Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-There is no change in
the market for dry goods. The demand is slow
in all divisions of the cotton goods market as
well an in wooden goods. The uncertainty of
buyers is marked than ever. War talk is
frequent and takes the place of trading The
demand for all grades of staple cottons Is OF
such n character that sellers have no difficulty
in handling IT. There are few calls for goods
to be delivered quickly. Domestic orders gen.
orally quiet. however for all lines. Export goods
slightly more general in request Print cloths
are still quoted at &c. but trading is very dull.
Prints are still very quiet and weak Offerings
OF varied lots at small prices for cleaning OUT
continue 10 be made and there is haste on
tho part Of buyers to take these where the offers
are especially desirable. outside Of these there
is no trading.
