DRY GOODS MARKET.
The market is generally steady at the
recent decline, and there Is an improved
inquiry for all staple fabrics suited to
the season, although the trade Is far
from being active or satisfactory. The

MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-Was in moderate demand
during the forenoon at coin interest on
government bonds and per cent. cur
rency, with commissions OF 1872 on
stocks. In the afternoon the market,
as yesterday, worked easier, and before
8 o'clock capital was plenty at per
cent. currency. Some banks report an
increase OF receipts of currency from
the interior. Some uneasiness has been
caused by reports that the District At
torney Is gathering evidence concerning
loans made above the legal rate, with a
view Of enforcing the provisions of the
usury law. Commercial paper dull at
10R13M per cent.

SToCKs-The market during the
morning was generally steady. New
York Central and Rock Island were eX-
ceptions, and showed unusual activity
the former ductuated between 1853
and 164X, while the latter was very
strong on renewed reports OF scrip
dividend. In the afternoon the mar
ket was somewhat irregular, with wide
fluctuations in the leading stocks. The
features on the bull side were an ad-
vance of Rock Island to 134, Ft. Wayne
preferred to 3SX. The principal change
on the bear side was the fall Of New
York Central to 162H, with intense
pressure to sell. The report was cur

woven with the Broadway Railroad

fail. The market generally left of dull
