NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. March lO.-The business
passing ~ the primary dry-goods market
is still along quiet lines. There is no In
crease in the general demand for staple
goods. and the trading in the fancy lines
Is irregular. Most mail reports from
western and interior jobbers are OF a
fair character. but these are also irregu-
lar in the various lines. some goods SELL
ing extremely well while more staple
lines scarcely change hands at all. The
situation in staple cottonS is unchanged.
Bleached goods are very quiet as are
brown goods, i'm both wide and narrow
lines. Print cloths are very dull. the
market for extras is still quoted nomi-
nally at 29-l6 cents. Prints show no
change.
