Dry Goods.

New York, June 22.-The dry goods mar ket is unchanged in any particular line. The Hamilton prints for fall have fallen into line in new quotations, price of Az cents being put on fancies and Jalapa faab- rics. This makes uniform basis through out the trade at time when it has been proven buyers were waiting for the naming of prices to buy goods. Still the store trad ing is not heavy in any line. Road safes men send in many orders and other sales are made direct through the mails. The market is strong in al lgrades of printed goods but outsideof fall fancies and cotton dress goods there is little trading reported. The latter are sold at irregularly reduce prices, and are being closed out in bulk very rapidly. Jobbers are having fair week. In staple cottons there is no fea- ture. Print cloths are less firm than they have been. There is more confidence on the part of buyers in the ultimate weaken- ing of tn market as evidenced by mere extensive bids for contract extras at 7 cents. These bids are still refused by sell CTS. There have been no sales reported. Odd goods are quiet and without feature.

New York;, June 22.-The action of the stock market indicated the withdrawal of the outside public from speculation pend ing definite news regarding the operations of the American forces at Santiago and Manila and until the effects of the new revenue law and the government loan are known. The professional operators were unable to advance or depress prices in any marked degree. London operated on both sides of the market in Baltimore and Ohio and was purchaser of St. Paul. The weaknes in sugar, ascribed to prospective annexation of Hawaii, was a feature. The bears had everything their own way in this speciality and were successful in forcing other round amounts of stock which car ried the price down two and one-half points to 12S 5-S. The succeeding opera tions were accompanied with considerable .rregularity, rallies a point or whereabouts occurring frequently, but the evident lack of inside support encouraged fresh demon strations by the bear traders at every rise. the stock closing within one-fourth of the lowest. The feverishness of this security permeated the general market for time, for a marked reluctance of the Standard shares to succumb to bear pressure coupled with some favorable traffic statements stimulated covering in the Granger group, which carried those properties above the level of yesterdays close. The action of Lake Shore directors in increasing the sem-annuaal dividend to 3k per cent was also a contributory factor in the late strength in railways Baltimore and Ohio suffered a loss of 31R points on liquidation, influenced by the drastic nature of the re- organization plan The balance of the list was devoid of feature and a rsumption of comparative prices show exceedingly light changes in either direction except in iso- lated cases.
