COTTON GOODS REVIEW.
Trading Done in Anticipation Of
Further Revision Of Prices.

Many cotton goods prices are yet to be
announced by the Government price ix-
ing board and trading Is being, done in
anticipation OF the further revision to be
announced in a few days. On cloths
that have been priced. such a sheetings,
twills and duck, mills are accepting a
few orders and are not able to book as
much business Rs the demand calls for
owing to the volume of old orders un-
fl,led and the constant increase In Gov
eminent requirements.
Preparations are under way for the
ALLEGATION Of orders for 100000 sheets
and 2,5o0,0o pillow cases and further
huge quantities Of bandage cloths and
other hospital requirements. The large
orders for mapped cottons for medical
purposes have been distributed among
the mills. nearly 100000 yards In all,
and with the limited production Of mills
due TO labor conditions, II is expected
civilian needs will have to be submerged.
Jobbers are buying very moderately and
retailers are hesitating.
The cotton condition report of the
week has lcssened the belief Of large
and merchants think II will help to
steady the views Of traders who have
been anticipating much lower cloth
prices than seem possible in tho near fu
ture. Some jobbers have begun TO revise
their domestic goods prices in keeping
with the basis OF value suggested by the
Government but this has not become
general as yet. The initial orders for
wash goods for spring have been fair
but not up to expectations.
Prices quoted are very irregular, as

COTTON PRICES RISE
ON BULLISH NEWS
Market Opens With Keen Ac.
tiyity and Early Advances
Reach 70 Points.

The accumulation Of bullish news over
night gave the cotton market yesterday
one OF the most active openings in sew
eral weeks and advanced prices from
65 to 70 points in early transactions. or
about s11 a bale above the lowest levels
por: made its appearance on Thursday.
During the first hour October sold as
high as 10000. and December to 26.40c.,
while January reached 26.Ssc. and while
SC me reaction took place from these lev
els under natural realizing operations,
the undertone remained very firm all of
the morning.
One OF the leading influences con-
nected with the advance was a cable to
the effect that Lancashire cotton mills
are TO be permitted to run more hours
weekly and to use increased ma chinery
as the outcome of q conference between
the Cotton Control Board and the presi-
dent OF the Board Of Trade.
Other factors which had bearing on
the forenoon advance were very favor
Bile war advices and continued hullish
weather conditions in all parts OF the
belt Private advfces from Texas said
there had been steady deterioration ever
since the Government report was pub
lished and that present conditions were
at least S points lower than those re-
pr rted on July IS. Increasing attention
was paid also to the Eastern belt. where
showers have persisted for some weeks
and were predicted again for over Sun
day. such heavy rains were shown in
the details toward noon that fresh
buying movement carried October up to
2I.T0c., December to 27.15c. and Janu-
AIRY to 27c., which was from 1876 to I4s
points above the previous nights close
and represented a total advance since
last Thursday morning OF about SIS a
bale. The close was strong and 65 ia
1873 points net higher.
Print cloth sales at Fall River for the
week amounted to 100000 pieces. COM
pared with 1901 pieces last year while
curtallment was 10000, compared with
100000 a year ago. Trading at Fall
River was confined almost entirely to
print cloth yarn goods Many operatives
1t was said, are being drawn by the draf,
and their places are not being filled.

steady and IS points higher at 31.10c
