New York, Nov. 19.-Dry goods are
following the lines Of the weeks tranlns
and show no increase in interest In any
Grade. Dealers are of the opinion that
there can be no radical change in the
situation until there has been decided
change in the weather, in the way OF
more reasonable conditions. At present
mail orders are light and store trading
IL limited and conservative. In wool
ems and worsted goods the demand Is
restricted to slight recorders. Joppers
are conducting a campaign or conces-
sions on various different lines OF goods
and in this way are obtaining control OF
a vast number Of orders at exceedingly
irregular prices they neither mar nor help
the situation to any apprecia0ie extent
Collections are very fair. In staple cot
tons the demand for both brown and
bleached goods is quite limited and Is
without feature in any grade. In print
cloths the trading of the week has peen
small. Bids Of PA extras are steadily
refused by manufacturers and there 10
practically no demand for these goods
At the nominal quotation Of SIG. Odd
goods are exceedingly quiet in all grades.
Prints are without feature.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at loss
OF 2 to points but lecov-
cred all before noon. The ear
" weakness was due to disappointing
opening cables, but later cables gave
some encoura cement and port receipts
ran below estimates. Shorts at present
low prices naturally show hesitation to
stand on their deals and there is dis
position to change front on anything like
bull encouragement. Speculation, how
ever, fails to broaden as expected. In
the afternoon trading was more active.
Weakness developed under local selling
with the market finally easy at net
loss of four a seven points.

greater than yesterday, but realizing sales
in the last hour reduced the net gain to
very narrow fractions in most cases. The
movement in the specialties was much
freer than in the standard railroad stocks
and Sugar and Manhattan ran one time
2 points higher than yesterdays close
and sharp gains were also shown by
Peoples Gas, New Jersey Central, Read
ing first preferred and Lead preferred.
All of these gains were very materially
lessened before the close. West Chicago
Street Railway was quite active and
strong and rose nearly 2 points. But
Consolidated Gas occupied the middle
of the stage and was the centre of at
tention all day. This stock opened 312
points higher on the belief that a large
individual interest in one of the local
gas companies which has been holding
out for the best terms, had been brought
into the agreement for amalgamation.
The stock mounted upward by wide
bounds sometimes over Il point between
sales to 1882. But the very great scep-
ticism in the speculative mind regard
ing published utterances on the progress
of the plan of consolidation then became
manifest in the equally feverish course
of the stock toward a lower level. 1t
got as far down as 1873 and after vibrat-
ing in very erratic manner closed y
point higher at net gain of three
points. The later weakness in the mar
ket was due in part to reports from the
west of falling off in railroad earnings
and to widespread difficulty over the
maintenance of railroad rates. There
was talk also that large increases in
operating expenses would reduce the net
earnings of railroads for October below
what has been counted on. Buying for
London account helped to sustain the
market in the earlier dealings. A feat.
ure of the day was sharp rise of "a
cent in the rates of sterling exchange
both for demand bills and cable trans
fers. This was in part the reflection Of
a stiffening in the discount rate in Lon
don where the Bank of England is a.
gain borrowing money in the open mar
ket with the purpose of controlling the
private discount rate and relieving the
pressure for gold on that centre. Mon
ey in this market continued very dull
and easy in all departments. Not only
has the dullness of a speculation reduc-
ed the demand for money but there has
been quite heavy flow Of funds during
the week from interior points. To-mor-
rows bank statement is expected to show
material increase of available money
