DRY GOODS REVIEW

New York. October So--Tl,e cotton
goods market was less active during
the week, but figures were steadily
maintained save in the case of a few
numbers of convertibles. The jobbers
have apparently covered portion of
| their initial spring wants on staples
and are now disposed to await the
course of advance orders from the
retail trade.
In wholesale distributing channels
business is materially better than It
was in the early summer, but 1t is
mot yet normal, and the margin of
profit is very close and unsatisfactory.
In manufacturing circles the need Tor
gettin~ higher prices Is greater, be-
cause of the sustained high cost of
production and the absence of reserve
stocks Of lower priced cotton which
many mills had year ago. During
theS week an auction distribution Of
5000 cases of cotton blankets was
made at values ranging from ~ TO 10
percent, off the list, and the goods
were taken, promptly. This incident
shows the need for goods and the
Willingness to pay for them When
they are wanted.
Fall River sold but lis, 900 pieces Of
print cloths last week. the lightest
sales In the past four weeks. The eX-.
port trade with the large Far Eastern
markets is dull, but shipments to mis-
gcellaneous markets aggregated $500
bales week ago. Cotton yarns are
9tirmers and the demand for. them Is
Ia little more general. Weather and
tive causes for adverse trade Il gen
eral retail stores. while in wholesale
circles the conservatism OF aifinancters
is8specitied as an important cause.
