DRY GOODS.

New York. May 1S.-rhe dry goods mar
ket was quiet to-day in the various lines
of cotton goods. In spite of cheerful
weather of the past two days, the trade
at retail in the Understandable goods has
been only fair. This has reflected back
through 1obbers to first hands, where buy
ing is exceedingly light for the time OF
the year. though supplementary orders
for summer goods are recorded. In wooden
and worsted, mems fabrics, the market is
quiet, the fan sales being of a listless sort
Dress goods are fairly active at fair prices
though buyers are still anxious to trade
as close as possible. Staple cottons quiet.
Bleached and brown goods are al a stand
still, print cloths are quoted at 7-l6c,
Prints show no change in any grade. Sta
pies are steady at firm. though low prlces.

New York, May 1S.-Riordan Co. say Of
cotton: The cotton market was dun to-
day. The liquidation of yesterday had ev-
identity evened up accounts pretty we'll, for
the trading to-day was exceedingly quiet.
Liverpool which has so far led the de-
cline, was more encouraging this morning.
Prices there were slightly higher. The
opening here was better in consequence.
There was no feature of interest during
the morning and the market fiuctuated
within narrow limits. The government
weekly crop bulletin gave comfort to the
bears by its splendid report on the crop
In the Atlantic states, and Il pleased the
bulls with the rather poor shown report
ed from Texas. Tennessee and Arkansas.
In the afternoon one house was a heavy
buyer and prices advanced. August open
ed a 73lc, fluctuated between this figure
and 7.2Sc, and then advanced to 7.3lc, and
closed at 1897 .3ic, with the tone of the
market steady. The indications are that
the majority of transactions viii soon be
confined to the next crop. as the summer
months are In such position as to render
them capable of manipulation.

THOSE who have investigated the
subject are of the opinion that the
area devoted to wheat-growing is
gradually shrinking. 1t is estimated
that the worlds crop of 1896 will not
be more than ., 36s, 600, 600, as com ared
with 2, 447, 900, 900 bushels in 1898 and
2,567, 900, 900 bushels in 1894. There is
a decline of the crop in India, the
Argentine republic, Austria and the
United States To those who are en-
gagged in wheat-growing these figures
and the outlook ought to give some
encouragement, the encouragenen of
better prices.
