NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, March 9.-There is u weak
dry-goods market at first hands. The
fact that jObbers are doing a good bust
ness hers and outside seems TO have had
little effect on the primary market. Sea-
sOnable goods sell well. but there is no
speculation i'm staple lines, and buyers
take goods only To fill current wants.
The market in staple cotton is dull and
featureless. Print cloths show no
change. Prints are firm and feature
less. In woollen and worsted goods
quiet conditions prevail. Sales are light,
and prices are not nearly firm enough To
suit sellers. Dress goods show fairly
good results I'm some instances.
