New York, May 14.-There has been a
good trade in the coarse cotton goods mar
ket, caused by a strengthening of the
market for print cloths for which l 15-16c
is now bid after sales of 5000 regulars
at that price. Odd goods are also reported
somewhat frmer. The strength is un-
doubtedly due to reports of a prospective
curtailment of production. In other sta
pie cotton lines there is quiet but steady
demand reported. Print goods are in bet
ter shape under pleasant weather condi-
tons than was previously the case. Sales
of staple calico have been only fair Cling

are very strong. Several lines have been
advanced. A prominent jobbing house has
