office of The Post.
Houston, Tuesday, August "a.

Nearly everything IN the line OF cotton
,oods has scored n substantial advance
during the month of August. and prices
arc stjll tending upward. The cotton
goods market at manufacturing points
10 now ON a basis of smAc advance by
actual sales of leading staples. There Is
now talk of possibility OF 1sc ana even
sc yet to be added, but the expectation
of cheaper cotton and fun production ny
mills are factors calculated TO restrain
or moderate the price movement.
Brown cottons are especially firm at
Eastern points, and standard sheetings
and drills, three-yard drills and most de-
scrtptions of three and courtyard sheet
ings are well sold up and firm at ad-
vanced prices Light fabrics of print
cloth and other yarns are fairly active
at recently advanced prices. the toiiow-
ing price changes were made last week;
Pepperel r fine sheetings advanced &c;
Riverside Al sheetings advanced Ac;

The advances made on bleached cottons
have been moderate and further gain is
momentarlly expected. In addition to the
changes already noted in this column the
following advances were made last week:
Gided Age and Full Width, A, 1sc Ed
wards AA, A. &c; Dwight Anchor, A.

Oak View, A. &c each; Monument and

the Market "A. lac each.
Business in wide sheetlngs has been ac-
tive, with an upward tendency in prices.
The Pepperel, Laconia and Androscoggin
were advanced NC yard each.
There Is a strong feeling in the market
for print cloths and the situation Is really
much stronger than the published figures
of stocks would indicate. According to
the reports there are 1,212, 900 pieces of all
kinds on hand in Fall River and Provi-
dence. OF regular 2S-inch GA squares there
are, however, but 2S3, 900 pieces In Fall
River, and OF $4,000 L, eces at Providence
$4,000 pieces are held in one strong hand.
The visible supply on the market may
therefore be regarded as some $4,000
pieces only.

Cotton Points.
Total European stocks of cotton are @,-
900 bales less than at this tine last year.
BRENNAN received 422i bales Of cotton
last week or only 500 bales less than her
receipts for the same week IN 1895.
According to the Chronicle. S.iS.oo
tales had come into sight by August ~.
In his juno report. Secretary Hesters ig-
ures were 1000 bales in excess Of the
Chronicle.
Houston expects 1900 to 5000 bales to-
morrow, against 46H on the same day last
year. The weeks receipts will probably
reach 1900 to 5000.
