Pacific has fallen on the dividend an- nouncement Grand Trunk was dull in sympathy and on expectations of poor traffic returns securities were flat, for the occasions stated above. Argentines and Chilians were firm on the reported settle ment of the boundary dispute, but Brazil ians were lower. The fall in Deebers con tinues in spite of part support.
 The settlement tomorrow should be fa- vored by very easy money.
 Drv Goods.
 New York, Aug. 9.-The dry goods situa- ton shows no startling change in any particular. There was the usual Tues day dearth of mail orders, but buying by visiting representatives is still fairly heavy. The buying is indicated by the needs of dealers rather than by speculative motives on the part of the purchasers, but 1t reached a fair average even on this basis. Print cloths are still active in many grades The sales last week are now es- timated at about 100000 pieces which about offsets the production at Fall River Extras are quoted at 2 cents and are none too strong at that figure, while odd goods show no change of moment. Unsettled state of the print cloth market has depressing effect on the market for all cotton goods.

New York, Aug. 9.-There was a narrow, but generally firm market for cotton to- day The higher ruling of spot cotton at I ixror hn wet sippi and in the Atlantic states and the more or less generally uncertain character of crop accounts led to some covering, on which our market advanced to points, after which there was partial recession. Outside speculation failed to give any support.
