DRY GOODS.

New York, Jan. 4.-The dry goods mar
ket closed with fairly good results for the
week. The volume of business passing has
been heavy as inevitably the case at this
time of the year. But it has not met the
expectations of sellers in all departments.
The Jobbing trade has taken hold of new
goods with considerable enthusiasm. Sta
pie cottons have shown less satisfactory
results. Print cloths still maintain their
firm position. The week has shown gener-
ally good results in wooden and worsted
goods. There have been many buyers in
the town and these have evinced much an
terest in the newly opened heavy weights.
