NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, January 1.-THE dry
goods situation showed less change than
was expected to-day. The market for
cotton goods has been strengthened
advances were reported. The presence
of a fair number of buyers at first hands
has induced heavier trading. but this is
still so irregular that detailed gains cam
not be located. There is evidently a
general better tone to the market Sellers
feel better than heretofore, and are
making no concessions whatever. In
woollens there has been a continuance
OF the very fair business Of last week i'm
all lines. a number of new lines have
been opened. Buyers now find plenty or
goods 10 inspect, and were busily engaged
to-day in looking through the field and
placing orders of fair size, although there
is still some conservatism, due probably
to the weather conditions. In staple cot
tons the demand is still quite limited.
Print-cloths were not quoted to-day at
Fall River.
