NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, May l7.-Dry Goods-The spring
trade 10 now about over nd the stock OF
staple fabrics has not only held their prices
pretty well, but are sold close up, az least
there Is no surplus stock to carry. dress
goods in fancy styles, however, are being
closed out, as rs usual toward the end OF tba
season, at reduced figures. WoOlen fabrics
not much sought after at present, but light
styles adapted TO the wants of ciothiars DOS
segsing any desirabiuty are selling to a fair
extent a. gond enough prices Is is almost
certain nat heHVy WOolens for the autumn
trade VIII open high, on account Of the mes-
gre supply OF Onerlugs, and extreme prices
prevail for raw material. Printing cloths
continue firm, and the demand exceeds the
supply but it l. speculative among The rich
printers VINO endeavOr once In while to
grind small ones 10 dust. That cloths can be
produced at 51zc is beyond a doubt, and 40
prints wiz cost over &c TO produce, while
many VIII rot cost over 25zC; so in any event
printers can't very well force up prices be-
yond the present rates, at least II they no
sales viii drag. Heavy brown sheetings are
oppressed aJ lie for light weight, and llZMl2c

from previous rates.
