NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. FEBRUARY 2i.-The feature
of to-day's dry-goods market was the ac-
tivity of jobbers. In addition TO many
mail orders there was remarkably GOOD
showing Of buyers in the city, and they
took goods with considerable degree or
activity. Reports from jobbers In va
rious parts of the country go TO snow
that the buying is quite free with retail
ers I'm the small towns. The recorder bust
ness for spring. IL IL believed, Will be a
large one. and iobbers are much elated
over the prospect.
Although this activity has as yet pro-
duced no results OF moment In the pri-
mary market, agents and commission
men feel encouraged. The firm market
for all lines Of cotton goods promises
more substantial return for the business
10 be transacted than would have been
possible otherwise. The demand, IL is be-
ieved will be early and steady: In WOOL
len goods and wOrsteds the OUTLOOK Is not
so prosperous. but the dealing In THESE Is
well supported in most quarters. In sta
pie cottons the market Is unchanged.
There is still great firmness shown by
sellers but no further stated advances
have been announced. In prlnt-clotns
the market has been firm and steady.
