The. mill* and agents were opposed to al lowing the buyers to cancel and came out emphatically on this point. They were less emnhatlc on the matter 6f delivery, where It was rmstlble they let tho buyers have an extension oo the delivery of goods. It Is now stated by the first-hand factors that their leniency has been taken advan tage of and Imposed on and that some check must be put on the granting of ex tension*. Prominent sellers relate instances of firms that havo goods due them on Jan unry delivery, who are coolly nsklug to have the merchandise withheld until May or June.
