The local wholesale markets yesterday
reported markets dull as a general rule in
comparison to the last week business.
There was very little change in the produce
market with prices firm at about the same
as last weeks market In live stock sheep
are quoted higher, owing to the fact that
it is near clipping time and sheared stock
brings nearly as much as stock with full
grown peits on. Hay, grain and feed is
lower, owing to the small demand. Grocer

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, February 2S.-The
market for all staple cottons shows
undated strength and further advanc-
es are noted in plaids, cheviots, ticks,
ducks and brown sheetings. Raw
cotton helps the market but short sup
plies fully justify the action of sellers.
The demand is of fair extent and full
er than sellers can take complete care
Of. Higher prices existed in leading
bleached goods. Prints higher in all
staple lines. No change in ginghams.
Print cloths quiet but firm. Wooden
and worsted dress goods strong. Plain
fabrics we'll sold for fall and good de-
mand for fabrics. chiefly in low and
medium grades.

COTTON.

NEW YORK, February 2S.-The
widest excitement witnessed on the
Cotton Exchange in recent years pre-
vailed to-day. Transactions reaching
the enormous total of about 100000
bales. The shorts were nothing less
than furious to cover. At times so in
tense was the excitement brokers
would be offering to buy cotton at 2
or points above the price at which
others were furious to cover
