Jw York Commercial: Cotton yarn prices I continue to show a somewhat sagging tend ency. and prices nre reported from day to day which show that certsln spinners or tln lr agents are wlUlug to do business for future deliveries nt lower values. Although| concessions are lieing offered, buyers fall to show much Interest lu the market at pres* *nr. but It Is known In certain circles that supplies at the weaving mills are low and must be replenished at an early date. For some tlmo past it has l»een claimed by lunnufneturers using cotton yarns that prices were too high and altogether out of »H proportion to the cost of raw cotton. They have done their best to force prices down, and have only been forced to stop f by the fact that they had to purchase at ►ellers* prices to meet requirements, or go without. ... The pick of business has resulted In some spin iters trying the market In order to ire Just how Arm prices are. For anything like near-by deliveries the market has .been found to l»c Arm, but on future delivery business Into next year buyers are demand ing and getting concessions. Manufacturers la many cases seem to be fairly well sup- J piled with yarn, ov at least are trying to five sellers that Impression.
