Now york. Dry foods.

New York, April 2s.-There has been poor
attendance Of buyers in the market today.
business on the spot has been duh in all de-
partments. No change In prices OF brown
sheetirgs and denims, but market in favor of
buyers outside OF best brands. Similar feat
ures In bleached cottons. Leading ticks steady
and all lines irregular. Coarse colored cottons
steady. Prints and ginghams quiet but Arm.
All descriptions of white goods firm, and
there is demand for India linens and lawns
for sprlng 1901.
