NEW YORK DRY-GOODS MARKET.
NEW YORK. March 1.-The situation
In dry-goods shows no change OF mo-
ment. Trading at first hands is perfuncto-
ny. Mail orders are In fair proportions
the price-tone In both cottons and wool
fns Is strong. Woollen and worsted goods
are selling less freely thar heretofore
Agents are not pressing sales, as the
course or the woollen market Is still a
matter OF speculation. Recorders are fairly
heavy, but new goods are being taken
with considerable conservatism. Staple
cottons show practically the same condi-
tons as have prevailed heretofore. Print
cloths are unchanged I'm quotation. Prints
are firm and generally well distributed In
demand.
