Raw SILK Prices Go In.

The local raw silk market is active.
with steadily increasing business at adj
yancing prices. say II. l.. Gwaiter & Co.
In their weekly report. There is a very
urgent demand for spot silks of various
descriptions. which are commanding a
premium. but buyers find stocks In i'm
porters hands extremely light and poorly
assorted, and the tightness of the situa-
ton Is much aggravated by the fact that
shipments OF raw silk OF at least four
different steamships have been tied up
in the last week or two in consequence
of the bankers not having received the
shipping papers necessary for effecting
the Cueto House clearance.
No reliable details are at hand yet as
to the final outcome Of the new crop in
Europe. but 1t appears that the crop in
both Italy and France Is smaller than
was expected
The Yokohama market within the last
week has been the subject of sharp
drop and an equally rapid recovery. A
particularly good demand is evident for
high class silks of the double extra
grade. both in yellow and white. the
Prices of which have greatly appreciated.
The Canton market Is quiet. The Shanghai
market continues unchanged. Tussah
silks continue firm and the market is
bare of stocks.

A feature OF Yesterdays cotton mar
ket was break OF c45 points in July

points, or $50 a bale, from the closing OF
Monday night. or new crop positions
October was relatively the weakest. and
at one time sold 80 points net lower to

deliveries was due to an increasing new
crop movement in the Southwest and "A
further decided break in some of the
Southern spot markets.
At the opening, which was rather firm.
prices were is to SO points net higher.
and this was followed by further adj
vances during the early forenoon. which
carried new crop positions from 80 to 80
points above Tuesdays close. Conspicu-
Gus among the buyers on this advance
were Japanese interests which are sup
posed to have taken upward of 100000
bales of October, December and January
contracts in the last few days. There
was also some Liverpool buying and
active local covering based on bullish
report by Memphis newspaper regard
ing Texas conditions and the continued
dry weather in that state.
Expectations of n bullish weekly Gov
eminent report proved groundless How
ever the market after IL O'Clock had n
violent reaction in which July sold as
low as "a G5c October 24.10c.. and De-
cember 23.53c., or from 2 to 30 points
under the previous close on new crop
positions. The weekly report was dis
tinctly favorable as to conditions east
of the river and not so bulish regard
Ing Texas prospects as expected. From
these low levels there was n late rally
OF about 40 points on covering and sup
port from spot interests who had been
among the heavier sellers of the first
hour, as they were yesterday. The
close was III points lower on January
and from I to IS points net higher on
new crop positions. As an indication OF
Texas prospects one house received a
wire claiming that Bell county, in the
drought area. would make almost double
Its last years crop with rain in the
next ten days. 1t was said that outside
Of the drought area the Texas crop con-
dition is very fine and not being hurt by
lack of rain at this time.
A renewal of peace rumors and con.
tinued progress by the Allies had some

porter will say tomorrow. Present or
dcrs, however. for the better grades of
shoes are up to factory capacity.
The cheap lines still continue quiet,
with no prospect OF an immediate in
crease. Wages are advancing, and with
the increased cost OF materials and man
ufacture there is a continually advance
ing tendency in shoe prices.
The leather markets are quiet Tan
ners are holding firm, and are backed
up in this position because of the small
amount Of leather they have on hand
unsold.
Labor troubles in New England are
slowing shoe production and lessening
the demand for leather.
