THE MARKET FOR COTTON AND OTHER FABRICS. 



NEW YORK. 



A MERICAN Cotton. The official figures show a decrease in 

 •**■ cotton consumption for March, when 433,000 bales were 

 consumed as compared with 571,000 bales in March, 1918. Both 

 imports and exports for March sliow an increase, exports being 

 504,230 bales, as against 311,810 for March, 1918. Imports for 

 March were 15,561 bales, compared with 14,261 bales in 1918. 



The spot market has been featureless, and prices have not 

 changed materially. The deinand appeared to be for low grades. 

 Middling uplands was quoted 28.60 cents on April 1, and on 

 April 25 the figures were 29.25. 



Egyptian Cotton. This season there will be no restriction on 

 the growing of cotton in Egypt, with the full peace time a:reage 

 to be planted. Conditions so far have been very satisfactory 

 for the preparation of the crop and the weather has not hindered 

 operations. 



The arrival of two cargoes of cotton from Egypt during the 

 month resulted in prices falling below 50 cents. 



American Egyptian Cotton. The 1919 crop of American 

 Egyptian cotton in the Salt River Valley will be the product of 

 about eighty-three thousand acres of land. The planting of the 

 crop has been completed. The quickest time has been made and 

 the most favorable conditions for five years have prevailed. 

 While the spring was a little late, the rains have not been accom- 

 panied by the usual cold weather. A great deal of the cotton 

 is already showing above ground. 



This year's crop has all been sold. Quotations were 50 to 

 52 cents for Yuma and 55 to 57 cents for Pima. 



Sea Island Cotton. There has been a fair deinand in the 

 northern markets and prices have ranged between 50 and 54 

 cents, with a difTerence of about a cent between the various 

 grades. 



Burlap. Market very firm with prospect of higher prices. 



Sheetings, Ducks, Drills, and Osnaburgs. Market condi- 

 tions are much more active and stronger than last month and 

 prices of many coarser fabrics have advanced 5 cents or more 

 a pound. 



Tire Fabrics. Although inquiries received last month indicate 

 greater interest in tire fabrics, the demand has been small. 

 Peelers were steadier and prices unchanged from last month's 

 quotations.
