WEEKLY DRY GOODS.

New York, Apr. 24.-Cotton goods and
cotton yarn markets have grown firmer
and broader during the week. The high
er value Of cotton seems to be more gen
orally accepted in the buying and there
have been many evidences of increasing
confidence in the intrinsic worth of mer-
chandise. In the colored goods vision, the
acute dyestuffs situation in manufacture
ing circles is becoming more widely rec
ognized as a merchandising influence by
buyers. They are now trying more gen
orally to cover future requirements MANY
additional lines have been placed at value
or withdrawn.
Prints and percales have sold freely for
future delivery, the higher prices being
firmly maintained. Bleached cottons con-
tinue in steady request. Discounts we're
shortened on cotton duck and the large
export movement continues
Fine and fancy cottons are in better
demand for spot and future delivery.
Cling ghams, denims, tickings, colored duck
plaidS, and other colored staples are firm
er and higher Manufacturers have been
less willing to accept business for late
delivery at current prices.

ing shares were more or less neglected,
interest again shifting to war issues,
the metal shares and Mexican Petroleum.

ing new high records. Mexican Pc
troleum also broke all records, making
net gain of Al points on confirmation

ed into a very advantageous selling agree
ment with leading British interests.
Reading, Union Pacific, st. Paul and
other stocks in the investment class shar-
ed in the later movement. Stocks of the
roads coming within the category Of re-
organized properties were under pressure
as also were some of the iSloated indus
trials.

pectedly large cash gain which was re
hected in a reserve increase of $4,000 GEO
Loans expanded by little over SIC, COO.
