The buyer, of his own volition, would not place additional business at this time. By urging the buyers some orders are. being secured on light sheetings, drills and brown shirtings, most of the business coming from the west. Colored Cottons Find Some Buyers. Among the sellers of colored cot tons goods it is stated that the move ment in their lines of goods is im proving as the buyers from the re mote sections of the country are coming in with orders for small lots. These taken in the aggregate bring the sales of the past week up to a larger total than those on any renet week. The checks, plaids and stripes that are used by the cutting-up trade in large volume for working men's clothings, are now selling in fair vol ume. It is not possible on this mar ket to force sales for the fall but there are factors in the trade who realize that the mills are running short time and on a reduced sched ule so far as operatives are concern ed. This will mean a vast reduc tion in the yardage of goods and it is said to be certain that the late lines have done well in competition goods that arrf opened for the fall, there has been a fair business booked and the Anderson and other Southern buyers will have to get along with unsatisfactory delivery. Prices on colored fabrics are low in comparison with the cost of production. Another thing that is pointed out is that reduction in price than other lines of cottons an dcannot go down lower at colored goods have suffered a sharper this time without forcing mills to close down entirely. On the napped with the Amoskeag. The first or ders that are in hand have come from a large number of buyers and there is no likelihood of any serious revision of orders being made. Fancy Cottons Are Still Selling. The buyers are exerting great dis cretion in the matter of placing sup plementary orders on fancy cottons. They want novelties and high class fancy cottons for the balance of their summer trade an dthe goods that are attractive for over the country sale are having the first call. stance of this me Arnold Print report that their sales on a special line of Swiss applique fabrics are keeping up strong and that the full assortment is being taken, by the trade in the west and south in large quantities. These cloths are the pro duce of special machinery that the print works imported last year at an expense of more than $150,000. The applique design in white on a solid color fabric is gummed on and is indestructable. The cloths are made in flounce patterns of 48 inches each at an interval of two inch of the nlai ncloths. Retailers sell from eight to ten of the flounce lengths for a dress pattern. These goous are the only ones of their kind produced in American mills and the buyers have been quick to appreciate their selling qualities. They come in a wide range of colors. Lines of ging hams, chambrays, lawns and organ dies are selling: to advantage in the jobbing houses and there appears to be a stronger demand for some of ilifi standard staple ginghams and print from western and southern du-, GTS. Princes Gambling On Bleached Goods. In spite of the curtailment that is being enforced in all divisions of the bleached goods market so far as the production of goods for stock is con cerned the prices continue to decline. Sellers are letting goods go for ear- ripliverv at concessions ana me eason for this is that the secondary market factors are throwing luige quantities of goods on the market un der valuetions. Cutters up are mak ing purchases as they are not moving their finished products in the quantity they anticipated. So far as the pob bers are concerned they appear to be willing to go along with practically no stocks this fall rather than place orders at today's valutions. The wide sheetings, shirtings, cambrics and muslins that were firmly held at the opening of the month are now selling at three to five percent less where the buyers are willing to take unticketed goods. More sales of the special con structions cloth are being made for spot and early delivery than on any other class of bleached goods. Export Trade Keeps Small. Tn thP showing of the export trade for the past week it is impossible to eet much encouragement as the move- ment of American maae conuu umo ie cmn The sale of duck keeps up stronger than during the early days of this month. In charging up business for exnnrt. the South American, West Indian and Asiatic countries Hook a few hundred fiales of ducks that ag gregate something like thirty thousand dollars. On drills, sheetings, shirt ings, prints and fancy woven cottons. vJc nrmr TrPVflilinff the I weight sheetings for China but the brokers are making offers that are a full 1-4 cent below the rock bottom prices that mills will accept. Blankets for the New Season. Buyers are able to judge of the range of prices on cotton blankets for the fall season by the opening quotations on the two leading lines in this mar ket that are now before the trade. The Amory, Browne & Co., line has been opened at prices that give the buyers the lowest range on this class of blanket that has ruled for several years. The Smith, Hogg & Co., lines have opened at prices ranging from 50 cents to $1.50 and the lines show big value for the prices. All of the styles are much improved in fancy bor der effects in the lines thus far shown and the finish on the blankets is de clared to be the best that the mills have been able to maqe. Prices should have been higher and it is regretted that the financial and industrial con dition of the country has prevented the blanket market from being able to stand out for a range of prices more commensurate with the cost of produc tion. Last year the prices were not high and to make them on a lower range this season leaves the mills but a narrow margin of profit. Fankner, Page & Co., have opened their full line of cotton blankets. The Parrish, Stafford Co. has also opened lines of cotton blankets made by the Rhode Is land company in tans, white, blues, pink and gray. Prices On Leading Lines of Cotton.1 The prices on cotton goods in this market are as follows: regular print cloths, 3 1-2 cents (nominal), 28 inch 64x60's, 3 1-8 cents to 3 1-4 cents; 38 1-2 inch standards, 4 1-2 cents, 39 4 yards 5 1-4 to 5 1-2 cents, 7-ounce inch 6Sx72's, 5 1-4 cents: brown sheet brown sheetings, 3 yards, G 1-2 cents, osnaburgs 9 1-2 cents; brown stan dard drills 7 to 7 1-4 cents; 8 ounce cotton duck, 12 cents; 9 ounce denims, 12 1-2 to 15 cents: 8 ounce tickings, 12 cents; standard prints G cents; standard staple ginghams, 6 cents; fine dress ginghams 11 1-2 to 13 1-2 cents; kid-finished cambrics 4 1-4 to ings southern standard, 6 7-8 to 7 cents, 4 1-2 cents.
