The Carpet Trade Everything looks favorable now for a lively spring trade and at good prices. In extra supers several Philadelphia lines, notably those of Ivins, Delta & Magee, have been advanced 5 cents. In Brussels the Lowells, Bigelows, and Victorias show no advance as yet. in some of the Intermediate grades, however, there has been an advance of 5 cents. Humor has It 'that Alexander Smith, Sons & Co. will advance the price on tapestry 2J cents right through the line. Moquetles are a puzzling feature. Some In the trade say. that it looks now as If they would advance. In ingrains the advance of 2J cents will be general. Some of the finer fabrics, as the Tremonts, for example, will advance five cents. The goneral feellug In the trade as to the prospects of spring business Is very good. —American Wool and Cotton Reporter, Dec. 1, 1892.
