Review of Dry Goods Market


 New York, March 27.-The prices of bleached and brown cottons, branded, have been revised 10 per cent in many instances by jobbers and agents. The sales have been increased and Fruit of the Loom, which was cut from 10 cents to g cents, has now been placed at value, showing the recovery from the extreme low level. Retailers are in the middle of their Easter trade, and are naturally dis turbed by the decline in piece goods yet the volume of curtailment has increased so widely in the mills that they will shortly become convinced that the new low prices there are no profit for the mills while cotton holds so high. Southern cloth and yarn mils have not followed the policy of eastern mills In quietly con- serving their financial Interests by shut ting down until prices on merchandise rise to fair level of profit based on what tho lessened crop of cotton Is bringing. Staple printed goods arc selling slowly. There have been several substantial con- tracts placed with fine goods mills on fancy products to be delivered from July the largest producers holding prices steady.
 Colored cottons such as working shirt materials, have been revived to clean up stocks. but selling agents are not en- couraging contracts at the new low prices, based on cents for good south ern chambray. Ginghams sell well and the staple qualities are not in abundant stock Jobbers and road men who are out with lines of blankets. mapped cot tons. etc. are booking business stead fly. Prices range about as follows:
 Print cloths, 23-inch, 4x64s, 41sc noinI- nal; 2s-inch. s4x6os. sac; ss1s-inoh. e4x64s. 5%c; brown sheetings, standard 7&c; den- inns, ounce. 14Iso; standard prints. Go; standard staple ginghams, 7c; dress ging- hams, 9c.

about Libra during the evenings from April 12 to 24, he may occasionally see a yellow sow-moving shooting star move outward from near the point II. Figure 1. Fairballs sometimes occur in this shower. A much richer shower is that of the Lyraids which is made up of swift 1y-moving, bluish, shooting stars darting outward in all directions from the region K, near Viga. These are most numerous from April % to g, but & few may be seen by extended watching on any even ing for a week before or after these dates This stream of particles follows the same path as that of the first comet of 1861. Finally, an equally rich shower may be observed in the early morning hours during the last few days of the month made up of swiftly-moving shoot ing stars, which appear to move outward from the star Gamma of the constellation Aquarus. These frequently leave streaks or trails behind them.

STOCK MARKET IS
 DULL AND NARROW
Trade Is Restrained By Money
 Demands at Present
BOND OUTLOOK IS QUIET
The Sale of New York City Bonds is Prompt But Prices Are Not Hfsh' Labor Questions Are Not Now
 Considered Very Urgent

New York. March 27.-The dull anu narrow stock market of last week pore little relation to the course or events in the outside world, except as 1t was held in restraint by the prospect or cur tailment by the double holiday ana ehe possible demands upon the money mar ket of the approaching April settle- ments.
 The money position was complicated by the weeks sale of s5o,oOO,0oo Ne" York city IA per cent bonds. The re- su,ts of that sale also illuminated the investment situation in way noA wholly cheering to sentiment. Ihe nrst impression of the sale was good, owing to the large volume of applications ana the considerable foreign demand ih- cluded The average subscript1on price of 101 .es also proved rather better than the preliminary bankers estimates. The nvaw bonds were immediately admit ted to the stock exchange to De traueo in "when issued" and the sag In the price to below the lowest at wnich al- lotments were made on subscriptions turned the feeling on the matter to one of Encouragement.
 British consols sold down during the week to the lowest price since the de- nress,on of 1907. and with that excep- lion. since the first half of the last cen- tury. The re-appearance of the short time railroad note issue in the New York market was additional evidence of the unsatisfactory investment de- mand for fixed interest securities. The sustained high prices of commodities, the excited speculation in rubber and oil shares in the London stock market and the widespread agitation for wage increases were regarded as different signs of the same unsettlement in standards of values.
 On the other side labor questions sat- isfa ction was felt over the settlement of the western railroad iremens dis pute. Hopeful views were held also of an adjustment of the coal miners trou- bles in the middle west The subject retained it's disturbing force by reason of other disputes still to be met and of the renewed attack upon the United States Steel corporation by the Amer ican Federation of Labor. The cheerful views entertained by the railroad trat- fic officials of business prospects helped the confidence in labor settlements. Business in iron was done at receding quotations.
 The problem of winter damage to the wh eat crop remained in active compl- tation Political unrest had some re- fiection in the securities markets through the apprehension of a reopen ing of the question of the tariff re- vision. |aaY

COTTON BULLS ARE
 READY FOR FIGHT
Brokers Believe That Prices
 Should Be Higher
NEW CROP IS WATCHED
Weather in Texas Will He the Gauge of Sentiment for Some Time and If It Continues Dry Prices
 Will Certainly Advance

New Orleans March 27.-The cotton market will this week emerge from the dull Easter period and the trade Will have a fresh chance to grapple with the situation. Liverpool will remain closed to- morrow, but the American markets Will be open. All markets will be open Iues- day, and it Is probable that better chance will then be offered the trading public to size up the old crop situation than has yet been seen. By that time 1t will be well known what the bears in England who are short of t. nearby positions in the New York market, really intend to do about appointments of spot cotton. At the end of this last short week no one seemed to know just how much cotton was to be reshipped.
 It is now we'll established that the fight in the old crop months is between the largest bull speculators in this country on one side and 8 combination of the most powerful spot interests in England and this country on the other. So far as brains and money are concerned the two fac tions are fairly matched. Lucky weather may have much to do with the result. Bulls. of course, claim that the statistical position is so strong that with the other factors evenly balanced they are bound to win out.
 This week, as is usually the case inn mediately after Easter, the trade will turn in earnest to the consideration or the new crop. It is becoming more and more evident that the small or even the average trader fears to carry on thans- actions in the old crop because Of the great risks involved, and this Is switch ing interest into the new crop much ear- Her than usual. The situation hinges largely upon Texas alone at the moment. and the price of the new crop months will be strengthened or weakened as the weather goes In that state.
 Much planting will be done in the west- ern belt this week. and this will tend to make tho new positions more of live is- sue. and it may be said that with this new week the new season In cotton will actually open

CLAIMS ON FIRM
 WILL BE SETTLED
James R. Keene May Not Be
 Called Into Court
THE MATTER IS TIREsoME
Creditors of Columbus and Hooking Railroad WiII Not Resort to the Courts to Get the Famews
 Deal Straight

New York, March H.-(Special. (-Wan street heard report today that nego- tiations had been opened in behalf or James R. Keane, looking to settlement of the claims of the creditors of Roberts, Hall & Criss one of the firms which went down to failure in the collapse of the Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron pool. of which MT. Keene was the man ager If this be true more men would probably have to settle with the creditors of ]. NJ. Fiske & Co., and f4athrop, Has kins Ss Go. also. The three firms failed with losses aggregating s7,ooo.oo0.
 l. That some such arrangement is under discussion is borne out by intimations that the bankruptcy proceedings before United States Commissioner Alexander may come to abrupt conclusion.
 F Creditors of Roberts. Hall 6 Criss held a meeting few days ago at which there was talk of .nstituting lawsuits against Mr. Keene Joking to a settlement of their claims. Neither MT. Keene nor his legal advisers are talking about the mat ter. MT. Keene is sick and tired or the whole matter The governors of the stoch exchange would be only too glad If some arrangement could be made whereby the Hooking scandal could be effaced from the public mind, while the creditors would welcome any proposition looking to sat isfaotion Of their claims.
 | Perley Morse. president of the Standard Audit company certified public accounts, turned over to Lawyer Wolr today ms firms transcripts of and deduction from the transactions of the 18O brokers who dealt in Hooking stock during the exis- tence of the pool. It covers hunoreds of pages. Every transaction, together with the profits of many or the nrohers' is carefully noted
 During the last few days there has been A series of conferences at the office of Merry D. Hotchkiss, receiver for La throp, Haskns & Co.,, looking to a. plan for the reorganization of the Hooking Coal and Iron property. Powerful wall street interests are said to be interested in these conferences. Morgan interests are reported to have made bid for the l property at S45 a share some time ago, | but that offer was refused by those in control of the property. Henry D. Hotcn- 1 Kiss received for the Columbus and Hooking Coal and Iron company, in dis cussinR the matter today, said it was true there had been conferences Joking to d reorganization of the Hooking com pany
 whether J. p. Morgan & Go. or the Standard oil company is represented In these conferences I do not know said MT. Hotchkiss. for the gentlemen partic- ipatirg have not divulged tho names of their principals. nor have they disclosed the interests for whom they appeared. Hooking seems to have some inherent value, and under proper reorganization eeuld probably be made a valuable prop erty."
