NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. October 27.--Dry goods in
nearly all grades are unchanged. The
reports from second hands show only
fair distribution weather conditions still
being unfavorable to heavy trading. Re-
ports of retailers are TO the same effect,
though the irregularity is Influenced by
the conditions. Collections are reported
fair.
The market for woollen and worsted
goods continues favorable, both with buy
ers and sellers, prices, while advanced,
being still kept within the limits set by
buyers. Dress goods for spring find ready
sale. SILK goods are said to be very ac-
tive. Importations are quite heavy, and
prices are well sustained, with the pros
pect that the sales for next year will be
as heavy as the most sanguine OF dealers
could have predicted.
In staple cottons. brown goods are fea-
tureless, there being a dearth of heavy
trading in both sheetings and shirtings OF
narrow width. Wide goods are also quiet
in nearly all grades. Print cloths are still
easy at 3-Sc for spot extras, with sales
very light.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. October N.-It looked for
time to-day as though wheat would make
one of those sensational advances so char
acteristic of the market few months
ago. Small northwestern receipts, coupled
with light offerings. started the bulls on
the rampage. but traders -sobered down
on the discovery that No. 2 spring wheat
could not be sold for shipment at SC. per
bushel lower than the December price.
Corn was helped by wheat to a lie. adj
vance Oats gained an equal amount, and
provisions improved trtfe.
