NEW YORK DRY GOODS
NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-The market for dry
goods shows TO improvement. Store trading
and shipping very light, and judging
from appearances in the dry goods district.
the market Is a very unnteresting one. Mall
orders do not help out much In any line.
Spring buying has not set in yet to any a,D-
precable extent. JObbers report an intermit-
tent call for actual necessities. and the only
department which shows anything Ike fair
degree OF activity is that af holiday goods.
which are bought with considerable freedom.
although 1t is a question whether they are
selling as actively has been the case for
several years back. In staple cOtt0ns at FIRST
hands the feature has been the reduction OF
Hill Al bleached cOttOns and half bleached
cottons TO SIC per yard. This is the first OF
the promised reductions in bleached cOttOns.
and is liable to be followed in various quar-
ters by further slumps in prices. In print
cloths there has been 10 movement OK ex-
tras at 2i.c.

MESSAGE TO CONGRESS,
PRESIDENT URGES REPRESENTA-
TIoN AT PARIS EXPOSITION.
He Insists on Early Action in Order
10 Insure Fitting Representation
of the United States.

Washington, April 1.-THE president to-
day sent the following message to congress
urging it to make suitable provision for
adequate representation of the tinted
States at the Paris exposition.
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives.
! transmit herewith for the considera-
ton of the respective houses of the con-
gress report of the secretary OF state
representing the appropriateness OF early
action in order that the government OF the
Cnited States may be enabled TO accept
the invitation of the French republic to
participate in the universal exposition 10
be held in Paris in 1900. The recommenda-
tons of the secretary have my most cordial
approval. and ! urge upon the congress
such tIueiy provision for this great in
ternational enterprise IT'S viii iittingly re-
spond 10 the widely testified wish and eX-
pectations of our inventors and producers
that they may have adequate opportunity
again, as In the past. 10 lortify The inn
portant positions they nave won in the
worlds competitive fields of dis ,overy and
industry. Nor are the traditional friend
ships OF the United States md France and
the mutual advantages 10 accrue from this
enlarged commercial Intercourse less i'm
portant factors than the individual inter-
ests to be fostered by renewed participa-
ton in French exposition, especially
when 1t is remembered that the present
display is projected with a degree of COM
pletentss and scale of maenificcnce le-
yond any of the European exposltiutls that
have marked the close of the century
1t is proper that should cmpha- Pc this
need of early action. Tor II ,hc present

greatly to the disadvantage of the United
States in view of elaboglte treparations

for the danger that further may result in
an adequate allotment of space to this
country as well as an incomplete organi-
cation of the American exhibit
