cotton goods frmness and a rather more
optimistic feeling are noJed as a result
OF curtailed production, small stocks in

In wooden dress goods, demand is not
greatly changed. The advance o. the sea-
son has not made FOR especial activity
IN building. Throughout all lines there
IS evidence Of conservatism in ordering.
but, except in the clothing trade at some
eenteFs, there are no actual complaints
OF stocks being other than light"

no alteration to-day in the essential
character OF the stock market. the
outward face OF the market was
changed. Instead of yesterdays fury

were disclosed, There seemed TO be a
prevailing impression in the financial
district that the extraordinary gyrations
