sharing in the most brilliant business
OUTLOOK OF the country and reports from
manufacturing centers are most encour-
aging The bulls argue that with good
business at higher prices and with other
markets booming, it would be strange in
deed II cotton should alone decline.
As usual however, the break this
week has added many recruits to the bear
ranks and the bul,ish sentiment here has
almost disappeared. While American con
dluons are hopeful, the prospects abroad
are by no means so good and ii is there
that we must market the bulk of our cot
ton
Owing to the rains in Texas this week
there is less talk of poor crop there.
Signs of specializing revival are not APP
parent. The demand for the earlier re-
ceipts may hold the market for time,
or even lift it, but if present crop pros
poets continue We believe that prices must
ultimately go lower"

DRY GOODS.

New York Aug. 1.-THE dry goods mar
ket closes the week with great strength
shown in both first hand and iobbing quar-
ters. The week has been an emiuentiy sat
isfactory one. Up to the close advances
were made in all staple cotton lines, and
further upward reaches are confidently eX-
pected The demand for prints though
not so pronounced as the movement in
bloached, brown and coarse colored cot
tons, has still been of a noteworthy char
acter. Wool goods show rise in price and
sellers and buyers looking forward to fur
their advances. This has caused very ac-
tive demand for goods in AL grades, and
the sales of the week have been extremely
satisfactory. Print clothes are firm al 25sc,
with belief prevailing that they will ad-
vance still more
