New York, Sept. 21.-Nearby and
retail merchants were prominent in
the jobbing section of the dry goods
market today. Retailers stocks be-
ing i'm excellent shape for the opening
of the fall season their purchases to-
day were heavier than usaul. Cotton
mill men had little Spo+ merchandise
to offer and buyers refused to enter
into future contracts at today's high
quotations. Mems wear agents adj
vanced many lines of worSteds. Wool
ems were indifferently situated.
New York Cotton.
New York, Sept 21.-The cotton
market was quiet on the whole, sales
for the day being estimated at only
100000 bales. but demand seemed to
be a little more general during the
early session, and prices were steadily
held most Of the midday reaction be-
ing recovered toward the close when
prices We're net 4 to Z points higher.
The opening was steady at a decline
of l point on October and December
but generally unchanged to points
higher in response to steady cables
and number of private wires re-
porting firmer interior spot markets.
There was some selling on a scale up
by local bears as we'll as realizing but
the market gradually worked higher
until around midday prices showed a
net gain of Z to points. This was
followed by reaction in the early
afternoon on reports that spot de-
mand was less active at the advance,
but after selling off to points the
market rallied in the late trading and
closed steady on renewed covering.
Southern spot markets were un-
changed to Lice higher and reports
of firm holders are accompanied by
a falling off in receipts as compared
with last season, which is supposed
to reflect slow marketing. Weather
reports were faVora BILE.

in regard to the state convention. which
meets with the Endeavors In the De-

tary committee, made a very encourag-
ing report and said they hoped to have
the secretary at work by March l.

deavor union will hold its monthly meet
