Minor ad vances are reported dally on various lines, showing plainly that the goods are working into a stronger position and that manufac turers hare absolutely no fear ns to ths business of the future. Domestic staple cotton goods lines, such as sheetings, drills, etc., are firmly held and on some lines ad vances of He are reDorted. The export trade, or rather lack of It, is cutting nlmo- lutely no figure In the market here and ths only thing that appears to bother the manu facturer of cotton goods nt all Is thp scarcity of lalmr and the difficulty In hold- . . f orc€B together.
