DoMEsrtc GooDs.-operations in staple
cotton goods were continued on liberal
scale to-day by package buyers, and there
was q moderate movement in prints and
dress goods, but business generally was
reputed light by the commission houses.

active in all departments, and the aggre-
gate distribution Of seasonable goods, II
not quite up to expectations, was at least
fairly satisfactory in volume.

'mand for brown and bleached cottons at
first hands, and colored cottons were in
improved request, Prices are very firmly
maintained by agents, aud there is no
pressure 70 sell large quantities even at
the lately advanced quotations. Stocks Of
brown cottons have undergone a marked
reduction within the last few days, and
many leadtng makes are sold ahead for
weeks TO come. The supply OF bleached
cottons Is also exceptionally light, and
with few exceptions) wide sheetiugs are
sold to arrive. Denims are very firmly
held, and some popular makes will prob
ably be advanced very shortly. Marseilles
and-crochct quilts continue in good re-
quest, and most OF the leading makes are
now held atan advance offron 5 10 u per
cent upon quotations current short time
