In regard to the Dry Goods trade The Indepeadem
says
1.-THE importers generally are very busy this week.
The sales OF one house in single day amounted to
more than the transactions Of the whole month OF jan
uary last year. Buyers, however, excepting those
from a distance, not yet making their heaviest
purchases. The Philadelphia jobbers are later in
market this season than usual, very few having yet
made their appearance; AID the same true regard
to Boston and Baltimore. Next week promises to be
a very busy one.
"Some Of the large importing houses affirm tina, all
their goods are looming early this season. while
Others say that the manufacturers had many orders
in hand that only few of their goods could be got of
in time for the early January trade. We see no
yet to change the opinion expressed last week,
that the aggregate Spring lmportations will be very
much larger than usual. We hope we may be dis
appointed.

made large sales of black silks within few days.
Medium and low.priced grades, say from 60 TO go
cents per yard, are not now plenty Purchasers will
be unable TO MI extensive orders until after further
rivals. Whether the goods will actually be scarce or
not, cannot yet be determined. The demand prom
Uses TO be very large.
