In speaking of the Cotton crop, the Tribune says
The crop of Cotton is attracting the attention of
manufacturers and factors From the cotton districts
receiving the usual amount of wang that the worm
in section and the drouth in another is reducing
estimates which current few weeks since. But
pretty clear that the crop will be larger than any
before knownf the frost should be late the average
of the years. The estimates of last years
crop about $780, 900 bales; but the tables
show actual receipt of 3,s50,000 bales-whch was
nearly 900 900 bales in of that of 1885, and
100000 bales greater than the previous year. The high
price of Cotton during the past few has stimulated
its production that degree that accurate data be
derived from the receipts of previous years Texas will
increase her production this year nearly quarter
above that of last year, and large quantities of land
other States being constantly brought into requiston
which has heretofore been under cultivation for cereals
and other products and it would surprise of the
bestnformed if the crop should prove equal 900
bales That the price in any will rule high with
the continuance of the European demand, seems pro
babe.
The New York Independent thus notices the Dry Goods

"The market has been active, but mostly at auction
The importers forced to the auction sell their
goods, and some heavy sacrifices have been made silk
goodssome parcels netting not above 60 per
invoice price. Prices have declined during the
Few the goods that have been sold at private SALE
either of British, French German fabrics. British
goods do not find their way to the auction in any
large quantities. French shawls, mernos and ribbons
sold exclusively at auction and but the very
best styles firm in price The auctoneers are doing
aproabe business and most of them discount their own
paper inducing the importers to sell in way as they
can Immediately realize and remit home proceeds
