 Cotton yarn prices this week were virtually unchanged, although spin ners' asking prices have again stiff fened a trifle. Yarn dealers refer to the stiff attitude of many of the spin Eers as "wishbone' stuff" Expe- rienced traders believe the degree of yarn demand will be the chief de- values during the next month or six weeks. The spinners evidently base their price views on cotton alone.
 Comparatively few orders and in quiries have come tG hand. The holiday is said to be partly respon- three of the orders booked this month have called for delivery within 60 days, according to reliable esti- mate made in Philadelphia. Most of this business has been spot. Only about one out of every four orders taken in this period has called for July delivery. Less than 10 per cent of the business booked since May has involved August delivery or be- yond Recently the ratio of orders calling for July delivery has de- creased. Parn stocks in dealers hands have accumulated gradually, but steadily during the last month A disinterested authority states that cotton yarn stocks in the Philadel- phia market are moderately heavy"
 During this period the majority of the southern spinners have been in creasing the supply of stock yarns. The market has received almost no reports of curtailment in the south among spinners of sale yarns. In the meantime, although the yarn sup plies tn hand in consuming mills in Philadelphia are said to be only mod crate in quantity, such an important yarn-consuming factor as the towel mills are now running at about 65 per cent of their capacity, and other con- suming mills are putting less yarn into consumption than they did In April, and heretofore.
 The outlook at present appears to be for decreasing rather than in- creasing activity among yarn con- suming mills in Philadelphia during the next month or two. The follow ing chart shows the price trend:
