DRY GOODS.

New York, Aug. 12.-Conditions toward
the close of the week in dry goods show a
hopeful state of trade. The movement
of goods from day TO day is fairly heavy,
particularly in jobbing houses. The mar
ket had been benefited in general way
by the influx of buyers, but their opera
tons have covered wide field. There
has been no concentra ton on any line
of goods. and, therefore there is no change
in the price situation The market for
wooden goods has gained very little dur
ing the week. The dress goods situation
is an unsatisfactory one. Staple cottons
have not gained IN strength.

different. The vote in his county had
been ia favor of constitutional con-
yention. because the people had been
educa ed as 10 the need Of one. What
would the members do when they went
hack TO the people? They could only
say that "the knife had been applied"
but the relief afforded was not sufficient.
They would have to acknowledge this,
but would be compelled to admit that
another means had been offered them,
which they failed TO take advantage OF.
Therefore. he thought there was only
one thing TO do, and this was to submit
to the people the question OF calling a
constitutional convention.

Janitor of the Gallery. but aboiishes the

ton bill Monday.
Mr.. Parker stated that he had made a
hurried calculation as 10 the net saving
made by the conference bill over the last

approximately correct. He said that the
nee saving OF the Senate bill was about
$4,000. the net saving OF the House bill
was about si20oo and the net saving OF
