DrYgoOds Market.

NEW YORK. April 9.-Jobbers are having
fair trade in drygoods, which is expected to
continue on fair scale for the remainder OF
the season. JoDbers are looked for in printed
goods and possibly fabrics for special attrac-

shape. and job lots are not very plentiful in any
direction. An auction sale of low grade white
goods took place, with very poor results for
sellers. Nothing was expected of it, however.
because goods of that grade have not been very
salable for two years past.
