Dry Goods Market Shows Hopeful Tone for Plain Cottons
The Herald reports a cautious but improving mood in dry goods as agents refrain from active selling while deliveries of existing orders proceed.

Retail demand remains steady for summer fabrics, with retailers cautious about future price rises yet buying to meet actual needs.
