NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET

NEW YORK. Nov. THE weather just

business Reports from local and other

that business in the dry goods market
at first hands continues dull In both

Berlin, Dec. 9.-In the Reichstag to-

reply to remarks concerning the tariff
situation between Germany and the
United States, said that the American
congress had some time since adopted
differential duty upon sugar. Ger
many had protested against this and
Mr.. Cleveland did Loyalty all that he

by the American congress is a violation
of the existing treaty. President Cleve-
lands message charging. Germany with
applying diIferential treatment to GER
tain American exports was great sur
prise. He then proceeded to show that
the charges made by the president were
devoid of foundation. The presence of

the American companies would UNDER
