THE DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, July 15.-Interest in fall
lines of dry-goods has shown a steady in
crease during the week, although actual
transactions have been light. Cotton
goods are still quiet. though looking up
ward. Road statesmen are doing more
with cotton lines than are buyers in
stores. Staple goods are still quiet in
all lines suitable for domestic uses. Ex-
porters manage to keep busy, but are not
buying as heavily as sellers expected.
