MODERATE TRADE
IN COTTON GOODS
Conservatism in Buying Due
to Uncertain Cotton
Values

| New York, August H-Great quiet pre-
walls In the gray and brown goods divi-
sions of the cotton goods markets and
only moderate volume of trade for fl-
ture delivery Is being done on finished
cloths for late shipment. Some part Of
the conservatism in buying is ascribed
to the apprehension concerning the value
of cotton itself later on. but larger part
| Is due, merchants think, to the desire
| fer economy In late commitments while
| there are so many political uncertainties
| In the air. Colored goods mills are stead
| lily restricting their output In consequence
of dye shortage. Bleached goods of tho
better known qualities are Arm while the
competition for business on the lower
lines has led to low prices. Ginghams
| are generally quiet and prices for a new
spring season will not be announced by
leading eastern mills until next month.
Prints ruled generally quiet although some
business was stimulated during the week
by circulars sent to the trade detailing
the anxieties of printers concerning col
ors. Export trade with Latin-American
countries Is steady and the export of
cotton duck continues large. Jobbers are
doing a moderate day to day business
and retailers are buying conservatively
for nearby needs. Fine and fancy goods
are relatively better than staples. Prices

WEAKNESS SHOWN
IN COTTON MARKET
RumOred InternatiOnalCOm
plications With Germany
Affect Prices

New Orleans. August 21.-Pronounced
weakness was shown by cotton today as
the result of dispatches from Washing
ton in connection with the sinking of the
Arabic Heavy profit-taking by shorts
saved the market from a wide slump.
This was the only support it had. The
market opened at the decline and closed
at the lowest of the day at a net loss of
IL to 15 points. si-
Poor cables caused much bearish feel
ing on the opening and considerable long
cotton was unloaded. The weather map
was called extremely favorable and added
to bearish sentiment, but little attention
was paid to the weather, or other develop
ments and features, because of the inter-
est in the situation between this country
and Germany.
In the early trading there was more
short covering to realize than was the
case later, as toward the close fresh short
selling increased on private reports from
Washington that diplomatic relations with
Germany might be broken off.

Stock Market Disturbed by
Developments of Arabic

New York, August 21.-International at
fairs doomed large on the financial hori-
zon today. Stocks were liquidated with
sfeverish haste, in consequence of latest
developments in the Arabic episode. Con-
Germ regarding this eountry's relations
with Germany was heightened when it
became known that the British govern
ment had made specific denial that the
Arabic was under naval protection when
tttacked. Advices from Washington to

Opening prices while generally lower,
mainly affected the war shares, but the
selling movement soon comprehended
such leaders as United States Steel Union
Pacific Canadian Pacific, Southern Pa
cific and Reading. Transactions in steel
were even larger than. in the early days
of the week, and at the height of the
decline a break of sc was recorded be-
tween sales.
Steel fell to 7014c, loss of SIC, Union
Pacific at 1.271s. broke &c, and Canadian,
Southern Pacific and Reading yielded
virtually 2 points each at 1.479sc, Sossc

Bethlehem Steel, although most inactive
of the prominent war stocks, sustained a
loss of II points at 2.74, with points de-
cline in the preferred at 1.41. General

SIC. Other issues of the same class, as
well as motors and minor equipment fell

SHARP BREAK. IN
COTTON PRICES
Market Opened Nervous,
But Was Steadied To-
ward the Close

New York, August 21-Improving wealth.
er conditions and reports of increased
spot offerings in the south. combined
national situation, appeared responsible
for rather sharp break in the cotton
market here today. The close vas stead
led by covering. but prices showed net
losses of from to 16 points for the day
with December contracts quoted at SAC.
or about s1.3o per bale below the high
level reached on Thursdays bulge
At the start it looked as though the
uncertainty OF the political situation was
restricting business, and trading appeared
to be chiefly in the way of closing out
OLD commitments for over the weekend.
But after opening at a decline of 3 to
points in keeping with the relatively
easy cables the market soon became more
active with sentiment bearishly Influenced
by the appearance of gradually clearing
weather in the south, and reports that
Georgia was offering spot cotton at about
tenderable basis. A good deal of the
selling seemed to come through houses
with Liverpool connections. and as Eng
llsh buyers were reported to be picking
up early new crop cotton in the south
west, there was some uncertainty as to
whether the selling here was in the way
of hedging or on straddle account In
any event. it was regarded as indicating
expectations of still further widening
of the differences between domestic and
foreign markets. and bearlsh sentiment
was also encouraged by the. less favorable
reviews of the dry goods trade at first
hands, and the unsettled ruling of the
stock market. About the only support
seemed to be in the way of realizing by
recent sellers on a scale-down and some
New Orleans selling here was accom-
panied by reports that good middling cot
ton was being offered in the market there
at 30 points on October. The break car
ried October contracts off to 9.1sc and
january to 9.57c. Port receipts today,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 21.-(Special)
All markets were under the influence
OF the possible consequences arising
from the sinking of the Arabic yester-
day morning. There was some little
further selling from the south In ex-
pectation of free offerings from plant
ers. Reduced crop estimates from Geor-
gia had no effect, as the trade thinks
the Texas storm did good instead of
narm. Wall street and Liverpool both
sold. adding to the local pessimistic
feeling. Exports of cotton goods from
America during July were so per cent
greater than last year. All statistics
relating to spinners' takings and con-
sumption will be bullish for months
TO come as compared with last year.
The trade is decidedly bearish, though
not aggressive.

bring as high price In the market.
In some communities any egg is an
egg. without regard to size, but the
choicest markets are now dividing
eggs into No. 1 and No. .. No. l must
weigh 26 ounces or more to the dozen
to meet the requirement.
Early Matching Important
EARLY Matching is important for two
reasons.
The pullets will begin to lay in the
carly fall and lay through the winter.
while the pullets that are Matched late
in the season will not begin to lay.
sometimes, until well into the winter.
and this Will hold the egg production
down.
The second reason is that a pullet
lays small eggs at first, and when
matched early in the season will lay all
her small eggs and begin to lay her
large eggs when the market Is high.
If she does not start to lay until Janu-
airy the majority of eggs will be small
and will not bring as much on the
market. She will not begin to lay
large eggs until after the price has
considerably deprecated.
1t is also contended that the early
Matched pullet will make better YEAR
ling layer than the late one. because
the late one does not seem to have as
much size and vitality. The terms
"early" and late" are relative. and
what would be early In one locality
would be late in another For ell
mate such as New Jersey March 15 Is
early enough. while May 10 is begin
ming a little late. Perhaps the ideal
time would be from April l to Is. In
this latitude, White Leghorns that are
matched as early as March Is are in
clined to go through a light mott of
wind and neck feathers. and this has
the effect of stopping their egg pro-
duction for the rest of the year
