Dry Goods

New York, Feb. 1-Continued requests for cotton goods at the prices prevailing before the recent advances are reported from day to day. In most cases these are successful, sellers being inclined to take whatever orders may be had at present. There is, however, a strong tendency to- ward firmness, due to the high price of the raw staple and rumors of a general strike.
 Print cloths are very firm. Prints and other lines of colored cottons are in fair condition.

rhicaen Change

Chicago Feb. 17.-For a few minutes following the opening in wheat today the market wtals in a state of excitement seldom witnessed. May sold up at one time $1.06B, or SAC higher than yesterdays close, but it dropped at once and though showing extreeme nervousness at times, the mar ket closed quiet with the modest gain of 7sc.
 War news, apparently, did not cut much figure. It was a matter of shorts getting out and longs taking profits.
 Realizing in other markets was heavier than the demand and declines resulted. Corn closed asc lower; oats, Ac lower and provisions unchanged to 21sc lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows
