NEW YORK DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, Feb. THE opening of trade
in the dry goods field was featureless today,
but generally suspicious Jobbers, in fact,
had less cause to complain since the first of
the year. Reports today from out of town
jobbing and final markets have been of a
fair business in all lines. At first hands the
market is firm but without feature. Buying
is irregular. In cotton goods the orders have
been urgent In many cases and fairly numer-
GUS But they are for small amounts and
are not calculated to fortify sellers. Print
cloths are unchanged at S-16c for "a square
extras.

street and Second avenue had an air of
NE about it-baby life and child life.
ihere were several very young children
among them whose faces the venerable
lawyer and statesman has never seen.
The light has been slowly fading out
OF his eyes for nearly ten years. Mr..
EVarts never said anything about his
failing vision until 1892, when he was
forced to decline an invitation to speak
at a chamber Of commerce dinner. He
at that time attributed his affiiction to
an accident which befell him in 1886.
when ne was thrown out of his car
riage, striking his head on the stone
pavement He said the shock affected
the minute blood vessels of the eyes,
causing a thin film to slowly spread
over the retfna. He was treated by
european and American specialists, but
finally concluded that his treble was
incurable.
For five years Mr.. Evarts has prac-
tically done no legal work.

Gossip by private wire to c. H. F. Smith
& Co.. st. Paul members of the New York
stock exchange and Chicago board of trade:
A prominent st. Louis operator says: Got
hold of a lot of good bear news. One item
is that the D. & r. G. railway has made a
rate to the gulf on 1,50O, 0G0 bu Colorado wheat.
Another is from Dallas, Tex, that the owner
of mill there says they took in 100 blu wheat
from farmers wagons last Friday. These
items show reserves are good everywhere:
The Corn Trade News makes the world S
wheat shipments $780, 600 Blu, which is 1,G0O,-
600 blu over the official figures.
The first Missouri crop report for 1898 IN
dicates a total wheat area of 1,0S4,000 acres,
"a per cent less than last year. The condition
of winter wheat is rs against 81 in November.
The heavy SHOWS helped the position: The
