GAZETTE OFFICE,
FORT WORTH, TEX, March 5, 1885.
Wholesalers and retailers have been
favored with good days trade to-day,
with fair prospect Of an increased
volume throughout the week.
Commenting on the recent dIop in quo
tations for print cloths, late humber OF
the New York Journal Of Commerce says {:
The decline in the price of printing
cloths, which manufacturers were ad-
mopished of at the time the advance WIS
made would result through the competi-
tion 1t would provoke and the desire OF
owners Of cloths at 8 lower cost to resliz :
profit on the cloths rather than take the
risk on prints, is but the repetition OF
the cid story. Tie higher prices
stopped many print ng machines, and
while the market Tor prints has been
strengthened, that for cloths has been at
fected adversely. The pric Of cloths or
dinsrilY would affect the prices Of bleach
ed or brown cottons of similar weight
and count, but as such goods have not
been nor in supply of moment, neither
did prices share in the topmost price for
cloths, 1t is not natural that tie formf T
would sympsthize with the latter although
buyers may reason to the contrary.

cidedly weak during almost the entire
time, The market was fevsrish through

Slles were made at concessions extend
ing 10 per cent, but during the early
trading the list showed stubborn resist
Gnce to the pressure, which caused some
slight advances. The list soon began to
yield, however, aud while the losses were
confined to fractions Ia most cases until
O'Clock, the business done showing
marked decrease after IL O'Clock, firm
tone marked the dealings for the rest Of

became dull, but the close was quiet and
steady at something better than the low

Railroad nds were quiet and though
the market sympSthiztd to q limited ex-
tent in the weakness displayed in the
share list, the losses sustained were gen.
orally for fractions only and many issues
showed considerable strength, especially
in the latter part Of the day, leaving the
