BLANKETS AT AUCTION.
Peremptory Trade sale of e5sI Cases at
New York.
Prices Realized for standard Makes and
the Principal Buyers.

NEW YORK, September 5.-The feature
OF the dry goods market to-day was the
peremptory trade sale of blankets at auc-
ton by Wilmirding, Hoguet & Co., per
order of Mitchell Bros, manufacturers
agents, the offering comprising the balance
OF production much below those OF the
agents. Beyond the fact that so large a
quantity of goods was distributed in five
hours, is the more important one OF prices,
which were much better than anticipated
by the purchasers. No large quantities
were secured by any one. With the pol
icy of the buyers 50 exceedingly conserva-
tive, and considering that the auctions are
not expected to realize the prices of
agents, the verdict of the trade is, the sale
is success; and not least in this is that it
forces the value Of merchandise. The net
results show a large loss to the manufac-
turers, but, compared with the eXpecta-
tions of buyers, it is ten per cent. better
than outlined. With the close of the sale
there was general feeling Of satisfaction
expressed by purchasers that it had gone
off SO well. In the general market there
is better tone as result, and at jobbing
hands large trade is in progress. The
offering in the great sale to-day was as
