NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, November 19.-Dry-goods
are following the lines of the weeks trad
ing, and show no increase in interest in
be no radical change In the situation until
there is a change In the weather. At
present mail orders are light, and store
trading Is limited and conservative. In
woollens and worsted goods, the demand
Is restricted. Jobbefs are conducting a
campaign of concessions on various diff
ferent 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 appreciable extent. Colored cot
tons are very fair. In staple cottons
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 been small.
Bids of 2l-4c. for extras are steadily re-
fused by manufacturers, and there is
practically no demand for these goods
at the nominal quotation Of 2 5-lec. odd
goods are exceedingly quiet In all grades.
Prints are without feature.
