That price-fixing next week for domestic kplnners account would be on a big scale wan the under standing In local quarters, one firm alone being reported to contemplate fixing prices on 35.000 bales. Added to this spot news were reports from southern spot centers quite as bullish as those of the previous day indicating no change in the strong atttuilo of holders. The producion of 'lintirs from August 1 to December 31 Was reported by the census bureau to )V 534.837 bales, of 600 pounr.'s against 626.529 lust year and on the basis of the first five months of the present season the total crop of linters would approximate 1,100,000 bales compar ed with 1,328,000 bales last season.
