NEW YORK, May 16-There were fair sales
reported in several departments OF the dry goods
market to-day, and the general tone seemed inn
proved in consequence. The market for print
cloths, in particular, showed stronger conditions.
Bids made at the previous quotation refused
by manufacturers. The sales of fall mapped
printed cottons and of some wooden goods
reported better. Jobbers, however in local stores
complained of continued inactivity. In staple
cottons the feature of the market is the export
demand, which has taken on considerable activity
within the last few days. There is also strong
market for sheetings and drills suitable for for
eign consumption and some sellers are holding
goods at a distinct advance. At 1 15-16c regular
print cloths not easy to obtain Odd goods
are said to be even stronger, Printed cottona
show no particular strength.

INGALLS'S SUGGESTIONS
SOME OF HIS IDEAS ARE CoNsID-
Erred USEFUL AND PRACTICABLE.
Freight officials Inclined to Doubt
the Possibility of Restoring East
Bound Rates at Present.

The address Of M. E. ingalls,, president of
the Big Four, before the convention of State
railroad commissioners, made in Washing
ton last week, is attracting good deal of
attention, and 1t is thought some of his
suggestions were very practical. In re-
ferring to the interstate-commerce law he
said one of the chief difficulties with the
law is that the punishment of imprison-
ment for offences regarding contracts and
rebates is entirely out of proportion to the
offense. The public, he said, will not sup
port any one who enforces that law, and no
one will endeavor to have a rival suffer
such punishment. The honest man, there
fore, who sees an opponent thriving by
improper means is himself driven to the
same practices. The Imprisonment clause
should be stricken out, he thought, and
a new law be enacted Immediately, irnpos-
ing q. fine, say of 5000, upon the offending
corporation, and make each and every con-
tract or bill of fading a separate offense
Leave out the shipper altogether as his
testimony is needed. If he cheats by I'M
dervaluing, he should be punished, but
an attempt to secure a lower rate than a
rival should not be indictable.e With this
amendment every railway official will be in
terested in prosecuting his rival for viola
ton of the law. Railway !. corporations
should be allowed to contract with each
other for the maintenance of rates and
division of business, and, in case of failure
of either party to keep his contract allow
the other to sue in the courts and recover
damages. Excessive rates should be re-
duced to the basis fixed by the commission
Railroad companies, he said, should sup
port the commission. 1t was barrier be-
tween them and the unceasing attacks of
PoDuIism.

UnfavorabIe for rate restoration.

A freight Official, in speaking of the in
etructions to advance east bound rates on
: May 80 to the basis of 20 cents per 100
pounds, said he thought it an impossibility
TO meet the requirements proposed. There
would be no trouble. he said in maintaining
rates at Peoria, st. Louis and Indianapolis
were they adhered to at Chicago. He had
information that could not we'll be ques-
toned that some of the Chicago lines had
contracts which would extend considerably
beyond that date at II cents per 100 pounds
rate on grain, and could not see how COM
peting lines would restore rates with such
q rate in existence over a competing line.
He presumed there were more than dozen
like contracts out and while he would like
to see rates restored to tariff he would first
like to see the Chicago roads whipped into
line and held there. Three times of late
east bound rates have been restored when a
like trouble existed, but soon st. Louis fell
In line and paid no attention to tariff rates;
Peoria followed. and after shippers al those
points had for weeks been favored in lower
east bound rates the Indianapolis lines fell
in and for few weeks past shippers in
this section have been favored in rates, but
by no means to the extent that Chicago
shippers have been.
