Prices have been shaded in some eases and some of the independent companies have made further readjustments in their wage scales to reduce costs.

Weekly Cotton Review

New York, June ls.-A weak and unsettled raw cotton market inten- sified the seasonable quiet trad ing period in cotton goods. Southern colored cottons were offered out at lcwer figures to stimulate buying, the concessions ranging from 7h to 10 per cent At the same time, Southern dress ginghams were offer ed for spring, October March deliY- eI ies, subject to a price to be named later and to allotment upon the re- ceipt of all orders and dependent up on the ability of mills to make the deliveries asked. Print cloths were quieter with some few offerings at slight concessions. Sheetlngs were very quiet as a rule, save on few constructions that are well sold through July.
 More business was done in fine ccmbed yarn goods than in some time, the market being pretty well clean- ed up of spots. Some fancy business in fine and medium yarns IS being ginghams, cretonnes, draperies. and bed covering materials are moving out setadily with new orders coming forward freely enough to keep pro duction about to capacity. Strikes in some southern mills. and further dull business on New England spscialisies. together with a lessened demand for yarns for automobile purposes. have caused some increase in the volume of curtailment.
 Jobbers report a very mode crate business consisting principally of small lots for quick shipment and the booking of fair advance busi- ness for fall.

COTTON RALLIED AT START BUT DID
 NOT HOLD AT CLOSE
In Final Hour Market Was Easy, Net Unchanged to Six Points Higher on
 the Day
By Associated Pres.

New York, June lS.-Yesterday's severe break was followed by rallies in the cotton market this morning. but they were not sustained and the close was easy. net unchanged to $ points higher. The price of October contracts advanced from Il soc to 12.73c and closed at 12 o5c, compared with 12.o2c at the close yesterday and 1l.ssc yesterdays low record. ! The market opened barely steady at decline of to Is points as result of overnight selling orders. and sold about ! to Is points net lower during the first few minutes, with July touching 1.07c. or a new low record for the season.
 There was evidently disappoint- ment over the British labor news which led to liquidation by some of yesterdays buyers for a rally, but covering was active. and some trade buying developed on the decline. This caused rallies during the middle of the morning. when reports reached here that in spite of the adverse vote British coal miners were rapidly re- turning to work. and that settle ment of the strike was expected at any moment July sold up to II .42c, while December advanced from 12.42c to 12 .73c, with active months gem erally showing net gains of 20 to 23 points until we'll along in the morn ing, Just before the close, however, brokers with southwestern connec- tions became sellers, and there was renewal of scattering liquidation which sent prices off rather sharply during the last few minutes. Ac- cording to reports received here this morning operations in the Lam cashire mills will not be resumed un- til another vote of operatives had been taken by districts. A private report pointing to a reduction os 24.f5 per cent in acreage was re- garded as comparing rather bearish- ly with the reports issued toward the end of last month, but did not seem to create much fresh sentiment with reference to- the probable showing of the official figures scheduled with reference to the probable showing of the official figures scheduled for pub lication on July 2.
 Tradees found no special cause for commenting on the news from the goods trade, and the weather in the south considered generally favorable except for Nthe continued absence of rain in some eastern belt sections. Fall River sales for the week were estimated at S0,o00 pieces and cur tailment of production at 125.000.

 New Orleans, June 18.-While the trend in cotton today was toward higher levels, it was an unusual mar
 ket in the early trading and again toward the close. Heavy realizing

 cast to continue the strike, caused

 favorable views held yesterday re- garding British labor conditions, for
 a while at least. In the last trading the news that striking mill oper- atives In Lancashire had, in many cases, refused to abide by the de- cision to end their strike, caused new selling. The market finally closed
 at net advances on the day of to 12 points, with July at 10.77c.
 First trades were at lower levels and for while the selling pressure in evidence yesterday was again felt but after declines of 10 to 14 points had been reached and July had fallen to 10S1c, the market commenced to feel new buying of consequence and realizing by shorts with the re- suit that a sharp upturn came about which lasted long enough to put prices IS to 23 points over the finals of yesterday. July rising to 10.S3c. For a while the market held steady but gradually gave ground little later, receding about 10 points. flash of strength came Tn the late
 trading which carried July to .10.S4c. but other months did not make new high levels. Just on the close there was a burst of selling and the gains were pared down materially.
