WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 DRY GOODS MARKET

New York. February 12-Accom- panying the decline in cotton, the cot ton goods market last week inclined toward quietness, buyers being desir- ous of noting the effect on the mills. Aside from concessions on sales of spot goods of print cloth there was little change in prices and mills as a rule were not willing to accept contracts at values below those that have been current for some time. These values do not promise profit on production based upon any cotton obtained in the crop and rather than go on the mills are continuing to stop looms as their orders run out. At Fall River last week were reported, 40.000 of which were for spot delivery. The curtailment there has reached about 10000 pieces of goods weekly In New Bedford from 25 to 30 per cent of the looms available for fine cloths are idle.
 Miscellaneous export trade is fair but there is difference of per cent against the buyer because of the fall in silver and exchange so that Oh ina trading is at a standstill Efforts to break through the prices on drills and sheetings were not successful in any of the branded goods, but some small sales of unbranded products for various do- nestle uses are heard of at conces- sions varying. from 1sc to 1 1-16c yard. Retailers have been very numer- ous in the market. They are operat- ing conservatively and are doing bet ter on domestics, prints, ginghams and wash fabrics than on miscellaneous raa merchandise oIe on order are wanted on time and small recorders are coming forward daily The lack of desire to anticipate wants makes the outlook unsatisfactory.
