Our London buyer advises us that prices are still going up and from what can be gathered ifrota the different makers they seem to be quite sure they will go higher. The shortage of Cotton, ~ both American and Egyptian, is still very great, and the amount of business coming into Lancashire, all makers say, is very enormous, andi even the Americans themselves are there trying to buy goods. We are bound to have a great scarcity so the goods we hold in stock now, to repeat, would cost enormous advances. We- advise all our customers to shop early. See our splendid stock, over £50,000 to select from, including 1000 Flannelettes in white and stripes. White Nursery Flannelette (free from dressing), 1/3, or 14/9 dozen yards.
