DRY GOODS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The jobbing
+ra6e in dry goods continued to show in
crossing activity, though buyers are not

cotton and wooden goods. Average staple
goods of both classes are well sold up
with an upward look as to prices. Some
are already selling under shortened dis
counts or at value. The market was
without special change or incident.
