NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. %
The week in the cotton trade in all
branches has been fairly quiet. While
the mill interests have refused from
the first to allow them selves to become
alarmed over the threat of railroad
strike, insisting all the weight of ex-
listing conditions would prevent the
railroad brotherhoods from taking the
final step, the mere possibility that in
dustry might be disrupted stayed ini-
tiative.
What influence the withdrawal of the
strike order will have IN effecting the
turn for greater activity now concerns
the trade. Before the strike threat
passed some Of the more exuberant
ones held that the railroad men were
threatening to psralyze the industry
just when it was getting in stride
along normal lines. But the bulk of
the trade has not placed this impor-
tance on the strike threat. They are
more concerned about the public's atti-
tude in absorbing the increase in prices
for goods, regarded as inevitable if
cotton remains high. On the whole,
opinion IS that further recovery will
be gradual, with the possibility the
turn will not be felt generally before
the first of the year.
Transactions have been more active
in the finished goods during the week
than in raw cotton. Fall River print
cloths again lead sales. Mills have
been hesitant to contract far ahead,
and the weeks sale OF 100000 pieces.
while showing firm tone, is counted
light week. In the finer goods of
New Bedford the trade has been
spotted, with no particular features.
There has been no general change in
prices. Finished goods did not follow
the recent drop in raw cotton last
week, and prices were not Influenced
by. the advance cotton took this week.
Print cloth of 38M-inch goods, 81 by
so, which led the Fall River inquiry,
is now quoted at 9A cents, with other
grade prices corresponding
The cotton market has been very
quiet in New Bedford, with increased

South African Railway Project

It is reported that seventeen railway
bridges are to be constructed at cost
approximately of $4,000 in British
South Africa. Five 150-foot steel spans
will be required for the Vaal River
alone. 1t is also proposed to construct
200 miles of railway through the dia-
mond mining district of Griqualand
West, thus helping to link up Angra
Pequena with Delagoa Bay, securing
a west coast port 500 miles nearer to
Europe than Cape Town is.

There IS marked Improvement in
the trade between Liberia and America.
said Charles E. Cooper, new Liberian
Consul General to Liverpool, in re-
cent interview reported by "The African
World" The improvement is attrib-
uted principally to the regular steam
ship service now established between
New York and Monrovia. Low German
prices and more careful English pack
ing are items which American export
ers must bear in mind.
