New York, Dec. 21.-In the dry goods
market the trading has been active to-
day. Mail orders, as usual on Tuesday,
were quite slow in arriving, and those
that are received cali for fair amounts
Of goods. The general tone of the mar
ket is hopeful with sellers in the main
strong in the belief that there will be in
creased sales for the spring trade. In
staple cotton the bulk of the trading is,
of course. in the bleached lines, which
have lately been reduced, sellers being
anxious to fill up stock on these goods
before the inventory process is entered
upon. For this reason they are buying
quite freely, to such an extent that in
some quarters bleached cottons are
quoted "at value" Brown goods are
strong and at relatively ac-
tive request. In print cloths there is
still no sales of extras reported.
