u. S. COTTON FABRIC
MARKET ISSTRONG
D Domestic Manufacturers
Have Little to Fear From
Foreign Competition.
BY CHAs. P. sHAEFFER.


There is little likelihood that the do
nestle retail market in cotton manu-
features will suffer from foreign compe-
tition through probable disposition Of
Governmnet-owned raw cotton to Ger
many.
Such expressed fears are entirely dis
sipated by statistics of the Commerce
Department which show that markets
supplying the United States with cotton
fabrics are practically nil outside of this
country.
Consumption of these fabrics in the
domestic market ranges from eight to
nine billion yards annually, while i'm
ports from all countries of the world
will total about 10000 900 yards during
the calendar year 1881.
The textile division OF the department
says that eight years ago all cotton
fabric imports amounted TO about 22o,-
600 900 yards annually, most CT which
came from England and Switzerland.
The ability of American mills to meet
competitive prices mainly through the
production of broadcloth and similar
materials brought all imports to level
of around sc. 600 600 yards even before
the new tariff regulations went into
effect
For the first six months of 1881, under
the new tariff regulations, al cotton
fabric imports amounted to 100000
yards, while prospects for the remain
ing six months point to an even lower
figure. OF this amount Germany sup
piled approximately S25 900 yards, with
the majority or 100000 yards being in
printed, dyed. colored or woven figured
fabrics. The remainder was in bleached
goods.
Trade barometers indicate consump-
ton of cotton textiles III June was at
the highest level in more than a year,
giving due consideration to seasonal
tendencies. The statistical position of
the industry at the end Of June was the
most favorable since 1927 based on
calculations of the association of cot
ton textile merchants. Total June sales
were 1863 per cent of production, the
highest ratio since last February.
Stocks at the end Of the month showed
a decrease, and untitled orders rose 80
per cent.

OUTPUT OF AUTOS
REDUCED FURTHER
Factory Schedules Are ADJ
justed to Seasonal Decline
in Sales.
BY DAVID J. wILKIE.

DETROIT, August with many Of
the leading plants shut down for Mid
summer vacations and inventory TAX
ing, manufacturing activity In the auto
mobile industry Is at virtually its lowest
point. Some Of the plants which do not
expect to bring out new models until
near the end of the year continue opera
tions. but with few exceptions all OF
them are on curtailed schedules.
To a large extent the curtaflnent Of
output at this time Is seasonal" The
Midsummer vacations and inventury
taking. however are not. These were
inauguratsd only last year. with the
realization that the collapse Of the auto
mobile market was destined to be OF
more than just passing duration.
The industry generally has been work
ing on reduced hours for so many
months. and production has been so
wen leveled on TO retail demand, that
for time IL was expected in some guar
tiers thet the Midsummer shutdowns
could be omitted. With the slackening
OF demand. normal at this season, how
ever. and the small but perceptible In
crease In dealers stocks. il became evi-
dent that for a time even the greatly
reduced working schedules would pro-
duce more cars than could be readily
aSSinilated
Some Of the industry's leading execu-
tiVes. to whom the shutdowns are no
more desirable than they are TO the
workers, point out that II they had been
omitted in the face CT slackening retail
demand the result would have been only
TO pile up surplus that would have
necessitated shutdown possibly in Mid
winter. Unemployment for a fortnight
or longer later in the year. they explain,
would be q greater hardship than at
present.
The more or less common idea that
the automobile industry and It's execu-
ttves are following policy Of "watchful
waiting waiting for business condi-
tions to improves anything but true
conception of the attitude of the indus
try and its leaders during the adverse
conditions Of the last 90 months.
They have listened to theories as to
how long the depression would last .
have heard figures on output and retail
distribution compared with those Of pre-
yious like periods; have heard reports on
he duration OF previous business depres-
sions and have been given figures on
production economies, and then sur
prised their sales executives with In
Struetions for more intensive selling
campaigns than ever before.

Looks for Improvement.
One prominent American business
executive looks for improvement in busi-
ness before long. H. H. Timken, chair
man of the board of the Timken Roller
Bearing Co., announced yesterday that
his company has not cut wage rates
because the directors think business will
improve shortly and that such action
will be unnecessary.
This statement was issued in connec-
ton with Mr.. Timken's comment on an
order from the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which Is the largest for anti-friction
bearings that has ever been placed by
any railroad at one time. The Timken
stockholders, however. received less ia
yorable treatment. The dividend was
reduced yesterday to So. against an
annual rate of So.
End of Depression Near.
An early end of the depression is II
sight. according to H S. Wilkinson.
chairman of the board of the Crucible
Steel Co.
Commenting on the showing reported
by that company for the first half of
the current year, Mr.. Wilkinson ex-
pressed the belief that the continuance
now passing is only question Of few
months He thinks business will start
forward again soon, and that 1t will
advance from then on until normal con-
ditions are reached.
Although the preferred dividend on
Crucible Steel vas not earned, payments
were continued out OF surplus, on the
ground that the present crisis would not
last long enough TO warrant discontinue
ance and also because of the strong
financial position Of the company.
Auto Ratio Contrasts.
Due to prohibition, the United States
can point to one automobile for every
40 persons, while France, owing to the
absence of prohibition. has only one for
every "a. This is the conclusion reached
by Ernest H. Cherrington, general sec
rotary Of the World League Against
Alcoholism. Mr.. Cherrington should
have carried his study further. in which
event he might have been able to ex-
plain why Norway, which also enjoys
the benefits of prohibition, reports one
automobile for every 1l3 persons, while
Finland, another officially dry country,
has only one automobile for every $50.
