NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET

NEW YORK. May 19-The Journal Of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin In
it's weekly review Of the dry goods mar
ket to-day says
The dry goods market this week has
BEEN on the whole of a disappointing
character. There has been a lack Of
sustained demand in quarters where re-
cent buying has been good. and no de-
velopment of activity I'm other directions
IL is quite evident that the buyers have
not as yet mustered UP courage enough
in any department OF the market to 60
ahead of near requirements. except at
decidedly low prices, and beyond abso-
mtely necessary business they are easily
checked by any accession of firmness on
the part Of sellers. In cotton dress
fabrics there has been quiet regular
trade. with some sales Of volume at low
prices. The woollen and worsted goods
division has been dun, with 10 new tea-
ture of moment.
