NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. November 1O.-Dry-goods
continue weak. Concessions are being
made constantly in nearly all lines or
cotton textile fabrics. These reductions
show desire on the part Of both first
and secondhand dealers to effect a move
ment in stocks at as early date as pos
sible The unreasonable weather condl-
tions are the primary cause Of the depres-
sion In the market, and these nave con-
tinued to such an extent that II Is DOUBT
full whether q complete recovery Will be
possible.
This is felt in woollen and worsted fab
RIGS. both for mems wear and in dress
goods TO no small degree. The supple
mentary demand is still very light and
the requests for heavy goods for next
year are still withheld, pending settle
ment Of the weather and price problems.
In staple cottons the business passing
has been of very light proportions. the
export demand is still quite light, ana
there are, in fact. no really reassurlng
tinue unpopular at 5-l6c.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. November 10.-Every trace
