WEEKLY REVIEW
OF COTTON GOODS

New York. August 1s-Retailers con-
tinue buying well in the wholesale mar
kets. In cotton goods primary market
sales of wide convertibles have been made
in limited quantities for delivery in the
last quarter of the year on a basis of 81
cents for SO inch 6Sx72s a few orders
have been placed on the same basis for
deliveries in the first three months of next
year on the construction indicated.
Spot goods are about bc yard higher.
Bleachers and finishers are being hurried
on all goods for immediate and nearby
use. Wide sheetings were advanced per
cent during the week and substantial sales
have been made for delivery in the next
GO to 80 days. Domestics are generally
steady on brown and bleached lines, but
colored goods are not so we'll sold for
nearby use. Continued steadiness is re-
ported in all duck markets where forward
operations by large operators are now
under consideration.
Fall River reported sales of about 120,-
0oo pieces of print cloth with stocks OF
about 100000 pieces. Fine and fancy cot
tons are being ordered widely for spring
but in very small lots. the chief atten-
tion being given to novelties. Traders are
less sanguine of cheap cotton crop but
they are held back in their future pur-
chases by high money and general un-
certainty attributed to, legislation on the
tariff and currency Fundamentally, the
cotton goods trade is in a strong posi-
tion because of the limited stocks OF
finished goods being carried in any quar-
ter and the maintenance of good buy
Ing power throughout the country. Prices
are as follows:
Print cloths. % inch. 64xe4s, s5sc; e4x6o

Presentments Careful Considera-
tion.-Ultimate Success Is
Promised

Washington August 1s.-Substantial
progress has been achieved. in the
judgment of administration officials
here, by John Lind, In the discharge
of his delicate mission to Mexico. They
feel the American embassy's adviser
at least has made a breach In the
wall, which theoretically had been
erected by the Mexican government to
obstruct his negotiations. The present.
ment he already has made is under
stood to be only of preliminary char
acter, and will be followed by others
setting out more In detail the object
which the American administration had
in mind in dispatching him to Mexico
City.
The delivery of these supplementary
writing will depend entirely upon the
reception which the Mexican govern
ment accords the first communication.
This Is now under careful considera-
tion, a fact regarded as of the utmost
promise for the ultimate success of the
negotiations. 1t Is understood that
while there is nothing in these views
In the nature of demand for tho
withdrawal of General Huerta from the
presidency. or for the arbitrary fixing
of the date for general election, there
is nevertheless a distinct intimation
of the administration belief that some
concession should be made by the Hu-
erta government to terminate the pres
ent insurrection and to insure the as
cendancy of truly popular govern
ment.
Open for Conferences
II these fundamentals are accepted,
the way will be open for conferences to
define the means by which the desired
results could be brought about.
1t is expected at the state depart
ment that the next step in the nego-
tiations will not be taken before Mon
day. The request of the Mexican gov

Robert Sears Wounds Will
Smith in Montgomery
When Latter is Ac-
quilted


Montgomery, August 16.-Intense excite
ment was caused in the city court room
early last night when Robert Sears, con-
stable, and former deputy sheriff, shot
down VIII Smith, negro, moment after
jury had acquitted the latter of a charge
OF shooting at Sears last December while
the constable was trying to make an ar
rest.
A single shot broke the negro's arm and
another penetrated his shoulder and
cheek. He will probably survive. Judge

the fusillade of bullets. Sears was finally
overpowered and Judge Brown ordered
him to Jail for contempt of court.
The court has summoned the grand jury
into special session Monday to take inn
mediate action.
