they are mistaken.

DRY GOODS.

New York, Nov. 16.-The week in the
dry goods market opens but with mod
crate attendance of out-of-town buyers
and a quiet spot market In all divisions
Business arising from orders through the
mail has, however, been up to the recent
average in both staple cottons and prints
and other cotton dress fabrics. Cotton
goods agents have to-day been reporting
the results of the last week, and these
show that, although buyers were almost
uniformly conservative in their opera
tons, their aggregate purchases have
made up an exceedingly good total. Some
houses have recorded the best single
weeks business this year. The market
shows active shipping operations in prog
ress, so many of last weeks purchases
having been made for immediate delivery.
The course of the market for raw mate
rial and the condition of the print cloth
have neither been favorable or unfavor-
able, but they have not affected the tone
here. Sellers are still firm, and prices are
well maintained. In the wooden goods
division conditions are unchanged quiet
business passing at previous prices.

the tone quiet. If receipts continue in

postponed. The crop estimate of S,o22,O0

''Our market opened at Saturdays close

fifteen minutes and remained barely
steady at the decline throughout the day,
closing at a gain of to points over
the loss. The receipts for the past two
days have been very much in excess OF
all expectations, and the bears, for the
moment, seem to have everything in their
favor. 1t is impossible for us to convince
the foreign trade that our crop is short
so long as receipts continue so large, but
just as soon as they begin to show a de-
| cline the foreign bears will be the first
| to turn buyers, and a good rally will fol-
| low. We recommend purchases around

! fies the large receipts, which we are
| firmly convinced it does not, and that a
| sharp advance will take place the moment
/ receipts fall off"
