There is q fair and steady business n
progress in most descriptions Of Dry Goods, bus
the recent activity has abated and ia not anticl'
pated to revive before the end OF the month. In
Cotton fSbrics there is much less buoysncy as re-
CARDS price, owing to the strong downward ten
dency which the Cotton market is exhibiting
Holders are scarcely so firm. Wooden Goods are
firm with a steady activity Of demand. Bleached
and unbleached Sbirtings and Sheetings show only
a moderate inquiry and with diminished 6rmness'
holders taking alarm from the aspect OF the Cot
ton market Drills are firm with moderate stock
and fair demand. Osnaburgs continue steady
with very small stock aud very limited demand
DENNIS are in better request and steady IN price
Stripes continue to sell moderately at steady
prices Ticks with good stock are scarcely so
firm for the better grades. Printing Cloths are
dull printers buy as sparngly as possible owing
10 the turn the Cotton market has taken, as well
as to the increase in stock Of Prints in printers
hands. Holders. however, are firm for the mo-
mept. but further decline in Cotton will neces-
state concession in Cloths. The demand for
Prints is no. so brisk and there is an easier tone
in the market, with more desire TO sell from the
increase in stock. A fair business is doing in
Ginghams, bat there is an increase 10 the supply
and prices are without change. Chambrays are
very limited in request with diminished hrmaess
in prices There is more doing in Lawns with
steady supply Of new goods the prices are steady
A SALE however, at auction Of old stock Lawns
from last year took place today which yielded
prices under those current. Muslin de LANES are
selling moderately in extent at steady prices, bat
the demand is not yet active Linseys are dall
and heavy. The clothing trade has been buying
Cloths freely, bat more of foreign than domestic
fabrics There is also more inquiry which prom
ises better activity prices are firm. Ihe
country trade runs mostly on colored cloths. Sat
inets are steady with a fair demand. Cassimeres
are in fair demand and steady in prices. Sleeps
Grays are rather higher for the medium and bet
ter qualities which are not IL so large stock as
the lower grades. Tho demand is good for the
country trade. Fannels are firm and steady,
though in limited demand. The demand has in
measure subsidized for French Goods, but fair
business is doing, though the stocks Of fancy and
millinery goods have been well sifted from the re-
cent more active demand. Blacks are becoming
more brisk of sale. French German and British
Cloths are in fair request especially of the me
dunn and lower grades. Fancy Cassimeres aud
fancy Vestings very active. The stock OF
British Goods is large and in good assortment at
steady but not buoysnt prices holders are very
firm. French Goods are not so heavy in stocks,
the importatons having been very freely taken,
being of more ready demand for the Southern
trade, now in great degree supplied Auction
sales are more numerous but they are confined 20
Auctioneers' hypothecations left over from last
wear. The prices are scarcely so favorable az ten
DAVIS ago. The Clothing Trade itself is very &C.
tive, though it had mainly ceased from buying be-
ing fully stocked. Both for California and the
South an active business is doing aud at good
prices. The Western demand has not yet COM
menced. but q radical change is in progress, con-
tributing to the perpetual enlargement Of the New
York Clothing business which is already fast gain
ing on Boston in this branch. In the West as in
the South, there is an increasing disposition to
buy ready maze OOtulIlS iustSdu VI VIC hi"bCli"i,
and decreasing disposition to put up with
country-made garments. The consequence Is an
ever increasing business here with great 60oyancy
of prices. The demand is now for Summer Clio
thing, and it is well met. Few trades have paid
better than this, or are now paying. Boots aud
Shoes are in the like situations the demand IS
very active and large shipments are still making
for California and large quantities are selling -
the South. These trades have yet suffered 10 re
verse from over.trading to tue Pacific, where the
increase Of population IS so grea. as TO outsrlp all
the estimates of the probable wantS Of the new
State made by shipperH.
