NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE close OF
the week is quiet in dry-goods at first
hands. Staple goods show no change from
the market conditions prevailing at the
opening of the week In cotton lines
there has been a well-sustained demand
for seasonable styles, particularly in
printed and woven colored goods. Staple
cottons, in brown and bleached goods
alike are practically where they were
at the weeks opening. The firm attitude
| of sellers is remarkable in the face Of the
decline in print-cloths, and the decidedly
| quiet demand registered.
