The aIarket in a NutshelI.

The export trade in cotton goods, says the Dry
Goods Economist New York;. is impr owing
and would increase rapidly If the terms wanted
by the exporters could be granted. But high
priced cotton is in the way. Exporters have
recently made bids to commission houses fof
very heavy quantities OF goods, but most or
these have been put SO low that they could not
be accepted. They want goods at the same
figures paid when cotton was 10c instead of 12c,
as at present.
The talk on printed cloths at Fall River Is
stronger, and there is a prospect that the mar
ket will soon be up again.
Business at Fall River continues full with the
usual 200, GOO piece output.
The strong feature in printed goods is the new
ombre shades which are selling well with the
market steady.
Print mills are already at work on dark fancies
for the fall business. but the patterns are not
ready to show to the trade.
With the jobbsrs, trade is generally quiet,
though one or two houses report good business.
Trade is exceedingly susceptible to the weather
at this time of year, Mohairs are the success Of
the season, and both the foreign and domestic
product are very firm with good demand.
The wool sales of London indicate that foreign
manufacturers must be very busy. In fact, it is
so stated in both letters and cables to the trade
in this country.
Il is rumored that Bradford manufacturers
propose to food the American markets with
worsteds at the low rates of duty, while con-
gress has special bill under consideration to
make all worsteds pay the same rate Of duty as
woolens.
The carpet people are having q fair amount Of
trade, but they continue to be "a good deal con-
cerned about the increase in the duty on carpet
woods The chances now are that some sort of
compromise will be made with the Ohio wool
growers.
The receipts of cotton ct all the shipping ports
for the week ending to-day MAY 81 have been
1850 bales, compared with l9,579 bales last
week, and q, 2O4 bales the same week last year.
Total receipts ct all the shipping ports since
September have been 5. 664 500 bales against
5.409,6H bales the same time last year, and
5, 255, 1853 bales in 1888.
The stocks at all shipping ports amount to
222 900 bales, against 39s, 900 bales for the same
date last year.
