NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. October AIN the dry
goods market the week opened under re-
stricted conditions The occurrence or en-
other Jewish holiday on Wednesday, with
the consequent assurance that the week
will be a broken one, seems 10 nave led
both sellers and buyers TO rest on their
oars. The trading OF the DAY was quiet
in nearly all lines. In certain grades Soods
Were uGCI0GuiA weak Iiihi-Ni'Atio ~
the same dulness as heretofore, and the
market is easier Prints are generally
quiet and firm Woollen goods, i'm botn
mems wear fabrics and dress goods are
the strong factor in the situation, though
the advancing market for raw WOODS
gives manufacturers small margin on
which TO operate. although prices are
quite firm. Silks are still very strong, ana
are selling on the whole better than any
other goods. Knit goods, underwear. ana
hosiery are very irregular the prices now
prevailing being entirely inadequate 10
insure a profit for manufacturers.
