Total value put the market during the week 81 oss
The activity referred to in our last continues with.
out abatement, and seasonabe descriptions of dry
goods find ready buyers among country and local
dealers, at prices which yield factors satisfactory
profit, though not so much in this regard as some
had anticipated, because pressure to sell domestic
productions has given rise to slight degree Of ir
regularity and weakness in the market for such
Still the adverse changes do not merit any unusual
attention for no nsupportable reaction has yet set
in, and by care and judgment this can be warded of
during the remainder of the season. We have sell
dom seen a lighter amount Of goods In the ma ket
ct this of the year, and not more frequently
has the assortment been 40 good Hence we do not
think there Is any great necessity for hasty action
on the part Of holders. They will find good mar
ket for whatever they have to sell adapted TO the
taste OF buyers, IL they will but avoid trying to
evoke fictitious demand, and be satisfied to supply
TIE wants of their customers they spring up.
Foreign productions are among the liveliest,
ard il Is not saying too much to add
that they are held with the utmost frmnes-.
Brown aud bleached sheetings and shiringa in
fair demand, but rather anguid. Cotton hannels
ore sparingly offered at old rates, white being mo-
deateiy inquired for Denims are inactive and on
the decline. Drills are taken in lots az wanted at
former quotations. Duck Is plenty and heavy, at
last weeks rates. Ginghama are saicable aud iirn.
Lawns and nankins are unchanged. There Ii more
movement in osnaburgs at old figures. Printing
cloths lightly dealt in without alteration In va.
lue Prints are taken to a fair extent, but at M.
settled prices. Stripes and ticks are brskcr. but
not dearer Woollen goods are pretty actively
sought after, bnt in prices thereof there Is slight
leaning in favor Of purchasers Blankets are IN
altered. There is steady business being transacted
in cassmeres, cloths and docskins, at former rates.
Fannels are as last noticed. Jeans sell more freely
bu, not more adyantageously. Mouslin dclaines arc
in good request at fu previous figures. Lnseys
are quiet and irregular. Satinets, shaws and
tweeds evince increased animation, but no
other improvement, the existing demand
being readily met ~ old quotations.
Foreign productions generally in brisk request,
and for all that Is really adapted to the current sea
son holders readily obtain, in private trade
All through the auction rooms satisfactory prices.

is not, however, nearly conspicuous az in former
seasons, nor il il dreaded that il viii yet become 80
distinct. Most importers regard the current traffic
as nationally prosperous and remembering the cx.

Of fresh invoices scarcely exceed the requirements
Of the trade and there i no alarming accumulation
