ing from The New York Tribune, as indicative
Of what is to be expected in the dry goods line.
CalitoeS and wearables generally ore to keep
pace, in The advance Of prices, with ealablss:
One Of the most striking features OF the d,y
goods market Is, that there are no job goods TO
be picked up, as has been usual al this season
Of ihs year. The great wooden jobbers have
taken up, weeks ago, all they could Rnd, and
tho anticipation Of further advance in the
spring is such. that some Of the obbers have
resod at a profiIIo spectators. Wooen goods
are ouI Of frs. hands, though not ou. Of market
lin like manner as The raw material itself 10
mostly in the hands Of spectators, who have
bought up the stock, anticipating large profit
from the necessities Of the manufacturers
Stocks Of cotton domestic goods continue low,
and prices keep tending upward, and seem dis.
posed 10 reach much higher point, under the
Influence o a largo and increasing consumption.
IL is common remark among dry goods houses
lha,thc is no knowing where prices will go.
These circumstances are encouraging TO import.
eEs, and our Imports will be very large 10 the
coming season. The rise in prices abroad is
not sufficient to check The orders, Consumption
is good, at much higher level Of prices The
country is rich. Money abOunds all over
