Dry Goods
New York, May 10.-The primary cot
ton goods market was quiet during the
day, converters and jobbers buying spar
ingly. The wooden goods markets are
dull, particularly on goods OF the nearby
delivery. Some manufacturers of dress

purchasers are not plentiful, even at

This slight easing off was due to rather
more favorable accounts from the cotton
belt. The weather map was clear and
dry with somewhat higher temperatures
throughout the cotton belt than have
prevailed for several days. The forecast
was for continued fair weather. which
the trade thought was what was needed,
the recent rains.

market stiffened on determined bull sup
port induced by cable messages from Liv-
erpool, stating that the possibility of labor
trouble among the Lancashire cotton mills
had been averted by the master spinners

reduction in wages July was forced up
to is cents, where much long cotton came
out, and then was gradually put higher
until toward noon 1900 was touched. This
