BUT LITTLE DOING

This is going TO be another holiday

sumed Until the following Tuesday.
The market does not open until Tues
day on this side OF the water and Wed
nesday In Liverpool. This leaves very
iittie time for operations of !mpoCt-
ancc.
The labor troubles in the Lar
cashire mill district of England
promise TO be the big feature of the
week. They had depressing lnIu-
ence on the market toward the close
OF last week, and unless the situation
brightens they bid fair to dominat.

"a general lockout take place consump-
ton would be materially curtailed, al
though some business would be- turn

sibly TO mills on this side Of the water.
1t is claimed that master spinners %.
the Manchester mills were unable TO
get SUFFICIENT hands to run thei- ma
chinery to it's full capacity on account

hands which caused the dispute. There
fore what promised TO be very.
hulltsh factor in the market has proved
boomerang TO the bulls. Settlement
Of the dispute would not have as much
effect on cotton as the enforcement
Of lockout
The end Of the week also ends the
period to be considered in the next re-
port on ginning By the Census Bureau.
Already some very bearish claims have
been made about the amount of cot
ton einncd since the last report and
?roha ably the market will hear vcrv
liberal estimates OF the census returns
toward the end OF the week, which
may work against prices.

at Fall River were light. as mills

turned out to have been the result of

yesterday afternoon, however, that

1t now transpircs that the mills at
Lancashire and Manchester have be-

organizations there to dominate their
policies, and serious rupture be-

an issue. The operatives In mill at

either because they refused To Join the
labor union or their employers would
not discharge them. the latest cable

New York, December 2S-Trading
IN -couon the past week was moder-
a;ely active, but without any degree
OF assurance as TO the tendency OF
prices either way. This has been be-
cause OF the general uncertainty OF
the attituGc to be taken as regards
iiXed position on the course of prices
The conflicting influences are the big
crop Of over l5,c0o,Uo0 bales, with the
season in the foreign producing coun-
tries still much too early to make any
oefnite calculations as to how the
crops OF Egypt, India and Russia are
goins to turn out.
The attitude OF actual holders of
cotton In the south carrying the bal
ancc Of the crop is also uncertain. and
likewise the general business situa-
ton In this country. Then there is
the uncertainty as to what kind of q
tariff bill will be put through by the
present Congress. Thus the largest
!oca! operators are still mixed in their
opinions on the general tendency.
