DRY GOODS

New York, October 9.-The primary
movement in cotton goods has broad
ened during the week, and prices arc
notably higher. Commission houses
have been able to sell more freely, and
while trade Is restricted in the matter
of long contracts because of the high
cost of cotton in which mills are no,
yet covered stock goods are being
worked off very, fast and scarcity lr
many lines Is evident. Fruit of the
loom 4-4s and rs bleached sheetings
have been sold out, and orders Will now
be taken at value only.
Fall River sold 10000 pieces during
the week, Of which $4,000 pieces were
for spot delivery. A small export de-
mand for China shipment could not
be met, because of the low prices ten
dered. Brown sheetings, print cloths
and convertibles are up from is cent
to IA cent yard. The jobbing trade
shows little change, save that retail
ers orders are somewhat more numer-
Gus on staples for immediate delivery
The. rise in cotton has strengthened
the dry goods market in some degree.
but the underlying cause Is believed
by merchants to be traceable to long
needs now being filed.
Mills making yarns and cloths are
very slow to accept long contracts,
and are selling chiefly with the hope
that as the demand for merchandise
increases, the scarcity of stocks will
bring prices to partly with the raw
material

was some relaxation in foreign money
markets as well as here with the re-
fux to the channels of the money
market of the funds disbursed This
relaxation from the more temporary re-
quirements did not conceal the con-
tiued operation of other forces of de-
pletion OF bank reserves. The need of
the Interior money markets to move
the crops Is not satisfied fully, and
banks maintain a cautious attitude IN
the extension OF new credits.
One ground for Improvement in the
bond market is shown in the heavy con
traction In the rate of new capitai
issues for the third quarter Of the
year, for which the total par value, ac-
cordng to the Journal of Commerce,
fell to $194,a55,000 compared with SAIL
$4,000 in the second quarter Tne
heavy shrinkage in new capital is
sued also accounts for the cutting
down of new enterprise and capital
outlay by the railroads and corpora
tons, That new issues in large volume
await an Improvement IN the invest
ment demand is obvious. The poor
showing of the government report OF,
cotton condition and storm damage to
that crop hurt none of the stocks most
nearly concerned There was some
anxiety over the untitled tonnage re-
port to be made by the United States
Steel Corporation as of october 1. The
September reduction of copper stocks
was a favorable augury for that trade.

IRON AND STEEL

New York, October Every little
that Is encoura ging is to be said about
business in finished steel products dur
pig-iron developments have been dis
tinctly disappointing to producing in
terests. Blast furnaces companies are
facing serious situation. Apparently
loss must be accepted, whether ore
is resold or converted into pig-iron.
The iron masters seem to have accept
ed the latter horn of the dilemma, as
production is being slightly increased
instead of more furnaces blowing out.
In September the orders on the books
of the merchant furnaces decreased
heavily and stocks increased; the latter

West the principal contracts secured
included 5000 tons more of basic n

TRADE WILL
MATCH SPOT DEMAND

New orleans, La, October 9.-During
the week to come, with the Manchester
lockout called off and mills In almost
every locality running, the cotton
trade will pay great deal of atten-
ton to the spot demand. The time
has come when operators on both sides
OF the market are seeking more infor-
nation in regard to the attitude OF
spinners toward spots at present prices.
There were signs at the close Of last
week that spinners were buying on a
very large scale in this country. Liv
erpool spot sales We're also regarded
as very large considering the unset
tied conditions brought about by the
labor dispute in Lancashire and the
high prices. From many sections of
the cotton belt kilograms We're received
stating that farmers were able to sell
anything and everything they had TO
offer at the highest prices since the
Civil War. IN some localities farmers
were meeting the demand, but in 9TH
ers they Were holding for still higher
prices The question this week will be
as to how far the spinners will follow
the advance before announcing that
the cost of raw cotton is prohibitive
In connection with this phase of the
situation traders in cotton will read
every scrap of Information In regard
TO the cotton goods market, as there
are signs that stocks of both cotton
