COTTON GOODS REVIEW

months ago. Jobbers have not been
buying save In Il hand to mouth way,
but the manufacturing trades using
sp!ritins cambray. co!orcd cottons,

moderately. Retail and jobbing dis
tribution for the week was better than
in the week preceding. due TO the
more settled weather conditions. Most
OF the leading cotton goods merchants
believe that trade may be quiet for
a few weeks. possibly until after the
political conventions, but later on they
think the demand Will quicken and
the consumptivc needs Of the country
will assert themselves.
FAN River sold 10000 pieces OF
cotton printcloths last week, and
total shipments OF domestic from the

New York, May e6.-The stock mar

Swallowed during the previous week.
No acute effect was produced by the
campaign for the presidential nomina-

maries. The disposition TO refrain
from active operations in the market
however. was attributed to a desire to
await the further shaping OF the
mixed political prospect and its pos
sibe effect in again unsettling the
business revival. Anxiety on that
account was aliayed by continued good
