Dec. 7.—Liverpool cable* were again favorable In lone, their views Indtig btiMil upon the gcucntl excellent cm dltlon of th«* spot market, sales in which amounted to l liale* at a loss In qnotu tbms of 7 p«dnu. options, however, were subjected to considerable liquidation, ow ing to the near proximity of the Amoil can government's estimate*. Today'* tuar ket was distinctly an unluteresting affair, dominated first by tin* report of a large cotton fire lu Houston, which afterwards proved Insignificant, ami then by the in Ihteitee of an exceedingly lll»eral movement. But with the small interest that the mar ket now holds, it tens ouly untural that pri"e changes should rule comparatively narrow and Incommensurate with the In fleeficra nt hand. The absence of a strong ►not demand Is also a factor which of late has proven slgnlttcautlv favorable to lower levels and augmented by the constantly In creasing tlxc of the movement, naturally gives rise to beliefs that now prevail to the effect that consumption of an uiimlstaka- Me character must bend‘forth furnish more than n tentative tnfluenee in creating high er levels. DRY GOOD8 MARKET ITEMS. New York Commercial. . „ . _ A* an Pittance of the strength of tho fine yarn goods. It can be stated that a well known ticketed cambric which threeftuonth* ago sold at 9*4 cent* 1* now sellings for ad vance at 10% cents, more business offered thsn the mill can possibly handle. The difference In export* of cotton goods to Chinn during October of this year as compared with the same period In 1966, namely, 8.796.M7 yards this October, us against 29.828.023 for October, 1906, Is causing much comment In the trade. It la stated by commission merchants thst their mills report lu some Instances 25 per rent of the looms as being Idle through lack of lalmr, while their order books are rowded with contracts calling for Immedl- ite delivery nnd for months ahead. Htaple cotton goods are steadily stiffening up. First hands In this market state that . ineertaln about placing next March ore now »r" deliveries oi not due until the end of February. On fine dress prints the only in being able to get good* stability pin price Is beyond question, and many look for goods now* held nt values to remain sd for an Indefinite period.' On heavyweight cottons It was stated yes terday by n number of leading commission houses thst orders have been accepted call ing for August and Hoptqmbor delivery, nnd that the largest price n6w prevailing wns obtainable on any* good* for nearer ship ment. - Delivery on heavy cottons, especially ducks, drills-and heavy twilled gbods. can not bn made Inside of four to five mouth*. A scarcity of labor to operate looms Is one of the main factora In reducing the volume of goods coining forward. Mills can secure large additional business on their terms if deliveries could l>e assured. The lending handlers of blenched cloths state that market conditions are becoming stronger dally, ahd that further advances seem Inevitable. The wide bleached cloths of high count are sold* from ..four to six months In advance, nnd the demand Is still far from satisfied. The fine yarn construc tion cloth* are expected to hold their full value chiefly because of the scarcity of fine grade cotton. Mills are obliged to pick up supplies In 25 to 60-bnle lots, uml are still far from being covered. mm tue enu or renrunry. dress ginghams, wash goods nnd ► only trouble sellers experience Is iblc fo get good* to fill order.
