Cotton Textile Buyers
Show Increased Interest
By th« Associated Brass
NEW YORK, May 17. — Selling
houses noted increased interest
among buyers in the cotton textile
market during the past week follow
ing a lull in sales for more than six
weeks.
Activity was limited to scattered
sales of print cloths and sheetings
for nearby delivery, but prices on
orders for prompt shipment were
slightly firmer. Opinion in the trade
was that inventories have been re
duced sufficiently to warrant ex
pectations of a pickup in sales soon.
Spot goods offerings were limited.
Some mills were reported slowing
down operations and selling some
surplus raw cotton stocks in the
; open market with the idea of limit
ing inventory markdowns.
| Offerings of worsteds were taken
; up quickly in the wool goods market.
| Woolens attracted little interest,
i Rayon goods mill made routine
| deliveries of goods to converters
against previous allocations. Buyers
in the finished goods field were cau
tious, hoping for lower prices.
Capital Securities
Over the Counter.
The following bid and asked quotations
on Washington’securities traded over the
