NEW Y DIRK, April 16-ln dry goods little
or no change to notice in the features of the
market. Business with jobbers continues
moderately active at steady and firm prices,
but with agents the trade is rather quiet,
while prices are very firm in sympathy with
raw materials. The market on the whole
presents a healthy aspect, for without hustle
or excitement a fair amount of goods are
going into the channels of trade at uniform
rates. Printing cloths have been literally
dealt in all season on speculative account
and have commanded extreme prices owing
to the meagre supply available at
any time. But few spot goods
can be secured now below &c, and
large contracts for future delivery have
been made ahead at Sc, if not more in
prints. consequently there is little or no
margin at liz or lie, at which best makes
are selling, while Dolly Vardens command
123613c. Percales, lawns and organizes,
in good styles, continue in good request at
full previous rates. Printed delaines seem
to have gone entirely out of fashion, while
mixtures, alpacas, Dolly Vardens and lus-
tres have taken their place, and meet with
ready sale at from % to 275c plain, and
colOred cottOns are steady and in good re-
quest.
