popular makes of corset jeans and satteens are
in strictly moderate supply. Low priced grain
bags continue in steady demand, but the bet

are more inquired for, and are held at an adj
vance upon prices current at this time last
year.
Prints-There has been limited demand
for medium and light fancy prints from
agents hands, and considerable Quantities of
low priced fancies were distrtbuteu in package
and piece lots by the leading jObbers. There
was continued inquiry for dark fancy staple
prints, but transactions were checked by the
light supply offering at prices which buyers

The market for woolens has exhibited no
new features of Importance to-day. The cur
rent sales were moderate in the aggregate
amount, but the deliveries on account of pre-
weeks business footed up liberal total.
The traffic OF the week among manufactur-
scriptions of standard fabrics, and there was
an important increase in the volume of trade
in This connection, with indications of a fur

made by agents TO a considerable aggregate.
We have no changes to note in the wool
market. Receipts are fair and prices slow.
The New York market was reported as follows
by the Daily Bulletin of the 10th:
The situation of the market In general way
does not greatly change. A scarcity of attrac-
rather dull shape, and for many grades leaves
values to a certain extent nominal; but on the
whole the current undertone is pretty strong
one, and dealers incline to the belief that when
they get something to work with a very
good business can be done for a short time at
turers are known TO be quite short, and must
handle some material to keep machinery in
motion, to supply which it is calculated many
of the early receipts will find ready sale.
Choice clips of fine woods and offerings aver
aging full on combing are talked of with most
confidence, though there Is steady fear that
tail supplies when they are required, hold
them until consumers are driven off, and
n, a
ket, come in with such rush as to
break down the rate to an unreasona
bly, low figure. We learn that a great many
buyers are now at the west, but not submit
ting to the extreme views of farmers, which
range as high as 40045c for Ohio, with inside
figures probably as high as has been paid. A
few samples of new Ohio are here, but not
enough as yet to make a market value. For
present wants buyers are still dependent large
ly upon the stock of California. The transac-

The produce markets have been fairly active
during the week, with good demand for eggs
and poultry at our quotations. The New York
market was reviewed follows by the Daily
Bulletin of Monday, 18th Instant:
Eggs.-Receipts to-day 2,4S6 bbls. Moderate
orders only are received, and generally buyers
are in careful mood, which prevents the
handling of stock beyond the immediate
wants of the day. Holders, however, have
the advantage of small Accommodations and re-
ports from the interior indicating continued
light shipments, and full rates are quite gener
ally insisted upon. Some OF the arrivals from
extreme points have run poorly in quality of
ate. Today holders IDEAS are up to lSc for
choice western, and the close pretty firm all
around.

We have no change to note in wool. The
New York Daily Bulletin of Wednesday COM
ments as follows:
As the season progresses and the marketing
of the new clip assumes more decided form,
there is naturally an increase OF interest ali
around and at present there Is also apparent
an undertone of a somewhat feverish charac-
one as admitted by both buyers and sellers,
and the ruling range of values comparatively
low; two important features which, on the
one hand, tend TO induce an inclination to-
ward buoyancy, and reasonably free purchases
of desirable supplies as they may come upon
sale. On the other hand, however, the condi-
ton of the goods trade can not be overlooked,
and Is considered.a strong neutraliZing inhu-
ence against extravagant ideas on price of
woods. There is money in woolens," ofcourse,
and a great many manufacturers have done
very fairly during the past year, notwith-
standing com plants TO the contrary; but the
margin was small, and every attempt made to
secure a wider line of profit had tendency
to drive of buyers, and frequently lose
their orders altogether. Indeed, consumers,
to large extent, are the controlling power,
and the prices obtained for fabrics have TO be
duly and closely considered I'm determining
