THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS 

 NEW YORK 



AMERic.\N Cotton. The lack of trade buying has been the 

 primary cause of the quiet conditions ruling in the spot cotton 

 market during July. Prices have fluctuated from 10 to 35 points, 

 showing a tendency to lower values at the end of the month. On 

 July 1, spot middling uplands was quoted at 12 cents as com- 

 pared with 40 cents a year ago. During the first part of the 

 past month prices fluctuated mildly and on July 21, recorded 

 12.85 cents, the highest figure for the month. The absence of 

 trade interest carried values to lower levels and quotations for 

 spot middling uplands were 12 cents on July 26. 



Egypti.\n Cotton. This market has shown a little life during 

 this past month, and prices have therefore stiffened somewhat. 

 Medium grades of uppers have sold around 16 cents, c. i. f. 

 Boston. Although neglected, medium grades of Sakellarides 

 have been bought at 28 to 30 cents, duty paid. Crop reports 

 from Egy-pt are not good as a water shortage is feared. The 

 plant got a late start and is progressing slowly under adverse 

 conditions. 



Arizon.\ Cotton. Arizonas have been movin,g slowly on a 

 basis of 32 cents for extra. Reports from Phoenix indicate that 

 a great deal of cotton is for sale there. The crop is progressing 

 favorably, but, this acreage being reduced, it is estimated that 

 not over 30,000 bales will be ginned.
