DRY GOODS.


BradstreetS.
The market is quiet, with conditions not
materially changed. The lower cost Of
raw cottons tends to weaken buyers
views regarding the finished fabric, and
trade is dull. Brown goods are very slow,
while bleached are taken Conservatives
Print cloths are dull, but held about stea-
SLOW way to meet pressing needs. Cling
hams are dull and featureless. Plaids of
all kinds go well, While outing cloths and
other mapped goods are also good sellers
at present. Dress goods are ordered fair
ly for shipping but present business is
quiet. Men swear Woolens are also well
sold ahead on first orders. but few re-or-
ders are coming along as yet. Woolens
are generally firm.
NEW YORK, November 6.-The close of
the week finds continued unsatisfactory
CONDITIONS in the dry goods market. I'm
mediate results are not encouraging and
mainufacturers refuse to gloss over the
evils OF the situation, even when it is
urged that the prospects for 1898 trade
are very bright. The print cloth report is
very discouragfng. The sales Of the week
have been only $4,000 pieces of which
but I0VOO sixty-four squares al the alb
normally low price of 5-16c now prevail
ing. The same dullness is reported local
Iy in cotton lines. Buyers don't visit the
market in large numbers and mail orders
are scant. Both brown and bleached goods
are sold slowly and coarse cOlored cottons
are without feature. Prints and ginghams
show no Improvement and the business
passing is in the shape of spring trad
ing for hsirtings and the like. Even in
Woolens the market is quiet, the buying
heavy weights being still withheld. while
recorders are small.

There has been rather more business
this week, due in part to some concessions
in price made on territory woods. Some
bids trifie below the market have been
accepted, while others at the same price
were refused. Fleece woods are firm. and
combing woods at present available in Bos-
ton and Philadelphia have been taken by
manufacturers at zoe for washed For Xxx
and above Ohio 29c has been obtained. and
Boo in quoted for this wool with delaine
left in. Fine and medium fieeces are now
ruling close together on prices. Territory
fine medium and fine woods, secured, are
still quoted on the basis of soc, but some
large lots have been sold at a concession
from this figure. Australian woods hold
firm, the price obtained being yet below
importing cost. Melbourne advices are
strong. Next London sale begins Novem-
Der Is. Carpet woods are firm, and on
many low duty woods the price is up to
the importing cost.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

Stocks.-There was somN natural ten.
dnncy towards recovery in prices at the
opening to-day in view OF tn heavy and
rather excessive declines OF yesterday,
and of the active covering mGtemeht in
progress at the close of the maAet yes
terday. There had been recoveR- in the
prices of Americans on the Lonton ex-
exchange before the opening here The
opening there showed declines u the
New York parity, but the level vas
sharply above the New York level by he
time the market opened here. rms e.
couraged purchasers here and a numpe
of stocks opened over point h1gher imam
last nights close. The London market
for Americans has grown SO narrow and
the floating supply of stocks there IS so
small that prices there are easily SUBJECT
to manipulation for effect on the OPEN
ing trading here. There seemed ground
for suspicion that this mornings rise in
London was due to some such effect from
this side. AT all events, the rise which
was thus stimulated here led to quick TAX
ing of profits and to some further llqul-
dations of long account, carrying prices
below last nights level They hardened
again. bat eased off finally, leaving frac-
tional net gains in the majority of cases.
The decrease in surplus reserve shown
by hte bank statement probably induced
some selling, though the change was due
in greater part to the heavy increase in
deposits and the consequent raising of
the legal reserve limit than to the &C
tual decrease in cash. The large increase
in loans i'll face of the heavy speculative
accounts that have been closed out on the
stock exchange during the week proba-
bly, has to do with the Union Pacific sale.
Bonds have been less effected by de-
preston during the week than stocks,
but prices have shown sympathetic de-
clines.
