New York. Jan. 11.—The rising demand lor cotton goods since tire first of the year has generated more activity in primary markets than they have shown since early last summer, textile distributing In terests Teported today. Prices have improved in a num ber of fabrics, it was assterted with many of today’s transactions closed at levels from 3-4 to 1-2 cent a yard above the recent lows. Buying for speculative account has helped to enliven the market but observers expressed the opinion today that the major demand has come from distributing sources. All lines of goods were bought sparing ly during the final quarter of 1933, and during a part of this period mills sharply curtailed output. Fur th«r restriction ol the opera ling time of mill* is said to have been discussed. Meanwhile, new cotton prices have been moving up slowly and government authorities have been reported as considering more strin gent measures for limiting cotton production this season. The principal activity is said to have been in print cloths, broad cloths, sheetings and a few other constructions. It was reported that 39-inch 80-square prints sold at 9 3-8 cents a yard and 38 1-2-inoh 64-48s at 5 7-8 cents, an advance ot 1-8 cent in each case from prevous quotations. Broadcloths were report ed up 1-8 cent to 7 1-2 cents for 36 1-2-37 inch 80-60s. Some sheet ings made a similar gain.
