NORFOLK PEANUT MARKET
WEEKLY COTTON GOODS.

New York, Dec. 19.-Reduced prices on
branded domestic cotton goods, prints,
p%ercales. etc. have served to stimulate
buying by jobbers for the spring season.
These reductions were delayed by the I'M
certainty of dyestuffs supplies on the part
of the mills, and the unwillingness of job
bers to operate until raw material values
were Soundly based.
The business already booked on some
standard lines, particularly bleached cot
tons, has been larger than usual. Fruit
of the loom A goods after being reduced
from pa cents to ~ cents have been ad-
vanced to rs cents.
There has been a larger movement in
print cloths and convertibles for late de-
livery at the lowest prices of the year.
f1ne dress ginghamS will not be changed
In price for spring owing to the scarcity
and high prices of d~yeStuffs. There has
been more movement In tickingS and some
other heavy cOlOred goods.
Duck for export continues in steady de-
mand. On drills and sheetings prices are
weak and very low. Fine and fancy cot
tons have been quiet and some price con.
cessions have been made on fine gray
goods for latr delivery.
Prices quoted are as follows, and they
still show irregularity:

Some of The More important
Issues Not Quoted; Differ

(By the Associated PreSS.)

New York. Dec. 1J-Trading in secur-
tiles today was relatively lighter than
since the recent resumption of business on
the stock exchange. Some of the more i'm
portant issues were not quoted at all and
the speculative favoriteS changed hands in
small lots. The tone was steady at the

with nOminal losses at the close.
The decision of the Interstate
Commission granting partial rates In
creases to railroads in the Eastern terri
tory was again the main topic of discus
sion, with considerable diversity of opin-
ion as to its real significance.
Mercantile authorities reported improving
tendencies in many lines, the recent cold
weather having stimulated demand in the
textile trades. Record breaking cotton
shipments also afforded encouragement In
these same quarters.
The coming week is expected to witness
some important developments in the steel
industry, including publication of wage
scales for next year. Some of the larger
mills have increased this output, but i'm
mediately business continues light. De
mand for copper remains tentative, con
sumers apparently hoping for a decline
from recent price advances.
Features of the bank statement includ-
ded a moderate loan contraction, a sub
stantial cash gain and Il nominal addition
to the already large excess reserves.
