Dry Goods.

New York, May IA slight improve
ment is noticeable in certain quarters
in the dry goods market and buyers seem
to be taking more interest in future bus
mess. Reports from the western centers
are not encouraging for immediate bus
mess, however as climatic conditions are
unfavorable to an expansion of retail
trade. The higher cost of raw cotton
gives added warrant to sellers in their
reluctance to yield to the opportunities of

NEW CROP MONTHS EASY
Interior Movement Was Rather 6uIlish
and This Also Helped the Advance
Which Carried Prices Back
to the Best of the Week.

Their strength under firm Liverpool cables
smaller receipts, the continued strength
Of New Orleans and renewed indications of
an uncovered short interest in the near
months May opened at 1896 and sold up
to 1899 against 1918 the closing price OF
yesterday, thus showing an advance of
IS points and new high level for the
season. July reached 1915 and the general
list at this time was net to 10 points
higher. The new crop months again show
ed relative easiness as a result of favor
able weather and the better tone OF
private crop advices. The bull pool sold
moderately at the higher levels Of the
morning, feeding out May carefully with
the apparent intention of preventing any
more serious stampedes of the nearby
shorts Under this influence in connection
with the favorable weather the list eased
off, selling down to a level points higher
to points lower. Following this, how
ever, the market was again rallied by
buying based on the sensational develop
ments in the August option at New Or
leans which sold up SO points from yestere
days close. The Interior movement was
rather bullish and this also helped the
advance which carried prices back to
about the best of the day and the market
at the close was very steady at net
advance of 3 to 16 points. that being within
