New York, July 1.-THE dry goods
market shows unsatisfactory conditions
at the close of the weeks trading The
spot buying has been slow and mail or

all cotton lines there is an absence of

dull. In staple ,cottons there is only a
quiet business passing. Both b,eached
and ibrowni goods are without feature and
coarse coIofed eottons show small sales at
unsatisfactory prices. O. -
