Visiting Buyers Fill Cot
ton Goods SalesrOOnis;
Prices Are Advanced

As the sample rooms filed yesterday
with customers willing to buy prices
for various lines Of cotton goods we're
marked up. The receipt Of large export
orders accentuated the rising tenden-
cy impaired to the market by the heavy
domestic demands. Many buyers were
seen TO depart from the salesrooms OF
leading firms with an air of disappoint-
ment, the reason being that they
were unable to get the mill agents TO
accept orders in large volume.
Ginghams for spring delivery were
allotted on the basis of limited yard
age 10 each customer, the prices being
at value which means that those
prevailing a. the time of delivery Will
be charged on the customers bills.
Shipments Of those fabrics will be
made during the period extending from
December to March next. number
Of the producers Of other kinds Of col
ored goods rejected orders on the
ground that they were more concerned
with getting out production 70 fill con-
tracts already on their books than they
were both booking new business.
Several we'll known brands OF
bleachcd goods were advanced ga
cents TO cents a yard, but, despite
the higher prices demanded by the
mill agents for these goods, buying
did not abate. Filling sateens for lin
ings were in strong demand. One OF
the leading producers increased prices
on drills 70 81 cents yard, this be-
ing an advance Of one cent over the
level prevailing last Thursday.
Export trade in colored, gray and
bleached fabrics was reported 20 be OF
large volume: the Levant, Scandinavian
and Latin-Americs countries being the
best customers. Fair orders were re-
ceived by cable from South Africa.
One authority on export trade stated
that at present the output OF the Amer
ican mills was wholly inadequate TO
meet the volume OF business coming
from foreign sources unless the home
trade was stinted IN order to accom-
modate the buyers abroad Domestic
demand for unbleached cloths seemed
% be slightly less than on the pre-
ceding day. but it was said that buy
srs were discouraged from operating
by the scarcity OF mill offerings.
Prices were firm. and the print cloth.
6S-72s, went 10 % cents yard, an in
crease OF one cent over Mondays level.

Out.of.To,on Merchants
Buy Silks Heavily
Despite Advances

Buyers were present in tho silk dis
trict yesterday in large numbers,
and although many Of the lead
Ing jobbers advanced prices sharp
ly business moved at an active
pace. The majority Of the orders were
placed by out Of town merchants, who
seemed s, anxious to get merchandise
that they did not balk on paying the
increased price asked.
Some of tho local garment cutters
seemed prone to buy on hand to
mouth basis because Of the increased
quotations, and number OF them ex-
pressed the opinion that the advance
had been too rapid over a short span
of time to hold. Sellers countered with
the assertion that prices were not like
ly to decline in the near future; that
an actual scarcity Of goods exists and
that supplies cannot be appreclaoly
augmented with labor conditions 50
unsettled as they are at present. job
bers' prices for black taffetas were ad-
vanced 2h to 5 cents a yard. colored
taffetas Is to 25 cents and black
dutchess, a heavy satin faced fabric,
5 to 10 cents. Manufacturers who
adopted the policy earlier In the sea
son Of selling only part OF their out
puts on advance orders appeared to be
supplied with limited quantities or
goods, which they sold readily to visit
ing representatives of jobbing concerns,
Complains Of backward deliveries by the
mills have not abated.

Business Money

iority OF cases they are In fairly
strong cash position which makes
heavy borrowing unnecessary. ms
condition ts not expected to last long
since it is only natural as the volume
of business in the country increases,
with commodity prices where they are,
that a larger amount OF credit Will be
needed TO finance given business.
Tight call money served TO quiet
the market for bank acceptances. This
market had shown evidences on Mon
day Of broadening out but with call
rates ct such attractive levels as 10
and II per cent interest in acceptancess'
rates for which were unchanged,
slackened perceptably.
