NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. September 23.-The dry
goods market shows no feature of mo-
ment the dulness of the week being fully
as marked as al the opening. Neverthe-
less, in everything except print-cloths,
the market remains firm. These show n
tendency toward weakness. but IL is
thought that trading will soon be heavy,
at a slightly lower price for extras. job
bers are experiencing lull after the
heaviest run of business in several years.
Woollen goods are firm, and in steady re-
quest, on recorders. Silks are in fair de-
mand at advanced prices.
Reports from out OF town show uni
versally good distribution at second hand,
and at retail. IL seems that an epidemic
of fever has been averted in Texas, and
a revival of mail orders show a resump-
ton of trade in that State.
Staplp CQttOnS are in uuiet request, al
unchanged prices. The foreign demand
continues light. and there has been
marked decrease in the production or
those lines of cottons. Print-cloths are
nominally quoted at 5-Sc
