DRY GOODS.

New York, February 14.-Dry goods
The dry goods market to-day has
been inactive in all departments owing
to the snowbound conditions of the
various railroads leading into the city,
and of the city itself. Few buyers have
been in attendance and few mails were
delivered to-day. Sundays and yester-
days mails furnished some business.
but it is evident that the severe weather
will contract buying for some little
time to come. The tone Of the cotton
goods market is, however, as strong as
ever in all departments, and the ten
dency of prices still upwards. Wooden
goods in mems wear and dress fabrics
are steady.

MOST BEAUTIFUL OF PARIS
IENNES.

The most beautiful woman in Paris
has retired. 1t is almost needless to
state that she was on the stage, for it
seems as though the handsomest of
the Gallo beauties nowadays always
gravitate toward the footlights or else
that the Parisians have no eyes for
beauty except that which holds forth
in the green-room.
It is said that La Cavaliere, the
charming Neapolitan dancer Of the
Folies-Bergere, will never be seen
again in public on the stage. She will
not necessarily suffer. however, for

strength at Liverpool in addition TO
light domestic receipts, gave wheat a
strong start. May opened as@5sc
higher at 73%@74c, and as New York
reported foreigners fair, buyers Of
March and May wheat at the sea.board,
the price soon touched 7418c. The same
was true of foreign business here, the
orders being generally to buy in short
wheat. The visible supply statement
soon forced itself upon the affection of
the traders, and as it gave early evid-
ence of showing a considerable in
crease it was suggestive of caution to
the buyers. The result was an increase
Of LII, 600 bushels for the week, bring
ing the total up to 80, f61 900 bushels.
The market, however, in anticipation of
some such an addition to stocks, had
become very heavy and before the ac-
tual announcement was made the price
Of May wheat had dropped to 1880,
and it get as low as 731s073Hc before
it recovered from its declining ten
dency. Chicago receipts were 1873 cars,
Of which 10 graded contract, and Min
neapolis and Duluth received 1873 cars
since Saturday morning. The worlds
shipments to Europe for the week were
1892, 900 bushels, and the amount on
ocean passage was increased 100000
bushels. The %clearances OF wheat and
flour for the day were very small,
amounting to only 100000 bushels. The
market ruled heavy all the time after
the result of the visible was known,
while a good deal of long property was
for sale at the decline. The lowest
prices of the day prevailed as the ses-
sion was drawing to a close; it declin-
ed to 72%c May, and resting at 1924
072Bc.
The early strength in wheat and
higher cables started corn strong. 1t
was too freely offered, however, to
maintain the rise it commenced with,
and when wheat withdrew its support
it brought corn to the ground. The
increase of 2,416, GOO bushels in the Wis
ible supply against 933, 600 bushels de-
crease the corresponding week of last
year, was sufficient encouragement in
itself to account for all the weakness
that succeeded its announcement. Re-
ceipts, 8S3 cars. May opened B0Hc
higher at 375s@37&c, declined to 3673
637c, and closed at 37037Bc. MI
merous outside buying orders and a
good speculative demand from eleva-
tor concerns strengthened oats. The
break in the other grains caused a
reaction, but the market held fairly
steady throughout the session. Re
ceipts, Ais cars. May began &c up at
29c, rose to 2912c, sold off to $3.50
2SAc, and closed at 2S$4e sellers.
Heavy receipts of hogs and lower
prices at the yards handicapped pro-
visions. The market ruled dull all
day, while neal the end of the session
weakness developed on liquidation by
holders which forced a decline all
around. May pork opened. unchanged
at $1O.12fa, declined to $1,000 and
closed at $10.02R. May lard started a
shade lower at $50. weakened to
$5.O71a, declined to $500 and closed
at $5.O0@5.02h.
Estimated receipts for Wednesday:
Wheat, 1877 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats,
Ais cars; hogs. $1,000 head.
