THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 



AMERICAN cotton has been in steady demand, both here 

 and abroad. Middling uplands spot cotton advanced from 

 26.10 cents on March 1, to 28.70 cents March 17, when the market 

 declined, and 27.40 cents was quoted on March 26. The unsettled 

 European situation and heavy liquidations were the causes of the 

 decline. 



The Government reports 12,022,601 equivalent 500-pound bales 

 of ginned cotton for 1918, compared with 11,302,375 bales for 

 1917, and 11,449,930 bales for 1916. Included in the 1918 figures 

 were 35,511 bales of American Egyptian cotton and 51,389 bales 

 of Sea Island, compared with 92,501 bales last year. 



EovPTi.\N Cotton. — The market has not yet returned to a nor- 

 mal conditiini ; few sales were reported, and quotations are there- 

 fore largely nominal. A large consignment of Egyptian was due 

 to arrive late last month. 



Sea Island Cotton. — The Southern markets have been fairly 

 active, but holders were not disposed to accept present prices for 

 large quantities. 



Sheetings, Di"cks. Drills and Osnaburcs. — While the mar- 

 ket has not yet recovered from the effects of government regu- 

 lation, the general situation is constantly improving; all quota- 

 tions, however, are nominal. 



Raincoat Fabrics. — There was a decided improvement last 

 Tnonth in the cotton piece goods trade, and prices show a slight 

 advance over last month's quotations. 



Tire Fabrics. — Some- activity was reported in this market, 

 being particularly noticeable later in the month. From the in- 

 quiries received and the orders placed, it would appear that 

 manufacturers are now planning for increased tire production.
