New York Dry Goods Market
New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE market is
rather inactive. Writers for the daily
press have been misled in reporting trade
active and setting in early. The facts in
the case are jobbers anticipating their
wants bought long lines of staples before
the rise in prices, but the country trade
has not come forward to take these stocks
off their hands, and hence some of them
ge. restless. People in the interior are
generally busy harvesting, and are in no
hurry to anticipate their wants. Trade
will open about a month later, perhaps,
than uiual. September is likely TO bring
active trade at very dull prices so long as
money is easy. Crops are abundant, aud
raw materials remain high. Prices remain
steady and uniform. A repetition of prices
is not necessary.
