Dry Goods


 New York, August 5-The usual haif- holiday dulness has peryaded the market today, without any indications of weakness in any quarter. Recorders from jobloers form the principal undertone to the mar ket These requests come from convecters in large measure, who are using large quantities of cloth. This demand has con- fined the recent advance in gray cloths, which are stiff alt the advance Regular print cloths have continued firm and busi- ness at full prices is recorded from various quarters. An influx of buyers is expected next week, who are coming with the de- termination to purchase liberally. Stocks in second hand throughout the country are in admirable shape and will need a good deal of replenishing to be in readiness for the fall trade. Woolens are firm. Light weight 'fancies, though not formally upon the market, are being quoted at prices which. show the determination of the mann- facturer to secure a living profit on his product.

REVERSED court of appeals
has reversed the judgment OF the Lin
coin circuit court against Mrs. Mary +.
Owens Ia favor OF the heirs OF Samuel
Owens, deceased, who live in Mis- SOU
ri. The late DR.. q. w. Owens in his
will directed his executor To invest and
retain under his control 81 900 and pay
the income therefrom to the widow of
his brother Samuel for life, and AT her
death to pay the principal snm to her
daughters. The widow died in 1894 and
some time after that the daughters
sued the executor aud his sureties for
the 81, 900 with interest from the moth
er's death. Mrs. Givens, one OF the
sureties, defended the suit on the
ground that investing and controlling
money was not the duty OF an executor
but of trustee, and that an executors
surety is not liable for his acts as trus
tee, and she also plead the statute OF
Limitation. The Lincoln circuit court
held that the defense was not good and
gave jhdgmeet against her, which has
been reversed by the court OF appeals
J. b. Paxton, Esq, represented Mrs
Owens aud prosecuted the appeal.
