Cotton Goods and Cotton.

The Dry Goods Economist New York; Of Sat-
urday, May "a, comments as follows on the state
OF the trade generally: In cotton goods the mar
ket has not been so active for future wants as it
was two or three weeks ago. The business in
staple and colored cottons has not shown the re-
sults expected from the large number OF buyers
that nave been present; me st1chs OF many s
some time are controlled by orders New husl-
ness, however. has not been large. With many
higher, tine Inactivity OF purchases does
not seem consistent with middllng
cotton 125Sc per III. For the most standard fab
les it is difficult to OBJ tain the smallest advance,
even where the goods have been made from 1915
cotton and are known to be selling at one cent a
yard loss on the cost OF manufacturing To
make matters worse, the demands for dating
ahead are louder than ever, and no matter how
small the quantity Of goods wanted, with the
price named by the sellers, the buyers response
is-''Dated from when?'' This evil is the great
est drawback to the healthfulness of trade, and,
unless corrected, Will surely terminate in the
greatest trade revulsion the country has ever
known.
In printing cloths the Oh ief markets for these
have reflected a moderate demand and light
sales, and prices are steady at . 1,l6c Tor o.
squares and l-l6c for 50x60 cloths. The weekly
production at Fall River is 2l3, 900 pieces and at
Providence IS, 600 pieces, and, with moderate
sales, the stocks show larger weekly growth.
Fancy cloths for finishing purposes have been in
light demand, as have all the products Of print
ing cloth looms. With slow market, weekly
supply the ABOVE CSnLtTS Ol GJlIOyO pieces
and considerable quantity made outside, also
stock of AZ, 600 pieces likely to be increased to
more than 800, 900 pieces by the end ofthis week,
the outlook is less favorable for manufacturers
than in many years. What makes il more IN
satisfactory is the mercurial demand for printed
calicos, which promises to be interrupted for
the coming season by printed fanneiettes and
similar stuffs.
The receipts OF cotton at all shipping ports for
the week ending to-day have been 16, 129 bales,
compared with II, 47s bales last week, and 1924
bales the same week last year.
Total receipts at all the shipping ports since
September ! have been 5,7O6, 1871 bales, against
5,i55, 2l1 bales the same time last year, and o.
345, ISL bales in 1888.
The stocks at all shipping ports amount to
1856. 900 bales, against 295 200 bales for the same
date last year.
The total exports to Europe from September
to May II amounted to (, 695, 6S1 bales, compared
with 4, 461 OS7 bales for the same time in 1859.
The total cotton that had come in sight from
September l to May II, amounted to ,OIO sos
bales compared with 6, 764, 639 bales the same
time last year.
