The Agricultural Department pre-
dicted yesterday that the average price
of lambs in the current fed-lamb mar
keting season. December to April,
probably would be lower than in the
comparable l936-37 season.
Demand for meats and wool, the
Department said, is expected to be
weaker than year ago.
Although slaughter supplies of
sheep and lambs dropped off sharply
in November to reach the smallest for
the month since 1890, the Depart
ment said, lamb prices weakened dur
ing the month.
The average price Of good and choice
slaughter lambs at Chicago was $9.46

Department said, about 60 cents lower
than the previous month, but IS cents

REVIVAL HAILED
|NCOTTON GOODS
Textile Activity Regarded
as important Index of
General Trade.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. 21.--The current
revival in cotton goods markets is
being watched with an especially keen
interest In view of the industry's repu-
tation as a trade forecaster.
To some economists it is the most
dependable and trustworthy index to
future swings in industry. They
argue this on the basis of records
going back over the years.
Some other business students give
the highest barometric honors to GER
tain other key industries-steel among
them-but they do not deny that
cotton on several occasions in the last
Is years has been jump ahead of
the field In sliding into or emerging
from depression.
Develops Suddenly.
There has been considerable in
crease in activity in the cotton textile
markets since the first week in De-
cember. It developed suddenly after
several months of stagnation. Prices
have stiffened all along the line and
some types Of print cloths are re-
ported commanding quotations fully
" cent yard above the recent lows.
Analysts hold this expansion has
been an individual and independent
movement in still acutely depressed
market for general manufactures. And
they believe it may forecast STRINGS
toward renewed activity over the Ma
tons wholesale counters and con-
comitant revival in production.
Hope is coupled with a word of
caution, for it is recalled the cotton
industry has given few false signs
along with the many which pointed
to broad change in business trends

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-SignS Of
stabilization started to appear in the
shoe trade during the first hale of De-
cember, after it bad passed through
one of the most unsettled periods in
its history, according to survey by
Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc.
ION a rapid upward price move
ment, bolstered by mounting costs and
rising wages. the rush to place orders
drove shoe production for the first six
months of 1887 to record proportions.
When hide prices began to weaken at
midyear. and labor outbreaks subsidized,
the sudden cessation of orders pre-
cipitated decline in production that
has had few parallels for the rapidity
Of its descent.
Liquidation of inventories, how
ever, in the hands of both wholesalers
and retailers proceeded without inter-
ruption. and by December l, assort-
mentS at many stores were incomplete.
Recorders to manufacturers were re-
stricted during the fall, but were suff1-
cient to permit operations of two or
three days week at most centers.
Even though production each month
since June fell below the 1895 COM
parative, total for the 10 months of
1887 rose to new peak at 368, ,022 1868
pairs by going AZ per cent over the
35l ,503,909 pairs for the 1886 period,
the previous high mark.
"Output for November and De-
eember estimated roughly at 52,000,-
600 pairs, as against 64,000,0O0 in
1896, added to the 10-month figures
