The conclusion is again arrived at that the actual consumer will only pay a price for cotton textiles which bears, a certain relation to alternative cloths of other materials, Above that rate he refuses to buy.

Growers cannot expect spinners to continue marketing their fibre ata Joss.

A steady miscellaneous business is still being booked.. Overseas buyers, watching the prices of cotton and ignoring the firmness of yarns, make bids which are still far below Manchester.

India is buying odd lots for all markets, but a good weight of staple lines keeps just out of reach. China bids are generally too low. South America and the Near East are buying rather more than last week, but Java and the Straits remain out of the market.

If this were allowed, there would be no saying where extra-territorial rights would next go by the board.

The Chairman thanked the other national Chambers, particularly the American, for standing by them in this fight.
