NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.

1 trade, says
Although there have been no important
| Developments i'm the market here during
| the past week in cotton goods, the ten
| dency has been towards an improved
business. and at the close the generai
| tone shows a slight gain in cheerfulneSS.
Buyers have been in very fair attendance,
helping business along somewhat in spot
at first hands and imparting n more ac-
| tive appearance TO the jobbing trade. III
is clear that the general run or cotton
| goods buyers are working on close stocks.
and an expanding business under sucn
| conditions Is an encouraging indication
of considerable distribution in progress
throughout.
More cheerful in sentiment, the market
! is not actually any firmer than a week
ago. Fancy shipping fabrics have sold
| fairly, without change in prices. Much
the best business of the week was done
in gray cloths of the print-cloth order,
| large sales Of these being made at Fail
| River and elsewhere, producing firmer
tone Rumors Of short time in the Fall-
| River mills are still prevalent, and a num-
| Der of other New England concerns are
reported to be thus contemplating a cur
| tailment of production. In the woollen-
| goods division changes continue unsatis-
| factory i'm mems wear. and the season IN
new heavy-weghts is unusually back
ward. Dress goods have been in moderate
request. Collections are generally salts
