DRY GOODS REVIEW Il:

New York, August 21.-The frmness
IN TIA cotton goods markets continues,
and there is a slow broadening IN the
volume OF business coming in. Resist
ance to the higher prices now current

the need to place orders II goods are
to be made.
The mills have curtailed great deal.
and the desire to go into the next years

is entirely wanting. The volume OF
curtailment now on In the weaving and
spinning mills Is the greatest OF the.
year thus far. Printers and convert
ers have anticipated small portion OF
their wants into October, and during
the week there was greater willing
ness shown on the part of mills to er-.
ter contracts for small weekly deliv-
cries through November.
The jobbers are doing a fair business.

staples. Less irregularity In values Is
noted. Duck, denims and other heavy
cottons are frmer. with a moderate
hand to mouth demand going on. The
yarn markets are steadier. and SPIN

average prices and are getting some
small new business.

THIS WEEK LAST OF
OLD COTTON SEASON

New Orleans, La. August 21.-This
week in the cotton market. which In
reality will be the last week OF the
old season, will be devoted mainly to
on both sides Of the market
to get a clearer view OF the conditions
upon which the new session will enter
Next week there will be three days
trading of the old season left, but with
the Labor Day holidays In sight there
will be some inclination to even up
commitments and less inclination to en-
ter into new business This week there
will DO much guessing over what the
season-end statistics will show, and
attempts will be made to discount any
surprise that may be contained in the
figures. The weather will be matter

unless something unusual happens.
The situation in the Mississippi Valley
and in the Eastern belt is about all
that could be desired for, this time Of
the year, and enough rain has fallen
in Texas to put an end to most OF the
complaints OF drought. according to the
bears. For several weeks past the
bears have been anxious on account
OF the lack of rain in Texas. but now
this suspense Is over There Is one
thing that must be watched for In the
line of weather, say the bulls. and thai
is an eQuinoctial storm. In the

upward fluctuations in prices. and
therefore this time Of the year is al
ways dreaded by more timid specula-
tors. The so-called equinoctial period
extends. in the cotton market at least.
until the first OF October.
The movement of new cotton will be
watched by both sides this week, as
much depends upon this factor. Last
week 1t assumed record breaking pro-
portions. and II it increases this week
1t will tend to the belief that more
new cotton will come into sight up to
the first of September this year than
was ever recorded before. This win
nearly lead to the question OF whether
new cotton Is to become pressure on
the market. Not only will the move
ment OF new cotton In Texas be of I'M
portance, but the Georgia movement
also will have weight, for at the end
of last week 1t exhibited signs of in
;creasing largely.
In connection with the movement Of
new cotton, the attitude of mills will
be closely followed. AS yet the mills
have not entered the spot market. and
If they hold off much longer their at
titude will be feature OF extreme
Importance. The largest traders will
learn all they can about the intentions
of mills before entering the market

New York, August 21.-rhere was

either side. There were some good
swings to prices, with enough news

few cases was advantage taken OF
these favorable chances for opera
tons
weather news for the week might
bic summed up as rather bullish, and
the Giles report was certainly bullish,
but this was Offset by the movement
of new cotton. 1t is the fear OF the
aoutcoming of the new crop that gives
pause to the operations of even those
bulls who are confident that the crop
will be small and that general condi-
tons favor the bull side. With new
cotton moving portward freely, they
are disposed to wait until the first
rush of early marketing is over. or a
least until they can get an idea OF It's
volume. Possibly the belief that some
