DRY GOODS.

cotton goods. The upward movement
in raw material has been arrested, but
nevertheless, prices of certain classes o
goods are gradually hardening, partic
ularly for printed and plain cotton fab
RIGS, which are in good request. II
would seem now as if all classes o.
cotton goods must advance within the
next thirty days. Sprague's new
styles of light prints have been opened
at l4Hc, while dark, and medium
light styles are still jobbing at l3a1311C

at l4c, which is an indication that they

vance in price of other makes. Garner
