The Leading features of the Dry Goods trade
are without alteration. Less has been dong
this than last week, and little business is
anticipated until about the middle of January
Bleached and unbleached sheetings and shirt
ings are very quiet but the moderate stocks are
firmly held, and there is no disposition to force
sales Prices are steady. Drills have been in
course of shipment to trihing extent otherwise
they are dull Osnaburgs are very firm and buoy
ant. The limited stock will ensure a further ad-
vance, though the already high price has thrown
consumers more on foreign Bagging. Denims are
steady with limited stock but with suspended de-
mand. Stripes are buoyant, with fair inquiry
Ticks are inactive. Cotton Flannes are very dull.
Printing cloths are very firm with restricted de.
mand, at the advanced rates current offers at
lower rates are generally refused, the market not
ustifying q concession at present cost of mate
rial, and the prospect of good demand early in
the year to come Prints also not active. M an
ufacturers are fully employed on the Spring styles
which are about coming forward, at howeververy
full prices. Ginghams are in good request with
m insofiieient ssooh, and advancing prices. DO
nestle ginghams still have an advantage in price
supply the whole demand Cotton Pantaloonery
are quiet but firm with a small stock. Muslin de
LANES are not active The Spring goods are COM
ing forward to order but the trade has not opened
There is no back stock to work of of foreign kinds
there is better stock left over from the Fall sea-
SOD, which are steadily held. Wooden domestic
cloths have improved There has been good in
quiry from the City clothing trade and as the stock
is small prices are better and more buoyant. Liver
pool cloths are mostly wanted. The consumption
Of domestic cassmeres is very great, and is gain
ing rapidly foreign goods Of this description,
the consumption of which is now reduced to high
priced Jersey goods and choice blacks. The pre-
sent dem and is very fair foT the city trade, and
Southern demand is shortly anticipated. Satinets
have improved The demand has been on the in
crease for the last few weeks the stock being
held at moderate prices at which it could not be
replaced. Prices are buoyant. Sleeps greys are
in very limited request, and Csshmerets dull
Jeans heavy in stock but are very firmly held
The demand is fair for the season Tweeds are
more active but steady. Flannels are in mode
rate request, snd prices are strengthening owing
to the increasing cost of production andlow stocks
Foreign woolens have been rather active the last
few days and prices are buoyant The impossi-
bility Of replacing imported woolens at present
prices is inducing some purchasesin anticipation Of
an advance. By the Baltic we learn that the price
of wool is rising, and orders for goods cannot be
executed but at an advance. Silks show more in
quiry, and are buoyant in price. An early activi-
ty of the Spring trade is plainly indicated. The
South are large buyers, and the demand for that
quarter is about commencing Jobbers are buy
ing considerably in preparation. German goods
are in fair request. The importations are
yet light, but many cargoes are known to
be on their way out, so that January will witness
a considerable increase to our imports. But the
advi ces as well as the existing circumstances in
dictate moderate imports during the ensuing Spring,
especially of British goods French and Cont.
mental goods viii arrive more freely as there are
no very heavy stocks here, and they will be in re-
quest though prices will range higher. Our taste
decidedly for French goods the Southern taste
especially end the present prosperity Of the South
from the high prices they have been receiving for
their produce will enable them 70 pay higher prices.
We anticipate therefore, full, but not excessive
importation Of all French fabrics We are safe
for the Spring. and the Fall OF next year is too far
distant to induce any safe judgment; but judging
from the increasing communication with Europe
there must obtain nicer and juster adaptation Of
supply to demand, from greater and more accur
ate acquaintance in detail with all the markets
1t is however to the Fall that we have to look for
the greater exercise OF caution. Rs the cireumGtan
ces Of the money markets Of Europe and at home
may be widely different, and alter az once the as
Pect Of the markets, both OF the raw and manu-.
featured articles, and the relation of supply and
demand.
