DRY GOODS.

New York, Nov. 12.-There have been
no further changes in the dry goods mar
ket, and the general tone of the market
remains decidedly dull. Mail orders are
few, and the general trend is toward con-
tinuation of the quetude which has pre-
vailed for the last few weeks. In wooden
and worsted goods there is no change. Sup
Elementary buying for spring demands is
very light, and there is litale immediate
encouragement in the market as it stands
to-day. In staple cottons the market con-
tinues dull, with the demand for both
brown and bleached goods very small, even
at the low prices recently made by jobbers
for leading lines of bleached cottons.
Agents as yet have made no change to
correspond with these new prices, and in
many cases are in a position to withstand
the pressure brought about by this means.
Print cloths are quiet at 5-16c. In prints
the market is still very dun.
