Textile Markets Quiefer;
Prices Remain Firm
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 17.-Textile
markets turned quieter during the
last week, though prices remained
firm at unchanged levels in practi-
cally all instances. In both the
cotton and rayon goods markets
new orders were more than equal
to production at the current rate.
Sharply higher prices established
during the huge turnover in cotton
cloth week ago were a contributing
factor in restricting sales.
Most large buyers of print cloths
and related items were believed in
trade quarters to have covered the
bulk of expected requirements for
number of weeks to come, and
with these spurs removed from the
market, turnover ran at a steady
day-to-day rate of around 100000
yards of print and broadcloths.
Bulk of deliveries sold was for
August shipment, with top
levels being paid for all goods
moved. Scattered inquiry was noted
for goods for delivery in the early
weeks of 1912, but there was no con-
certed move to obtain cloth in
quantity this far ahead.
Small manufacturers of wooden
piece goods entered the market. but
even the relatively small quantities
sought by these buyers were hard
and actually impossible in some
instances-to obtain. Prices held
up well, but makers of wooden and
worsted cloth were still playing a
waiting game with civilian con-
sumers.
