There has been no change in the cotton
market since our last report worthy oil special
mention. Receipts continue light and what
remains unsold throughout the country trib-
utary TO Fort Worth is in scattering lots ana
finds It's way to market in detachmcnts.
The dry goods market continues unchang-
ed, and the jobbing trade is little Irregular
on account of the hand to mouth policy pnr-
sued by retail dealers. The Martlh-browh
Company shipped IA few nll-h oruers Oh
staple goods yesterday, and MADE some soou
sales of boots and shoes.
There is little change TO note IN
the grocery market except the advance
on coal oil. Meats of all kind continue hrm,
with an upward tendency. Yesterdays ag-
gregated sales were satisfactory TO wholesale
dealers and show considerable increase ever
sales Tor the same day in 1888. IN TINS issue
will be found a corrected price list OF queens
ware crockery and glassware, TO which we
call the attention of retail dealers VINO carry
