The Improvement is conservative, but it is steady, and it is noticeable in nearly every large trade center. The large crop and early maturity of cot ton, making for lower prices, is work ing a readjustment In the cotton goods trade oa the basis of Increased activi ty. The result Is a resumption of op erations in mills that were idle and an increased production in mills that were working part-time. That the dry goods trade Is expand ing steadily Is shown by the Increased operations of mills and manufactur ers of different dry goods specialties. Jobbers are beginning to look further ahead for early spring needs, and lower prices for tickings, denims rind other heavy colored cottons have re sulted in more active ordering. The decline in cotton prices is now meeting with more or less resistance. Reports of heavy rains and sugges tions as to frost were supporting In fluences, yet quotations early fell be low 9c, The crop is being rapidly mar keted and export trade is brisk, ship ments abroad last month exceeding those or 1910 by fully 250,000 bales. Dry Coeds and Woolens. The general demand for cotton goods holds up steadily and is still char acterized by the conservative ?lze of the orders and the wide territory from which they come regularly.

Tlie -4!otton Market. It has been more ^h, two-sided cot ton market this week, greater resist ance being offered to the downward movement of prices. Business was again on an active scale, with sharp fluctuations in both directions, al though a moderate net advance was the ultimate result. A sudden rise of some $1.50 per bale at the outset was prompted'by fears of unfavorable weather developments in the South west and eastern sections of the ladt, yet selling pressure was quickly re sumed and values subsequently broke through the 9-cent mark for the Octo ber and January deliveries. Thereaf ter much irregularity prevailed, with the short accoutn becoming somewhat j more cautious and the bullish element being encouraged to take a more ag gressive position, owing to predictions of frost and the appearance of rather heavy rains in several States. Also, ?the exports continued liberal, domes tic trade advices were in certain in stances more Cheerful and resumption of work at southern yarn mills was noted. Advocates of higher prices ar gue that with such a large short inter est outstanding any serious setback to the crop would start nil urgent cover ing movement that would of itself lift the market well above the present level, and some buying for a turn was based on this theory.

As a matter of fact, 17.000,000 bales has even been hinted at, but such enthus iastic forcasts do not receive serious consideration and lf>,000.000 bales seems to be the most popular guess. Certainly the crop is coming forward with great rapidity.

If this were the announcement of a new model you might be skeptical of the car's merits, but Ford Model T is the best known car on earth. More of them are on the high ways of the world than there are of any other motor car. This is the fifth session of the Model T and its absolute reliability has been proven by 80,000 satisfied Model T owners. Think how that car has been tried and tested in four years of hard service.
