New York DRY Goods Market.
NEW YORK, March 4--The most i'm
| portant feature in the trade to-day Is a Te-
| duction of a half cent in the price Of
hamilton prints, which now sell at 1O4c.
All TIE leading makes Of prints have suf-
fered decline in price, except Merrimack
d, Pacific and Cochero, and consequently
look for q more lively demand during the
coming week. All things considered, the
price Of staple, cotton and wooden goods
| is in the main cheap enough, but the de-
preston in the cotton market exerts an
unfavorable influence on business Just at
the opening of the spring season. There
are various makes Of cotton goods that
could not be pat upon the market much
lower than at present, even were cotton to
decline cents pound, on account of the
high cost of labor, dyes, etc. The trade
is opening later.
