New York, January 22.-Cotton goods buying has continued quite steady, although not so broadly active in the gray goods division as week ago. Mills are being restarted In full and a number of important sales have been large enough in some in- stances to assure a full output for the next 90 days. Printers are un- willing to pay higher than 10 per cent advance above the low point and con iverters hesitate to make further en- agreements at the higher values until a larger demand develops. While tie volume of business has been done on print cloths and fine convertibles in the gray cloth divisions, there has been very substantial business placed aon bleached cottons, ginghams and miscellaneous lines of colored cottons. Several of the leading lines have been withdrawn from sale to await fur ther developme ents at the distributing end of the market. There has been a 'verters of tailors' Things. and for gem eral manufacturering purposes.

SWEDEN IS FACING
 INDUSTRIAL CRISIS
By Associated Press

Stockholm, January 22.-Sweden, Ike the United States, is undergoing pe- riod of economic readjustment involving the closing down of factories and reouc- tion of wages in an effort to cut the cost of production.
 Swedish manufacturers declare they are compelled to do this in order to place their manufactOrieS on level which will enable them to compete with German American and English production. Many of the factories and mechanical lines be- gan in December to dismiss their workers gradually by laying off 10 to 20 per cent of them weekly. When the employees n- quired why this was done they were in- formed that the scale of wages averag- ing the equivalent of $4 40 day at the present rates of exchange must be cut. They were told that unless they accepted such reduction the shop would be closed.
 In most cases the workmen refused, and the factories were shut down for part of this month"; but a reaction against this policy became noticeable before the beginning of the new year. New agree ments between employers and workers us- ually are made in many lines at the be- ginning of the year. This time there was collision of the workmen's demands for higher wages with the employers an nouncement that they would have to be cut N
 Swedish employers now have no fear of strikes. but, on the contrary. say they would welcome them because of lack of orders and dull prospects which seem to be likely to result in further dismissais of thousands of workmen. Attempt on the part of America to exclude or reduce the number of immigrants is reported to have had an influence in producing conciliatory frame of mind among the workmen Heretofore the Swedish work CT has had America to fall back on m case of labor troubles at home. Now he is beginning to doubt whether he wiif continue to enjoy this opportunity to emi- grate

 New York, January 22. - Steel has been dull and easy, reflecting a con- tinued shrinkage of new business. In few instances independent compa- nies have shown a disposition to shade prices below the steel corporation levels. Production by independents is running light, while the big plants are operating at 90 per cent of capacity or better
 Pig iron remains slow and weak
 Consumers are well supplied and in some cases have stocks to sell. Pro- duction is light, as many furnaces are idle. Copper has been a shade high CT. Port demand continues, but domes- tic consumption does not broaden, which fact, with unfavorable trade re- ports unsettled sentiment Larger pro- ducers are said to be accepting orders at 13 cents for first quarter. but this figure might be shaded for prompt shipment Increased inquiries have been reported from Switzerland and the far east, the latter attributed part ly to Japanese agents for China A small sale of sheets also was reported to Italy, being the first of the kind in some time.
 Completed official figures show i'm ports of 3S,291 ,000 pounds for Novem- Der and exports of 38,619,000. Accord : ing to the copper export association the production of refined copper in the united States during 1920 was 1.670. fes'oo0 pounds or nearly 9SS000, 900 more than the preliminary estimate of the geological survey recently pub lished.

ITALIAN IS OPTIMISTIC
Present World Wide Depression I.
 Natural Result
By Associ..ted Pres,

Rome, January 22.-Business depression in Italy is characterized by Signor Oii- vett q deputy in Parliament and an in- dustrial and economic expert, as part of "a world crisis" He attributes this situation not only in Italy but in France, England and America. to the restriction of consumption and to limitation of money. He expresses the opinion that all countries must pass through this condi- tion in order to attain economic recon struction. Signor Olivett sees an en- couraging sign in the fact that strikes and labor agitations are becoming less frequent and less serious in Italy. He says this indicates that the working men realize the difficulties through which all industries are passing. Nevertheless un- employment is characterized as grave and increasing. -r=ss
