Cotton Goods Trading Held Steady In Most
 of the Staple Lines
Hr Aaaonlnfed Prean

New York, November> 5.-Cotton goods markets Aave held steady throughout the week on print cloths, fine goods and most of the finished goods lines. On brown sheetings there was some recession in price on Night trading. The mills arc still very we'll occupied on orders that will carry most of them through this month. while many mills making ool- ored cottons, wide sheetings. and some other lines have work enough in hand to keep them employed throughout tho winter. Jobbers are doing quiet house trade In small lots for prompt shipment.
 Business has been good in certain lines for advance delivery, some of the finer lines of novelty wash goods now being comfortably sold ahead to retailers. It is expected that new prices will soon be named on per- cales to bring them in line with ad- vances previously made in gray cloths Printers have work enough in hand to prevent accumulations this year The finishers of cotton fabrics are running nearer capacity than at any time this year. Improvement of positive character has occurred In hosiery and underwear mills and the seasonable fall movement has reduced secondary stocks.
 Yarns have been quiet with spin ners holding firm for any future de- livery merchandise The premiums commanded for grade cotton are wider than usual so that mills are unwilling to make concessions on contract goods.
 Prices current in primary chan nels are: Print cloths, 2S-inch, 64x 64s. 61se; 64x60s, 6ssc; 3sIz finch. e4x 64s. 9%c; brown sheetings, southern standard, 13e; denims, 2.20s. indigo. 1eMc; tiekings, S-ounce. 2sc; prints.

COTTON TRADING
 WAS RESTRICTED
 IN FRESH BUSINESS
General Market List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of One to Eight Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York. November 5.--The cot ton market was very quiet today with fluctuations narrow and ..reg- ular. With two holidays next week Tuesday and Friday-and the report of the census bureau on ginning to November h scheduled for publica- ton at the opening on Wedn esday morning. fresh business was restriSt- ed, the bulk of the trading being at- tributed to the reduction of old ao. counts. The price of January con- tracts ranged from ls.l3c to lS.29c, closing at ls.24c. with the general market closing steady at a net ad vance of 1 to 8 points.
 The market opened steady at An advance of 8 points to a decline of ! points. near months being relatively firm on reports that spot cotton was being sold out or the local stock There was 8 little southern selling, at the start and scattered liquida- ton. which sent prices about 10 I points net lower right after the call after which the market firmed up on covering for over the week end Otherwise there was very little sup port, and later fluctuations were irregular. with December from tS.30e to 1S.50c and March from 1S.07c to 18.22c. Last prices were within or points of the mest-on most deliveries. Weekend reviews of the goods sit- uation attracted no special comment but there was probably some selling on reports that Lancashire spinners might discuss a renewal of organ iyed short time should business fail to improve in the near future. Ru- mors that a prominent authority esti- mated the amount of cotton to be ginned after November 1 at 100000 bales were denied, and traders found little or nothing in the news to throw any fresh light on the probable show Ing of next weeks census report.
 Washington advices reported the poration at the port of Danzig, which is designed to handle American cot ton consigned for sale to European spinners, particularly in Poland, which is said to be consuming about 10000 bales of cotton per month. Ac- cording to these advices. it is believed that Russia cannot be considered as a producer of cotton for 10 years ct least, and that Polish mills which formerly used Russian cotton must rely more entirely upon America for supplies. Cotton on shipboard await ing clearance at the end of the week. 167.o00. against 162,0o0 last year.

Shift From Stocks to Bonds Market
 Wall Street Feature
By Aasocinfed Press

New York. November 5.-Lower re- discount rates posted by federal re- serve banks-in some cases pre-war levels-impeiled a remarkable change in the securities markets this week = a shift of operations of stocks to bonds
 These significant signs of relaxed credit conditions were not entirely of domestic origin, as evidenced by the reduction of the Bank of England rate and that of the Danish National bank. The one deduction drawn in responsible financial quarters from these developments was that defla- tion in this country at least finally had fallen to level which permit ted freer use of funds sor consecu- tive purposes.
 This theory was offset in a meas ure, however, by complaints emanat- ing from mercantile interests that time money remained firm and almost unobtainable save for the shorter ma- turtles.
 Purchases of bonds were most ex- tensive in the United States war is- sues. particularly the various Liberty As and both issues of Victory notes. Extreme advances of 1 to fully 8 points In these securities with Vic- tory fH At par exercised a strong sentimental effect
 Many foreign bonds underwrltten for war expenditures, notably French and Belgian issues, partici- pated substantially in the advance. Domestic railway and industrial bonds were only moderately respon- sive. although strong in the main.
 Stock market operations called for little detailed comment Tho turn- over was fairly large and diversified, but net results were unimportant, ex- cept among shares susceptible to spe- cial influences or under pool control.
 While leading foreign exchanges moved within narrow limits. further severe depreciation of German marks and almost all other remittances to central and eastern Europe revived rumors of impending financial and other economic establishments in those countries.

LIBERTY GROUP FORMED MAJORITY
 OF THE TRADING
Clearing House Weekly State ment Failed to Disclose Any Marked Changes From
 November First
By Associated Press

New 1ork, November 5.-Dniteu States government bonds as repre- scented by the Liberty group aga-in contributed notably to the trading of the stock exchange today. Four of those issues made new high prices Of the year.
 At the maximum quotations of 95.5O the S1zs showed a gain of loo points, while the second, thiId and fourth 4A s were 3s to 56 points high CT. Some foreign war issues also hardened. but domestic ralls and in- dustrials reflected the dIliness of shares of that character. Total sales, par value, ss.s50,o00.
 Business in stocks was perfunctory, the several contrary movements de- noting little more than the customary weekend settlement of speculative contracts. High grade oils were in clined to strengthen, but luntor oils reacted under pressure, directed mainly against the Union Oil.
 Steels, equipments and coppers and kindred stocks lost l to 2 points and trading in rails fell to lowest ebb of the week, number of active trans- portations remaining unquoted through the session.
 German marks. collapsed to the new low price of 39A cents, with concur rent weakness In rates to Austria and Hungary. The more important for. eign exchanges ignored this condi- tion, however, British bills especially showing decided activity and strength.
 The clearing house weekly state. ment failed to disclose any marked changes from November l transfer from funds. Actual loans and dis counts showed the relatively nominal increase of 45,S36.00 and a cash con- traction of s3.4l2,ooO reduced excess reserves to about $12.O00. 900.

Metal Market Shows Improvement 0 J e r Last Week as q Whole
By Associated Prsss

New York. November 5.--The steel
 market is irregulars both In relation
 to prices and to demand. Reports on October sales show a moderate ex- paneion, which was believed to have been caused partly by fears 9f a rail strike. This demand has now fallen eff and there is a disposition to await
 reductions in rail freights. There is a fair business, however, in the light
 CT products. which are steady, while heavy weights are quiet and easy
 with some pressure to sell. Pig iron is quieter, as the recent buying ap-
 pears to have filled requirements for
 the time being, and buyers arc TOW awaiting developments regarding
 freight rates. Prices are barely
 steady and unchanged.
 In copper, there has been some
 what improved demand Buyers for
 domestic consumption have been
 little more active, either as result
 of betterments in their trade condi- tions. or increased confidence in prices because of a strengthening sta
 tistical position The unsettled rul- ing of European exchange rates has
 probably restricted export business, but some further sales have been re-
 ported, particularly for shipment to Germany and France. Deliveries into scmestic consumption last month
 were estimated at about SO.000,00o
 pounds. Leading producers are frra- ly maintaining their quotations or 10 to 1874 for nearby and forward de- liveries of electrolytic. Tin has
 shown little change. Visible supply figures were bearish and general de-
 mand light. but the reduction in the
 English bank date gave better tone af the close of the week.
 Lead was quiet. Stocks both here and abroad are light and demand on l the whole Is satisfactory.
 l Zinc is held higher, checking de- mand somewhat. Galvanizers have made inquiries for early shipment. and the ore market Is reported strong I with a good demand and no extension of smelting operations.

 easy, owing to expected arrivals
