COTTON GOODS REVIEW.
Manufacturers Awaiting Decision
on u. 4. Price Fixing.

The cotton goods markets have been
very quiet in the last week awaiting an
nouncement of a price stabilizng policy
by the Government The tentative agree
ment arrived Mt early last month Is ex-
pested to be confirmed and a price basis
established. Suggested prices are 60
cents a pound for yard sheet!ngs. 20
cents for yard 5ex6Os and SO cents for
3SL2 inch 64x60s. These values are
slightly lower than those suggested by
the War Service Committee OF the trade
and substantially lower than current
values.
Until a basis is established manufac-
turers are disinclined 10 make a move
and merchants are uncertain. A further
serious element of uncertainty was In
troduced in the trade by the Govern
ment announcement of conditions in the
growing cotton crop. This factor would
have depressed prices very materially in
a normal market, and it is expected
that It will exert considerable influence
for the balance OF the year In checking
the high price tendency. Government
orders continue very large and dominate
the situation.
Mills are constantly deferring civilian
business and In offering new spring lines
they are warning buyers that normal
sized orders cannot be take care OF. II
will take some time to ADJUST tradinS 10
the Government restrictions that are In
sight and in the meantime there are
many Indications OF a very full demand
substantial dividends are being declared
by the mills, giving evidence OF the pros
perity OF producers During the week
there were several strikes In northern
New England mills, arising from wage
disputes.
prices current are purely nominal as
future business will be subject to Gov
ernment revision. Quotations follow !:

COTTON CONTINUES
AN UPWARD TREND
October Contracts Sell as High
as 1927, an Advance Of
1925 u Bale.

There was a further sharp advance in
the cotton market yesterday on contin-
uation of Fridays buying movement Oc-
tober contracts sold up to 25.27c,, making
an advance OF 1925 per bale from the
closing price OF the previous day and OF
over S. per bale from the low level OF
Wednesday. That month closed at 24.97c.

covery 1t seemed tho opinion among
local brokers that the action OF prices
reelected strong technical position :
that a large short interest had accumu-
lated on the end June crop indication
and that the long contracts were held
either by the trade or other strong In
terests. Uneasiness over drought condi-
tons in parts OF Texas and apprehen-
slons that the boil weevil. which are re-
ported numerous in infected sections
will cause serious damage in the eastern
belt, combined with the absence OF more
active hedging against either old or
prospective new crop cotton, are the fac
tors considered chiefly responsible for
the covering movement.

PRICE MOVEMENTS
NARROW ON CURB
Independent Oil Stocks in De.
mand, but Few Important
Changes Made.

The market for curb securities was
quiet and embarrassing yesterday. Price
movements were narrow and advances
and losses were about evenly divided.
At the opening the tone was firm. but
after the first few minutes OF trading
tho market turned irregular. The mo-
tors were weak after brief display Of
strength. United declined about a point
and Chevrolet sold several points OF
from the early high.
The independent oil shares were in
good demand, but few important changes
were made. Island Oil was firm. prob
ably on the report that the first ship
m,nt of oil from Mexico to the Atlantic
Refining Company at Philadelphia
showed the oil TO be of high quality.
Houston and Merritt Oil were dull, the
latter selling OF a small fraction. Pierce
OIL was in good demand and estab-
lished a new high level for the current
year.
Royal Dutch rights were quite ac-
tive and displayed weakness throughout
the session. The specialties mostly were
neglected. only a few OF the issues being
active.
Mining stocks were dull and feature
less.
Bonds were quite active in the second
hour and advanced fractionally. Fed

RAIL STOCKHOLDERS
MAY FORCE ACTION
Contract Problem Probably
Will Be Taken to Courts
for Settlement.

WAsH1NoToN, July GA way has
been found to place xafe railway contract
problem, 1t was learned to-day from
high authority. squarely before Presi-
dent Wilson and Director-General Nc
Adoo This is the result OF Samuel
untermyer's recent conference with
President Wilson and present plans call
for the following procedure. Early next
week the representatives of the Rail-
road Administration, headed by Judge
Payne. will make public the terms they
wish Incorporated in the blanket con-
tract. Thereupon the Railway Stock
holders Committee. which is headed by
s. Davies Warfeld, with Samuel Inter
myer as counsel, will reject them
promptly in toto and declare for a con-
tract leaving to the railroad corpora

rental guaranteed by the railroad act.

10 the President and the Director-Gen-
eral with a threat OF resort to litiga-
tton provided the contract continues to
fail to meet the stockholders require
ments.
1t can be said that the large majority
OF the railway presidents and their
lawyers, headed by o. b. Thom are not
in sympathy with the plan to resort to
litigation under any circumstances, not
even as last resort Their meeting
Of July ~. it is said. will make their
stand perfectly clear, which is to abide
by the final decision OF President Will
son. but to continue the negotiations
until their point of view is presented
fully. They hold that litigation would
be unpatriotic and harmful In the long
run to the best interests OF the rail-
ways.
1t has been reported frequently that
the railroad stockholders organization
was inclined to take the bit In It's teeth
and to bring about a crisis on account Of
the danger to railroad credit of the con-
tinuance of negotiations, which have
been going on for more than Ave months,
but the result of Mr.. Untermyers confer
ence is the first indication that drastic
action is expected next week.
1t will be recalled that at the June 5
meeting of 125 railroad presidents and
lawyers at the New Haven board room
in the Grand Central Terminal Samuel
Untermyer advised that the whole mat
ter be placed in the hands OF the Rail-
way Stockholders Committee and that
the question be fought out in the courts
II necessary. The views OF the railway
presidents to continue the negotiations
with subordinate officers Of the Railroad
Administration prevailed and the meet
ing declared itself sQuarely against liti-
cation. BN the results Of day to day
conferences in the past thirty-one days
have been nil and the stockholders COM
mittee is now determined to get action
and get II quickly.
