New York Dry Goods Market.
NEW YORK, April 20.--General trade
rather dul, and in prices there is no radical
| alteration to observe. Woolens, staple
styles and good weight have intrinsic worth
and there is gradual hardening in the prices.
Cottons steady as will be for sometime since
the agents of prints and other staples have
entered into an agreement with iobbers to
maintain their prices for so days when es-
tablished on the first Of every month less a
discount, but it seems that this arrangement
has not been kept according to the intent
and meaning OF the contract, and jobbers
are now going to notify the agents that they
viii not consider it as binding on them any
longer. In this event we may look for
more cutting prices in the future. Heavy
brown sheetings, best makes, steady at
from 14d615c, and seconds at 13d614c.
