The New York Commercial: There „
.pry little business doing In the cotton yhjn
market, ns, In spite of the low figures
named, layer* are not taking on any iur-
ther supplies. The concessions which have
Ihnmi gnint.tl mid are still being offered l»y
sellers seem to have cheeked rather than
Increased buying. Manufacturer* of piece
goods appear to have become thoroughly
Imbued with the Idea that prices are to go
still lower, and that there 1s no use hi
purchasing yarns today which will be ob
tainable Inter on nt lower tlgure*. It can
be stated, however, that representatives of
any of the large spinning plants are keep-
out of the mni'set and refuse to make
ly new prlees at the present time.
In the majority of cases these large
spinners have sufficient orders on hand to
keen their plant# running for homo Jlttle
hlle. and they prefer to wait until these
filer* are used up before breaking prices.
Wearing yarns are weak with the demand
decidedly light. Hosiery yarns are In bet
ter shape than the weaving counts, as the
moderate amount of business which has
been In evidence has served to keep this end
of the market on a steadier basis.
The fact that quite n few knitters were
hndlv covered for the future bus resulted
In these knitters coming Into the market
from time to time for additional supplies.
The fact that more yarns will he required
by kuitters to got out tbelr spring orders
with seems to he pretty well known to the
yam agent# and this has given a steadier
tone to the knitting end.

Private wire house said: "W« nre aide

heavy buying corning from continental K
ro|ie for good American wheat the next
sixty day*. We cousMer purchase* to date

Western Elevator Company; win
Minn., wired: “Very cool h**re. Have not
seen In all our territory a field of corn that
shows signs of rl|HMiiiig unless we get n
radical change In weather conditions very
sooti. We believe the corn crop will turn
cut worse (hail the oats.’’
Reports of warmer weather In the
Northwest were m.ore than offset by
advances from New York, foreigners
taking both cash and futures there. The
fact that 100,000 bushel* of No. 2 red
winter wheat were taken here for ex
port helped matter* on the bull Hide no
little. The Modern Miller report was
construed by tho trade as a bullish
document. New York reported 126
loads of wheat as taken for export and
some of It nt fancy prices.
Northwestern receipts: Wheat 166
cars, compared with 69 last year.
There was more or les* netting pres
sure on corn In the way of profit-tak
ing by longa. which caused many of the
local talent to trail on.
There was a good trad® In oats early,
but the market became slow later.
Prices held up fairly well.
