Dry GOOds-New England had enough rain
the pa Z week to move the idle portion of her
machinery, and the prospect now is that
vim the return of peace In europe and water
In New England, we are nor likely to have
any famine in the dry goods Lrade Hence
those who are sanguing Of securing extreme
prices for all textile works are now begln-
ming to reduce. The Indifferent demand and
an increasing stock do not realize bright an-
t.cipations First class goods feel the effect
OF Jh6 depression, as was experienced in
printing cloths, which have fallen In price
Printed caltCOes are reduced in conformity
with the price of gray cloths. That prints Of
second-class works Will recede to lO5zc is al.
most tOregOne conclusion. but goOd prints
Of choice styles viii sell all Lhrougb NJ m for
fancies. There are few ether goods in the
line OF domestic plain fabrics commanding
anything beyond their intrinsic value
Heavy brown she5tings and brown drills are
cheap enough at l255c, delaines are decidedly
cheap at I6c, and many other fabrics that
could be named in the line of plain sheetlngs
and shlrtlugs, but most grades are higher.
IN artlc OF cOlored cOttons apparently the
assortment Is good, and they are selling at
low rates, especially wooden and ygOrsted
shawls, which ars going more rapidly
into consumption.
