WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW.

New York, Jan. 3.--At this period of the year trading in cotton goods is inactive. Buyers are now trying to test out the basis of value in the markets preparatory to placing fall orders on cotton blankets and mapped goods, and to resuming the purchase of goods of a domestic and staple character for the next few months. Supplies in first hands are not gen erally as large as they were a year ago and there are still many unified orders on mill books. Trading in gray cloths is being followed closely and during the past week some busi- ness has been done at the bottom prices, based upon 5 Is cent for 38 1-2 inch, 64x6s, and 3-S cent for G0x4Ss. This represents a decline of about 7 per cent from tire top prices of last year and is not offset in cotton price changes.
 Buyers for wholesale 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 shown and many fancy cot tons are still coming in on the mar let Heavy wide duck is quoted at 25 per cent off the list, compared with 25 off, the highest point touched last year.
 Denims, tickings, staple ginghams, percale and many staples, are in light supply, and leading mills have orders for them to keep busy well into March Prices rule as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S-inch. 64x64s, 3-4c nominal; 64x60, 31.2c; standard southern sheetings, Sc and S1-4c; denims. Bounce, 14 1-2c; tickings, s. ounce, 1S 1-2c; standard prints, lie standard staple ginghams, 61-4c; dress ginghams, 3-4c.

New York Jan. 3.--With 76-mile gale from the northeast driving huge seas against bulkheads already weak ened or broken through by the great storm of Christmas night, the New Jersey coast points today and to- night underwent perhaps their worst experience in many years A high surf ran along The entire coast and some feared that with the coming of high tide toward morning the seas would wash over much of the railway which did not suffer in the previous storm.
 So far no loss of life has been re- ported The damage to property al- ready mounts well into the hundreds of thousands. Most of this has been done 70 dwellings and other struc- lures.
 Seabright. as in the storm of two weeks ago, bore the brunt of the pres ent storm as the result of it's exposed position on a narrow sand pit between the ocean and the Shrewsbury river Today bulkheads that had wi.hstood the previous storm gave way addi- tional sections were flooded and more summer dwellings were wrecked or badly undermined. The Octagon hotel damaged already to the extent of s60,- 900, may become a total loss.
 The old St. Peters church at Cali lee is in an exposed position and is in danger of going into the sea The bulkhead was badly damaged and he lawn washed cut, Fishermen worked hard to save the church. Along the buIkhead the waves beat with tre- mendous force. Frequently they rose to a height of 30 feet, when they broke. When the darkness came lit tie progress had been made by work CTS along shore to stop the seas ray ages with temporary bulkheads. Bulkheads at Normandie gave way and all train service on the Highland l division of the Central railroad of New Jersey was discontinued aMny telephone wires are down.
 At Asbury Park no great damage has been done up to a late hour to- night. On Long Island as well as on the Jersey coast the situation in many places was regarded as critical. Many of theI temporary bulkheads erected after the storm on Christmas night have been swept out to sea, with the result that much property is at the mercy of the high waves As fas as Rock Beach many small houses have been washed out to sea and for time several of the large summer hotels were in danger Nasty rein forcements of their foundations avert ed great loss. Most piers have been destroyed and many boats lost Edgemere's entire water front is in peril huge seas washing over the 1s- foot bulkheads which protect the | place In what is known as the Ham mells section every breakwater Is down and many Nt!dings are in dan | ger of colapsing.
