DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, July 30.-The close of the
week finds quiet conditions prevailing in
the dry goods market. There mas been a
weakening noticed in print cloths and rel
attvelv heavy sales have followed. Out
side Of this and the activity in export
brown goods there have been no features
of moment in the market. In other de-
nartrnents of the cotton goods market un-
changed prices prevail. Phe ersales OF
brown and staple goods are still Quiet and
the price tone is firm. Printed cotton
goods are quiet in all grades. Ginghams
preserve their position as active. strong
goods.
Bradstreet's.
There is yet a moderate business in pro-
gress. but conditions are slowly working
better Some statesmen have started out,
but vacations are being taken in many In
stances. which cuts into trade. Cotton
goods are quiet, but held with fair stead
fress Some lines of bleached cottons
which have been selling low have been
advanced &c IN price. Export business Is
quiet. with local call moderate; It now
looks as though production Of print cloths
at Fall Riyer would be largely curtailed
next month Printed fabrics arc quiet,
but new lines are being operi@'. The de-
nand for printed f1annelettes is good,
many being prirted In Bingham patterns.
and will take the place of the latter goods
during the winter months Staple eing-
hams continue strong. Dress woolens
are quiet in all departments. Mems wear
woolens are opening in light weights to
some extent.

The tone Of the market is flrTner as a
whole and more inquiry Ia noticeable. but
sales ruling are below the volume of last
week Dealers who have been willing to
sell have advanced their views somewhat,
and this advance manufacturers have not
been willing to meet. The new woods
coming in have cost in excess of ruling
sales Of spot lots. and this is affecting the
asking prices of dealers. 1t is claimed
that prices will be generally advanced
when the demand becomes more brisk
but in the meanwhile any attemnt 10
mark up values Is followed by the buyer
holding back. Territory woods are hard TO
find particularly in new. WOODS below 4s1
sic secured for fine medium and fine. but
old WOODS yet sell below these figures. and
manufacturers yet bold back at any adj
vance in the price. Fleeces are held
steady but move slow. The PRINCIPAL call

Stocks-The recent tendency of the

centuated to-day by the fact that the
London stock exchange was taking a
holiday. Dealings in railroad stocks
were at minimum and there was a
notable disinclination to SELL Even
he professional bears who have really
been the only prominent sellers in the
market fer period of nearly two
months hesitated to put out short lines
Today in fear CT some developments
,ver Sunday that would give the mar
ket it's long-expected impetus to activ-
lty. To the expectation of news at any
time that Manila has been occupied by
the United States forces with the ex-
,edition in Porto Rico making favora-
,le progress and with concrete propos-
his for the conclusion of peace under
lctual official discussion, the bears do
iot care to leave short contracts open
,ver Sunday in market that has
shown such long, firm resistance to
III efforts to force decline and dis
lodge offerings of stock. There was,
besides continuance of the improve
ment in some of the industrial stocks
which recently have been prominent.
There was large and aggressive buying
OF Brooklyn Transit, attributed to the
predominant interest in the property
with resulting rise of nearly 2 per
cent. in the price. The rubber stocks
continued to advance on the under
standing that they have become the
favcrites of one Of the streets influen-
tial speculative leaders. Sugar and
Metropolitan Street Railway also show
ed strength. There was no news or
known financial or industrial develop
mert to account for the advance in
price OF these various stocks. Prices

THE MAINE.

New York Times: 1t is a proof Of
the summary and sufficient character CT
the punishment we have inflicted en-
Spain that in the discussion CT the
terms of peace no mention is made OF
indemnity for the loss of the Maine.
We have ample grounds for demanding
full reimbursement for the cost Of the
battleship, large sum to be distributed
among the families OF the dead OF the
Maine and either some millions of eX-
emplary damages, or, in lieu thereof,
an apology and salute to the flag. The
Maine was in Spanish harbor and I'M
der Spanish protection to an extent
which imposed upon the officials Of
Spain the obligation of due diligence
to protect her from assault If the
ship was not actually destroyed by APP
paratus in the control of these officials,
which is extremely probable, they at
least exhibited no degree OF diligence
in seeking to protect her.
We have perfectly convincing case
for tribunal CT arbitration, and OF
course we are in a position &c exact q
large Indemnity by simply putting an
article in the treaty to that effect. But
there is no disposition to make Spain
sion to include reputation for that cut
rage in the terms of peace.
NOBODY OBJECTS TO PORTO RICO.
New York Sun: 1t is circumstance
worth noting that there is no protest
against the acquisition of Porto Rico.
Nowhere is q voice raised against the
annexation Of that island. 1t is taken
for granted that in the settlement with
Spain Porto Rico will become Ameri-
can territory, and that we shall take
possession OF it, and proceed to admin
lister its affairs perpetua!ly in the man
ner which the best judgment Of Con-
gless shall hereafter determine We
are not aware that even the most vio-
lent opponents Of the general policy of
national expansion are fling any ob
jections in the case Of Porto Rico.
Yet every alleged constitutional diff
Guilty, every practical problem CT ad-
ministration, every supposed danger to
our system and to the future of our in
situations that enters into the Ques-
tion of the Philippines, applies likewise
to Porto Rico. The differences are all
Of detail and Of non-essential circum-
stances, not of principle.
This is an encouraging evidence CT
the rapid education CT public sentiment
by recent events. If the whole coun-
try has already arrived at the conclu-
sion that we are able to undertake the
ownership ard management of Porto
Rico without going to pieces as re-
public, or even straining cur irstitu-
tions, universal and cheerful acduies-
cence in the Philippine enterprise is not
tar off.

coin. There was a deep dispute as to what
that meant. On the one side OF congress
1t is said that the government can pay In
silver; the other says gold only: otherwise
the government Is guilty Of bad faith and
dishonesty as to obligations. SO long as
there is doubt there will be a constant
pressure to open the way for the pay
ments In silver. and the contention was
that better assurances OF maintaining the
gold standard than now exist should be
given the country. So then. he thought,
1t was the wisest plan to make the posi-
tive and unequivocal declaration as to the
purposes of the bill.
At the hearing today Secretary Gage did
not appear, owing to slight cold and
hoarseness. He will proceed tomorrow
