ELSEWHERE IT'S DULL
The Strain in the Cotton Goods
Branch of the Textile Market
Increases With the Upward
Flight of the Raw
Material.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Jan. 29-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Weather conditions have been unfa
vorable throughout a wide area, AMI,
while in some instances helpful to retail
trade, extreme cold or heavy SHOWS have
rather sharply checked spring trade and
retarded transportation. There is a rath-
er quieter feeling found also in several
lires of speculation and of industry. An
exception to this is found in the South,
which section, stimulated by almost I'M
dreamed of cotton prices, is preparing to
plant an enormous acreage. Spring trade,
which was opening up actively in the
Southwest, has been practically to q
standstll for the time being by zero
weather.
Rather less satisfactory reports como
from the iron and steel trade. Southern
iron is claimed to be unchanged, but
Northern iron is weaker, foundry grades
not being in active demand. The railroads
are still out of the market for rails.
1.-The strain in the cotton goods branch
OF the textile market increases rather
than diminishes with the steady upward
flight of the raw material. Buyers OF
cotton goods have shown a disposition to
trade more freely and to pay higher
Prices, but all markets sellers are
slow to fill orders except at value
