Cotton Goods Review
By Associated Press

New York. February 22.-Cotton goods markets were little steadier during the week, but the buying movc- ment is still comparatively small in first hands. Additional prices have been named on percales for the fall sea son and for spot delivery, and on the same basis that fixed by large pro ducer two weeks ago. The volume of new business coming forward has showed littel increase.
 Print cloths are slightly higher and a few contract sales are reported carry ing through April and May. Bleached muslins, unbranded, are irregular, while the prices on standard brands are being held fairly steady. New business on shirtngs is beginning to come forward in moderate lots. The local jobbing trade has been showing a steady i'm provement in the number of small scat tered sales and the house trade has been much better than it was earlier in the month. Sales are being made in the knit goods market. where prices are lower.
 In some instances prices are down 20 percent fromSthe figures quoted in De- cember and early January. Cotton yarns have been very thoroughly revised in price and spinners are more willing to accept business on the new and lower levels. Production is being greatly cur tailed Converters are beginning to show more interest in future require ments and they state that finishing costs are being revised III some places
 Current prices are as follows: Print cloths, 2S-inch 64x64s, TAG; 64x60's, 6Tc; 3S-1a inch 64x64s, 9hc; brown

 Acreage prices in the new field, however, are more startling than stock prices When acreage reached 5000 this was regarded as stiff price. But it continued to advance. Old time oil men declared that more than $500O an acre could not be paid if the operator was to make anything. But prices advanced to $1e.000 and $15.000 for inside stuff Still they continued to climb, and recently small fractions have been sold on basis of more than $100.0c0 an acre.
 Burkburnett is a milling, surging, mass of men. teams, automobiles and trucks. It is impossible to set accommodations in the town and conditions are nearly as bad in the city of Wichita Falls. few miles away. Jewellers and automobile dealers have waxed fat in these towns, for the newly rich in manyt cases demand big cars and big dis- monds and are willing to pay fabu- lous prices ** *-Fort Worth Record of Sunday.

SoAiiAAioSAoAi' T VI w VT LII SAdHiOCl U brought in during the last two months. The production is holding up and the wells rival any in the world for continuity of flow.
 Probably the most striking fea- ture of all is the lack of "dusters," or dry holes. the record being un- equaled by any other field in the country.
 BIG PROFITS ARE MADE
 Burkburnett doubtless has en- riched more poor men thin any field in history. If offered oppor- tunities for the poor man. for acre age or stock could be had in small lots at low figures in the begin ming.
 Stockholders who had invested $1O0 in the original Fowler company sold out for from $10,000 to $15,000. Many owners of land and lease took even larger percentage of profits Stock in many of the companies selling from from two to ten times what it cost a few months or weeks ago.
 Recently the Marine Oil company, which was organized Aug. 14. 1918, with a capitalization of $2OO,O0U. and which owned 200 acres in the Burkburnett field. sold it's hold-. ings to Gilliland & Richards of Tulsa. Okla. for $3.5O0,00O. giving the stockholders 175o per cent profit.

More than 200 such com panies have offices in Fort Worth and the greater number of them are operating, or propose to operate, in Burkburnett. Twenty-Five com panies have paid dividends, aver aging 67 per cent of their capitali- zation in the few months of their existence, and it is expected that so more will be paying dividends by April 1.
 Wildcattin beyond the townsite has extended the field in every di- rection. There is now much activity across the Red river and leases on the Oklahoma side are being sold at 5000 per acre. West of Burk- burnett townsite wells recently brought in by the Humble com pany and the Texas company have extended the field six miles in that direction.
 Wichita county is now producing petroleum wprth about $60,000,00 per year.
 There are approximately 2I5 wells producing in the new Burk burnett field. 120 more are on top of the sand, 150 are drilling and 50 rigs are up awaiting tools, making a total of 595.
