COTTON RALLIES
ON NEW SUPPORT
With Short Covering Market
Is Carried Back to Near Last
Close After Drop.

A further reaction in yesterdays cot
ton market carried prices some 70 points
under Thursdays high. at which level
enough short covering and new support
developed TO promote a rally to close to
the last previous finals. The market
lost some 20 to 26 points in its first
three hours and closed fairly steady,
only TO 10 net lower. There were
enough constructive factors in yester-
Gays market that ordinarily would have
lifted prices right from the start
Against them. however, was the contin-
uation of much technical weakness.
Liverpool future prices, which were
expected to be 21 to 22 points net lower,
were IL to Is points lower, and at the
time of the local call were off 16 to Is.
A good demand for spot cotton abroad
was reported, although there was no
real demand for the actual from mills
here. Fall River sales. reported al more
than 100000 pieces, were the largest In
a long time. Prices for many lines
were * cent to 4 cent a yard higher,
and many manufacturers refused BIDS
under the market.
Bears called attention to the decreased
spinners' takings in the last week. Ac-
cording to the local Cotton Exchange,
world tal1ings of American cotton were
only 174.951 bales. in contrast to 202,156
in the corresponding 1921 week and
262.919 in the corresponding 1920 period.
The worlds visible supply Of cotton is
6,199.944 bales, in contrast to 6.2S9, ,666
a week ago and 6,799.436 year ago.
On initial sales prices were 2 to Z
points under Thursdays quotations. Di-
rectly after the call the market came
10. alA ftl.
spot house and trade support. Notices
on March were small, amounting to
seven or eight, which were promptly
stopped. Much Of the later buying in
the market was due to a rumor that
further March tenders would be confined
to small scattering lots from the South
and would not include cotton from the
present stock
The local spot market was steady. 5
points net lower, at 1880 cents for mid
olng. No sales were reported.

Changes from the selling to the buy

els. Previously values here had been
tending irregularly down grade, and at
one time May was as much as cents
under the recently attained high price
records for the season. Sales during
the decline were based largely on re-
ports of moisture in the drought region
in the Southwest and forecasts of more.
Most Of the selling. however, was in
small lots from miscellaneous sources
Tho fact that larger holders of wheat
appeared to be undisturbed by drops in
price had considerable influence in the
readiness with which the market rallied
at the finish. On the other hand. re-

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Buyers Inclined Toward Late
Seasonal Purchasing, Say
Millinery Dealers.

Millinery dealers SEQ a return to the
old normal system of buying and an
endeavor to get away from rushing the
season IN the present attitude Of buyers.
Pre-war times, when 1t was the custom
of importers to make European trips in
In June for fall fashions, are recalled.
That system has been changed sradu-
ally during the reckless spending period
of the last five years and has led to
many manufacturers anticipating styles
to obtain the major share of early
SEASONAL business. Stringent buying
has brought about inevitable reaction.
which, although 1t has its Disadvantages.
has resulted in more seasonal buying.

Confidence in sport Goods.

The writing on the wall says that un-
limited confidence for early activity in
sport garments Is rife among mems
clothing dealers. Restocking. now go
ing on. unquestionably centers in tweeds
and allied sport fabrics. The business
that has developed is said to Justify
sport fabric buying. The merchants pin
their faith to the fact that sports are
no longer confined to the man with
plenty of leisure but has extended To
every class, and this season undopbtedly
will see n rush for sport clothes from
people who never before owned suits
designed for sports.

Continued Cnn for Tan shirts.

Surprise at the continued demand for
spring shirts of tan color is generally
felt in the trade. The phenomenal sue
cess which that color has had during
the fall and the winter led many to
believe that the coming spring would
see decided reaction from the tan shirt
vogue. That confidence Of retailers as
to the continued demand for that mer-
chandise still exists is evidenced by the
number of orders being placed for fall
goods of that color. Plain whites also
are being bought in considerable quanti-
ties and the coming season undoubtedly
will see those two fabrics widely fea-
tured for summer wear White silk
shirts of better grades also are said to
he receiving the attention Of buyers.
The New York herald., 1922-02-25
Retail Shoe Trade Unsettled.

The disturbing question among
womens shoe retailers is that of public
demand in the coming spring. A promi-
rent shoe dealer. who is manufacturer
and a retailer, reports a continued strug-
gle to forestall competition in the way
Of advanced styles going on in the trade.
Customers, particularly those who buy
in higher priced and more exclusive
shops, are governed entirely in their
purchase by styles. The majority of
pend on manufacturers judgment in
designs featured every two weeks. The
so-called mania Of women for advanced
styles is said to have its due share in
causing the present retail trade depres-
sion.

Sees Way to Assist Trade.

A manufacturer of dresses sees in the
present attitude Of buyers an oppor-
tunity to establish n good trade. 1t is
pointed out that many small out of
town buyers, who come into the market
only once or twice a year. are fire.
quently out of touch with latest styles
and colors and, therefore. have to de-
pend on manufacturers judgment in
selecting their merchandise. A few
manufacturers are said to have taken
undue advantage of the situation to dis
rose of old stocks to the retailers loss.
The policy of those manufacturers has
been to establish confidence in visiting
buyers by advising the trade on con-
ditions and suggesting cuts in orders
when it has been thought that fabric
has been overplayed.

novelty JeweIrys Maintains Lead.

Novelty jewelry still maintains its
hold on the trade. The chief active
sellers are earrings. girdles and fancy
bracelets and imported merchandise Is
the center of popular favor. But only
more clever limitations of domestic manu-
facturers are active competitors OF for
cign merchandise. The price factor in
no consideration, irrespecfiwN of the kind
OF material or the amount. An importer
states that whom style or design Is
placed In the paiance against actual
value of material in piece Of jewelry
the former quality invariably will rule
in a purchasers dcision.

Gray Goods Quiet.

Trading in yesterdays local gray
goods market was confined to odd lot
buying and immediate requirements. but
prices for staple prints remained Arm
on the basis of s and Q cents respec-
lively. for 64-60s and 6S-72s. and sales
of yard sheetings were transacted at
SA cents. The speciality lines were
without feature. The local burlap mar
ket also was comparatively inactive.
Buyers were disinclined to make COM
mitments at prevailing quotations and a
few bids at prices 10 points less than
the market value were received. Heavy
weight goods were not offered freely by
holders. Prices of heavy weight and
light weight futures closed at 4.05 to
40 and $40 to $50 cents respectively.

amounted to $6.760,222, in contrast to

Better Feeling in silk Tie Trade.

Cut silk tie sales are fulfilling earlier
predictions of manufacturers who con-
sistently advocated that type of neck
wear. Early orders received for the
Easter trade are reported as of good
size, but doubt as to what summer de-
mand will be exists. It is felt that
knitted neckwear has established itself
as factor in the tie trade and will
offer serious competition to cut silk
merchandise. 1t is admitted that de-
mand for 1t has cut deeply into silk
sales. but manufa cturers hope to make
up summer losses by more extended
sales of silk ties In the fall and the win
ter, when they are Logical wearing
