The improved tone of feeling noticed in our
last has been still more manifest this week. Of
fers have been made more freely for the best
class Of staple goods, and il would be easier to
take orders Tor future delivery than at any pre-
viOus date this year. Odds and ends Of invoices
and old styles of prints and lawns have been
sold of in some cases, by iObbers, at prices con-
siderably below the value Of fresh goods from
the same mills. Such sales are no criterion Of
the market, but are sometimes used 60 mi3lead
the inexperienced a1d thus to circulate quota
ton to serve some selfish purpose, The business
doing Is very light, but there is far more conf
nenee in the future"
The same paper states that there is no
improvement in foreign goods, and adds
There is a moderate demand for good
styles Of thin dress goods, but these are only
sold in small quantities to supply the lin
tied wants of retail trade. For others there
is little inquiry, and forced sales are made
with difficulty, even at low figures"
