The dry goods trade has almost altogether ceased at
wholesale. The Spring trade has come to sudden
close. Prices have given way. The Jobbers have
been buying cheaper from the importers; and conse-
Quently selling cheaper. Though the importers have
been suffering the public have been gamers by the
reduction in Prices The auction sales are becoming
few The stock Of staple goods has been much
augmented and being held over, will check the i'm
portations little for the Fall trade. Fancy silks have
been sacrificed without remorse Black and staple
silks are generally firm. The importers of German
cloths are complaining Of dull time and low prices,
though the cost abroad is increasing The Over.stOck
here will lessen the amount 10 be imported after the
lst july Domestic goods also dull, and no sales
can be fected but al concession III prices, though
holders Of cotton goods mostly hn preterring to
keep them than 10 sell at lower rate; but 10 the
meanwhile stocks accommodating As production has
not been curtaied. Domestic woolens are very mac
tive.
