Chinese Cotton Output Gaining

within recent years there has been
rapid increase in the quantity Of
raw cotton produced by the various
districts in Chilli. the total production
OF raw cotton in 1921 showing an in
crease Of about 20 per cent over the
output in 1920. Cotton Of both Chinese
and American species is cultivated in
the province. or the Chinese species
there are the dark seed and the white
seed varieties, and Of tho American
species, the long FIBER and colder FIBER
In such districts as chienhsiep the soil
is especially adapted to the cultivation
Of American cotton, while in other
parts Of the province both the Chinese
and American species can be grown
with equally encouraging results. ~
Snnkow there is a cotton experimental
station and cotton planters association.
Tho output in this district during 1872
amounted 20 10000 piculs "a pieul

Woolens

The opening Of spring, 1923, lines OF
mems wear woolcns and worstcds by
the American Wooden Company to-day
will clear the price uncertainty 10 a
great extent. The offerings OF the
American, which is admittedly the
market leader. are larger In vnriety
than many expected. II was thought
that the big concern would test out
the market with tropical worstcds and
serges only, but tho initial Offering
includes some stable and fancy wor-
steds and woolens, In addition 10 the
tropical goods.
Pending tho American opening, bust
ness in spring goods that have been
offered 20 far was slight. a few lines
Of tropicals have been shown quietly
and some business has been booked on
them.
Dress goods FOR fall have improved
in demand and jobbers report better
prices than have prevailed for some
time.

been based on n solid foundation.
In the textile markets the advances
in raw materials. which had become
somewhat alarming. appear 10 have
been checked. Cotton fluctuated within
narrow limits compared 10 recent
weeks. Raw wool was slightly easier
and raw silk showed n fair decline.
There is little in the raw material sit
uation, however, TO indicate much lower
prices in that division according 20
competent observers.
In finished goods advances are be-
coming more common. Underwear for
the new season is being offered AZ
slight advances. The spring 1923
wooden cloth market will be opened to-
day by the American Wooden Company,
and 10 is generally believed that prices
will be higher. Slow progress Is be-
ing made In bringing finished silk
prices up 20 the basis OF raw material,
but manufacturers arc encouraged by
the continually broadening demand for
finished goods.
Distribution at retail continues In
large volume, induced, however, by
price cutting, which apparently has
brought the level Of retail prices 70
the lowest point seen In years. In
fact, retail prices in many cases arc
now far below the level indicated by
wholesale prices. II the expected nd
vances In the Wholesale market 10
through. II Is evident that consumers
will be asked 90 pay more for many
lines Of merchandise within tho next
three or four months. Just what the
consumer attitude 20 advancing prices
will be Is question that is frequently
debated In business circles. With more
employment and good returns from
this years crops, however, II seems
likely that the consumer will be better
able TO pay advanced prices in the
fall than he was to pay the prices that
prevailed year ago.

Apparel

Some progress in swinging into the
fall season In women's apparel was re-
ported last week Practically all the
manufacturer here are showing their
fall models now Retailers have not
rushed into the market 20 buy. but have
placed some fair orders. both in the
show rooms and with statesmen on the
rohd. The garment manufacturers are
beginning TO worry about the advanc-
ing prices Of woolons azd silks. and in
some quarters il is limited that apparel
prices may be advanced before the

Cottons

The cotton goods market was gen
orally quiet last week Some lines Of
knitted underwear for spring were
opened in the week. Price irregularity
was noticeable, some lines being priced
az last years levels. while others
showed slight advances. There was
little actual buying.
In piece goods hesitation Is still the
dominant feature Of the markets.
Gray goods remained fairly firm for
the week, although some concessions
in prices by second hand holders took
place late in the week. Finished goods
we're quiet. Some lines Of wash good,
for next spring will be shown this
week when the dress goods jobbers

Prices during the last week were
steady with stronger uniertone.

Liquor Charges Fill Jail;
New One Recommended

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 5.-Prohibition
laws, which promised back il 1915 to
clean out every jail in Virginia" have
almost put the Norfolk Jail out OF
business but not in the way the prohi-
bitionists promised.
Violators Of the liquor laws have
nearly worn out the city Jail, and a
special committee of two men and one
woman, appointed by city council to
investigate conditions today recon-
mended that a new Jail be built az
once. Conditions in the city prison
we're described in some detail as rather
appalling. There were no evidences
of cruelty, but facilities of the jail, the
committee found, were in such a
serious state Of disrepair it would cost
less to build new jail than to pus
the old one in shape.
Over 800 prisoners were IN the jail
when the committee visited 1t, al
though the capacity of the structure
has been fixed at $50.
From one-third to one-halt OF
these prisoners have been sent there

Will Ask For Changes
.e,a In New Tariff Bill
(By United Press

Washington, Oct. 5.-"Cripples"
in industry will ask Congress for
changes in the new tariff law at the
next session, John H. Kirby, presi-
dent of the Southern Tariff associa-
ton, said here today.
Changes to be sought will be de-
cided on at a two-day tariff congress
here Friday and Saturday. Southern
industries will be generally rep
resented.
1--WE will take an inventory of the
effect of the Fordney- McCumber law,
said Kirby, particularly as to the
South, and if the rate given is sui
ficient, then we want to arrange to
defend it against attacks that may
be made before the tariff commission.
IF rates given are not workable,
then we want to get what relief we
can. We have especially invited the
'cripples' or those that did not re-
ceive adequate duties, to be prepared
to present their situation to Con-
gress."

Maryland and Pennsylvania
Join to Fight Forest Fire

Cumberland, Oct 5.-The Maryland
and Pennsylvania forest fre-fghting
forces have joined in combating one
of the largest and most stubborn fires
in years. reaching from the Pennsyl-
vania line to Wills Mountain, in the
Little Valley road, near the Cumber-
land city limits.
The fire is tlamed on wilful IN
cendiarism of hunters and young men
roaming the woods, which are eXces-
sively dry from the long drouth. The
pail of smoke over Cumberland IS so
heavy that the outline of the sur
rounding mountains is almost OBJ
scured. Much valuable timber has
been destroyed, including stacks OF
lumber and cordwood that had been
prepared for msrket.
