NEW YORK, May 11.-Market without
much animation, yet there is little more
doing in styles Of dress goods which are
offered at reduced rates. Dolly Warden
styles, which recently were all The rage,
have become less popular, and being
in ample supply jobbers have found L
necessary to break the price of the least
desirable patterns; suits arc offered att lie,
but some Of the best makes are still held
at l2ic. The printing cloth market has
become less buoyant and prices have
fallen over 1c per yard. The price Is
nominal lot standard cloth, but goods
could be made at profit at 70 II not less,
and there is every prospect that prices
will further decline, In which event the
printers will stock up, and calicos will
once more settle down to figures at
which they can be retailed and handled;
at some profit. Lawns Of the best makes
have been reduced by agents and Iobbers
to l6ic, and Pacific Mills Percales 10 22ic.
Paper Cambrics are reduced to 13c. Some
Of the leading makes Of muslins are re.
duced from ! TO 1c per yard, but are goods
that, perhaps, were held little too high
as most of the staple goods, as a general
thing, remain without much alteration In
price. -a
