DRY GOODS Markets.

New York, Dec. 7.-Reports OF lower
prices to be made in staple cottons was the
feature of the dry goods market today. Up
to the Close however, there had been none
reported, but the feeling is strong among
dealers that this will be done in the near
future. At least one prominent agent has
sigEified his intention TO give lower price
for certain staple bleached goods, and this
will probably cause a decline all along the
line. In the meantime reports show that
the trading is on limited basis, both by
mail order and in store trading. In brown
goods there is little interest displayed,
whether in shirting goods or in wide sheet
ings, and bleached goods are scarcely bet
ter. so far as general results are concerned.
Manufacturers and converters are still the
leading buyers In the market, but other
purchasers are so small that the aggregate
does not amount TO much. Eexport goods
are still without feature, selling very slow
ly and only at prices which are liberal con-
cess:ons on the part of the sellers. Coarse
colored cottons are still dull in all grades.
Print cloths show no added interest. The
quotations are still 214c. Printed cotton
goods are quiet in all seasonable lines and
in staples. Silks are reported fairly active
and strong.
