DRY GOODS REVIEW,

New York. Jan. 3.-At this period OF
the year no active trading in cotton goods
is expected. and meme has taken place.
buyers are now trying to test out the
basis OF value in the markets preparatory
20 placing fall orders on cotton blankets
and mapped goods. aud to resuming the
purchase of goods of a domestic and staple
character for the next few months. Sup
plies in frsts and seconds are not as
large as q year ago. Trading in gray
cloths is being followed closely, and during
the past week some business has been
done at the bottom prices. based upon
81 cents for 39t2 inch. e4x6Os. and Az
cents for 60X40s. This represents q de
cline of about seven per cent from the top
prices of last year, and is not offset in
cotton price changes. Buyers for whole
sale houses will come to the market in
large numbers about the middle of the
month. and by that time it is believed
gray goods will have settled to a level
that will represent a safe basis for a fu-
ture movement. New fall wash goods are
being shovn..and many fancy cottens are
still coming on the market. Heavy wide
duck is quoted at - per cent of the list
compared with % OF. the highest point
touched last year. DENNIS. tickings. sta
staples are in light supply and leading
mills have orders for them to keep loom
busy well into March. Prices rule as

New York, Jan. 3-Stocks were de
pressed abruptly today after Il quiet mar
ket opening which gave no hint Of the
verse influences were brought to bear upon
the market they were not Of sufficient
Importance TO explain the sudden unload
ing of stocks in the first hour, during
which leading issues were sold in blocks
Of several thousand shares. The selling
apparently was professional. Toward the
close a partial recovery was made.
Activities on the long side were cur
tailed by the tightness of money at the
year-end period, although the bank state
ment gave promise of an Improvement. An
actual gain Of Sill, 7SS,GOO was shown. and
a gain of nearly 3,0O0, GOO in surplus was
reported. A large increase in business
failures and further railroad reports for
earnings, Influenced sentiment unfavOrably.
Bears sought to make capital from the
withdrawal OF the Morgan firm from var
ious directories, on the ground that this
step with similar action to come on the
part Of the other large financial interests,
would bring unsettlement in the securities
market. The street was Inclined, however,
to take the opposite view.

Prof. BaIdwin's Book

The Cornwall Memorial Library has recently received an accession of some interest ill a volume called Our Modern Debt to Israel, written by Edward c. Baldwin. Born and reared in Cornwall, MT. Baldwin is now Professor of English the book has been out only few weeks, it is attracting a good deal of attention, particularly from the Jewish people. The current number of The B mai Birth News. the most influential Jewish paper in America, contains review of the book, from which the following excerpts are taken:
 The author is assistant professor of English Literature at the University of Illinois; he is not theologian or teach CT of religion or of Biblical literature, and yet, how we'll versed he is in the Hebre W Scripture. how deeply he penetrates into the spirit of our Bible, how truly his mind embraces the full knowledge of the vast domain of Biblical literature, how deeply he enters into the life and ethical mission of the Jewish prophets. and into the position and functions of the Jewish priests How well he under stands the messages of Israel's sages, the significance of Israel in the modern world and the value of the Hebrew law It is indeed a delight to read his thoughts and to follow his ideas. In all hls interpretations and deductions he is brilliant, and entirely free from preju- dice, which is rarely the case with other Christian interpreters of the Jewish Bible.
 The contents of the first chapter of his book, "The Literature of Israel" Pro- lessor Baldwin sets forth iu an address delivered before the Chicago B'nai Brith lodges. He delighted his audience with his ingenious interpretations of Biblical passages, his liberal sympathetic asser tions concerning the modern Jew, the richness of his knowledge and the great ness of his scholarly attachments.
