NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, May G.-The interest in all
c~otton-goods market centres in the proba-
bic action of the t'all-River manufac-
turers under the new low record for regu-
lar cloths. Further sales, either i'm the
Fall-River market or I'm outside trading
centres OF extras at lul 5-S are not re-
| ported. but bids are limited 10 this figure.
and are as yet without results. II is said
rat another Fall-River mill will shut
down on Saturday night for an indefinite
period. and there are rumors that seve-
| raj other mills will adopt like tactics. IL
IS believed to be imperative for all the
mills TO close at an early date. The
stock Is heavier than ever before, and
price is lower by a number OF points
than any ever before recorded. The
effect Of the print-cloth situation on the
market for all staple cotton is still very
depressing.
