New York Dry Goods Market

New Work Dry Goods Market
NEW YORK, May L.
The decline in certain styles of cal
icos and heavy brown sheetings yester-
day has become more general to day
and has led to some Improvement in
trade, although the market is still dull
and depressed enough. A line of Law
renee G. heavy brown ,sheetiDgs have
been closed out at l6tc, but other lead
ing makes are steady at l7!a1Sc. Amos
keag prints are down to l2!c, four per
cent. off for ~ days, but the printers
assert that it cost l5sc to put the goods
upon the market. The Lowell are re-
duced to lie and Wamsutta to 10c, and
Pacific delaiHes have fallen to 16c, but
the decline in prices here noted is chiefly
in light ,upseasonable styles which have
been closed out very soon or not at all,
and consequently does not affect the
general market, for it is expected prices
must rec.ver as soon as the demand be-
comes more animated.
