WEEKLY REVIEW
OF COTTON GOODS

New York, January 9.-At this period Of
the year no active trading in cotton goods
is expected and none has taken place
Buyers are now trying to test out ahe
basis of value in the markets preparatory
to Placing fall orders on cotton blankets
and mapped goods, and to resuming the
purchase of goods of a domestic and
staple character for the next few months
Supplies in first hands are not generally
as large as they We're year ago and
there are still many untitled orders on
mill books Trading in gray cloths IS
being followed closely and during the
past week some business has been done
at the bottom prices based upon 51A cents
Tor 3S12-inch, 64X60s, and Az cents for
b4X6is. This represents decline of u
cent from the top price of last year and
is not offset i'll cotton price changes.
Buyers for wholesale houses will come
to the market in large numbers about
the middle of the month and by that
time it is believed gray goods will have
settled to a level that will represent
safe basis for future movement New
fall wash goods are being shown and

| the city The settlement was first named
'Paso del Norte' meaning the north
pass. 1t is situated in the pass through
the continental divide. Later the name
was changed to Juarez. in honor of
Benito Juarez, the liberator.

This makes it haven for bunco men
and card sharps, who are continually on
the lookout for a chance to fleece the
unsuspecting visitor. Not being satisfied
with the old fashioned methods OF sepa-
rating the tourist from his cash, they
have invented the diamond electric keno,
and are now extracting the money by cleo
tricity. Five hundred people can play
at one time, and quite frequently the hall
Is crowded to its capacity, while others
stand waiting for chance to get in.
Once each year. usually during the win
ter, a gambling fiesta is held. There is
gambling of every description, cards,
roulette, craps. and many games peculiar
to the Mexlcans. This is a holiday sea son
for them and the halls are gaily deco
rated while musicians keep up the spirits
of the losers with lively music. In some
places they erect a stage and give free
vaudeville shows. The loser can also
find solace at the bar provided he can
raise the price. This gives one a NINA
ture vision of Monte Carlo.
Juarez sprang into public promi-
prominence at the outbreak of the Ma
dero revolution in 1911 Since then it
has changed hands so many times that
it is nearly Worn out and is scarcely
recognizable as the same place it was
three years ago. The duties on i'm
ports and exports average about $1,000
day This with the money derived
from the gambling concessions, the
race track, etc, makes neat sum.
Naturally the warning factions are
each desirous of gaining possession of
the port in order to secure the revenue.
MaderO Began Operations Here
The Maderista junta was located in
FL Paso, and desiring a place for his
provisional capitol, Madero began OPP
erations in the vicinity of Juarez He
gathered his army in the foothills
around Juarez and lay siege to the
city. After several skirmishes two
weeks armistice was declared. While

The bull ring Is the center of attraction
whenever a bull fight is held, for bull
fighting is the national sport in Mexico
the same as in Spain. The Matadors
with their own troop of picadors, are
frequently brought from Mexico City and
sometimes from Spain. Whenever an inn
ported matador appears 1t is a holiday af
fair to the natives. And indeed, it is
quite an imposing scene when they take

many bright colors. decorated with gold
