FORT WORTH. TEX. June "a, 1880.
Business in all retail lines was fairly steady
to-day while wholesale firms report trade good
and, in addition to brisk city trade, good
shipping orders are daily received, while great
many orders are placed personally. The only
changes of note in wholesale grocery uotations
is In sugar, which is &c on all grades. The
general produce markets steady at firm
figures, and there is good demand for all com
modities. Poultry, eggs and butter In bette
supply; figures unchanged.
Trade in cotton goods is of a seasonable vol
streets, and reports from the smaller interior
cities are of good, active distribution. The
demand for fall wear dress goods from agents IS
still feature, while that for seasonabie goods
is as dull as formerly. The jobbing demand at
New York is less active, following last weeks
squirt. At Boston large business is being done
in this line, and the New England iobbing trade
generally is reported as excellent. The tone Of
prices of cotton goods is still fair. Print cloths
hold the slight advances made last week.
Woolens were rather quiet. The strike of 10, 600
cloa kmakers at New York has checked opera
tions in this line somewhat. Dress goods still
exhibit most activity. Mems wear fabrics were
feel the effect of the between seasons, quiet in
demand.
COTTON.
The check given to the downward movement
of prices on the closing day, In New York, of
last week, says Bradstreet's, though quite
sharp one, proves TO have been only OF a tempo
rary nature, and this week has witnessed a re-
turn of the old bearish feeling, with consider
able pressure TO sell on the part of olders. The
moving feature has again been the less favora
bic Liverpool cables, which reported disap-
pointing business doing with Manchester in
actual cotton and the practical refusal of spin
ners to follow prices upward. Aiuing this was
the rather tame character of advlces from do
nestle spinners, who are reported curtailing
produ ction in view of the high rate ruling for
actual cotton compared with the product of the
mills themselves. A fair business for export
was reported but this was not sufficient in itself
to prevent prices OF the actual cotton from SYM
pathizing with the Ac decline in old crop flu
lures up to Thursday night. and the result was
time. Transactions were of light volume in
futures, and less was reported doing In spots.
On the next crop there was less of decline
shown, the practical discounting of recent crop
of character tending to strengthen next sea-
sons prices may be enacted combining to hold
the further positions fairly steady, although
567 points below last weeks close.
Quite covering movement was inaugurated
on Friday on prevention against recent sales.
Prices advanced Il and IA points on this crop
and and points On next season. Spots were
unchanged.
