While the market for the rnw material Is displaying weakness, the market for manufactured goods Is growing In strength, with no let up In the demand In sight, ns shown by the following extract from the review of the dry goods mnrket of The New York Commercial of Inst'Knturdny: ••Buyers who have Inquired the spot price Of sheetings, drills, blenched goods nnu col ored cottons have been restrained from taking them on first henrlng.the new range Of prices, and have nfily returned later to find that a jsirtlon only of their require ments could he filled.
