the long Series of upward tnovemontFt in
the prices of cotton and dress goods
would have led to some curtailment in
the demand. But tit 18 002,110t bo sail 10

been fully up to normal in extent, and,
especially of late, all articles required
for summer use have been in even more

the goods chiefly affected by the rise in
cotton are precisely those which pantile
cannot do without except at great in-
convenience and, while conditions gene-
rally are so prosperous as they are at
present throughout the Dominion, they
do not see the Porro of nutting themselves
to that inconvcuience. Business there-

From the (lodertoh Signal.
The revival of the long-delayed pro-
ject of the extension of the C.P.R. from
Guelph to Goderich, as reported in the
Signal two weeks ago, seems to afford
substantial ground for the hope that
this scheme is now about to be realized.
A fow weeks ego several of the directors
of the Guelph Junction railway had an
interview at Montreal with President
Shaughnessy and received from the
latter a statement which is regarded as
a practical assurance that the line to
Goderich will be built. Ono of the
freight officiate of the C.P.R. has been
through the district examining into the
prospects for business, and the company
has also had a surveyor looking over
the ground in this neighborhood.
On Tuesday, on the invitation of the
Guelph people, Mayor Lewis and Mr.
A. Saunders, president of the Goderich
board of trade, wont to Guelph and con-
ferred with Mr, Win, Bell, president of
the Guelph Junction railway; Mr. J.
H, Hamilton, mayor of Guelpph; Col.
Macdonald, secretary of theG,J,R„ and
other members of the board of directors
of the railway. Mr. Wm. Doherty, the
organ manufacturer of Clinton, also was
present, The subject of the extension
was discussed in its various aspects,
with a view to doing what can he done
for the furtherance of the project, in
which the Guelph people are taking a
lively interest. Aline byway ofMonk
ton and Clinton to Goderich is suggest-
ed by the C.P.R, engineer, but Mayor
Lewis held out strongly for an alterna-
tive route touching Bruseele and Blyth.
This, of court*, would not meet the
wiehee of the Clinton people, but would
have some obvious advantages over the
former route, The Guelph people aro
indifferent as t0 the route so long as it
connects their city with Goderich.
It is understood that the C.P.R. will
not ask for any bonus, but will look to
the municipalities for the right of way,
Mayor Lewis proposed that Goderich
and Guelph each look after the securing
of the right of way ter the half of the
line nearest to the town and city, respec
-
tively; that is, that Goderich attend to
Huron and Perth 00001iea, and Guelph
to the balance of the route. This pro•
poaiti, n was accepted. and es soon ea
the C.P.IL. decides upon a route active
work can be commenced. Correspond.
Once with the company is now proceed-
ing, and it is expocted that very shorty
there will be something definite to work
upon.

Farther Advance In Cottons.
The Monetary Titnes has the follow.
ing to say regarding the advance in the
price of cotton :-
Until a fow days ago it was thought
by some people in the dry goods trade
that much of the high cost of raw cotton
was due to epeculative manipulation,
and that it w Id be shown before long
that the crop)iid not promise so badly
as some parties were endeavoring to
indicate. The United States govern.
most crop report of last week, however,
showed that such hopes were doomed to
disappointment. The cotton crop, Re-
cording to the latest advices, continues
very backward, the abnormally low
temperatures having caused slow and
poor growth. Insects, too, have done
considerable damage, Theresult of this
condition of things contineee to make
itself felt in enhancing prices, to which
there seems to be no end. The latest
changes in prices of textiles we hear of
are in ticking, which has advanced }-
cent to h-oept per yard, or five to 10 per
cent; cottonades, which have gone up
five to 10 por cent; flannelettes, Saxon -
lee, shirtings, etc., 15 per cent ; denims
10 per cent, and some lines of shakers
about live her cent, All lines of yarn
also [rave gone up about five per cent.
It is not unlikely that, unless eo:ne
rauical change in the position of raw
material takes place, further advances
in these cotton fabrics will be mase, for
it is pointed out that the cost of the
finished article is in many cases still
considerably below the parity of raw
cotton. Some lines of white, bleached
and grey cottons have already gone up,
and others are likely to follow suit,
while an increase ip the price of linings
is looked for shortly, that the increase
in the value of the above linos of cottons
is not unree.ottable may be jgdged from
the fact that the prices which prevailed
