New York Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK, Aug. I5.-The general
market shows no improvement in activity
over the early days fthe week. The con-
tinued heat Of the weather has much to do
with the dizziness; but few transaction are
occurring worthy to note in any of the
branches of trade. Brown sheetings and
shirtings continue in moderate request, but
few sales however, are reported for the day
excepting in standard grades. Bleached
goods are without any new features, and
transactions for the moment are on very
limited scales. Cotton drills continue dull
but still held at firm rates. Cotton fam
nels are being better to-day. Some fair
lines have been placed at slight reduction.
Wool fiannels are still moving quite freely
at late quotations. Cloths and Cassimeres
are inactive and but little enquiry is mani
tested, excepting for specialties of foreign
dry goods. The German houses are doing
some business in three fourth plaids. But
the general market is decidedly dull. d
