DRY GOODS QUIET.

NEW YORK. February l (SpeciaD. -
The dry goods market continued to-
day to reflect the determination of
buyers to await further StabiliZation
of conditions and of the mills to hold
firm in the matter of prices. The
print cloths showed little change. and
price ranges were narrow. with some
sales shading an eighth of a cent
from prevailing quotations. Cotton
yarns and sheetings were soft and
dull. The demand for gray goods for
China is making itself evident, and
some purchases were made today
which are believed to be for Chinese
consumption. There was some re-
newal of interest in ginehams, outing
flannels and khaki shrtings.
Trading in finished silk goods here
remained stagnant. little if any effect
being produced by the lower raw silk
prices in primary markets. Even
manufacturers of the much wanted
crepes are working only three or four
days a week. Creme de chine and
Canton are in chief demand. with a
somewhat better trend in ribbons
Satns, and taffetas are very quiet.

NEW YORK. February IA new
high record for the United Kingdom
51a per cent maturity of 1929 was
practically the only response made
by bonds today to trade news or the
movements in other markets. This
continued advance in the 1925, with
strength in the other British and the
Canadian external loans, was coin
cident with the further rise in ster-
ling exchange. With the exception OF
the Rio de Janeiro Ss. which rose a
point to fresh top. the foreign gov
crnment list remained steady. Liberty
bonds worked slightly higher.
The rest of the market was irregu-
lar and prices appeared unaffected
by the temporarily higher rates for
call money. United States Steel sink
ing fund IS sold around their final
price of yesterday and showed no dis
position to sag. Other steel bonds
were little changed.
