COTTON GOODS TRADE N
AIDS COTTON MARKET
New Orleans Prices Higher as Result of
Bettor Demaud for Manufactured
* Cotton.
New Orleans, Oct. 27. —Much better
accounts of trade in manufactured goods
were the strongest iutluence in the cot
ton market today and caused firmness
and active buying iu the face of a great
deal of week-eiul realizing of. profits ou l
the loaig side, buying being heaviest in
the late trading when, prices went 0 to
17 points over the last sales of yester
day. to 30,27 cents a pound for Decem
ber. The close was 4to 8 points net'
higher on the day and the last trade in
December was at 30.23, the closing range
of sales on that position being from
b 30.10 to 30.23.
* Liquidation by longs was a depres
ing influence on the* opening and iu the
early session December sagged to 20.08,
with the list 15 to 21 points under the
dose of yesterday. Unfavorable weath
er returns from the western belt esulted
in a rally back to about the level of yes
terday's close but the real buying move
ment of the day was not felt until dur
ing the second* half of the session. Tele
grams from Galveston that 100,000 bales
of cotton would clear that port at the eud
of the month encouraged considerable
buying but the sharpest demand followed
reports from Worth Street that some
dry goods hocuses yesterday did the best
business jin their history and that one
firm alone had sold over 10,000,000
yards of cloths. f
While the weather over a good part
of the belt was dry and somewhat warm
er. points in North and West Texas and
in Oklahoma wired that they still were
experiencing cold and wet weather and
the offisial predictions called for similar
conditions over Sunday over a consider
able part of the VCsterii cotton coun

turning.
Chicago Evening American.
' Today an pld gentleman came into
The Evening American office with tremb- '
ling lips and eyes that shifted from one
destk to another.
‘"Yon wanted ?” he Avas asked.
‘T’m looking for Brentsie,” quavered
the old man.
‘'Brentsie? Nobody with us by that
name.”
I “But. Brentsie, she’s gone away, and
! I’m looking for her. They said you’d
find her for me. That’s Avhat I'm here
for.”
The old man sat dyAvn and waited
confidently then.
Here is hfe story:
i Six years ago he came to Chicago from
•North Carolina. His name
j T. Ward, and once a long time ago. his
folks down there, had their miles of plan
tations and 110 salves and all that fort
of thing.
j Then hard luck overtook the Wards
, and at 71 —six, years ago—old Dallas
Ward and his little daughted, Brentsie.
| t ame to Chicago.
Last Monday morning old Dallas es-
Icorted Brentsie to the office of the Amer
|iearf Medical Association, Dearborn and
jand Grand avenue, Avhere she obtained
a position as a stenographer.
“I kiesed her bood-by and said I hoped
she'd like her first position," said the
old man. “and that’s the last I've seen
of her.”
The missing Brentsie is 16; she is
large for her age. She is pretty, too.
old Dallas said, Avith chestnut brown
hair and laughing blue eyes. she is
about 5 feet and 4 1-2 inches tall aud
Aveighs. maybe. 110 pounds. She Avoye
a blue skirt, light blouse and a pretty
little toque AA'ith colored floAA'ers.
“I know you can find her,” said her
i parent. “I'll wait right here until
you do. please.”
SomehoAV The Evening American must
find tlie missing Brentsie, because her
daddy, old Dallas Ward from North Car
' olina. can't eat or sleep until *he is
found. He won't even stay home at the
Hotel Elmo. 516 Rush Street. Avhere lie
and Brentsie have a little home.
What are Ave going to da about it?
New Orleans Cotton Review.
New Orleans. Oct. 28.—The price of
cotton last Aveek was y<ent to new high
for the season, new high records
b't’ig '•made repeatedly up to Friday
Avlieu the Dec-ember position traded at
30,52 cents a pound. At this stage the
active mouths in the contract market
Avere 112 to 132 points over the last
sales of the preceding Aveek. On the
close prices were 78 to 103 points net
higher an the week. December closing at
30.23. In the spot- department prices
gained 62 points on middling. Avhtcb
closed at 30.50 cents a pound against
23-25 on the close of this Aveek last
year.
There Avere tAvo important factors
working for higher prices, the loAA-er
range of crop ideas resulting from much
unfavorable weather in the belt, more
particularly in the extreme Avestern
sections and signs of improving trade
in the, large textile markets of the
Avorld. Markets on this side of the
water tvere started, soon after the mid
dle of the week, by cables saying that
one firm, doing a large business in the
far east, had bought a million pieces of
cloth in the Manchester market. At the
eud of the AveekT- New York telegrams
received her claimed that some. Worth
street firms had been doing thd largest
business in their history and that one
firm, alpha put through transactions
amounting to more than 10.000,000
yards of good* on one day toward the
end of the A\-eek.
Private crop estimates of the Aveek
reflected a decided downward revision
in figures, earlier estimates ranging
from 0.816.000 bales to 10.300.000 Avhile
on tlie closing session an estimate of
0.506.000 bales appeared and Avas
seriously considered by the trade. The
question of the size of the crop will be.
brought into greater prominence this
coming Aveek by the- condition and in
dicated crop yield due from the depart
ment of agricultures Thev will carry the.
crop down to October 25 aud will be
issued Friday. Thursday will be a holi
day iu this market. The end of the week
seems likely to he almost wholly domi
nated by the bureau report.
Post & Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York. (let. 25. —The market
reached new high levels on demand stimu
lated by disappointing ginning returns
and character of Ayeather advices, which
indicate plainly that hope of any top
crop of consequence must.he abandoned
completely.
If there is any symptom of impending
weakness it is so well concealed that no
one can put a finger upon it and at each
qew high the appears stronger
than at receut lower levels.
Mills assert they cannot dispose of
their product at prices that enable them
to break e\-eu Avith cost of production,
but it is believed that much fixing of
prices remains to be done and some of
the eastern mills that closed down are
reported intending to resume operati ms
next month, either in i»art or i* full.*
Ginning figures are construed as con
firmation of short crop ideas and white
hardly in line Avith estimates helow 1 0.-
000.000 are certainly small enough to
satisfy any but the most extremely bul
lish.
Their full meaning is contingent ui>on
the per ceut. of crop which they repre
sent and that is open to debate.
Foreign trade advices are better aud
exports continue well ahead of last year
though takings are a goo deal behind.
There is no- room to doubt that the
supply, is much below anything ajiproacli
ing normal requirements aud pressure
from the actual is a possibility too re
mote to need consideration qntess re
quirements are reduced more heavily
than suggested by any developments to
date.
