Dry Goods.

New York. Jan. 14-The Journal of Com merce and Commercial Bulletin, in it's week ly review of the dry goods market says:
 Although there has been no material de- velopment in the volume of the business passing during the week under review, there are some indications at the close of an en- fcouraging character The oppressive out ssiPe influences which have been weighing upon the market show signs of amelation in the unraveling of the political differ ences. and in the more hopeful feeling re- garding the immediate financial outlook As these more than genuine market conditions have recently governed the markets fcourse. the change can with propriety be of improvement, although up to the writing evidences in support thereof are by no means well defined. .~.ss.e ...- ...a

Coon Warnn Morton.

Albany, N. r., Jan. Ex-Governor Morton was waited upon this morning by delegation, headed by Edward c. Coon, and asked to appoint M. M. Null hall of New York city as state factory inspector in place of James Connolly.
 MT. Coon said that the delegation rep resented laboring interests in New York, Brooklyn and Albany.
 The governor stated that the time for making the appointment was somewhat distant, but when he came to consider the matter he would remember Mr. Null halls application.
 MT. Coon then said: Governor, the workingmen are organizing, and are go- ing to cut big figure in the campaign of 1896. We hope you will recognize MT Mulhall's claim for the appoint ment, and that we will be able to say to inquirers: Levi P. Morton, who was elected president in 1896, appointed MT. Mulhall as state factory inspector
 This reference to the governors presi- dential prospects very much amused him. but he simply thanked MT. Coon for his kind words, and the delegation withdrew.

GOED COMING IN.


 Many Inquiries About the Prics of B nds--
 Banks and Citizens Hitherto Holding on
 Now Willing to Bid.
 New York, Jan, 2S,-The treasury's net gold at the commencement of busi- ness to-day was $5O,5s3,51S.
 Up to noon to-day no withdrawals of gold for export to Europe by to-mor- rows steamships had been made from either the sub-treasury or assay office
 The premium on floating" gold-that is, gold obtainable elsewhere than from treasury sources-was quoted at 2s@Fs of per cent. One bullion finn reported that it would be willing to pay E of i per cent. for gold up to $500,OO0. A transaction of $200, 900 at $ of 1 per cent was reported.
 The demand for gold was stated to have improved some owing to the near CT approach Of the final date for the re- ceipt of the bond bids.
 Some banks and individuals who have been uncertain as to whether to bid for bonds or not are reported to have come to a decision as to their course.
 Many of the large down town banks have of late received multitude of in quiries from out of town correspondents asking for information of all kinds in regard to the bond issue. The presi- dent of large bank said this morning that he would be willing to pay a big salary to a, man who could be able to frame satisfactory answers to all the ha Most of the correspondents want to know about the probable lowest price at which they will be able to get bonds, It is generally understood that before the time for the opening of the bids noon of February 5-the representatives ! of the larger local banking interests may get together and agree on some un- form price. Many of the correspond ents of the local banks are already ask ing about what such a unifonm price would be likely to be.
 As it is. nothing yet has been de- cided upon. When 1t is decided 1t is unlikely any formal conference meet ing will be held. One banker may drop in on another and talk matters over The bankers may also meet at their clubs; and out of various informal con- ferences a price at which to enter the bids may be tacitly decided on. In any case New York interests are expected to get large amount of the bonds, some estimates running as high as 75 per cent.
 It was said to-day there was no like lihood of any formal meeting of the bankers unless some contingency should arise, which might result in the secre- tary of the treasury applying by letter to the banking interests for aid.
