The demand haa been distributed fairly equally on weaving aud knitting yarns The orders placed Include low as well aa high counts, aud the deliveries range from prac tically spot shipments to May and June of next year.

Houthern spinners are now re ported to be well sold aheml and to have their plants In a very Independent position.
