relief h now absolutely needed TO enable operators
to 90 on In the business and hive BY 1t. Some do
mand exists for choice styles Of brown and beachsd
shestings and shirtisgs at steady prices while cot
ton Hsnrels delims, and drills are rather inactive
and not very firm. Duck Il dull and droo sying.
Ginghams have not varied. Lawns are scarcely no

burgs ore spanugy dealt in at declining prices.
Ttere IL rather more doing In desirable quail les Of
printing cloths and prints but no charge

and ticks are dull and heavy. Nothing really new
can be noticed in woollen fabrics. The sup

Prices are without improvement Blankets rule
about the same. Cassime es, cloths and doeskins
are In limited request, Of feebly-sustained rates
There IL not much movement In fannsls, jeans or
linieys, which are also quoted laDguid. Mousslaine
de LANES are In moderate demand o. cd figures.
Satinets and tweeds are unchanged. The trade In
foreign p oductions Is very tiHng and insufficient
to enable us to present . detailed notice thereof
The arrivals sre not large and the stock on the mar

elk alton TO force sales, and reluctant to make
any further reduction In prices. Thus this branch
Of the business stands at present, with little being
done therein, and without any striking symptom OF
o change for the bsttsr.
