Mr. Hlcuman waa np i pointed to this and in dirctisstng the question pointed out that, in Ids opin ion, there wes no necessity for such a reduction. He said that, he bad figured nut that a reduction of 10 per cent In : the wakes of the operal'vep in hn mi l would affect a reduction of a sixteenth |of a tf.pt per yard. Members cf the Association were already selling their goods at an eighth under his price and if they wished to iticease, their profits let them Increase tin ir prices t. i elrl’lh, thus not onlv avoiding the redue/ion of wares, but making an added profit of a sixteenth.
