NEW YORK DRY-GoODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, October 3-Drv-goods
were quiet and featureless. The threaten
ing weather interfered with business IN
the jobbing stores. At frat hands there
| was a continued dearth of interest, except
I'm certain popular lines, in which buying
| must be steadily kept up, day by day, TO
insure the completeness Of stocks. In
all the more staple lines business has been
| light, and no prospects OF immediate I'M
prOvement are noted.
