THE DRY GOODS MARKET.

The dry goods trade though without exhibitip
any marked Improvement Is rather less vacllatin
if we may SO express it. than it has been for sor
time back. Holders Of goods. after vainly trying al
their various expedients to stimulate demand have
evidently settled to the belief that no inducemen
they can offer will persuade buyers to increase III
volume Of their purchases, but that marking dow
the price OF goods will entail dwarfage OF value
without augmenting the volume Of business. An
yet sellers in their dealings with customers are IL
clined to compromise as much as possible without
ncurring loss, and In many cases concessions are
even made where the seller sustains loss, But as
as much OF their stock as they can without any urp
ing and as this policy seems 70 be permeating the
favorable results to all. We notice no great
accumulation OF stock in the hands OF jobbers who
cantion and ony provide enough for their pressing
exigencles. Manufacturers are likewise very eau
tious, and are conforming their productions as fa
as is practlcable. to the urgent requiremen5s OF
orders. Very few venture beyond this point. Yet
few do and to this fact can be traced one Of the
secrets of the regularity In the values Of the various
brands. Some makes, which in quality are superior
70 otners are IN consequence Of their comparative
abundance, offered for sale lower, or relatively
the prevailing dulness and depression are numerous;
but the political complications the dulness Of the
OF unreasonable and depressing weather are proba-
bly, the most conspicuous among the many draw
backs. More encouraging times, however, have
been spoken for by all Interested and there appears
to be strong determination on the part Of both
manufacturer and jObber to 'Sand 1t Out' until the
actual wants OF the trade develop an active and
profitable business. Our price list indicates some I'm
portant variations since last Monday. We quote
