NEW YORK, December 29.-The mar
ket has been entirely without change
in the goods division to-day, the week
closing inactive in all departments
and without feature. Buyers are TAX
ing small lots only for quick shipment
and few inquiries are in the market
for forward positions of either staple
or fancies- The cotton yarn market
continues very irregular and without
any sign of Improvement, demand life
less and stocks accumulating. Wool
en- and worsted yarns are dull and ir-
regular.

the silver market at London at the end
of last week, and the advance, which,
however, was Of a fractional character,
was held after the holidays. the price
of bars being up to 20 11-16 pence.
The commercial price in the New York
market advanced in sympathy from
63B cents to Ga cents per ounce, and
or Thursday rose Il cent higher, while
the London quotation remained sta
tionary. The appearance of a better
eastern demand seems to be responsible
for the Improvement. On Friday the
