NEW YORK-The week closed with

grades, though the tone is well sustain
ed In both cotton and wooden goods,
The reaction coming after the first rush
OF early orders is responsible for the ret
repression in general interest. The
quality OF the recorders being already
registered shows that the general run
of later needs will be OF a liberal char
acter. Staple cottons are quiet but
firm, print cloths show great strength,

prosperity Is here and likely to remain
can be no longer doubted. Chicago and
st. Louis are to a considerable extent
supplying the present demand for crop
movements, but the demand from these
centres is pretty sure to be felt soon by
the New York banks. The strength of
foreign exchange which is over the gold

large trade balances due us from the

chase our own securities or being lent
