COTTON GOODS

New York. January 19.--Cotton goods markets ruled very firm and there has been active buying of goods offered for fall delivery at very high prices. Fancy domestics were opened for the season on a basis of 25 cents yard for goods that cost II cents a year ago, and at the high prices. buyers have rendered a larger business than they laid down last year. Owing to manufacturing condi- tions curtailine production, the mills are cutting down the orders not less than 50 per cent
 The fuel administration order did not affect cotton goods adversely, the gen. eral view of buyers being that scarcity caused by the lessened output would tend to make values higher.
 For the time being sellers are reticent on brown and gray goods to be made. Tickings have been advanced 2a cents a yard to a basis of 37Ia cents for eight ounce goods and all colored lines are firmer. Fall ginghams have opened at 221z cents yard for goods that sold at 1Sh cents in November. Wide sheetings and other domestics are very firm. with rising tendency. Duck production Is ment and both the government and the Red Cross needs are still large.
 Quotations are more or less nominal and are as follows: Print cloths. 2S-inch, 64xs4s, 9Ac; 64xsOs 9hc; SSia-inch, 64x64s, I2%c bid; brown sheetings. southern standards. 21c; denims, 2.20s. southern indigo. 321zc; tic<ings, S-ounce, 371ac; prints. 13c; ginghams, 221sc; staple ging- hams, 1Sc.

Weekly Financial Review

New York, January 19.-Wall street re- ccived with comparative calm the drastic or6er of the federal fuel administrator. Stocks reacted only moderately.
 Opinions vary as to the effect of the new regulations on general industrial and commercial conditions, but quick re- lief from long existent congestion and demoralization at important seaboard and railway centers is regarded as the pri- mary consideration.
 Unexpected labor difficulties are indi- cated by the governments edict in it's di- rect relation to millions of skilled and urskilled workers. Labor organizations are on record as willing to bear their share of the burden.
 The impending third liberty loan all ready imposes some uncertainties on the festing firmest tendencies. It is under stood the next loan campaign will be inaugurated early in March,
 Declaration of regular dividends on Baltimore and Ohio railroad shares after a months delay offered some encourage ment respecting other roads of doubtful dividend status but the attitude of in dustrial corporations in this connection may be affected by events of the week
 Exchange on the countries of the en- tente allies was little altered except for the increased strength of remittances to Paris. Trading in fires and rubles re- flected less speculative manipulation.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 19.-A stiff advance on covering of short con- tracts over the double holidays fea . tured the trading in cotton here to- day A strong demand persisted throughout the short weekend ses1 sion and was met by only small of- ferings which brought out the claim from bullish traders that the market was badly oversold. Opening at the advance the market rapidly rose un til 1t stood 62 to 77 points over yes- terday's close. Last prices showed net gains of 56 to 66 points.
 Much of the buying of the day arose, according to floor comment. from the announcement that the cotton ex- change would be closed Monday, in observance of tho fuel holiday, and the two days of inactivity caused ner- vousness among shorts. particularly that element which put out it's lines yesterday and Thursday during the selling movement which followed the publication of the fuel regulations.
 Weekend statistics were more un- favorable than favorable. mill tal1ings being small. while the visible supply increased this week instead of de- creasing as usual at this time of the year. Statistical features, however, were ignored. It was an active mar ket. with a firm undertone through out the day.

STOCK TRADING WAS LIGHT AND MARROW
Marine and United States Steel Totaled About One
 Third of Transactions

New York, Januai 19-Trading in stocks today was exc 1edingly light and narrow, even for a weekend session. Two active issues-Marine preferred and United States Steel-made up al- most one-third of the total turnover.
 Marine was heavy throughout at an extreme reaction of ? points without recovery. while steel made up it's ini- tial fractional decline on what seemed to be substantial buying.
 Copper and oils were the strongest features, gaining 1 to points on re- ports of an early and satisfactory price adjustment by the war board. Spe- cialties were featured by Wilson Pack ing at a gross gain of almost points, much of which was later forfeited.
 Rails just about held their ground, with moderate pressure upon low priced issues. Short covering con- tributed measurably to the firm close.
 General developments bearing upon the financial situation were un- changed. Foreign exchange was ir- regular, francs yielding slightly, and rubles hardening.
 Minor changes were disclosed by the bank statement, actual loans decreas- ing by s32,500,000. with a decrease Of almost S11 1000, 900 in reserves.
 A new minimum for liberty first As at 9666 was the only feature of the bond market, second As selling at o6.1S to 96.12 and the 31a at 9S.54 to 9S.46. Total bond sales, par value, aggregated s3,225,o00.
 United ss of 1s4s and Panama ss gained points on call during the week.
