demand is very great and the prospect is that prices will be ex- 

 tremely high. 



Egyptian Cotton. The supply of Egyptian cotton has been 

 larger than was expected for the crop was good, though the staple 

 was shorter than usual in many cases, owing to the native trick 

 of cutting off the water in order to force the boll to open early. 

 The high price offered offset in some degree English competition. 



From the first to the middle of October, prices advanced 

 sharply but later in the month the market fell off, medium Sakel- 

 larides bring quoted 58V4 cents and medium uppers at 56 cents. 



A.MERiCAN-EGypTWN. Arizona has yielded the largest crop 

 yet produced, but this, combined with imported Egyptian, will 

 not make up for the deficiency due to the shortage of Sea Island 

 cotton. A fair amount of this cotton has been marketed and the 

 demand, although somewhat restricted, continues to take care of 

 the output of all gins. Prices have held steadily around 68 and 

 70 cents for the best grades. 



Sea Island Cotton. Sea Island cotton conditions show no 

 change, with an exceedingly small crop in prospect. The govern- 

 ment estimate of 15,000 bales will probably be reduced at the end 

 of the year. Good grades are demanding very high prices. 

 Probably a good grade of average extra choice could be bought 

 for 70 cents. 



Tke Fabrics. The market is very strong. Increased produc- 

 tion of tires and the condition of the cotton crop, with the in- 

 creased shortage in long staple, make it impossible for the mills

to meet the demand. The product is sold substantially to the end 

 of 1920. 



Other Fabrics. A like excess of demand over supply prevails 

 with other cotton fabrics. For waterproofing materials, for 

 sheetings, for hose and belting, for drills and ducks it is the same 

 story of goods very scarce and deliveries for next year only. 

 Asbestos cloth and yarns are hard to get; there are almost no^ 

 imports from England and none from Germany.
