New York Dry Goods Market
NEW YORK, March 25.-The jobbing
trade was fairly active, and where conces-
sions are yielded buyers take hold with
alacrity in view Of the lateness of the sea-
son, but with the agents trade has been
backward, and goods having accumulated
on their hands they have been obliged to
make a reduction on certain styles Of
staples and fancy goods, and this has q
demoralizing effect at the moment, for
many buyers are buying very cautiously
in anticipation of more general fall in
prices. Cotton goods and prints are in
large supply, and many styles being of
poor class, decline of another half cent is
expected in conformity with the break in
many brands. Brown sheeting and shifting
have become weak in sympathy with the
decline in cotton, but the Standards are

Nothing but conformity with the general
concession in accordance with the price of
cotton prevents trade from being very live
IL now, as the city is full of buyers. Dress
goods-Shawls and desirable styles i'm
porters goods are in good request, but
buying is more close on all fabrics than
was anticipated. Even on silks the profit
will be less than was expected.
