DRY GOODS.

New York, July 2S-The situation in dry
goods was to-day practically the same as
yesterday, although there is a continued
hopeful feeling evident and a belief that
in the near future there will be a sub
staptial advance in all cotton goods lines,
as there has been in woolens. Buyers
are arriving in the market in great num-
bers, and seem disposed to buy with some
what more freedom than heretofore, but
in price ideas they are still far behind the
hopes of sellers, and considerable busi-
ness is refused, particularly for future de-
livery at established rates in cotton goods
The wooden goods situation continues
quite satisfactory. with sales of fair pro-
portions at the advance in the prices, and
more new lines being opened daily.

Spirits Turpentine.-It was a lively day
in the spirits turpentine market. Every
buyer was in the market bidding higher
than his neighbor. One prominent firm
who has been doing nearly all of the buy
ing for the past two weeks determined to
outbid all others, and as the price repeat
edly rose Il cent, this firm saw the bid
and went a a cent better. The advance
market to the last sales made after the
close to-day, there was 11a cents a gallon.
At the Board of Trade at the first call at
II O'Clock a. m, the market was bulle-
tined firm at 251a cents, with sales of 632
casks reported. At the last call at o'clock
p. M, the market was bulletined firm at
26 cents, with sales of 800 casks reported.
1t was subsequently reported that there
were sales made after the close at 2612
cents. These sales, of course will be re-
ported at the first call at the Board of
Trade tomorrow.
Rosin-Buyers of rosin had the market
all to themselves to-day. There was too
much excitement in spirits turpentine for
factors to pay a great deal of attention
to rosin. However, there were fairly
large sales at a part decline of 21a cents
a barrel on the common grades, and the
market closed firm.
At the first call at the Board of Trade
the market was bulletined steady and un-
changed, with sales of 405 barrels. At the
last call the market was firm at a part de-
cline of 215 cents on II grade and below
with sales of l ,6+4 barrels. The following
were the quotations at the closing of the
market the BOARD of Trade.
