DRY GOODS.
The market yet presents quiet tone in
most departments, but conditions are slowly
improving and a rally more hopeful feel
ing is apparent The movement in brown
cottons is progressing fairly both converters
and iobbers being quite liberal operators
Bies csed eottons are quiet, and the demand
caused by reduced prices has been worked
out Prntcloths ho,d STEADY. Printed fabrics
are selling moderately, but far attention is
being given to new fall styles while the call
for seasonable summer stuffs yet holds on to
some extent Printed outing cloths are at
tracing liberal attention, ard the fall demand
promises well. GingAams are in strong DO
sitlon, with a fair call for fanc:es, while
staples are going well. Dress woolens show
more attention from job5ers but business at
first hands is slow. Mens-wear woolens are
opening up better for spring but orders
placed as yet are Observation-Disclosures

definite stage.
WOODEN GOODS.
Quite number of new lines of woolens
and worsteds for mems wear have been
opened in light weights during the past week
but in the majority of instances they show
so great diversion from the previous sea-
sons products that It is difficult to make a
comparison OF prices. Cheviots in the better
grades have been largely discarded and re-
placed by cassimeres and hard-fnished goods
Where comparisons are possible advances are
seen on last seasons opening prices of 7H

ton may to some extent be accountable. In
serges limited business has been done
and clays have been in Indifferent demand
only. Recorders for heavy weights have ruI.

ings and cloakings the regular demand has
