New York. Jan. 1o.-Generally hope
full conditions mark the close OF the pre-
sent week in dry goods. The last SIX
DAYS have shown a turning Of the toe
in favor Of heavier buying and better
price conditions. In wooden lines the
trade has been we'll sustained and gives
promise of being expanded materially
in the near future. Heavy weight goods
in the new styles have generally moved
easily and at fair prices. In staple cot
tons the strikes now declared, while de-
plored by the manufacturers are looked
upon by sellers in the local market as
being of decided advantage to the mar
ket. Generally speaking they will bOls-
ter up prices and sellers believe that with
q heavy demand to come later, manu-
facturers will not be unwilling to pay
better prices than those now prevailing.
Both brown and bleached goods close
the week with dull and weak conditions
prevailing. There is a very slight gain
in the demand for export goods, which it
is hoped will expand later. Coarse color
ed %cottons are featureless. The weeks
trading in print cloths has been light.
COTTON.
New York, Jan. 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened dull but steady at unchang-
ed prices to 1 point lower and ruled in
active with trading almost entirely of
a local character. English cables were
less favorable than looked for but on the
other hand port receipts fell below early
estimates. Southern and New England
news was conflicting and checked outside
speculative ventures.
Futures became a shade easier under
local selling, closing dull at a net loss
of 1M2 points. Total sales 10000 bales.
Estimated receipts Of cotton at the ports
for the day $4,000 bales, against 4O.59S
last week and 25,16O last year. EST
mated receipts of cotton at the ports
for the week 100000. against 266, $50
last week and 132.:3S3 last year. At
Memphis 1859. against $50 last year.
and at Houston 1916, against 1880 last
