NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. January 1s.-There was
less activity in the dry-goods district to-
day than yesterday. The usual Tuesday
quietude was noticeable. Cotton goods
continued dull I'm all grades. The buyers
were slower TO take hold of staple goods
and prints than was TO be expected under
the circumstances 1t is beyond doubt that
there is a tendency on the part OF buyers
TO underestimate the effects OF the east
ern strike, or at least they do not believe
that these effects will be speedy. In local
jobbing. store-tradlng was fairly active,
although mail orders were slow and small.

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO. January 1S-For the third
day in succession, wheat was influenced
almost entirely by Liverpool. The sharp
advance in that market. as a result of
unfavorable Argentine and Asiatic news,
caused an opening advance Of l2c. in May
and that advance was also shown at the
close. A feature was the buying Of July
by the bull clique brokers' and an adj
vance of nc in that option. Corn and
oats were dull and closed shade lower
Provisions made some advances, and had
the best trade in a week
The leading futures ranged as follows
Opening. Highest. Lowest. Closing.
