NEW YORK, May 1S.-Whatever
Improvement took place in the Curb
Market prices today was confined to
The oil group, while other parts of the
list were under more or less pressure
or neglected entirely.
1t was natural to expect any re-
newed buying to make itself felt in
the oils, in view of the favorable data
relating to the outlook for the future
and the improved statistical position
of the industry
The outstanding feature of the
group was Red Bank Oil. After hav-
ing risen points Monday the price
was carried 8 points higher to a new
top for the year today when it
changed hands at IS. The demand ap-
peared to be based on expectations of

Hand.to.MOuth Buying.

1t is recognized that a habit OF re
tailers of buying in small quantities
for immediate shipment has come to
STAY. It has been most difficult for
many textile manufacturers to adjust
their minds and their plants to this
system. They now recognize, however.
that they must seek new schemes
which will turn this buying trend to
their advantage instead of allowing
it to cut their profits
1t is the producer of fine goods VINO
is in the worst position at present,
textile men say. Demand for the
coarser goods consumed in industry
can he counted on to remain fairly
stable for the next few months. Fine
goods manufacturers. therefore. are
still feeling for products which VIII
intrigue the buying appetite OF the
nublic. That is why rayon is the most
prosperous of the textile materials.

EFFICIENCY
GOAL IN TEXTILES
Manufacturers Seek Way to
Boost Profits Without
Raising Prices.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, May 18.-The cotton
textile manufacturers of the Nation
today are seeking wider margins of
profits, not through increased prices,
but through lowered costs of produc-
tion. sale and distribution.
This became evident through the
attitude of delegates gathered at At
lanta for the meeting of the American
Cotton Manufacturers Association.
In consequence it is most unlikely
that shirts, dresses and other cotton
wearing apparel worn by practically
every American citizen will be higher
In price this season
The New England cotton goods
manufacturers so far this year have
done better than in 1925, but the in
dustry there is still in a state of un-
settlement. Only IA of SO cotton mills
In Fall River, for example, will be
on a dividend basis for the second
quarter. Approximately $36S,775
will be disbursed to stockholders, but
this compares with $395,77o for the
corresponding period of last year.
Southern Mills Profit.
The southern mills have done better
in profits so far this year, but large
scale production of cotton goods has
built up unweildly stocks of goods and
production in the South for the time
being has been sharply curtailed.
Mill men say frankly that the
price Of raw cotton is not the factor
in the establishment of safe profit
margin that it, formerly was. The
weather has a tremendous effect on
cotton production and manufacturers
are not disposed to gamble on the
weather any more than is necessary.
Some manufacturers-and it is nota-
bile that they come from sections fur
thest from the raw material supply
were disposed to feel that the British
strike. the aftermath of which still
is affecting English cotton mills.
would affect raw cotton exports and
make for lower prices for the staple
Others point out that England takes
only one.third of the American ex
ports at best, that British importers
have not Cancelled any orders ana
that the effects of the strike do not
seem to be lasting.
Prospects are for a big American
cotton crop, but when all is said the
size of the crop and the price of cot
ton depend on the weather.
Statisticians who have compiled
figures extending from 1880 to date
assert there has never been very
large crop which was not followed
by a much smaller one. With the
weather such an uncertainty, manu-
facturers are turning to better mar
keting methods to strengthen thelr
position.
