The dry goods business has manifested less animation
during the week, but in the absence Of Oppressive
stocks important changes have occurred in prices
Country dealers have purchased with less freedom
having previously had their most urgent wants sup.
Piled, and finding it at present difficult to procure de-
sirable lots while local obbers have only bought what
they needed to keep up assortment and the de-
mands Of their customers 1t Is generally believed
that the seasons business win be unusually light and
not very lucrative. AL that is expected to be
that great losses will be felt We think these rea
scnable expectations are apt to be realized.
Brown shestings and shirtngs Of lsuable kinds have
attracted considerable notice at full rates. Nothing
ally new has occurred bleached goods, cotton fan
nes, denims There has been rather activity in
drills, but these have not varied in price Duck is dull
and dropping. Gnghams sell slowly at former reduced
rates Lawns are unchanged. Osnaburgs sell quiet but
are pretty firm Printing cloths appear in less request
at langud prices Prints inactive and depressed
Stripes and ticks remain in limited demand at old quo.
tations The movements in woollen gools have been
quite moderate at very feeby sustained rates. Blankets
inactive and nominal Cassimeres in pretty fair
demand at former figures; but cloths dosskns Aannes
jeans and iinseys sparngy dealt in at downward
tending prices. Mousn de LANES appear active but
not lower Satnets and tweeds lm ed request
and languid in price.
Foreign manufactures less sought after, both 10
private and public; and those having supplies
hand not disposed to hold them over, (being Of
generally poor character, and not likely to sell to
advantage at any future day. there is manifested
slight eagsrness to sell, which, however, is unaccompa.
MED by any inclination to reduce prices Hence buyers
take hold very cautiously The current sales mostly
made in small parcels and embrace little other than the
choicest fabrics, excepting in where stocks
offered at prices suited to the views Of purchasers
whose bids regulated for the most part strictly by
their pressing wants Hence undesirable fabrics have
to be let of at extremely low rates. while for really
srable goods pretty fair prices being realized.
