THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The business of
the week in dry goods was excellent, for
the between seasons period values showed
u hardening tendency. Important or
ders in cotton and wooden dress goods,
shirtings, hosiery, ETC., were given,
while there was good movements from
agents ana mills. Jobbers have had
fair trade. Imports of foreign dry
goods at this port for the week ending
last evening was only 81, $40 ,652, nearly
81 500, 900 less than the preceding week,
and $40, 355 less than the corresponding
week last year. The marketed goods tor
the week aggregated 81, 743 ,276, an ex-
cess of S172 1924 over imports.
GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The stock mar
ket to-day clearly demonstrated the in
dependence of the manipulation of the
street from any and all circumstances
which ought ligitimately to have q bear.
ing upon the real values of secureties. 1t
has been known for some days that the
bank statement would show further
decrease in the surplus reserve, which
for the last two or three months have
been q sufficient warrant for raid upon
the list, but the temper of the street is
so completely changed that notwith-
standing loss in reserves of over S.
900 900 and complete wiping out of the
surplus. the market to-day was strong
from the start to finish, closing with
material gains in many stocks with the
fret sales, aud before the end of the first
half hour gains Of from = to "a per
cent. had been established North Amer
lean leading in the upward movement.
Later there was partial reaction, but the
advance was soon resumed and the
bank statement when issued had no
more than passing influence upon the
course of quotations. The advances
were very uniform in the active stocks,
but the pronounced improvement was in
Citizen . gas OF Brooklyn, which, after
retiring TO 81, rose 10 l033s, closing at
100, gain Of 2 per cent. for the day.
The final changes, with the exception
noted, were for fractions only, but
almost invariably in the direction of
higher prices. ..sssszissaz
