DRY GOODS.

New York, Jan. 19.-The Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin, in
it's weekly review of the dry goods trade,
says: although there have been no I'M
portant developments in the market here
during the past week in cotton goods, the
tendency has been toward an improved
business, and at the close the general
tone shows a slight gain in cheerfulness.
Buyers have been in very fair attendance,
helping business along somewhat on the
spot at first hands and imparting more
active appearance to the Jobbing trade,
whilst the orders coming to hand by mail
have overrun recent averages. 1t is note
worthy that the gain has been made en-
tirely in the way of small to quite moder-
ate transactions, there being no disposi-
ton evinced on the part of buyers to In
dulge IN fuller Individual operations in
any direction. 1t is clear that the general
run of cotton goods buyers are working
on close stocks and an expanding bust
ness under such conditions is an encour-
aging indication of a considerable dis
tribution in progress throughout the coun-
try. Although more cheerful in senti-
ment, the market is not actually amy
firmer than a week ago.

A Hrrcn N PROCEEDINGS.
Mine Operators Fail to Agree as TO
the Resumption Of work.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 25.-Coal operators
of the Pittsburg district made decided
change in front since yesterday. Internal
dissensions mixed with fear on the part
of some, caused a split IN the forces and
a change Of base.
On its face, the move looked to many ike
a temporary surrender to the United Nine
Workers Of. America. This, however, is
denied by the most prominent lake ship
pers. who say they are going to start
their mines and supply the demand from
the northwest and not stand idly by and
let large volume of business go to op-
orators OF other states. They publicly
state that they are willing TO wait for
a week or ten days before a decided move
is made. They claim that this will give
them ample time TO get the lake trade.
Some of the operators in the meeting
were frank enough to state that the situ-
alton at the present time in all branches
of labor is critical and that they have
no desire 10 make any move that would
cast odium on the operators of the Pitts
burg district. It was under these condI-
tions that the operators went into session
this morning. There were many who had
not signed the agreement to share their
portion toward the expense that might
accrue in the effort to start the mines,
and they were the loudest in the appeals
to hold aloof to await developments. No
agreement could ne reached and the meet
ing adjourned sine die.
In the afternoon another meeting of the
most prominent and largest lake shippers
was held. The session was short, and as
a result the following was issued by the
press committee.
THE organization composed of all the
coal operators, which has been in session
at the Monongahela house adjourned this
morning sine die. This action puts af-
fairs into the hands of a committee ap-
pointed under an agreement which was
entered into and which has since been
ratified ana strengthened by the sigma
lures of a large majority of the railroad
producers Of this district. This committee
is vested with discretionary power to act"
All efforts to find out who composed this
special committee were futile. j. b. Zerbe,
who presided at the meeting, was en-
phatic in asserting that the operators who
had originally gone into the compact at
Cleveland TO break the strike had not
changed their intention. The Cleveland
operators left for their homes tonight.
and it is probable that another meeting
viii be held in Cleveland within the next
few days
Many Of the local operators who took
part in the conference seemed to be in a
good humor.
