DRY GOODS.
In prints there has been further de-
cline and it has become quite general.
Sprague goods have been reduced to
l3I5c. regular, and they now job at
l3al3L; the Merrimack D, off to 131S
and all others are down to IL except
Dunnells and the Pacific Mills, which
bring 1917, and the Cocheco which COM
mand IA; Amoskeag selling to 121,
and so are Lancaster and Oriental. The
decline in both OF the latter makes,
has forced all the other brands down.
At the present prices the goods can
not be made to pay profit, with gray
clothes at 9A and cotton at SOC at the
mills, but nevertheless there is feel
ing of disposition prevalent and the
market Throughout Is dull for all class
es of goods, but is nevertheless steady.
Spool cotton it is thought, has found
level as stock have become reduced;
prices are firm at 00c for all important
six cord makes, except Orr and Nc
Naughty which sell at SOC; three cord
oHHt al lEyH Enll q a
40a4214c, for popular grades.
MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-The market has become e1-
tremelV easy; ater meredian the offer
ing increased rapidly, and banks and
foreign bankers appeared in the mar
ket as liberal lenders. The rate on call
declined from to 4a5 per cent. among
the stock brokers, while in Govern
ment bonds an amount of loans were
made as low as per cent. Many
bankers and brokers carried over
large balances, being unable to
tend any rate OF interest, and these ex-
treme rates are hardly fair criterioniof
the market, however 1t is accounted for
by the free influx OF currency from the
interior and the increased demand for
foreign exchange, which reIleVeo the
bankers very much; prime business
paper in demand at 7a8 per cent.
STERL1NG-Active,t the decline in gold
having stimulated free purchases on
the part OF importers. Prime bankers

SToCKs.-The market opened strong
and higher. 1t was rumored the Court
had modified the Injunction against the
New York Central and that ~ per cent.
interes. on scrip certificates could be
paid, and prices went up to 164M. In
the afternoon the announcement OF the
reducing of freight to Chicago to 25 per
cent, on heaviest matter had depress-
ing effect on New York Central, which
fell to 1925, taking the whole marker
with it. Pacific Mail went to lO5A.
After the last call there was a hrmer
| feeling and prices recovered, closing
