ness, AID again becoming dull end unsatisfactory
With some exceptions with regard to certain local.
ties collections were coming in rather better than
what might be expected. The disposition of the
large auction houses to resume sales at credit Of
four and six months was considered to be token of
returning confidence. The cards still appeared in
front of wholesale dry goods jobbing houses Offering
to sell by retail at Wholesale prices. These cards,
also, were burg out by wholesale clothirg houses
Offering to sell at tremendous rducsionsin prices'
This.course of The yho.esale houses has been very
injurious TO the city and adjacent country
retail trade, who had laid ip supplies be-
foe the panic set in. The export trade
of American piece goods continued to be light. The
domestic ira in American cotton goods was mode
rate, and iices without change of moment, while
sales were light. The auction sale next week will
be some test Of the IN rket prices. Woollen goods
were heavy. The 6ec!iIe in wool has had depress-
ing influence both npon manufacturers and uHon
prices. The depressed condition Of the Wholesale
clothing trs6e bas caused certain lines of woolens
to be neglected and prices depressed Fancy goods
of nearly sl descriptions have beSn active and
the trade dull. Should the present NceESe Ameri-
can goods be much reduced, and cotton chine much
in price, we may expect to witness ere long more or
lees resumption of work By Eastern mills, many Of
which have BET driven to work short time or have
suspended operations.
