DRY GOODS MARKET.
Yesterday trade was extremely dull
and to-day there is but little improve
ment. There is feeling of dullness
and depression existing everywhere
although prices of goods are reduced
below The actual cash price. The fol-
lowing are the most important changes
In staple styles of cotton goods to. day:

duced to 1Oc; Gilbon A sheeting at 111zci

cottonades at Sic for dark styles.
MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-Somewhate easier; some par
ties who had virtually Withdrawn their
funds from the market for few days,
having become free lenders. Early in
the day coin interest paid, but in the
afternoon free offers were made at per
cent currency. and in some few cases
nk
was more inquiry for prime business
notes, which pass at z per cent.

bankers. Produce bills are still scarce,
but bond bills are plenty.

and closed at 1S556al35A, Rates tor
carrying 1872 and 6alO per cent. The
departure of the Cuban expedition had
no effect on the market.
GOVERNMENT SToCKs-Quiet and
steady; offerings were unusually light,
and American and foreign bankers
take what are offered without bidding

SToCKs-The stock market, with slight
exceptions, has been extremely heavy
all day, and prices are all lower. Wa
bash, Northwestern and Michigan
Southern were exceptions to the general
were particularly weak and New York
Central sold down to 170S, from which
there was a final rally of about per
cent. Doubt as to the ultimate fate of
the Central scrip and consolidation at
Albany is the ostensible cause of the
heavy decline, but 1t Is known that
many influential operators have sold
out their stocks and gone short for a
bear campaign. The market finally
closed weak and unsettled. Miscella-
neous shares have been comparatively
steady. Express shares neglected.
