NEW YORK DRY-GooDs MARKET.
NEW YORK. October 2s-The Dry ,
goods market is still dull In nearly an
| departments, the dulness being acSen-
| tuated by the fact that orders Tor Wooliei,
goods, both for mems wear laorlCs, a'it .
overcoats and cloakings, are az presen ~
quite light. The feeling of buyers OF
cotton goods IS distinctly against put-
chases. although the market Is deciueuly
easy in the woollen trade. Inc pIlce y,
| cotton has initiated against heaVy pur-
chasing. and sellers are NOT !nciinsr ~ ~
I take as encouraging view OF the nlarke'

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
