THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET.
Fall River Brokers Report Heavy
Business Last Week.

FALL RIVER, Mass, June l6.-Local
brokers report that last week they had
the greatest week OF business they have
enjoyed in nine months. The sales had
reached 100000 pieces and orders re
ceiyed and not filed put the total above
that figure The demand has been COM
ing in from all quarters, and, consider
ing the sacrifice prices at which buyers
sought bargains, the trading has been
free. All the wide goods obtainable at the
lowest figures were taken early, and
prices were advanced on 3Sl2 inch 64s
sixteenth of a cent and on 6S by - an
eighth Of a cent a yard. Regular goods
are still held at 2as cents, and the demand
for them Is good. The selling committee
disposed of someth!nr like 100000 pieces,
and al the close Of business yesterday they
were endeaVoring TO induce manufactUr-
ers to meet the low price and move the
stock. Ordinarily the demand would be
met freely after such long spel oi dull
business, but the cotton market
is firm and the cost of production Is abso-
uteIy below the selling price, hence man
ufactureTs are grumbling at the assur-
ance of buyers in pressing for goods at
the low neures
1t is more than six months since any
trading like the present WaS seen. In
stead Of large sales made to a few print
crs. the total is made up of sales TO many
buyers who are short Of goods and who
have been holding off TO see where q
bottom would be reached. The selling
committee made "A large sale Friday and
another yesterday. but as yet there are
some large printers who have not ap-
peared and who are apparently not anX
iOus to do any trading above pa cents
Most of the sales We're of spot goods or
for deliveries within the next eight we ecks.
The stock of wide goods Is merely nOmi-
nal while the stock Cf narrow goods is
under n million and a quarter pieces. The
purpose OF making the large sales at sac
rifce figures is to move the stock that
has accumulated here and prepare the
way for mce;rng the new cotton crop. The
goods sold were made from high priced
cotton, and the longer they were held the
more burdensome they were becoming.
The large sales have removed the dc
preston that has existed here for many
weeks A cut in wages was impracticable
for the time being, and individual curtail-
rncnt was proving a failure The men who
were refusing to enter into the move
ruent TO sacrifice their stocks were finally
conpelled to get In line or shut down.
Another result of the great sales Of the
week. and a very welcome one, will be
the large receipts of funds from outside
which will follow The city has been liv
ing on itself for long time and storage
and interest charges have been very large.
Some regard the movement as mere
furry. bat, as the tradirg in the last two
lavs exceeded that of preceding days,
with a strong demand at the closing
hours. many believe that busy season
has opened.

NEW DEMANDS FOR IRON.
Mills Ready to Concede 10 Per Cent
Increase in Wages.

Increase in Wages.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16-The de-
mand for a 10 per cent advance in mill
wages for the ensuing year will be ulti-
mately conceded, as market conditions
and the limited labor supply forbid any
other conclusion. Something akin to a
deadlock exists throughout the market,
East, West, and South. Large consumers
have submitted prices for supplies, but
only one or two large transactions have
been closed. The situation up TO today is
all in favor of manufacturers. The con-
cessions demanded by buyers will not be
granted this month. but may be next
month. There are very large pending
negotiations for billets and muck bars.
Urgent requirements for plates and
shapes have been submitted within a few
hours. Merchant pipe boiler tubes, skelp
iron, and steel, and all the materials used
in implements are in good demand
throughout the West. From Pittsburg
eastward the pressure is less.
Buyers hope to buy pig for less money
next month, and are holding off until then
except where stocks are low. The general
spirit of The market is TO wait, but the
fact cannot be ignored that the game is
against consumers, because Of the euor-
nous consumption and the neyer-endtng
requests TO hasten deliveries, as well as
the opening up of new work and appear
ance of new requirements in every branch
of the industry. 1t seems only a question
of a short time when pig-iron users viii be
obliged TO come from under their cover,
and stock up. Hardware manufacturers,
toOl-makers. mill-machinery makers, and
equipment manufacturers OF all sorts re-
port this week fresh and pressing en-
quiries for figures on specified work. The
foreign demand has fallen off somewhat
this week. but exporters say II merely
happens so; that the requirements viii
round out heavily before the close of the
year. The outlook at present IS for heavy
buying early in July.

the Cornwall and Lebanon Railroad.
About $2.0C1,GoO of this will be paid from

THE EXPORT OF TIN PLATE
An Increase Almost Ten-f0id in tie
Last Two Years.
American Manufacturers Making

Treasury Bureau Figures - Re-
American manufacturers of tin plate
are making rapid gains in their attempt
to enter the foreign markets OF the world
10 be sure, their exports are yet small as
compared with the domestic demand
which they are meeting, but they are
again reducing the imports, which tenn
porarlly increased in 1900, under the eX-
ccsslve demand and extremely high price
ot materials, and are at the same time
increasing their exports in manner
which proves interesting 10 those who
nave watched the development of this
comparatively new industry in the United
States
The figures Of the Treasury Bureau of
statistics show that the exports of tin
plate from the United States, which in
the ten months ending with April. 1893.
amounted to only 1S3, ,955 pounds. and in
the ten months ending with April, 1900.
To 2i5,9J0 pounds We're, in the ten months
ending with April, 1891, 1906. 100 pounds. In
imports OF tin plate the figures for the
ten months show material decrease as
compared with the quantity imported dur
ing the same period of the preceding
fiscal year beirg ys609.722 pounds, as
NoAiphitu Win lZo,JJo, 40 pOulluS IoI tlle
ten months period of last year.
Our total expectations of tin plate in
the fiscal year 1901 seem likely to be
from eight to ten times those of 1899.
while the importations of tin plate into
the United States promise to be little
more than one-tenth those Of 1891, the
year Of the largest importation of tin
plate into the United States, and but
about one-fifth of the average annual
importation during the five years prior
to the establishment of the tin plate
industry in the United States.
The record of tin plate prices during
the past two years shows a remarkable
tiuctuation, largely due to the ususually
high prices of material in 1890. Quota
uonS for tin plate furnished to the Treas
ury Bureau OF Statistics show the price
per box of 100 pounds of tin plate OF
Bessemer steel in New York in April,
1891, as 1920 the uniform price since Jan
uary l. 1901; in January, 1900, the price
was S. 50, while in January. 1898. it was
$3.50. Meantime the price of Straits tin,
used in the manufacture of tin plate,
has increased from 1882 cents per pound
in January, 1898, to 34.G2 cents in July,
1900, and thence downward to 2G.2 on
April 10, 1901, and again advancing TO
2Sl5 cents on June l, 1901; while steel
billets increased in price from SIS per
ton in January. 1898, to S35 per ton in
January, 1860. since which date the price
has fiuctuated considerably, finally be
coming practically stationary at SIS per
ton IN March. 1901.

report of the American Iron and Steel
Association, shows the production OF
