SALES IMPROVING !
=. IN COTTON CLOTH
Low Point for Textile Mills
Passed-Goods Moving
Much More Rapidly.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ="
NEW YORK, August There are
unmistakable signs of Improvement
in the textile situation in evidence
today. This is entirely apart from
the Government report which will be
made public on Friday, and which
will cover the period up to July /.
Aside from the dispute which the
compilation of the Government
figures always inaugurates. both
producers and consumers realize that
the cotton crop this year is largely
question OF weather. at least
throughout the month of August.
The Improvement is based largely
on a better understanding between
retailers and their customers and
the jobbers and manufacturers, Cur
tailment of the production of cotton
goods since January / has been
heavy. 1t now would seem, on care
full investigation, that consumption
Retailers have been selling goods
without replenishlng stocks. Now
they are commencing to come into
the market.
Low Point Passed in June.
There is little doubt expressed that
the low point of production and price
both we're reached in June. What
ever the weather may do to the
amounting to 2,3ls, 900 bales, accord
ing to Secretary Hester of the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange. are con-
vincins in that they show a decided
drop from the carryover of 1923.
Northern mill stocks of cotton have
been reduced $4,000 bales and South.
erD mill Slnrka ann hoI Iav car,-
pared with last year, and 1t is notable
that foreign mill and port stocks
have increased, as compared with
1928. The foreign manufacturers are
CONVINCED that early purchases were
advantageous from the price view
point.
The movement of cotton manufac-
turers from New England to the
South has continued unabated, bu,
there has also been a movement OF
plants from the South and a concen-
tration of production in the North.
Mills Change Methods.
For example, the American Printing
Company of Fall River has acquired
100 acres in kingsport, Tenn, and
awarded contracts for two factory
buildings equipped with 100000 spin :
dies. Most of the machinery for these

other hand. the Taubel Scott Com
pany OF Reading, Pa. the largest
hosiery manufacturers in this coun-
try, have reorganized and determined
to sell their plants at Lenoir City
Cleveland and Morristown, Tenn.
Such moves indicate a more careful
selection of goods produced as well
as desire to seek localities close
to supplies and markets. Experts say
frankly that inability TO adjust their
production to present conditions is re-
sponsible. for many OF the troubles OF
the cotton textile manufacturers. The
latter are charged with .ryirg to
tell the public what it wants instead
of making what the public wants
This attitude is outlined by several
manufacturers who said their firms
had made the same kind of goods for
years and would continue to do so
They have continued to make the
goods, but have not continued to sell
them:

Price Secrets Hurt Trade.

Experts also blame the Indifference
of the buying public to some extent
to the attitude of mill agents aud
other factors. An executive of one of
the largest textile firms in America
declared over a year ago, when asked
for quotations on gray goods, that
such quotations should never be pub
lished except in trade papers, since
the spread between the price the job
Der paid and the price charged the ul-
innate consumer would lead TO
wrong impression. He added that he
strongly advocated the bringing of
pressure TO bear to prevent a great
metropolitan newspaper from getting
or printing such quotations. Instead
of explaining the spread in price to
the public some agents attempted to
conceal it. and this, IL is charged, re-
suited in a decided lack of confidence
on the part of the final consumer.
The situation in cotton textiles now
has bt.'fi made fairly clear and as
result there has been respufiss on
the part of the public which has shot
the sales of cotton at Fall River and
other markets up to SIX or seven
times what they were month ago.
