THE DRY GOODS MARKET. +

THE DRY GOOD'S MARKET.
The New York Dry Goods Reporter gives the an
nexed intelligence in relation to the Dry Goods busi.
ness of the last week:
In Satinets there is still some movement, although
the market is more crcumscrbed than formerly. With
the same demand from the clothing trade that has
existed in former years, the present stock would have
been exhausted, but low price Cassimeres now sup
sale.
Shawls are in limited request, and are probably the
most satisfactory article to the manufacturer that has
been produced during the past year.
Nous. de LANES still continue in demand, and ad.
vances are well sustained.
Flannels continue in demand, although sales are
slower than they were few weeks ago. Should the
present prospective Californian demand be realized
and wool continue at its present price, there will be
no decline in this article.
Brown Sheetings and Shirtings are quiet at ad-
vanced rates. We hear of few sales medium heavy
goods for the southwestern market at 71c Holders
however, not anxious to press sales, even at pres
ent asking prices.
Bleached Goods are no more animated than Brown
Goods. Stocks are low: but the fact that supply
can be obtained at any time, will think check all
speculation for the present.
The old stock of Prints is so completely out of
market that many of our heaviest dealers could moi
muster Is Of dark styles, if there demand
them at remuneyatng prices. The receipts of light
goods have already been considerable, and sales OF
new styles have been made at &c for the same class
goods that were cleaned out at 63c. There s spec
ulative movement in blue and orange and some lines
have been closed at old prices.
In Printing Cloths we have been rather in request
We hear of sales to the extent of $4,000 pieces,
portion of which were on terms not made public al
though we understand they were fully up to quoted
sales. Sales Of the week: $500 pieces 5sx64, Sc
square, % inch, Al; 5000 "56 square, % inch, 81
We understand that offers cents (sx months) have
been refused for 5000 pieces 6Ox68, % inch, and
also of Al for large lot of 60 square.
The demand of Foreign Dry Goods is over, but The
sales of the month so far will, think, foot up Sc
per cent heavier than during the corresponding period
last year.
Accounts of the rise in all descriptions Of European
Goods in the manufacturing districts. backed by the
knowledge Of the advance in the great staples from
which they made, has induced all classes to be
lieve that they will be obliged to pay higher prices
spring purchases than they have paid for those
| the past year.
Among those who do linen trade in British Good.
we observe some animation, and also hear Of q few
sales Of the lower descriptions Of Blankets, at better
prices than have been obtained during the past
while higher grades can be purchased at s ~ pei
| cent lower than rates current the early trade
| French and Continental Goods have been more
active than British fabrics. There is constant in.
quy for staple goods, such as black silks, satins, &c
and In some instances prices 10 per cent higher
have been obtained than could be realized four si1
| weeks since. On dress goods this demand may bs
cassed as speculative, but for black sans is legt
innate, coming from clothers who supply fashionable
dealers at the South and Southwest.
We hear Of some slight movement in German
Hosiery, but not of sufficient importance to influence
the market either one way or the other. Yarns are
ruling 90 much higher in England than they did las
season. these goods must come out higher charged
We should also ado the fact that those parties In Eu
rops'wh supplied our Auction naarts SO freely have
all failed, - -
