Man chester cables say that cloth manufacturers are gradually attaining a stronger position. though trade was unevenly distributed. some sellers having found an improved demand. while others report a poor turnout. During the past 24 hours rain was reported from Georgia. Tennessee and the Caroiinas, other wise fair weather prevails throughout the belt It was predicted that fair weather will con tinue over the valley and West Gulf States to- night and Tuesday. except that there will probably be showers over the northern por- ton. While Liverpool was discourasing the greatest disappointment to American operators was the failure of the general rains and cold wave in the western section of the South to take place over Sunday. The withdrawal of exporters and spinners necessarily adversely influenced spots and the weakness established was accelerated by the large receipts. The ma jorfty of operators still believe in higher prices eventually. Nevertheless. irrespective of opin- ions. the future course of values will be regu- lated principally by the receipts and the de- mand for spots.
