Break in Cotton
On Crop Reports
After Early Rise
Failure of Weather Review to
Show Expected Detcriora-
ton Causes Liquidation;
AT Lowest of Movement

Complaints of too much rain in East
ern and Central sections of the belt
caused early advances in the cotton
market, but there was no general or
aggressive buying and prices broke
sharply during the afternoon. Evil
IDENTIFY the weekly crop review of the
Weather Bureau was a disappointment
to recent buyers, and liquidation was
heavy on the decline, which carried a
tive months to the lowest prices
touched since the publication of end of
July crop figures. December contracts
sold off from 1880 to 1916 and closed
at 1919, with the general market clos
ing steady at net decline Of 81 to "a
points.
Liverpool reported continued dull
ness but prices there were little
steadier. Local traders seemed to eX-
pect bullish weekly report from the
in succession this failed to show the
anticipated deterioration, and selling
was active during the afternoon, with
prices showing net losses of 20 to 25
points in the late trading.
Reports that tho demand for cotton
was slowing up owing to the recent adj
vance in prices and the unsettled rul-
ing of raw material markets may have
contributed to the decline. There was
also comment on the unsettled ruling
of foreign exchange as likely to opcr-
ate against export demand. but local
brokers were more inclined to attrib.
ute liquidation to the failure Of recent
bullish crop reports to stimulate trade
demand than to any special feature in
the days news.
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were unchanged to rs points
lower.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 20 points lower at 1890 for
middling. No sales were reported.

Silks Still Dull
Price Deadlock On Between
BUYERS and Sellers

With few exceptions, silk manufac-
turers report current business as dull
lock between buyers and sellers on
the subject of price still obtains, but
despite the holding off attitude Of the
buyers prices have remained rirm. The
manufacturers believe that stocks of
silk goods throughout the country are
low and that replenishment will be
necessary within another month at
the latest.
The dullness in the finished goods
market is reflected in the raw silk
market, where buying is confined to
small lots for immediate use mostly.
Long term contracts are avoided
After some activity the Yokohama
market the principal raw silk center,
has relapsed into dullnesI

Heavier Cottons Wanted

The noticeable trend in silks for
opaque materials for women's dresses
is affecting the cotton goods markets
to a great extent. One Of the leading
British cotton goods selling agents in
this country has stated that his
spring, 1922, line of dress cottons will
be composed largely of heavy crepes
and similar heavy materials. What
buying of wash fabrics that has taken
place in the primary markets for next
spring has been centered mostly on
the heavier fabrics. The sheer tissues
and voiles have been in slight demand,
according to most reports.
