New York, May IA better feeling
founded on fairly good results in the
market for export goods still prevails
in the dry goods market Continued
strength is developed by the print cloth
market. The demand for fall styles,
both in cotton and wooden goods is fair
~ we'll supported. In staple cOttons
there are not many results in the do
nestle field, but export goods are meeting
with considerable success. Wide sheet
ings are strong in some quarters, an adj
vance in at least one line being reported
within the last few days. Bleached cot
toans are without feature and generally
quiet. Coarse colored goods are firm
and generally in fair good shape, so far
as supplies are consoidwered. The print
cloth market is firm at / 1916, with sell
lers refusing bids at that figure. A drive
in dress fabrics by a large jobbing con-
Germ attracted much attention in the
local market to-day. The line. which
previously sold at about 80, was closed
out at 3A cents by the case, and 37s cents
by the piece.

New York, May 17.-The cotton mark

cables being disappointing, and then re-
covered the loss on Wall street buying,
with further advance of 3 to points
following continued unfavorable crop
accounts, and indications of possible
manipulation of summer months by a
few leading houses. Trading was at no
time active. The market was finally
steady at net advance of 3 points on
the near months, and a decline of 3
