New York. April 23.-Thc week closes
with stagnation in nearly all branches
nf the dry goods trade. The failure to
buy goods which has been the result
of recent war uncertainty. has left job
hers in many sections with low stocks.
There is already a stronger
market for all staple goods and prints,
and advances in quoted prices are ex-
prcted ut an early date. The inquiry
for fall goods has been light SO far, but
buyers are beginning to exhibit Il more
Nenturcsome spirit. The movement i'll
print cloths has been lighter than last
week. There is an undcrtone OF tirm-
ness on the part OF manufacturers when
bids Of extras at , cents are under dis
clSeion. Odd goods have been decidedly
tirmcr and sales have been light.
