.;ivcii up for the present, ihe boll weevil is spreading into all 

 he Southern cotton fields. Exertions arc being made in the 

 West Indies to raise the long staple cotton; even if wholly suc- 

 cessful the total production will be inadequate. 



CoTTo.v F.^BRICS. There is no change in the prices of tire 

 fabrics as the spinning and the fabric mills are sold up for the 

 rest of the year. The expectation is that cotton prices will ease 

 otf and that it is better to see how the crops promise bcfoic 

 buying. Yarn prices are unaltered. The demand for future de- 

 liveries in ducks and drills is not so strong as it has been, owing 

 in part to the railroad situation, but the immediate supply is 

 -till insufficient. In raincoat fabrics there is little demand as 

 ■avers are wailing for the lower prices that are hoped for this 

 -ummer. The market for sheetings shows signs of weakening 

 here and there but the mills hold firm. Business is very luiet, 

 what buying there is bein.s; for rubber concerns and automohiie 

 fabric manufacturers.
