FALL RIVERS MILLS.
The Sales Small, But the old stock OF
Cotton Nearly Exhausted.

cotton Nearly Exhausted.
Fall River. Mass, Nov. 25.-The mill
situation in this city is by no means dis
couraging, although In two weeks the to-
tai sales have amounted to less than a
fourth of the production. Last week only
1000 pieces, or few thousand more than
days production, We're all the sales re-
ported on the brokers' weekly statement.
The price held at Sh cents nominal and
steady The market opened quiet, even
10 dullness. Manufacturers think the
milo weather OF the autumn has had con-
siderable TO do with the trade. In what
are known as staple cottons, the heavy
orders Of few months ago are still un-
flied and the local mills are fairly we'll

be shipped next week and 132,000 pieces
each week in December Under these con-
dltions there can be no great accumulation
OF stock here. and this fact is encourage
ing.
The uncertainty in the cotton market
is having the effect Of strengt hening the
demands Of manufacturers for higher
prices. The supply OF cheap @c5t.oa
bought year ago Is rapidly disappearing
and except In a few mills IL will be all
gone when the new year opens TO renew
their stocks most of the mills will havs
to buy on basis OF SiA cents, about }
cents higher than they paid a year ago.
That the profits of the past year were
large has already been told in the quarter
y statement Of dividends, and II is re-
f1ected in numerous additions to mill
property now beng made.
The days are fast passing when mills
here will make only standard printing
cloths To show this more clearly any
of the weekly statements of brokers may
be taken and the figures Of the stock on
hand and sales of the week will speak
for themselves. Last week, for example,
the stock Of goods held here was 10000
pieces, and of this amount only 10000
pieces were regulars, 5000 being Odds
