NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET
| NEW YORK, December 1.-THE dry
| goods market shows more activity, the
| trading which has made its appearance
| since the reductions In bleached gooas
| having had the effect of benefiting the
market generally. The increased ac-
| tiyity IS noticeable both In store-tradine
| and in mail orders. but sellers are ye'
| afraid to predict as to how mucn res
| benefit will accrue. In other lines Oh
| staple cottons the market shows no par
| ticiilar change although brown gool.
| have gathered some strength as a resui'
| of the reductions in bieached goods.
