more activity was manifested in the
drygoods market today and the
tone of the market was helped by
the stronger trend of the raw sta
pie Manufacturers are slow to &C
cept lower bids vita which the
volume of demand, in its present
state, and buyers are holding off
in anticipation of an improved de-
mand for diminished goods. Wide
print cloths were somewhat more
active and there has been come in
quiry for drills but the goods are
wanted at very low prices. Sheet
ings and fine yarn cloths showed
no important features although
prices continue steady. Gray goods
gave little indication Of renewal of
any special activity but there was
notp ressure of offerings.
