Some fair sized contracts are reported
In the dress goods yarn market, but as a
whole the demand is below expectations.
What effect the garment strike Is having
on the situation manufacturers and job
bers are unable to cay. There is appar-
emily little stock of this merchandise on
hand. and dealers expect quick revival
upon the settlement OF tho strike. Mills
report large advance orders. but dealers
show little quantity buying by the pub
lie. Some Improvement IA noted, how
ever. In the buying by the carpet and
rug trade. worsted carpet yarns having
been ordered on a conservative scale.

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Stiffening of Wool Prices In
dicates Firmness for Spring
Fabrics.

In view OF the stiffening OF prices in
the wool and yarn markets now evident
manufacturers hold forth no hope OF any
reduction in price OF fabrics for. the
spring trade. One In close touch with
the trend OF the industry says the only
possible solution for meeting the con-
sumers' demand for lower prices lies IN
the mills bringing out fabrics Of lower
quality. On the other hand. any attempt
to Increase prices will undoubtedly re-
suit In a further slump In the market
While manufacturers are hoping for a
reduction opinion seems to be general
that any real cuts in clothing prices can
come about only through lower produc-
ton costs.

Belt Vogue Profitable.

Somewhat Of a boom Is being expert
enced by button manufacturers due to
the increasing demand for belts on suits
and cloaks. which neoessitates the use of
more buttons. The tendency appears to
be for the celIuloid and gallathie but
tons with metal trimmings, while the
so-called ball button is also In fair de-
nand. Reports from buyers also indi-
cate leather effects to be showing up IN
many branches fer trimming purposes.
For spring wear pearl girdles are being
displayed. Manufacturers report little
foreign competition in this line, due to
the fact that Immediate delivery is
wanted, which foreign manufacturers
are unable to guarantee.

RAIN In SOUTHWEST
SENDS WHEAT DOWN
Purchasing by Japan Helps to
Lift Prices Early-Corn
and Oats Lower.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.--Wheat underwent a
setback in price to-day largely as a
result OF selling pressure due to more or
less general relief from drought In the
southwest. The market cloed heavy,
With May S1.151s to Si.15A and July
S1.oSH 10 S1.0S Is. Corn lost Sc TO 1c
and oats i46D%c to 3ac. Provisions
ended from sc decline TO 2i5c advance
At first wheat averaged little higher
owing apparently to n moderate demand
from houses with seaboard connections
and 70 London dispatches emphasizing
reports that Japan of late had been a
purchaser on large scale. Gossip In
some quarters. however. that Japanese
buying was In the nature OF prepara-
tion for war failed to meet with any
general acceptance. On the contrary,
uptuIns in price met with Increased Of
forlngs. especially from southwestern
sources and affecting In particular the
July delivery, q new crop month. which
touched Il new low price record for the
season. The weakness IN July acted as
Il drag on the old crop deliveries, De-
cenlber and May, and the market closed
aG the lowest level. An estimate that
-, 900, 600 bushels surplus from the old
crop still remained in Argentina was q
late beaish factor.
Selling OF corn by cash houses tended
to weaken corn and oats. Export de-
,uand for corn continued, and southern
call for oats was better.
Provisions were neglected on account
OF the packing house strike. Nomi-
naliy the market showed no important
change.

No Snap to Gray Goods.

Little activity was reported In the
local gray goods market yesterday, al
though inquiries were made as to prices.
The falling off In the cotton market had
a tendency to make buyers conservative.
Sales of els sheesings were reported at
6A cents. while yard combs were
quoted at 1914 cents. with little buying
evident Print cloths of 3Sh inch,
64-60s and 80 inch 6S-72s were bid on
the market at s u and 9A cents respec-
lively. Little was done in the speciality
market. In the burlap market some de-
mand was evident. but no buying Of any
importance was noted. Sterling exchange
advanced again. tending to make the
market somewhat stronger.

Demand for Spring Brasds.

Although the strike In the cloak and
suit industry Is creating some uncer-
taiuty as to sprsux designs manufac-
turers OF braid report active buying for
immediate delivery and with some in
quiries being mad" as to spring. The
tendency for spring braids appears to
be centring toward the plain and radium
effects, In the cire and embossed ef-
fects. Foreign reports indicate q, like
tendency. Considerable shortage of ar
tificial silk for the manufacture of braid
Is being felt in the trade. due to the in
creased amount being used by the knit
ted wear manufacturers. Prices. how
ever. have not been affected. No radical
changes In color effects are expected to
develop for spring wear In this line.

 For Inspection Of 4. [. Co. Holdings

The arrival in the district this week of a group of prominent officials Of Phelps Dodge Corporation and Phelps Dodge Mercantile Co.,, who are here in connection with the negotiations for the sale of the holdings of The Arizona Go. Ltd, to Phelps Dodge Corporation, adds weight to the cur rent belief that the negotiations have been practically completed. and that the day is near at hand when the offf- cial announcement will be forthcom- ing that Phelps Dodge Corporation has assumed full charge of all opera tions
 On Wednesday afternoon there ar rived in Clifton Messrs John McNair. Comptroller of Phelps Dodge Corpora ton, whose office is at 99 John St., New York City; w. K. Flora, of New York, Assistant Secretary; H. NJ. Gallagher, auditor, with headquarters in Douglas; w. A. Meyer, General Manager of Phelps Dodge Mercantile O., at Bisbee, and O. w.

 The opinion is general that at an early date following the transfer ,s i the holdings to one management work
 will be started on a new concent-ator,
 which in addition to the present Con.
 centrator No. 6, of the A. c. Co, will
 make possible a bigger production. T,
 is reported on good authority also that within the next few days Tor
 centrator No. which has been idle
 since the shutdown in May. will be started up on small scale, about
 25fo of it's full capacity and that with
 Tn sixty days it will be running again on 5o26 capacity. The transfer ot ehE electric light and power plant iron the A. c. Co power house in Ciiftor
 to the Phelps Dodge power house al

CELEBRATION AT CASA PRANDE-

Invitations have been received from the San Carlos Association by the Chambers of Commerce of Duncan and Clifton requesting that they send delegates to the big San Carlos Day Celebration to be held this year at Casa Grande on August 18th. The invitation reads in part as follows:
 You folks are vitally interested in the San Carlos, as this project now contemplates not only the construc- tion of the San Carlos Dam but also the construction of reservoirs on the Upper Gila and San Francisco Rivers as sluicing reservoirs for the San Carlos. These upper reservoirs will provide your valley with storage as well as security against the damag ing floods of the Gila, and we sincere ly trust that you will be fully repre- sented at our meeting.'

 Governor Campbell has stated . said the State Engineer, that if the State Department, with the co-opera- tion of the Board of Supervisors and County Highway Commission of Greenlee county, can finance the con- struction of the Mule Creek Link through to a New Mexico connection, and that such a connection will be useful to the people in this section, for the state Highway Department to go ahead.
 In this connection the State En- gineer stated that Governor Campbell had sent letter to the Governor of i New Mexico inQuiring regarding New Mexico state and county funds which 1 would be made available for that DOT ! tion of the road lying in New Mexico
 MT. Maddock has been away from
 the state capital for the past ten days during which time the movement fol calling a special session of the Les islature has been inaugurated. The
 state engineer pointed out that includ i ing the appropriation carried under l the Omnibus Road Bill that the
 amount of the road levy for the next | two fiscal years would be less by l twenty per cent as compared with the | preceding two years. A repeal of the ! road appropriations by special ses j sion would simply mean a suspension
 of all road construction at present un ! der way in the state and the state | highway department would only have i a small fund remaining for mainten 1 ance work
 ! MT. Maddock was accompanied by ! Mrs. Maddock on the trip to this sec ! tion of the state. They left Wednesday morning for Phoenix via Stafford ant i Globe.
 A carload of government powder I has been ordered shipped to Clifton
 to be used in the construction of the ] Mule Creek link and should arrive here within the next week or ter
 days. Trench covers allotted to tho
