The dry GOODS trade has manifested great changes
since our last. The demand has been fair
calculated upon by the most experienced Dealers and
atoms in prices very slight. The market is not
stocked, but It affords good assortment and buyers
find great difficulty in securing suitable selections,
excepting in the of very choice fabrics the
supply Of which is inadequate and for which higher
rates anticipated.

FRIDAY, March 23-6 p. M.
The STOCK market was wonderfully sustained TO-
day, considering the intense anxiety existing rsls-
tive to the arrival Of the steamship Atlantic. Bust
ness s very much unsettled and very little dispos
on Is exhibited to operate in stocks either for an
Improvement or decline. The tendency, however,
amidst the suspense, was upwards, and in some Of
the leading fancies moderate advance was realized.
At the first board New YORK Central bonds went
up per cent; Cumberland Coal, 4; Erie Railroad,
i; Hudson River Railroad, L; Michigan Central
Railroad, Ii Michigan Southern Railroad, 1. Cleve.
land and Toledo declined per cent; Missouri 6's,
/. Nicaragua Transit was very firm, with more
activity; Reading Railroad remains without change;
it has been firmly established at about its present
points. It win not 60 at any time more than a
fraction or 80 below current rates. the margin for
variations being upwards. Railroad bonds are
again becoming active. Illinois and E,iss were In
better demand this morning. Erie Rsilr lad stock
moves up and down, in small way, with great
facility. There is party of operators in the street
talking about GO per cent before the LIST of July,
upon the strength of scrip dividend in October,
to the extent Of the sinking fund. The dividend at
that time and to that extent Is not at all i'm.
possible but are In considerable doubt about the
sixty per cent in market value by the LIST Of July.
Speculation may put the stock at that point, but it
can have no permanency. State stocks were freely
offered to-day, and in the face of the large supply in
tho market prices were well sustained. Missouri
and Virginia 6s have been dai offered In large lots
for several weeks, and there appears to be no end
to the supply. Many Of the pur- bases are for
foreign account, and the bonds are gradually going
out Of the country for permanent investment ILL
nois Internal Improvement stock Of 1847 has been
In demand within the past day or two, and prices
rule well up.
After the adjournment Of the board, the following

The Conclusion of the Matter.

ANXIOUS 10 do Justice to all concerned IN
the difficulties in Cincinnati, we have endeav-
ored to lay before our readers such fair and
candid statements Of facts as have been fur
nished BIZ the papers of that city. AS the
matter now stands, the whole thing can be
easily understood The candidates Of the
Democratic party, notwithstanding the ont
RACES committed by the Knot Nothings
upon the ballot boxes of the Eleventh and
Twelfth warls, have received their certiica-
ties Of election, and have entered upon the
discharge of their respective duties and the
fact is not questioned that the "Ordef'' has
been thoroughly defeated, besides being COW
cred with modification and disgrace Thus
far is all we'll; and IL is more than gratifying
that our Democratic brethren in the Queen
City have so conducted themselves, that their
worst enemies cannot with any show 6f Jus
tice say any evil thing of them We rejoice
at this, as IT sh5ws that in any of the great
emergencies which are likely 20 arise hereaf-
TEL, the Democracy will be found true to the
teachings of our political gospel, and steadfaSt
in their love Of law aud order even under the
most trying circumstances. From all accounts,
the German population of Cincinnati have
conducted themselves admirably Their con-
appeals strongly to the good sense and kind
feelings of the American people, and the
best possible proof that they are worthy to
enjoy the rights anil immunities of freernen.
Z And this is but the beginning Know No.
thingism is but the third edition of the old
Hartford Convention-the spirit Of that old
abomination brought forth in a premature
resurrection, to be tried and condemned By
the intelligence Of the nineteenth century, aud
cast into the bottomless pit It has grown M
in night, and will perish in day, when the
sun shall shine upon it. The work of exter-
mination has been commenced, and Ia due
time will be completed. The Democracy are
alone its adversaries, and arc destined to be
its conquerors. We would, therefore earnest
ly call upon all those who love the great
doctrines of our political faith, at once and
forever to cut themselves loose from all en-
tangling alliances with the advocates Of side
issues, and be prepared for the work which is
before them. The Democracy of this mighty
nation will have to fight one more great battle
not only against the foes of equal rights
among us, but possibly against the combined
dynasties of Europe 1t is high time that all
who have wandered from the political field
should prepare to return C1eOeland Plan
