Dry Goods.

New York, Jan. 1.-The Journal of Com merce and Commercial Bulletin in it's week. ly review of the dry goods trade says:
 f'Fhe primary market for cotton goods, some spring specialties excepted and for all lines of woolen goods has been. decidedly dull during the past week. The attend ance of buyers has been restricted and mail orders indifferent. In staple cottons the tone continues easy at first hands, with ir- regularity in prices still feature. The limits are, however, hardly lower than a week ago. as sellers in the absence of de- mand and well defined apathy Of buyers are not pressing stocks upon the market. Neither are woolen goods of any descrip- eXnreiein% o,, ia,e .l.e % sii.r i clining them to await developments before making pronounced efforts to reach further buyers. Prices as a natural result are steady.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-The prominent factor in the wheat market today was the South African question and the strained relations between Germany and Great Britain. New Workers were buying in this market, and local professionals of the influential sort were arrayed on the long side or were cov- ering short stuff. The tone of the market was extremely nervous and responsive to every scrap of bull news, whilst the offer ings were not of a character to cause much of an impression. The clearances at Allan tic ports were large (693,6l9 bushelsl, the inference being that the wants of Europe were urgent. Early quotations of British consols were 9-16d lower, but later reports to the effect that the decline had been re- covered were received. Continental markets confirming the belief in serious political difficulties. The strength of the market was more marked at. the close, about which lshed.

The trade assumed quite re- .spectable, proportions, many shorts cover ing and in some instances, going long of the market. May corn opened at 281tc and ad- vanced to 2S7sc, where it closed 13m5sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was 40
 Oats rallied with wheat and corn, a good business being transacted, commission men displaying greater activity than for long time. St. Louis was reported as buying in considerable short oats, the foreign stua- ton prompting the action. May oats closed 1bc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were firm and 14@Ac per bushel higher. .ss... =
 Provsons-Products were in declining mood until well along in the session. when, owing to the strength exhibited by grain and to the high tension of European poli- tics, the sentiment changed, a fair recov- cry taking place. The early course of the market was due to a heavy run of hogs and a decline in their price. Yesterdays buy CTS were the best sellers this morning. At the close May pork was 15c under yester- day, May lard and ribs each 5c lower. Domestic markets were quiet and easy

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.


 New York Jan. (Special)-The cotton market was quite active today, but it was at the expense of values. Liverpool gave us no encouragement. and March, after opening at 500, gradually declined to 19o The close was barely steady, with 7.91 bid for March, The unsettled financial situa- ton, the gathering war clouds abroad and the growing fear that the south will in crease it's cotton acreage and use more fertilizers than, ever before, combine to render holders uneasy, and the prevailing feeling here seems to be that prices will go lower Yet all recognize the fact that cot ton at cents is not dear and that many things are liable to occur which would cause a sudden and lively advance, The bears indulge in short sales with evident trepidation, and hasten to accept any profit they can get. The squaly aspect of the row between England and Germany was the special cause of the weakness at the close today.

 New York, Jan. 47e+Speculatiorf. at the stock exchange was nervous and irregular today. Business was on a smaller scale, 262 156 shares, against 314,408 yesterday There was an approach to demoralization at the opening, owing to the lower cables from London, the execution of stop loss or ders and sales by local commission houses The break in the active issues at this time apsfd fro m a9 d he e and the international isues leading. Some of the specialties which are rarely dealt in scored even heavier losses on light dealings The decline in the general market was checked in the first hour strong houses having turned up as buyers of the standard ly bought literally of St Paul and other in- ternational issues The foreign buying of ing it at fully lOOOo shares. The local short interest, which has become quite heavy of late because of the bond issue development and the uncertainty which 1t is thought must exist in financial circles until the mat ter is finally settled, became alarmed at the London and commission houses buying and endeavOred to cover. The result was a. rise anywhere from to SA per cent.

decidedly detrimental to the cotton trade. Then some of the southern spot markets were weaker Liverpool closed lower, Lam there was not much spot demand appa- rent in this country. If we look at the crop movement the situation is bullish, allowing that the estimated receipts at New Orleans tomorrow are rather liberal. On the other hand, if we consider the political and the financial situation it must be owned that merchants regard it as threatening, and therefore prejudicial to business interests.

Last night about 7:30 o'clock, those of our citizens who were out doors were treated to beautiful display ot natures fireworks. An extremely brilliant meteor, with a tail appar ently a hundred yards long, passed upward and across the heavens.

For fully three minutes after the explosion the tail remained in sight, was greatly ad' mired, and pronounced one of the most brilliant displays ever witnessed Tucson Citizen
