Cotton Market Break
To Bar Ceiling Rise on
Textiles, 0PA Says
Price Increase for
Dresses and Shirts Wos
Threatened Next Month
By the Associated Press

An OPA official said today that
November shoppers for cotton
dresses, shirts and similar items
are due to save money as a re-
suit of last weeks market break.
1.-THE drop in cotton prices on
markets will avoid a threatened
boost in ceilings during November, u
the agency spokesman told a re-
porter. He provided this explana-
ton:
Under q provision OF the OPA
extension act, the ceiling tags OF
most cotton goods must be tied to
the market prices of cotton. Thus
III market prices rise one month,
OPA must lift its ceilings on cotton
products the next month.
Such increases were required for
August, September and october.
In the case of mems, womens and
children's cotton garments the In
creases totaled about 10 per cent.
Ceilings on cotton textiles, such
as piece goods, climbed % per cent
during the same period.
The provision requests OPA to
compute its new ceilings on either
the so-called parity price for cotton
or the recent average market price,
whichever is higher.
With the parity price near Is cents
a pound, the average market price
has been much higherx
Last month it averaged 1851 cents
pound during the 9th to the 22d
base period used by OPA for the
purpose. For the period october 8
to Is the average was about 80 cents.
However last weeks slump offset
the early increase so there will be
no boost in ceilings for November
the OPA official said.
