COTTON GOODS EXPORTS, GAIN.

NEW YORK, March 24.-Slow but
steady improvement in export sale of
cotton goods is reported here. The
most encouraging thing about it is
the increase in the foreign call for
colored cottons, more especially the
low-end drills and suitings. At the
same time there is a growing call for
some of the heavier constructions of
brown sheetings. One Of the most en-
couraging features of the present ex-
port buying is the reviving call from
