The Dry Goods Market.

The Dry Goods Economist New York
| comments As follows on the market: a
large volume of business has been ef-
fected. mostly for next spring, and the
goods have b.en forwarded TO take ad =
vantage of the low FIRE lights. As the ] OBJ
bers have been pushing their stock to
sale, 1t Is reasonable TO conclude that
immediate requirements have been very
moderate. COMMISSION houses have
been fairly active in making deliveries
on advance purchases for spring. The
sales have been considerably increased
by liberal orders for additional aud new
asso-,memts.
The jobbing houses have had a very
good pickup trade. Stocks have already
been reduced, and they will be brought
still lower before the close of the year.
Cotton has been fairly steady through
the week, and the fact that it has not
declined under the monetary pressure
which has prevailed is proof of its
strength. At the southern markets,
wbe.'>' the receipts have been much freer,
priuss have declined from Lie. to &c. :,
and marketing has been aided thereby.
Staple cotton goods are in q better po-
sitIon than week ago, with the single
exception of extra printing cloths. Col
ored and fancy cottons are we'll sold up,
and for the former prices are frmer.
Dress goods are largely sold to arrive,
and for fine printed fabrics handsome
contracts have been made.
Wool has been quiet in demand, with
light sales and prices firm at previous
figures.
Wooden goods have been in good deliv-
cry on account of spring orders, but 9TH
erwise quiet market has ruled. Blank
els and fiaunels have been in seasonable
order demand, and the general trade is
up 10 expectations.
Underwear and hosiery have been more
quiet in demand, as the production is
largely under the control of buyers.
Fancy knit woolens have had little inter-
est extended.
The linen trade is dullsr than for some
weeks, lull having succeeded the un-
usual activity that has prevailed.
Silk has been passing an anxious
week. Sales are slow, but there Is a
prevalent feeling thar trade will soon
quicken. Imported goods are dull, Us
we are between seasons.
The auction market for the week has
been strong. Desirable goods nave
brought good prices, still it will pay the
trade to attend sales, as many bargains
are caught by regular attendants.
