 Dry Goods.
 New York, Feb. 13--The dry goods mar ket opened after the holiday under depress- ing sweather infuencess Shipping gopera- tions were also interfered with to some ex- tent and the wholesale district presented a quiet appearance. There was, however, a considerable general business arising from orders coming to hand through the mails. in which bleached cottons on the new price figured prominently. The development of improved internal conditions In the market so far has made only modified progress. but sellers are hardly disappointed thereby.
