DRY GOODS. fs;i7
New York, Sept S.-The dry goods
market is firm today, in both cottons and
woolens. The trading is lighter this week
and there is an absence of hurry orders.
The recorder business is beginning to
take the place of direct orders. Jobbers
continue to find store trading heavy, the
buyers being present in large numbers,
due to Merchants Association excur-
sions. In staple cotton the tone continues
firm. The sales are of fair average cali
bre in all lines of brown goods for do
nestle use. Although prices are well sus-
tanned sellers are not pressing for higher
prices at present, being content to regis
ter as heavy sales as possible, with al
ready advanced rates now prevailing.
Print cloths are still firm at Fall River
and outside the market and sales are Of
moderate proportions so far this week.
Sellers are not inclined to part with
goods at less than fve-eighths for con-
tracts and buyers still refuse to pay high
er prices for these goods. Prints continue
fairly busy, with staples exceedingly firm
and fancy calicoes in extremely fair de-
mand, all at strong prices. Ginghams are
well maintained at the advances recently
quoted, with moderate demand reported
from day to day. Wooden goods are still
quiet, but well sustained.

many years 10 the consideration of ac-
tive politics. During his campaign for
the presidency on the labor ticket he
noticed that the representatives ot

ue Bailey, the circus man, who was "A
friend Of General Butler, took some in

Butler spoke to him Of the neglect of
the newspapers. do us we do replied
Bailey, and hire men to take your stuff
to the papers = we call them press
agents, though you can call them any
thing else
The idea IVES adopted Immediately
and Bailey was asked TO spare one Of
his press agents for Il couple of months.
which he consented to do, and sent Ma
Jor Hugh Coyle. who resides i'll this city
during the off circus season, to report
to General Butler. Coylc was therefore
tho first political press agent employed
us such. He took hold of the Butler
boom and played it for all it was worth,
and ran the campaign on regular circus
principles. He had Il man three or four
days ahead of the general, whose duty
Il was to organize Butler clubs i'll case
there was not any or where tho club
was an insignificant affair
