FLOUR AND GRAlN.-Ihe HlaIhcI ioi
-four and grain is exceedingly dull, and
prices continue to show downward
tendency. Farmers do not care to sell at
present quotations, nor won't only when
compelled to do so from necessity, while
BUYERS have no inclination to urge sales.
The provision market continues active
and prices advancing.
Butter and eggs continue dull,
The dry goods trade indicates an i'm
provement and will continue to do so.
The New York Bulletin of Monday speaks
as follows:
There was frcer movement of staple
cotton and wooden fabrics in package lots
and an increased animation was noticed
in points, dress goods, hosiery and fan
nels.
The market for cotton goods presents
no features of noteworthy interest. Cot
ton fannels, grain bags standard tick
ings and Cheviot stripes are most active,
but there is also u steady demand for
bleached and brown cotton, corset Jeans,
&c, in moderate parcels.
Some improvement has at length be-
come discernible in the demand for
piece selections from jobbers stock, and
some of the larger houses are making
sales TO an increased amount, while orders
from the interior are arriving in fair
volume. a feeling of marked caution Is
noticeable however, and thus far the
hand-to-mouth policy has been strictly
adhered to.
Wooden goods were quiet to-day, eX-
cept flannels and the most desirable
STYLES Of fancy cassimereS and worsted
coatings, of which fair selections were
made by clothierS, cloth and dry goods
iohherS There was also moderate m
ouirv for rcpellents, but buyers are exact
inc ms to prizes, and are not satisfied to
nav even the present low ruling prices.
PRINTs-Side-ba band styles continued in
brisk demand for both package and piece
lots. and deliveries were made on account
of former orders to a large amount. Dark
fancies. with real small figures or stripes,
ON black or dark ground, were In far re-
quest. and side-band mourning were IN
demand. The Pacific Mills have intro
duced n very neat and tasteful! dark side
band, style 7,549, which is received with
favor.
Hosiery was in better request. Shirts
and drawers and ladies underwear were
taken more freely by the Western and
Southern trade, and wool and fancy no
siery showed considerable improvement.
Car'lgan Jackets, scars, nubiaS and other
knit goods were in better demand.
