Dry Goods.


 New York, Sept. 16.-The dry goods situation is a changeable one just ar present. Th= early buying has been fol- lowed at first hands by relaxed efforts on the part of buyers and the reaction has now become general. Jobbers, too, are beginning to fesl a let up in the heavy buying of the past week. Staple cottons are firm and there is considera- ble activity continuing in both brown and bleached goods without decided in> creassi in the demand noted in any particular grades. Export goods are still quiet in all suitable lines. Print cloths are firm at 25sc. Manufa cturers still refuse 10 recede from their position although the sales Of the week have been light. Odds are firm without feat ure. Prints remain in good demand in both fancieS and staples.
 The market is a strong one, but 1t is doubtful now whether opsn advances are sill to be expected.
