesterday, was for 200 miles of white mull.
