and heavy; South Csfolinas weak. Stocks
weak in sympathy with Pacific Mail, which
was sold down by bears, and also an at
tempt on their part to squeeze money, but
this was failure, money closing easy.
There was less excitement in stocks to-day
and speculation comparatively quiet. Lake
Shore, Northwest, Rock Island, Ohio, and
G. G. and l. G. were the most active; the
latter was the strongest stock on the list,
and purchasers predict for it as great an adj
vance in next year as took place in parallel
line of Fort Wayne after Oct. 1. The st.
Paul road goes into the Indiana Central de-
pot at Chicago, which they claim will large
ly increase receipts. The market closed
dull. --..'-.-...

New York Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The late prevail
ing activity in the general market continues
with undated vigor, and all classes of deal
ers are apparently under full tide of sue
cessful operation. Some styles of cotton
fabrics show tendency to advance. Brown
shirtings and sheetings continue in good
demand for all grades at current asking
rates. Bleached goods present no new fea-
ture, and the market is fairly active at cur
rent quotations. Prints are strong with
an upward tendency. Cotton drills are in
limited demand at current rates. Cotton
fannels are still improving in demand, and
the market is fairly active at quotations.
Wool fannels are active, and desirable
makes are readily placed at asking rates.
Ticks, stripes and checks are in fair request
at current rates. Cloths and overcoatings
of peculiar makes are moving more freely,
and fancy cassimeres of desirable patterns
and textures are in demand, while low and
medium grades, and satinets and Kentucky
jeans, with but few exceptions, are com
paratively stagnant. DOeskins are well
sole up in popular makes. In foreign dry
goods the average days business has been
large and prices continue firm. Silks and
dress goods are in request.
