Advance in Cotton
Boosts Dry Goods

Marshall Field g. co. in their weekly
review Of the dry goods trade say:
The impetus given to the dry goods
trade by the seasonable weather of the
past week has added a comfortable in
crease to the gain in September BUSH
ness, as contrasted with that of the
same month a year ago. There IS
strong demand for merchandise to take
care OF the fall trade.
owing to the continuous rise in the
price of raw cotton, two well known
brands of ginghams were advanced &c
a yard during the week. A strong ad-
vance has also been made on print
cloths and the wider goods. such as
percales, the higher count cloths having
advanced lie a yard.
Prices now current on wool dress
goods are probably as low or lower
facturers are asking advances on re-
orders Of both cotton and wool goods.
THE fall openings that are being held
by retailers throughout the country are
resulting in heavy shipments of ready
to-wear apparel for women, misses and
children, as pointed out by an Eastern
cloak and suit trade publication
October deliveries Of ready-tO- wear
apparel will he greatly interfered with,
owing to an unusual number Of Jewish
holidays. which will limit many manu-
facturers to eighteen working days dur
ing the coming month Retailers will
need 10 make provision for their wants
of the next two months at once, IN or
der TO guard against the possibility Of
not having merchandise on hand to
take care Of their trade during the best
part OF the selling season"

The New York Journal Of Commerce
has the following on the condition Of the
cotton crop in Arkansas. Louisiana and
Tennessee.
considerable damage is
reported from rotting and sproutiug in
the bolls, but some correspondents DO
not consider this very material. Elk
cessive rains have also delayed picking,
but the amount gathered is about the
same as last year, when It was per
cent picked. The grade has also been
lowered, and the prospects of a top crop
are very poor. which was cut short by
the drouth in August. Percentage con
dition is considerably below last month
and even lower than year ago. when
II was II.
"Louisiana-E Excessive rain and boil
weevils have been the cause Of serious
deterioration. and percentage condition
will probably be considerably below a
year ago, when IL was 69.1 per cent
Bolls are rotting and sprouting The
top crop prospects are poor. Picking
is about the same as a year ago, when
It was "a per cent gathered.
''Tennessee-August drouth cut the
crop greatly and recent rains have
caused further damage, especially to
grade. 1t is doubtful if percentage
condition will equal a year ago at this
time. when il was 1912 Picking is well
advanced, being about y per cent gath
cred as against 4 per cent a year ago
Top crop prospects are poor. though a
late frost would add to the yield"
