Dry Goods.

NEW YORK. Feb THE opening of trade in
the dry goods field featureless to-day, but
generally suspicious. There was a fair percent
age Of buyers present and they seemed to take
hold of goods at second hands with considerable
vim. Jobbers, in fact, have had less cause to
complain since the first of the year. The extent
of trading in the jobbing houses has steadily in
creased. Reports to-day from out-of-town jobbing
and final markets have been of a fair business
in all lines. Seasonable goods are in steady de-
mand and replenishment OF stocks is becoming
more necessary day by day. 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 numerous but
they for small amounts and not calculated to
fortify sellers. Print cloths unchanged at
3-16c for 65 square extras.
