COTTON GOODS REVIEW.

There has been some quickening In
the movement of cotton goods at first
hands although at extremely low prices
The reductions made on percales, prints,
denims and other goods were OF a dras-
tic character. Agents are selling only
to take business for delivery till Janu-
airy l.
Buying of prints and percales has not
been as large as usual when new prices
are named because of the abandonment
of protection and price guarantees and
the uncertain attitude Of one large
printer who has not yet announced his
policy. Shlrtings are being bought
moderately by manufacturers.
A more active business is reported
among traders who are liquidating
stocks Of goods held by exporters and
cancelled because OF inability to ar
range payments. Some business mas
come forward on fine fancy wash goods
of a novelty character and there has
been q little more buying of spring
goods ranging In price from l3c to 65c
a yard.
In unfinished goods lines prices have
gone lower and the trading has been
very light Unbranded lines of bleached
cottons are offered at lower prices.
Liquidation Is still noted In many lines
Of staples and convertibles but on the
whole there has been more OF a re-
Spouse to new values this week than
there was a week ago.
Yarn markets are lower and very ir-
regular In price. Curtailment OF pro-
euction has Increased very much since
the first Of the month, some centres
now operating hardly 40 per cent OF
capacity. Wage reductions are becom-
ing more general.
Current prices are as follows Print
cloths, 2S inch 64x64s, 7c 64x60s, 6% 9.

GRAIN MARKETS.

The wheat market showed yesterday
n steadler tone. and early In the day
values advanced more than cents a
bushel on weekend covering and buy
ing by exporters against additional sales
of about a million bushels made late
on Friday. There was an absence OF
further export demand, but the market
was believed to be in a stronger techni-
cal position as result OF heavy sell-
ing during the week, and II was thought
that prices were due for rally after
the recent break of about 35 cents a
busheI. Demand was not OF an agrees
siye character, and toward its close the
market developed a reactionary tend
ency, and ut It's close gains had been
reduced to IA to &c. The suspension
of n prominent commission house on the
Produce Exchange apparently had q
bear an influence on values late In the
session. although the house was not
directly connected with grain markets.
Receipts at primary points were mod
crate, and some authorities advanced
the opinion that the trade was giving
too much attention to financial condi-
ons and ignoring the markets strong

cago where stocks are or very small
proportions, compared with the volume

Cash premiums were again firm. and
the country was not selling wheat
freely. and there was less pressure from

AMERICANS TO FEED
POLISH CHILDREN
Relief Association Will Also
Clothe 1,25O,0O0 Youngsters
This Winter.

roSpo>i Nov ls-One OF the after
maths OF the Polish-Soviet war Is that
Americans will be called uron to feed
and clothe more than 1,25o.000 Polish
children this winter through the Amer
lean Relief Administration.
Up to the time OF the latest outbreak
OF host tiles. dest'tu.!on had been so
reduced that the Relief Administration
officials believed that Poland, with the
organizatl ton the Americans had per-
fected. would be able to carry on the
work after this autumn. That is con-
sidered impossible now and preparations
are under way for caring for as many
children as during the dark days OF last
winter.
This decision came after receipt In
London Of reports of complete sur
yey of the country begun Immediately
after the Bolsheviki we're driven back.
Trained observers report that the Poles
themselves have not painted the picture
black enough. After two armies had
fought over the ground there was little
left for the chlldre;,, they re- OFT, and

ton they supply all -four received by
them through a 100000 credit granted

Alsnough the distributing organisation
