NEW YORK DRY-GooDs MARKET.

NEW YORK. Dec. Reports Of lower
prices TO be made in staple cottons are the
feature Of the dry goods market to-day.
Up 90 the close. however. there had been
none reported, hut the feeling IS strong
among dealers that this Will be done IN
the near future At least one prominent
agent has signihed his intention 10 give
a lower price for certain staple bleached
goods. and this viii probably cause de-
cline al along the line In the meantime
reports show that trading is on a limited
basis. both by mail order and IN store
trading. In brown goods there Is little
interest displayed. either IN sheetings or
in wide sheetngs. and bleached goods are
scarcely better. 80 far as general results
are concerned. Manufacturers and con-
verters are still the leading buyers I'm the
market. but other purchases are so small
that the aggregate does not amount 10
much. Export goods are still without
feature. selling very slowly and only at
prices which are liberal concessions on
the part Of the sellers. Coarse colored
cottons are dull in all grades Print cloths
show no added interest The quotation Is
still 2lc Printed cotton goods are quiet
in all seasonable lines and In staples. Silks
are reported fairly active and strong.
