severe blow to spinners, but they will be more immediately affected by the small stock of raw cotton held by them and the restricted con- tracts made by them be ore the rise in price, The smaller spinning companies, owing to their ficancial position, cannot hold large supplice of cotton in stock, and if the present high price continues to be maintained they will be com pelled to purchase new stocks at the prevailing higher rates. The disparity between the price paid for raw collon by the larger companiei and that paid by the smaller concerns will pro vent the products of the latter from being placed on the market on so 'equal footing with those of the former. Is the present state of business, it is difficult to believe that all the larger companies are holding large stocks of raw cotton purchased when quotations were lower, and even if they are the stocks will be scarcely enough to last for the remainder of the your, and, the spinners will 'have to buy new stocks for next year at the higher prices. The Osaka journal then asks whether the smaller spinning companies will be able to hold their own against their stronger rivals holding a large supply of cheap raw cotton, and further asks whether the yarn market is likely to rise by the time the large companies have used up all their stocks of cheap cotton, and they are compelled to buy supplies at higher prices. The opinion prevails in some. quarters that the smaller companies will propose a reduction of working hours in the spinning-mills and so limit the output of YETU, in order to force up the market. The larger companiei, which at prescot see no prospect of an improvement in the yard market, might also agree to the proposal; Japanese spinners are now in a better position than their Indian coatéres, and if the prevent price of yarn is maintained, the export may increase, followed It remains to be seen, however, whether the by an advance in the home quotation for yarn,
advance in the quotation for yarn, can keep pace with the rise in the price of raw cotton. It is believed that the Japan Cotton Spinners' Association will agree to a further suspension in the operation of spindles, although as per -cont are already stopped. -
