DruGoods Market
By STUART p. VEST
tCopyrlght. 1U22.D

New York, August 23-Trading
in the market for cotton goods to-
day was largely confined to spots
and September deliveries. Neither
mills nor buyers were greatly in
clined to extend their commit
ments for later deliveries although
consumers of heavyweight goods
including ducks took fair amounts
for delivery this fall. Prices for
print cloths were very firm, re-
fleeing the strong opening of the
raw cotton market and prices for
64x60's, 6Sx72's were well main
tanned. Sheetings were more ir-
regular and demand for twills and
sateens was light.
Shading of prices was not in evil
dence in the silk market and quo
tations were firm on a fair volume
of business.
WOOL.
Boston, August 23.-The wool
market was somewhat inactive to-
day and is not expected to show
much revival of trading until aft
er Labor Day. Medium woods and
three-eighths blood continue in
good demand with stronger prices
predicted for the latter due to
short supply. Ohio fleeces were in
active. Bargain hunters are strong
| ly in evidence but are having lit
tie success in inducing holders to
shade quotations.

The STRONG POINTS.

K Wall street took the laiIure u
the hard coal conference as bear
ish ON the anthracite stocks but
bullish ON the soft coal stocks.
ThereforefB. q o. and G. 4 .. were
strong and an active buying move
ment was launched in the Western
Maryland issues. The argument IN
favor OF the tobacco stocks. accom-
panying their further advance, was
materially that they were entitled
to sell on their investment return.
Improving trade conditions were
the hole reason back Of the rise IN
the leather stocks and the snoe
stocks. The strength OF Cosden oli
revived talk Of larger dividends.
The remarkable jump in Pullman,
like that in American Car & Foun-
dry, Tuesday. was the result OF IN
vestment absorption SO reducing
the available supply that 1t took
only Q moderate amount OF buying
to force q violent advance.
MERCANTILE MARINE.
In connection with the persistent
weakness Of Marine preferred the
statement of the president Of the
company disputing the bullish talk
of two months ago was recalled
Referring to the earnings situation
of the first six months of the year
he spoke Of it disparagingly, then
went on to say that the company
would do we'll to earn the 6 per
cent dividend. Since then a num-
Der of new liners have entered the
transatlantic service and compe-
t:tion has so increased that slash
ing of the present extremely high
passenger rates is looked for.
OTHER WEAK POINTS.
Passing of the dividend on Worth
ington Pump common had been
foreshawdowed by the drop in the
stock on previous days. There was
further immediate break this
morning Of three points, but latel
the market for the stock appeared
to be taking its cue from the reas-
surfing statement accompanying the
dividend action, that during the las
two or three months business hat
picked up considerably. Rubber
shares were rather soft. Weakness:
in Cuba Cane Sugar stocks was re
lated to the new financing, although
it has long been known that thi!
was to come. The prospect of al
additional market supply through
new financing was accountable fo
the selling in American TELEPHONY
i & Telegraph. Montana Power drop
ped off sharply when the director
met and did nothing more than de
clare the regular dividend.
