The dry goods market is fairly active, and
we note but few changes in quotations Of
staple goods. The New York Daily Bulletin of
Monday, May :, says:
The trade movement has been generally
slow with the package houses, and transac-
tions were light i'm the aggregate amount,
though good many small orders were re-
ceived by mail and telegraph from distribut-
ing points in the west and south. No uneaSi-
ness is expressed at the present lul in bust
ness, which is attributed to the desire of job
bers to reduce their present stocks on hand
/
The export trade in domestics and prints
continues satisfactory, and il is evident that
merchants and manufacturers are determined
to prosecute this branch of the business with
| increased energy. AD'Ong the shipments
made from this port yesterday was one of 2,0S3
packages OF dOmeSticS to Madagascar, per bark
aGemSbOk."
The jobbing distribution has been light and
somewhat irregular. Prints are moving rath-
er more freely, however, and there is a steady,
| moderate demand for seasonable makes of cot
| ton goods, some Of which are Jobbing at ex-
| tremely low p ices.
Cotton goods have, as a rule, been quiet in
| agents hands, but prices are generally
changed, though in some cases discounts have
| been increased on Ger ain makes of bleached
| goods. etc. There is, however, manifest ten
| dency toward lower prices on some makes of
| brown sheetingS and bleached Shirtings, which
| have not shared in the reductions lately made
| in other goods, and in order to equalize values
some changes Will probably occur shortly.
| Leading makes OF denimS and dyed ducks are
in light stock, and are steadily held at current
quotations.
Prints.-There has been a small hand to-
| mouth demand for light fancy prints from
agents hands, and solid colors bluffs and pinks
are in moderate request. Shirttngs are NOV
ing in small lots to a fair amount, and such is
the case with wide cambrics, cretonnes, etc.
Stocks of fancy prints are generally light, and
production has been so greatly cuftailed that
prints will become comparatively scarce with
in the next thirty days.
The season is approaching for the spring
wool clip and though the market is now in
active, farmers and dealers are watching prices
with considerable sollcitude. The Boston
Journal of Commerce of late date reports as
follows-
The week has been pretty air one in this
market, and prices have kept Just about the
same o T 6o aggregate sales show falling off Of
extraordinary good one), but are about up to
the late averages. The stock of Xxx wool is
come into request, at full prices, before the
close of the month. There is not much change
in Australian wool. 1t will probably be all
wanted here. More shipments are on the
way. Some very handsome Cape wool is
| shown, probably the best ever brought here,
and following closely after Australian wool in
the length of staple and quality. Pretty high
| them.
