THE NEW YORK DRY GOODsMARKET
--LATEST REPORT By T~KLEGRAPH.l


NEW YORK, June EN- the dry
goods market business for the most part
is so dull between seasons that the price
Of the staple or raw products does not
affect prices IN most kinds of dOmestics.
Printing cloths are frmer, and quota
tons for spot goods can scarcely be
given, owing to the difference in the
ideas of buyers and sellers; SIC for fu-
lures into October has been offered for
both extras and standards, and refused.
a very brisk trade is doing in cotton
bags; West and Starks are quoted 1c
better. Hall & Manning's spool 3-cOTd
thread is quoted at 40c; other descrip-
tons are unchanged. Foreign goods are
slow Of sale, but importers are firmer in
their views in regard to the present
stocks in warehouse. At auction ladies'
cambria handkerchiefs were brisk of
sale, as were also black gros grain and
the best fancies and white. In silk
ribbons, black gros grain ribbon No. 8,
81 SO; No. u, - so; No. IS, 81 65;

This wonderful vegetable restorative
is the sheet-anehOr Of the feeble and
.d%cbilItated. As a tonic and cordial for
the aged and languid, it has no equal
among stOmachles. As a remedy for the
nervous weakness to which women are
especially subject, it Is ~superSeding
every other stimulant. In all climates,
tropical, temperate or frigId. it acts as a
specific in every species of disorder
which undermines the bodily strength,
and breaks down the animal spirits.
