Since our last notice, comparatively fair bust
ness has been transacted, mainly in domestic dry
goods, and as the receipts have continued light,
and the stocks remaining here have continued to
diminish, prices Of all favorite articles have tended
upwards. Domestic cottons have evinced the
greatest flrmness and buoyancy; in these, our
manufactures have attained more success than in
any other productions. The causes of this fatser.
ing attainment are well known to all parties, as is
also the fact that similar causes would lead to the
same results in the fabrication of other commodi-
ties. Yet it is undeniable that In the manufacture
Of woollens and other textile fabrics, we are, as
people, far behind our trans Atlantic rivals. 1t is
this inferiority quite much anything else that
has left the market for al American fabrics, save
colt ons, so dull and depressed for several months
The experience Of the past year concusivey proves
this. We hope It's lessons will not be lost upon the
interested parties.
Brown and bleached sheetings aud shirtings are
in steady request at previous quotations. Cotton
fiannels have not varied much. DENNIS are quiet,
but held with much firmness. Drills seem pretty
brisk ar d buoyant. Duck Is unchanged. Giurhams
In rather better request and are on the advance
Lawns and nankins are as previously reported.
Osnaburgs are less abundant and are tending mn.
wards. Printing cottons are also rarer, and held
4c. per yard higher, but are rather quiet. Prints
are in fair supply and demand at strengthening
prices Stripes and ticks are seemingly brisker and
trile Hrmer.
woollen goods are in reduced stock and limited
demand, with, however, no important change in
prices Blankets, cloths and cassimeres appear uu-
altered. Doeskins are retailing ct steady rates.
