THE New York San calls attention to
the fact that all through the month OF
February prices have been gradually
but steadily tending downward, with
the single prominent exception of rents.
The price Of gold in Wall street touched
one hundred and thirty-six on Satur-
day, the lowest point that 1t has reach
ed since last fall. The coal sales Of last
week showed the nearest approach to
old fashioned prices of fuel that we
have noticed since the era of high Pri-
ces commenced. The figures ranged
from seven 10 eight dollars a ton, and
the bidding was very dull at that. In
the New York dry goods market every
thing is fiat, dull and dropping. The
Wholesale merchants are doing almost
nothing in the Rayof sales, but are ire
quently changing their marks figure
lower. They generally have large stocks
on hand. as have also the manuiactur-
crs, and there is n prospect of much
lower rates. The same - true OF gro
ceries and nearly every other class OF
goods. or course the retailers VIII
maintain old prices as long as possible;
with the object of clearing out stocks
that were bought at high rates, but
continued decline in the wholesale
market will compel them to como down
or run the risk of havingtheir goods
remain on hand. On the whole, the
tendency of prices generally Is quite
encouraging TO consumers.
