NEW YORK DRY GOODS--New York. Oct.
24.-The dry goods market opened for the
week with a fair demand reported, both on
the part of the buyers present in the market
and mail orders. There was no notable gam
in interest in any division of the market.
The stagnation in WOODEN goods was con-
tinued today. In staple cottons there was
noted a Quickening of interest IN brown goods
for domestic use. Sheetings and drills were
the subject Of considerable inquiry on the
part of converters and some manufacturers
who begin to show more activity than has
been recorded for several weeks. Export
brown goods continued In fair request, the
call for far Eastern markets being quite
heavy. Print cloths showed no change In
quotations.
