The Dry-GoOds Trade.

NEW YORK. April 2s.-ln TIE dry
goods market business has hardly reach
ed the proportions OF the past few days.
The spot demand has ruled quieter for
staple lines OF cotton goods, and the
mail-order demand has hardly made
amends for this. In several quarters
agents report that their manufacturers
have raised their selling limits. Some OF
them express determination to carry
unsold stocks rather than let them out
AT the prices which buyers offer. In
cotton-dress goods there Is generally
Quiet market az first hands, but BY
means of drives there has been a good
dlstribution by jobbsrs OF both printed
