NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 15.-1n the dry
goods market the trade is showing the
effects of the good weather In a fuller
number of orders for general lines of
merchandise, and here and there in the
primary market are incipient signs OF
more doing such as have on former oc-
o9sions frequantly proved forerunners
of a general extension of business. There
is less depression in the general tone
but the change does not amount TO cheer
fulness. nor does it prevent sellers IN
most directions from meeting buyers as
readily as heretofore.
