We shall recur to this letter again
With implicit confidence in rise of prices
within a short period, holders Of stocks both OF
Woolens and Cottons, Domestics and Foreign
goods are exceedingly firm, and an increase Of
activity is observable. Beached Shirtings aud
Sheetings, with good stock, are very steady in
price; the demand is fair. Unbleached are quiet
but with great frmness Of prices Drills are IN
limited request ut firm and steady Prieos Osna-
burgs are very firm at prices above the limits oil
buyers the stock is very small. Denims have
been active for home consumption and prices have
an upward tendency. In stripes there is more
business doing at steady prices. Low qualities
Of Ticks are in good request, but the prices are
on the adva~ce, which, in some degree, checks
the demand. Printing Cloths are in increasing
demand at full prices; an advance is anticipated.
Prints are also beginning to move more readily.
The new styles are coming forward and higher
prices are reslising. The new designs are favor
ably spoken Of, though too much running on the

guest. The supply Of imported styles will be
light, the domestic styles having eiectualy over
come the foreign. Prices are steady and good
business is in prospect. Chambrays are active
for clothing purposes and prices steady. Lawns
are less active, buyers waiting the auction sale
which is announced. The small supply amid a
good competition renders this mode of sale the
preferable one. We have no doubt Of high prices
being realised. Cotton Pantaloonery has been in
good demand and prices are very steady. Muslin
de LANES are quiet, yet an active business is
near at hand. The assortment Of new goods is
large and desirable and prices firm. Cloths
are in growing request Holders are firm
and prices are upward in their tendency
especially for low-priced goods. Plain and
black Cassimeres are in better request. Fancy
Goods Of new styles are coming into mar
ket but there is little activity at present. Sat
inets continue to improve the demand is good
and on the increase and prices correspond.
Sleeps grays are steady at Strengthening prices.
Tweeds have been more active, especially the
finer grades. Csshemerets are in demand for
the clothing trade. Jeans have been more active.
Flannels are quiet and steady The shipments Of
Clothing and Boots and Shoes continue large for
California, both from this port and Boston. Brit
ish Woolens have been in good demand for the
clothing trade, and prices are very steady. The
supplies of the season are arriving, but there
is no esgemess to sell so as to lower prices and
the greater frmness is operating to the restriction
Of early sales. buyers fnessing and holding back
in hopes Of easier prices. French goods are also
active at very full prices and with light compare
TIVE supplies. Printed Cottons are in good as
sortment and command considerable inquiries
Silks are in bEt moderate request, bat
are firmly held. The stock is not heavy.
Ribbons are not Yet in large supply bat will be
little nearer the Spring. The prices are high,
and will continue so FROM the limited imports, in
reference 70 the active demand. The importations
Of French goods have hitherto fallen of as COM
pared with this time last year, and should they
be equal in amount viii evidently be later in the
seasOn. We DO not therefore expect any excess
OF importation They will more likely be less
than our growing demand FOR French goods re-
quires. This is owing to the production IN France
not keeping pace with the increased demand in !
consequence Of the higher price Of raw silk The |
elk fabrics OF Paris and LyOns still form the bulk
Of the French importation. These goods constant.

Cotton and Wooden fabrics Of France on the con-
n ny show decline in the importation. our
own manufactures coming more In contact and
