New York Dry Goods Market.
New YORK., April 2O-The general
trade is rather dull. s1nprices there Is no
radical alteration to observe. In woolens
styles, and good weight have intrinsic
worth, and there Is q gradual hardening
ofprices. Cottons are steady as a rule;
sometime since, the agents Tor, prints and
other staples, entered into an agreement
with 1obbers to maintain their prices for
thirty days, when it was to expire on the
first Of every mOnth,leas discount, but it
would seem this arrangement has not been
kept accOrdingto theintent and meaning
OF the contract, and jobbers are now going
TO notify the agents that they will not
consider It as bindingon them any longer;
in this event we may look for more cut
ting in prices in the future. Heavy brown
sheetings, best makes, steady at irom14iR
