DRY GOODS.

New York, Aug. 26.-The dry goods mar
ket was active, with many buyers present
n bo.h shipping and jobbing markets.
The tone was firm in AL cotton lines, sew
eral advances having been announced in
the last twenty -four hours. Sellers are
less willing to deviate from new.y estab-
lished prices and as buyers, after some
parley, generally took goods, the condi-
tons are quite satisfactory and hopeful.
The export demand shows a slight in
crease in spite of an advancing market.
This is considered a good feature. Woollen
goods of all sorts are doing Well Staple
cOttons are firm and selling freely. Fruit
of the loom "A and rs bleached are again
at value. This is not surprising as the
price has been below that of Lonsdales
since the recent advances.

land and Empress of India. has only con-
tiibutcd $4,000 of her immense wealth
to the India famine relief fund, while
William Waldorf Astor. formerly of
New York. contributed $4,000, and Mr..
j. s. Morgan, the great American bank
er, $1,000. IS creating some little COM
ment on the other side of the big water,
and some of the English newspap ers go
so far as to express their surprise that
the Queen Empress should have given
so little of her accumulated millions for
the relief of her starving subjects. The
Prince OF Wales, however. out of his
meagre income, contributed sl,250. 1t Is
said that If the contributions of the
Americans at home and abroad to this
fund were thrown in the scale. they
would outweigh Ave to one the entire
amount contributed by the English peo-
pie all over the world, although the suf-
fcrers of India are British subjects.
