New YoRR DRY Goops MARKET. Fridays Tribnn,
says OF the Dry Goods market in New York TIL,
trade Of the week in general Dry Goods has not beer
large. The deliveries to the nearby trade as well al
the duplicated orders haSg relieved the market IRON
of the year generally. The largo distributing house,
have made quite large contracts during the past weel
in anticipation of the early trade and manufacturer
OF staple goods generally encouraged in view
| the small stocks on hand and the brskness of de
mand. Printing Cloths have main tanned the advanc,
previously noticed and the only difficulty at presen
which seems to prevent extensive business is tn
small supply Offering The sales during the past weel
have not been large as the previous report, bu
reach fair aggregate. Heavy Brown Sheetings hav
not been In great demand but prices have been main
tanned. Woolens have been more active, especiall!
low and medium goods. Sattinets are not in larg
| stock, and tnc tendency is toward an advance ii
tho results of the seasons business have been sucl
as TO offer little encouragement for future heavy i'm
portations.
