WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, October 23.-Advancing prices in cloths to meet the advanced price of cotton have continued during the week. The heavier classes of domes- tic staple cotton goods, brown and col ored, are working to a higher level of value as a consequence of a steady de- mand from jobbing and manufacturing trades arising primarily from a need for merchandise to go on. Selling agents have not been willing to sell late con tracts, but many have been dsposing of their spot goods and accepting contracts to run through this year or into the first or second month of next year.
 r Tickings, denims, plaids, cheviots, cot ton blankets, brown and bleached sheets, duck, cotton comforters, batting, etc., are all frmer and the buying has been gen eral on the part of some of the largest distributors
 Sub-count printed goods are not being bought so freely, but standards are at tracting more attention. The export trade continues light, and best business be- ing done on printed goods for Manila and West Indian markets. Cotton yarns are firm, but values are still below the parity of cotton at 14 cents. and mills are not eager to make large contracts, although in need of business.
 The dress goods trade Is quiet and mems wear is only moderately active on special lines. Linens rule high and firm.

MOUNTCASTLE IS
 HOLDING THE FORT

Nashville, October 23.-Relative to the controversy in Tennessee as to who is the rightful member of the democratic national committee from the state, R. E. L. Mountcastle tonight gives out a lengthy statement In which he claims to enjoy the honor. MT. Mountcastle says he was elected by the national dem ocratic convention and cites the rulings of that body to show that no state conn mittee has the right to remove its mem Der of the committee, that the power of state committees extended only to the filling of vacancies-as no vacancy, he in- sists, exists, in Tennessee's representa- ton in the national committee, the state regular committee exceeded its powers In declaring such a vacancy and electing Judge John J. Vertress to fill it.
 MT. Mountcastle further insisted that he is representing S5.O0O democrats, ma Jority of the party in Tennessee, and for this reason, among others. he cannot be rlghtfully displaced. He says he will be present at the next meeting of the natl onal commission and asserts that he will be recognized as demoeracys represeta- tive from the state.

". 5, KENYON MAY
 SUCCEED DO[L|vER
Change Might Affect Trial of
 Grocers Case Here
MAY CHANGE THE PLANS
Kenyon as Assistant Attorney General Had Outlined Course of Procedure. New Man Might Have Very
 Different Ideas

The death of United States Senator Dol liver of Iowa may affect the trial of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' association dissolution suit which is pending before the circuit court of appeal here. It is said in dispatches that William S. Ken yon assistant attorney general of the United States, who has been directing the prosecution of the grocers' case, may be named to succeed the late Senator Dolli- yer. In that event the plans that have been outlined by Mir Kenyon will be turned over to some other attorney of the department of justice and delay or change in his plans may result from this cause.
 Mir Kenyon, who was formerly attor- ney for the Illinois Central, is said to be sure to succeed to the seat made va- cant by Senator Delivers death. He re- gently filed a motion here that the groc- CTS case be given precedence over all other cases before the circuit court of appeals. He directed tho drafting of the charge of operating in restraint of trade against the association and has all along been in personal touch with the investi- gation.
 He seeks through the federal court to declare the association an illegal com- bine acting in restaint of interstate com meree. The deparement of justice wishes to declare the association illegal and dissolve it on the grounds of operating in viola ton of the Sherman act.
 MT. Kenyons probable retirement from the department, while not causing any material change in the present pro- gramme, may result in short delays and a readjustment of the plans as outlined by MT Kenyon as being the correct lines to follow.
 o. D. Street, district attorney here, will have charge of the actual contest in court. but back of him will be the entire department machinery at Washington.
 To Take Active Steps
 In connection with the grocers case it is stated that within the forthcoming few days some positive step to get in active battle will be taken.
 Judge Pardee of Atlanta, acting for the court of appeals, has been fully advised as to ltlt present. SldluS Ol lIe tdoS anu is said to be corresponding with the other members of the court looking to the decision of what step shall at this time be taken.
 It Is also expected that Assistant Attor- ney General Orland Harrison will be south in a short time to look into the status of the case.
 
 AvoiH Delays "'
 Gen. Luke E.. Wrgiht and Caruthers Ewing of Memphis. who are defending the association. have stated that any plan to avoid delays in the case will be agreeable to them, and that the defense will concur in any legitimate step which has as it's purpose a dispatching of the case to it's termination. In some circles it is stated that the association will make an effort to reach an agreement whereby some of the association plans will be changed which may result in a rapid ad- indication of the trust-busting litigation

Senator EIkins Is Better

Elkins, whose illness at his home here has prompted many anxious inquiries from friends, continued today to show improvement, according to his physicians. He passed comfortable night and the slight fever he had Tor several days was tonight practically abated.
