There are a number or instances,
taking gray goods as a whole. where
mills are finishing up contracts on
their books and while not concerned
about mediate additional business
are Interested in listening to any
propositions that may develop. There
have been rumors of fair business
in voiles during the week at in
side" prices.
Sheetings and print cloths have
been quiet. 1t can be safely said
that the gray cloth market Is fea-
turelesss
There was fair business last week
in bleached pajama checks for ath
letic underwear purposes. 1t is evil
dent that this business was rather
general. There were reports of little
better inquiry for bleached muslins
and some printed goods. However,
late in the week when cotton broke,
following the government condition
report, interest quieted down again
and now continues quiet.
Few New Phases.
There have been very few new
phases in the market for finished
goods. 1t is hoped that the warm
weather will do something to stir ac-
tivity. Jobbers are going to the mar
ket for wash goods for their June
clearance sales Several road men,
who have just returned to- New York,
say that some of the wholesalers
have made big sacrifices in clearing
out stocks of printed Egyptian voiles
and other goods of this character
Several of the large converters, who
put a great deal of money into the
printing of ratines to Egyptian pat
terms, are understood to have taken
some big losses.
One of the best known lines of It's
sues has been opened and good bust
ness has been reported. This line,
however, is not considered a critic
has an excellent reputation for styl-
ing and always in demand.

The Fairchild Cotton Goods Aver
age Price and Index Number for the
week ended June 2, is 1896. new
low for this year--the same as the
average price for the week ended
Dec. 80, 1922. With finished goods
prices revised to a relative basis with
gray cloths, the cloth market would
be shown to be at least on the level
of early last December. The nomi-
nal prices for finised goods continue
to be carried in figuring the index
number, pending such time when
agents see fit to make revisions.

trend of the index number for the

with a noted Increase in tho IN

are not lacking that in the near flu
ture there Will be a renewal of trad
ing, following a period of watchful
policy by the mill men. The re-

has given rise to the belief that
there will have to be a rise in the

Small lots. classed as bargains,
have again been sold. There is a dis
position to carry over the old crop
until the fall rather than dispose of
it at current levels. Some activity
has been noted in the new crop,
with a few Of the mill men prepar-
ing to take care of autumn orders
and others buying for fall shipment

Underlying Condition

NEW YORK, June 9.-Continued heavy
production of teel and less active new
demand. with the exception of rails, has
given the market a somewhat easier APP
pearance, as producers are catching up on
the orders. Old business the books Is
of very liberal proportions however, and
there are evidences that many of the
construction projects are being only de-
layed and not abandoned, underlying CON

Copper steady; moderate improvement

few days. helping the tone of the mar
ket. Demand for domestic consumption.
however, has remained quiet. although
there Is little more demand 0ported for
the third quarter. Producers are evidently
waiting for this demand to develop more
rapidly and with offerings from second
hands tight prices have been steadily held
at around the 15c level. According to re-
copper during March were approximately
100000 pounds. against 3s6oo.ooo In
February.

LEONARD WOOD AGAIN
GOES THROUGH STORM
Generals Yatch Caught In Typhoon
Off PhilinDine Coast

MANILA, June 9-(By Associated
Press --Governor General Leonard
Wood today had his second expert
ence as a typhoon victim when his
yacht was caught in Manila harbor
by a storm and thrown high on a
submerged breakwater. In May
1922, while aboard the same vessel
he was driven to seek safety from
a typhoon in one of the unfrequented
island harbors. AT that time fears
were felt for his safety.
Today the governor general had
just boarded the yacht for an in
spection trip to the leper colony at
Culion Island when the typhoon sud
denly whipped up the little craft and
hurled her ON to the sunken break
water No damage was done and no
one was injured. Later tugs pulled
tine craft into deep water and she
proceeded on her voyage to Culion
with the official inspection party.

EARLY DECLINES
IN COTTON PRICE

NEW YORK, June 9.-Early de-
clines In the cotton market as a re-
suit OF weekend realizing were fol-
lowed by sharp rallies on renewed
covering, accompanied by rumors of
bullish private figures on domestic
mill consumption for the month of
May. October advanced from 1898
to 24.45 and closed at 24.4o, with the
general market closing very steady
at net advances OF Is to 80 points.
Trading In July was less active than
for the past two or three days. The
demand for that position seemed a
little less urgent and there was a re-
duction of about 10 points In its pre-
MUM over October.
The market opened easy at an
advance of l point on July, but gem
orally IL to 16 points lower under
profit taking and scattered southern
selling. Except for the rains in OK
lahoma the weather map was cons1d-
cred favorable and there was consid-
cradle cotton for sale during the
middle of the morning. with July
easing Oft to 27.35 and December to
1885, making net declines of about
Is to 81 points. Offerings were pref
ty we'll absorbed around these figures
apparently. and the market turned
firmer late in the morning on COW
ering by recent sellers who appeared
to be influenced by reports that do
mestic consumption for May would
probably equal the April figures.
Owing to numerous reports of NILS
curtailment, the trade has expected
a sharp falling off in the consumption
for May, and while no definite figures
were mentioned this morning, the
talk of bullish showing evidently
had some effect on the market. Ihe
census report on consumption for
last month will not be issued until
next Thursday. There were reports
of beneficial rains in Texas and else
where, except for Oklahoma only
scattering showers were noteu.
Weed-end reviews of the goods trade
indicated some improvement in retail
business, but continued dizziness IN

ment was expected Manchester ad-

EFFECT ON CLOTH
Progress Of Market Has Been
Beset With Many Diff
fjCuItieS

NEW YORK, June 9.-(Special)-
The progress Of the cotton goods
market has been beset with many
difficulties. Following a period of
about two months of inactivity and
adjustment of prices to lower basis,
there Started to develop, about three
weeks ago. more interest in goods.
In spite of the backward weather
and the stories that jobbers were
doing less than their normal business,
there was always some movement of
merchandise, however small; and
there were goods to be bought.
Prices on a number of gray cloth
styles were considered satisfactory,
and some other constructions were
outwardly qualified by buyers as
being cheap. Cotton had been gain
ing gradually. with cloth prices re-
naming stationary, which made the
latter. lock even better. Some con-
verters were ready to make pur-
more encouragement Others, in
spite Of the relation between cotton
and certain cloths, refused to be in7
terested. They wanted but one in
centive for gray goods operating
namely, some respectable business In
finished goods. Cotton reports and
forecasts, and figures showing how
numerous styles were under replace
ment. meant nothing to them.
This latter class happened TO COM
prise a rather formidable element.
But there were indications that even
some Of these would take on few
goods. There was more interest in
bleached gods. and in some other.
lines of finished goods. Nothing was
aaxable, but it was an improvement.
But the break in cotton last week,
following the first crop condition re-
port Of the season by the govern
ment, had the effect OF unsettling
many. and producing setback.
Many gray cloth prices eased. and
some mills eased up on their policy,
although there were no reports of Of
fering concessions outright.
Market. Marking Time.
Tht gray ufiishned goods markets
are marking time. Trading is rather
light. and prices in number of in
stances are easier. There had been
indications of a growing confidence
and Willingness to take on some
goods, prior to the government re-
port, but after cotton broke on the
receipt Of the Washington informa-
tion, the attitude of the trade again
became waiting one.
Sateens have been offered at some
further slight concessions Some
mills are seeking business in drills
and willing to listen to propositions.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES


NEW ORLEANS. June e.-After a
period of hesitation in the early PERIOD
today during which fluctuations ranged
from advance to small Declines the GOV
ton market turned very strong on ouillsn
rumors in connection with consumption IN
this country and fear that rains IN tne
west over Sunday would extend into tho
eastern belt, where moisture Is the last
thing wanted in most sections IN tne
late trading the market was at Its high
est at net gains of "a to 30 points whiie
the close was "a to 30 points net higher
on the day. July rose to 27.9Sc and closed
at range of 27.94c to 27O6c; OCTOBER
rose to 23s5c and closed at range OF
23.S0c to 23.s5e.
A favorable opinion of weekend re-
views of the general business conditions
was back of general advance of to IL
points that occurred soon after the open
ing, but these small gains were soon
wiped out and replaced by decline which
finally amounted to 10 to % points, com
pared with the close of yesterday. July.
27.45c and October to 23.30c. This decline
was almost wholly due to official reports
of a great deal of rain over Texas. which
state has been considered in need of mois-
ture for its top sold for some time.
The tone was barely steady until well
into the session, when decided strength
was taken on, mainly because of ru-
mored private bureau estimate that Amer
lean consumption of cotton during May
was $4,000 bales. against SIT 900 in April
and $4,000 in May of last year. The ring
turned very active and the market closed
