THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



Copyri,^ht igi6. 



NEW YORK 



COTTOX has had the most sensational price advance during 

 the latter part of August that has occurred at any time for 

 the past 30 years, with the exception of the Sully hoom of 1903 

 and the bull movement led by Patten six years ago, when prices 

 went to 16 cents. 



In this recent movement prices advanced ISO points within a 

 week, and on August 25. September contracts, representing the 

 beginning of the new crop movement, v.ent to 15.66, October 

 15.75. December 15.89. January 15.95, March 16.09, May 16.20 and 

 July deliveries 16.26. 



The principal cause of this spectacular advance was the fear 

 of crop shortage that has gradually developed during the past 

 month, due to drouth conditions and low crop reports recently 

 issued by the Agricultural Bureau at Washington. The appre- 

 hension is that this season's crop will be cut down to 12,000.000 

 bales against 14,000.000 hales that represented the world's spin- 

 ners' consumption lor last year. 



Se.v Island Cottox. .\ccording to the U. S. Census Bureau 

 the Sea Island crop for the year 1915-16 amounted to 91,920 

 bales distributed as follows: Georgia. 57,572; Florida, 28,170: 

 South Carolina, 6,178. The commercial crop report figures for 

 1915-16 are 85,278 l)ales distributed as follows: South Carolina, 

 6,211; Georgia and Florida, 79,067. A difference of 6,642 bales 

 is noted in these reports which cannot be definitely accounted 

 for; however, it is known tliat this year's crop is some 6.000 bales 

 in excess of last year. 



Egyptian Cotton. The -\lexandria market has been charac- 

 terized by weakness with scarcely a change in the new or old 

 crop positions. Advices dated July 27 indicate entire absence of 

 buying orders from abroad and a consequent stagnant market. 

 The weather has favored new crop coiulitions, with the result 

 that the plant has developed too rapidly at this time ; however, 

 tlie coming months of .\uKust and Septetnber are looked forward 

 to with more anxiety as the plant de\ elo|inu-nt at that time is 

 most important. 



The recent rise in American cotton has resulted iti prices 

 advancing rapidly ami the closittg of tlic I'.gyptian Cotton Ex- 

 change. 



Cotton Fabrics. The fundamentals that have controlled the 

 cotton fabric situation for the past month are the same, and, 

 moreover, the same market deductions are applied in tire fabrics, 

 hose and belting duck, and textiles generally used in the rubber 



trade. The general demand both at home and abroad for all 

 sorts of rubber textiles continues unabated. The textile mills 

 have made extensive plant additions, ordered new equipment, 

 increased the running time and arranged night shifts to take care 

 of the business. Theoretically, production should now equal the 

 demand, but practically it does not, for the labor is not obtain- 

 able. I'or that reason looins are idle, night shifts incomplete 

 anil tiiachinery builders unable to make delivery of new equip- 



Kollowing the sensational advance of cotton, prices of cotton 

 fabrics advanced rapidly, and the mills withdrew all old quota- 

 tions and refused to quote prices at the present time. Under 

 the prevailing circumstances the fabric market is most unfavor- 

 able for both seller and buyer, the former threatened by labor 

 and a short crop, and the latter by higher prices.
