NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK, May 2S.-The week has
shown very irregular results In the dry
goods market. None of these have been
entirely satisfactory except the sales OF
staple cottons for export use. The bad
weather which has prevailed all the week
is the primal cause Of the poor business.
1t is reported that the consumption trade
in nearly all sections Of the country has
been light. The market for novelties.
especially patriotic ones. has been lively.
In woollen fabrics of all sorts the mar
ket has ruled dull. Print-cloths are
quoted at l 15-l6c., perfectly nominal
quotation.
