NEW YORK, October 1.-THE situation
In dry-goods Is by no means satisfactory.
Store trading to-day was light, and show
ed little prospect OF Improvement. Man
orders were decidedly irregular, particu-
larry in cotton goods. The situation in
woolen goods was maintained I'm a man
ner which surpassed the expectations or
traders generally. Prices were firm In
both mems woollens and worsteds, and
in ladies' dress goods, and the demand for
. spring was reported to be very steady. In
silks the market was strong, both for do
nestle and for imported goods. Knit goods
and hosiery showed some Improvement
Staple cottons were quiet Print-cloths
have not sold heavily under the very easy
market prevailing, as was expected. AT
2 3-Sc. spot extras can only be bought IN
small quantities. Futures were obtainable
at 7-16c. in smaller quantities.
