Chinese Knitting Mills Shut
Down for Want of Needle.

Tie output of the South China knit
ting factories the current year, "a re-
port from George +. Anderson, Ameti-
can Consul at Hong Kong, states. has
been greatly curtailed by lack IF
knitting Machine needles.
Previous to the war" Mr.. Anderson
writes. "most OF the machinery and &C
cessories OF this sort used here were
imported from the United States. and
in the ordinary course of business
there was no difficulty in keeping the
trade supplied with knitting needles.
During the past two years, however.
the number Of needles available from
the United States has declined until
importers complain that they are now
receiving not more than 10 per cent Of
their requirements. Some needles OF
inferior quality have been imported
recently from Japan ard few are be-
ing manufactured locally. and broken
needles are being repaired whenever
practicable. With all these mskeshifts.
however. the shortage is 50 serious
tina. the trade has been much ham
pered, and in the case Of some Of the
mills complete shutdown has fol-
lowed. The lack Of needles is consid-
cred by some factory managers as Of
more serious nature than the short
age in the supply Of yarn Occasioned
by recent high prices

New Crop of Madras Indigo

\ crop report Of the Madras Depart
ment OF Agriculture. India, recently ls-
sued. states that the area under indigo
in the Madras Presidency in the 1917
'is season is now estimated at 265. 200
acres. a. compared with an estimate
Of $4,000 acres made az the CORE
spending date last year. The decrease
is due partly 20 failure Of rains az the
sowing season in tae Deecan. but main
~ to the fall in the local price OF
indigo, dating from January. 1917.
This fall did not affect the sowings in
the southern districts. which take place
normally in December and January.
Lueien Memminger, American Consul
az Madras. writes:
"An estimate OF outturn NJ this stage
ia difficult, as much depends on the
proportion of the crop that will be
actually used for making dye. At least
a third of last years crop remains un-
exported. owing 20 freight difficulties,
20 that the local demand for dye is
poor. and in these circumstances some
OF the crop may be used for green ma
nure. The report says that about LOO
tons OF dye can be manufactured from
this years crop. but that it is unlikely
that more tban 1900 tons will be
made"

Industrial
Cotton.

Rcpcrts OF an easier Southern spot
situation. which we're followed by a
good deal CT liquidation, caused q sharp
break IN the cotton market here late
yesterday. January contracts sold OF
TO 2s.e2c. or Sc points below Satur-
days final figures, and the genera. list
closed at net declines Of 81 to 80 points
on all months except October, whieh
was 10 points lower.
The market was unsettled iron. the
start. but selling was restricted dur-
ing the earlier trading By reports that
the scarcity Of warehouse room mere
would prevent shipments OF cotton
from the South for delivery in Deem
her. There was also some Liverpool!
buying and scattering demand from
trade sources. which helped to sustain
prices, and, after opening TO 20 points
lower. there was slight rally during
the early trading.
II Was reported that cotton could
now be bought In the South at prices
which would permit Of its shipment
here FOR delivery on December at a
profit and on January without loss.
Also that local spot brokers had re-
ceived requests from shippers in vari-
Gus parts o. the belt asking for bids
on spot cotton. With the late months
selling az substantial discounts. and
with the feasibility Of shipments here
rendered uncertain b. the scarcity o.
warehouse room, these reports faile
"a inspire much selling during the
morning. The falling of in trade de-
mand was accompanied By reports that
both Northern and Eastern mills had
pretty we'll secured their requirements
for December and January, however
ard sellers seemed 10 become more az
gressive as prices eased of late in the
afternoon. 40 change was reported IN
the ocean freight situation. A rate
Of so per hundred was said TO have
been paid for room out of New York
FOR Liverpool on Saturday. with the
same price bid Tor additional space.
Rumors of bearish private ginning re-
turns may have been a factor on the
late break. These private figures arc
expected to-day. and the official gin
ming figures will be issued on Satur-
DAY. Ex.orts for the day were 6.s9J
bales, making 1,7Ss,sO5 so far this sea-
son. Southern spot markets as OIL
cially reported were unchanged 70 4C
points lower. Southwestern markets
were relatively easy on a small volume
