WEEKLY REWEW0F
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, September 10-Trading in cotton goods continued this week with continued irregularity in prices. Fall River disposed of 10000 pieces of print cloth. There has been some small and steady trading in light weight sheetings and drills for China and Red sea ship ment. and the steady business in prints for export goes on without much change. August sales of the latter goods were larger than usual
 The trend of the market has been to- ward firmness and converters are pay ing the slight advances that have been asked.
 Jobbers are not purchasing in any large way in any direction. but they are keep ing their wants better supplied than they were two weeks ago. and doing a bet ter class of house trade with retailers.
 Percale prices were named during the week. the finer goods being reduced half cent a yard as compared with last year. the coarser yarn goods being held at the closing prices of last season. Ging- hams were priced Saturday half cent down. Fine printed batistes were paid on the lowest margin of profit prevail ing for many years, and competition in all fine yarn fabrics continues very sharp and is being engaged in by the largest houses.
 Sellers of domestic heavy cottons are not yet ready to name new prices, as cot ton is not getting into the mill ware houses rapidly. Many mills have re- stunned operations. and 1t is estimated that from 70 to 75 per cent of spindies are in operation

BOTHPART|ES ARE
 CLAIMING VICTORY
Canadian Reciprocity Cam paign Nearing Close With
 Great Interest Manifest

Ottawa, Ont, September 10.-The Ca- nadian reciprocity campaign has been in full swing a month. An army of orators has been busy throughout the country daily and large quantities of political literature have been distrbut- ed The leaders leach party claim victory Is assured.
 Victory is in the air declared Premier Laurier at a meeting in Lon don, Ontario, Friday. T find much en- thusiasm"
 Premier Laurier has visited the mara time provinces speaking to unparalleled audiences. He goes to the district around Quebec city this week to finish the campaign.
 T am confident September 21 the electors of Canada will cast their votes against the ratification of reciprocity declared opposition Leader Borden at Charlottetown Friday. Mir. Borden has spoken at the principal centers in Can ada and also had large and enthusi- astic audiences.
 Leading speakers of both parties have attracted unusually large audi ences. The size of the gatherings in the midst of harvesting season is taken as evidence that Canadians are thor oughly interested in the question of reciprocity. Government campsj gners were seeking to keep the fiscal ascept of the Issue to the front, and their campaign was directed toward educat- ing the Canadian farmer and fisher man to the great mutual benefit which it Is claimed they will receive from access to American markets.
 Liberals secuted as absurd the con- tention of conservatives that reciproc- ity will lead Canada away from Eng land and to the United States.
 Conservative campaigners have con- fined themselves largely to the senti- mental side. The British flag, the maintenance of British connection un- til weakened and problems against closer relations with the United States form the basis of their speeches. Presi- dent Taft, Champ Clark, J. J. Hill and others were quoted from conservative platforms to show annexation of Can ada is the ulterior motive of Ameri- cans in agreeing to urge reciprocity. It was conceded if the conservatives could convince the majority of the cleo tors that reciprocity tended toward an- nexation the government would be de- feated
 It certained certain that that if gov ernment speakers satisfy voters that annexation is impossible the govern ment vii be returned by a substantial majority and reciprocity ratified. There has been little betting. A few wagers were made that the government would be returned with increased majorities. Both parties appeared to be provided with election money. There was no evidence of the possession by either party of a big corruption fund.

 TAP COAL FIELDS

MACH|N|STS DEFER
 STRIKE DECISION President O'COnnell States Immediate I. c. Strike Is
 Not Probable

Chicago, September 10.-Members of the
 executive board of the International Ma
 chinists, who met here today to con-
 slider the advisability of a strike of the
 Federated Shop Employees of the Illinois
 Central railroad, deferred decision until
 full meeting of the board which will
 begin sessions at Davenport, la, next
 Monday.
 James O'Connell, international presi- dent of the machinists, arrived early from Washington, and a conference with mem-
 bers of the machinists board and rep resentatives of the committee of inter- national officers of the Illinois Central federated unions was held Every phase of the situation was discussed, and later President O'Connell and several other members of the machinists' board con- ferred.
 We reached no decision in the matter"
 said President O'Connell tonight, follow
 ing the conference. Tt was decided the full board should pass on the advisabil-
 ity of authorizing the strike of the ma cfinists in the Illinois Central Federa-
 ton. The full board will meet Monday in Davenport, where our national conven-
 ton will be held September 1S." 'Is there any probability of an immed-
 fate striker" President OConnell was asked.
 My best judgment. he said, 'is that there is no immediate prospect of 8 strike"
 "Is 1t probable the executive board will refer the matter insofar as the ma chinsts are concerned, to the conven- tion?'
 That is very likely" President OCon- nell answered.
 The machinlsts employed on the Illinois Central are the most important men In the Federation of Shopmen, and much depends upon the approval of a stlke by their international association. J. F. McCrery, president of the system committee of the federation, and his fel- low committeeman were on hand when
 the machinsts executive board met, but
 were not called into the conference. McCrery made no statement as to tho sounding of sentiment of the men since
 the committee of international officers had failed to authorize a strike. The question now chiefly involved and which the machinists international convention may be called upon to determine Is
 whether a strike of local unions in new federation could be authorized, as these locals already are recognized through their internationals, which like wise have working agreements with the Illinois Central The sentiment of the Illinois Central officials, stated most em- phaticaly, was against strike. President O'Connell left tonight for Da- verport. While the executive board Is in
 session here Monday the conference com-
 mittee of international officers of the nine unions involved in the controversy will be waiting word here. President Me- Clery and the system federation commit- tee will also await word from Daven- nOrf

Simmons, independent buyers, raised the price 3 cents a bushel above their competitors. The cotton mill agents wired TOT instructions rom the mills and were authorized to make the same increase.

COTTON TRADE WILL WATCH SEPTEMBER Present Spot Situation Will Have Large Influence
 on Market

New Orleans, September io-This week the cotton trade Is going to watch the September spot situation very closely. and il would not be at all sur prising if the contract market followed any fresh developments in It. There are vague rumors in the air Of squeeze in September in Liverpool. If any such thing Is on. 1t ought to show up very plainly this week
 Bears contended that any such squeeze could easily be met by huge shipments from the south and some of them predict a large movement from Savannah to Liverpool. If this predic- tion has good foundation it ought to be in evidence this week as the timp for shipments from this side to Liver pool is getting decidedly short.
 The efforts of spot shorts to cover their September engagements will be one of the most important features of the market this week. Already hugo amount of spot cotton has been pur- chased by the exporters, but 1t is claim ed that September commitments are unusually large this year, and the actual stuff in quantities has yet to be bought The buying of spots means selling out of hedges in the future mar ket. This selling has already weighed on the contract market to some extent, and it may be that it will balance the effects of the spot demand unless hold CTS are very firm in their views re- ga rding prices 1t is claimed in tele- grams and letters from the eastern sec tions of the belt that spots are selling lower on a higher basis than futures in the big contract market. Should the bulls collect sufficient evidence this week to support this claim 1t would help them in their claims this week for higher prices. The least sign of the granting of concessions on the part of growers will quickly work the other way.
 The marke is fast ceasing to be a mere weather affair and Is being gov erned to a great extent by the spot market This tendency ought to be- come more pronounced this week.
 If signs are worth anything the movement ought to increase in rather a sensational manner this week. On the end of last week some traders pre- dicted that the coming weeks insight would be up near the half a million bale Such a great increase ought to arouse bearish sentiment, although when analysed 1t can hardly be said to
  cotton. Probably big receipts will help the bears more than the bulls. The coming week will be filled with inter- est. Big operators are lined on either side of the contract market and trad ing promises to become larger in volume.
 Savannah, September 10.--With car goes of cotton totalling more than 41.- 900 bales, four steamships flying tlie British flag cleared from this port to- day for Liverpool, Bremen and Man chester. The vessels and their cargoes are Dominion for Liverpool, about 15,- 900 bales; Anglo Bolivian for Bremen, 5000 bales; Author for Manchester, 10,- 900 bales; Meltonian for Liverpool, 10.- 900 bales. It is declared in shipping circles that the first half of this month will break all records for heavy, early movement.
