New York Dry Goods Market.

The market for cotton goods is nomjnslly
sCsady so far As prices are concerned, but the
protracted dizziness renders it more easy for
short time buyers to obtain price concessions or
advantages in the way of extra discounts on
some makes of goods from first hands, although
closely sold up. Standard sheetings and fiue
and medium grades OF bleached shirtings are
firmly held by the agents. There is a fair pack
age demand by western and southern iObbers
Tor medium effects and shirting styles, but the
piece distribution lacks animation, in clnse-
quence of the dullness of the retail branches.
Percales and cambTics are in liberal req nest.
Shawls.-Many of the manufacturers are busily
engaged in the manufacture OF spring styles,
bnt indications point TO an unusually light sup
ply, a. the traffic in these goods for the last few
seasons has not been very encouraging TO pro-
dUcers. Hoslery.-SOme of the agents report a
