DRY GOODS SITUATION.

New York. March There is much of
interest in the dry goods situation.
Buyers at second hand are quite plenti-
full. and jobbers are again looking for
ward to a lucrative week. At first hands
the market is still quite firm. The de-
mand coming forward for cotton goods
is still limited. Mail orders showed
generally fair results. but store buying
is still limited in nearly all quarters.
Staple cottons continue Irregular. The
constant and consistent demand which
finds it's origin in the needs of the con-
verting and finishing trades continues
n hopeful feature of the market In
brown goods the demand is quite regu-
lar. Wide goods are also steadily active
with greatly reduced stocks reported in
some quarters. Export goods continue
unsatisfactory in all quarters. Bleached
cottons are strong and an increased de-
mand is noticed in some lines Print
cloths show no change Prints are gem
orally in fairly good shape. Sellers at
first hands have moved the bulk of their
seasons goods. and are beginning to
figure on the fall trade.

American naval officer here thinks the

The mine theory is less tenable. As
cabled from Key West on Saturday. the

There is not one chance in a thousand

Perhaps never a humanity constructed
