More activity has been apparent the pas. week
In the domestic dry goods trade and for oil desirable
productions firmer, though not generally higher
prices have been procured, whenever any trsnssc.
tions have occurred. Tho demand has been mainly
speculative, a. tho prospects are that with reduc
ed supply and diminished production, manufactured
goods will increase In value. We have also to
notice fair inquiry from local and country Dealers
bat these have only purchased as they stood really
IN want Of stock, and have in the main bseD very
reluctant to pay sss -:.ss nom generally claimed by
factors. The shipping business has BEEN quite
limited, and been q source Of very little profit to
parties engaged in it.
Beached sheetings and shirtings are attracting
more attention and are gradually rising. Bleached
goods seem brsker though they not realy dearer
Cotton fannels have not varied. Denins are SALE
able aud firm. Drills are rather quiet, but are
steady In price. Duck IL spariDgly offered, and is
quoted on the advance. The transactions therein,
however, are mot large. Ginghams are unchanged.
Lawns are In request at former rates. NAPKINS ap-
pear as last noticed. Osnaburgs are scarce and
stifiy held, but rule quiet. Printing cloths remain
In light supply at very fall prices but are NOT brisk
ly sought after. Prints are unaltered. Stripes and
with greater nrmns@
woollen productions are In moderate supply and
demand at about previous quotations. Nothing
particularly new has occurred in blankets. There
IL fair inquiry for fancy cassimeres at fun prses.
Cloths, doeskins and fAnnels are selling slowly, but
are unchanged in value. Jeans are brsker and
shade Armer Linseys, too, appear more active,
but otherwise unaltered. Mousln de LANES rule
quiet Of old figures. 6atinets and tweeds are moro
freely dealt in at strengthening prices.
Foreign fabrics are less active than domestic, but
with very moderate receipts and equally moderate
stocks Of desirable articles, prices Of most desorp
lions arc pretty well supported. The auction basis
ness continues rather lively but Its leading feature
have not varied materially. II Is easy to sell sea
soDable produ ctiops-which are not abundant, IN
der present circumstances at full prices but II
quite difficult TO find buyers on any terms for nm
popular goods. The preparations for the next sea
sons trade are beir made with some degree Of ibe
rslity and even bodness, but SO fax what has been
completed in this way has given no evidence Of ex-
trsvaganee In any respect. II Is to be wished tina
