Dry Goods.

The following notes of interest to the trade ale
culled from the Dry Goods Economist New
York; of Saturday last The volume of bust
ness for the week just ended completed shows
no increase over that of last week. The patient
waiting policy of the past two months has not
been properly rewarded and is becoming tire
some. Unexpected happenings have been toe
frequent. The apprehended damage from foods
noted week ago did not materialiZe, but there
has been no improvement in the demand. With
lew exceptions values have ruled exceedingly
steady, still want of confidence is too fire.
quently expressed. "I'n watt means much
more than is spoken.
in moderate demand for the most popular quail
ties. The trade rarely comes to a stand, but
during the week it has moved very slowly, and
the larger portions OF the sales have been reached
through deliveries on former purchases. Light
weight brown goods, or Eve yards and above,
have been in lesSened demand by converters and
bleachers, and stocks are growing The heavier
goods have done better, but the market has been
wanting in activity. Colored goods have been in
light request. Medium and low grade bleacbed
goods have been in lessened demand. Stocks OF
staple cottons therefore are not as well cond1
toned as a week ago. The high price of cotton
has held the goods market up. and that 1t has
not been advanced is evidence that the demand
has not been equal to the supDly-the best illus
tration being furnished by the growing stocks
and declining prices for printing cloths.
Manufactures of wool have been in poor de-
mand at unsatisfactory prices. Clothing wool
ems and soft wool dress goods have had irregu-
lar attention with moderate sales, except as job
ansactions. Manufacturers of goods of mixed
materials are doing better than those using
wool only Attractive goods at prices within
the reach of the millions have been sold freely.
The preparation OF stocks of winter clothing OF
such goods does not outline a healthful trade
for next season. The character of the demand
for spring clothing in connection with the car
ried-over stocks of winter clothing continue to
restrict the engagements of heavy goods, and
many looms are idle for want of orders.
