The New York Dry Goods Market.
The New York Herald Of the 18th says
"rhe dry goods market Is very quiet. the prin-
cipal business being preparations for taking
the annual account Of stock, and there will be
little movement till the LIST Of February. In
many ranches Of business there has been a
good deal Of activity late in the season,
especially in the leading makes of bleaehed
and brown goods. No feature of the market
calls for special attention at present, but
there are probabilities that plain cot
tons will advance with the reopen
ing Of trade. The general wooden mar.
ket has been very qCiet, and as lghJ
weight wOolens heve been bought to a consid-
cradle extent by elOtbiers, there Is not much
chance for any considerable movement in the
future. Importers are doing but little in win
ter goods, and it Is too early yet 70 consider
spring styles. The total imports OF the year
are twenty per cent In excess Of last year,
bat as the quality of the imports is higher,
this does not suppose the same increase In
bulk"
