New York. June 2.-June opens with
light business in all lines of dry goods. In
staple cottons little spot business is done
with jobbers. In bleached goods the spot
demand is limited to manufacturers, prac-
tically. In brown goods. the demand is
quiet. Export goods is slim; coarse col
ored cottons in all grades are duh. Print
cloths show unchanged conditions. Prints
are scarcely more active, though continued
demand for fall fancies have induced sew
eral agents to show their lines at value.
There is a decided Discrimination to make
prices shown on all hands. Ginghams are
active with the manufacturing trade.
Wooden goods in nearly all grades and lin
en- have dropped back TO inactivity. The
cheaper grades are more readily salable,
but recorders for fall grades are very slow.

however, there is a shortage of cattle in
the hands of ranchmen. and much grass is
going to waste. Cattlemen are nursing
their herds as never before. Cows are not
