Weekly Review Of the Dry Goods Trade.
New YORK Feb 9-G p NJ


The activity and prosperity OF the dry goods trade
continue TO increase in corresponding ratio with
the advancement Of the season. Southern and Wes-
tern merchants are still here in considerable num-
bcrs, and, though they refrain from making very
heavy purchases, they buy sufficient to render the
aggregate Of their transactions pretty ample, thus
aiding in the preservation Of the brsess and yigor
Of business which local iobbers and shippers com.
pletely support. This is very hopeful aspect OF
the trade, aud one which all parties seem to view
with pleasure, OF the same time that they achnow-

these, the absence Of nearly all last seasons goods

forms one Of the most prominent. Dealers com
menced the spring trade with clear hands, which
made them very lesolute, aud yet pradent. Their
previous three months transactions were conducted
on comparatively cash basis, and when they ended
they found their books agreeaby settled demon
stiating that they had few outstanding debts, with
fully rcplenisbed Golfers. This rendered them in
dependent traders. competent TO bay in the cheapest
market, by paying ready money for their goods or
entering into contracts which many of them could
anticipate, and all promptly cancel The moderate

promising feature OF this seasons business So like
wise, is tie noneyistence Of speculation. Country
merchants and jobbers curail purchases a. much as
their immediate necessities permit, deemlng it tho
better plan 10 buy only they in need. In this
opinion fully concur knowing that il is better to
rish tie payments Of higher prices by dealing mode
rately, than % hazard large losses by ndiscreet and
adventurous operations so far do we prefer this
System Of doing business over all Others that we
would urge its adoption by all casses of commercial
