DRY GOODS EXPORT
RUSH IS EXPECTED
Urgent Requests Made by
Cable for Shipments Show
Stocks Are Low.

The demand for dry goods for export
during the last week has been only fair,
due chiefly to the fact that customers
m most export markets have covered
tner requirements for as far ahead as
sney deem advisable on present levels
Teuss' Hesslein a Co., Inc. report
lnere nave been, however. urgent re-
quests by cable for shipments.
Generally speaking, stocks on hand
IN the various export markets must be
low ana a considerable business may be
expected after the present orders have
oeen all or In great part shipped" the
company states.
One buyer who has just returned af-
ter several months stay in England re-
ports that II is very difficult to obtain
goods In Manchester"
Yarn Prices Continue to Drop.
PHnADSIPHA, Sept 1s.-The cotton
yarn list made substantial progress To-
day on Its way back to normal. South
ern single skeins and warps being cut
almost without exception. Hard white
warp twist and hard twist waste Offer
lngs yielded cent and cents a pound
respectively. Only les OF the Southern
TWO plies escaped the process of revision
downward. With the exception Of aOa
two ply warps the rest of this group
above 16s weakened from Q to cents a
pound Southern frame spun carded
hosiery yarns underwent drastic read
1ustment, irmness being displayed in
the 40s alone.
AS usual there were no reports of
price changes in two ply combed peeler
skeins, although these yarns are selling
at levels which appear at first glance to
DC entirely out OF line with the rest of
Of the list.
The fact is becoming more and more
apparent that the real impulse toward
lower yarn price levels is coming from
the spinners. Local brokers are known
to be buying yarns at present consider
ably below any such figures as have
been obtained here from spinners for a
month back.
