Market notes on cotton goods metals and steel products
The cotton goods market shows a sixteenth decline from a week ago with undersold standard grades yet strong demand but not enough to raise activity. Wool prices rise creating an obstacle to more sales while cancellations hint dealers are disappointed in distribution. Bessemer pig and grey forge edges up slightly. Wire nails fall five cents per keg and steel rails fetch 17.50 at eastern houses. Large contracts exist for 10 000 tons domestic, 12 000 tons Austria, 8 000 tons with 7 000 tons for South Africa. Tiliall Steel fills orders for the year. Carnegie company sold 6 000 tons deck plates to English shipbuilders. Chicago orders for plates exceed 1 000 tons for railroads car makers and weapon works. Wire combination fails to secure broader control of about zero percent of output. Activity strong in central and western regions, east shows demand. Weekly failures total 208 in the United States versus 218 last year and 27 in Canada versus 0 last year.
