The past week having been closely identified with the
holidays, the trade In dry goods Inactive usual at
the same season. In the meantime tbs imporations OF
goods for the spring sde hand quite freely
&c considerable supplies Of French and German goods reach
by steamers The Fulton. which arrived the other
day from Havre, had valuable cargo of French goods
The Hermann, which compelled to put back to south
smpton, also had q considerable quantity OF goods from
Germany, the assurances on which were large, and re-
gsrdg the tate OF which much anxiety began to DO felt
The spring business, it Is expected, will commence In
about four or five weeks, which, II Is expected will
open with higher prices for cloth goods and at rates
more nearly corresponding with the enhanced price,
OF raw co,tons and WOOL they already higher
than they were at the same time last year,
and the tendency Of prics Is still upwards. The
exports Of cotton piece goods from Jan l. 1885, 10 the
9th Of December last from this port amounted to a.
pieces which the largest In amount since 1858, when
they were "a, S2s The largest exports were made in
1884, when they reached 892 pach ages, and in the
there exported from Boston 3d. 3oS which
at both points formed the largest exports since 1913
Should the present prices of cotton continue to advance
much higher figure, the circumstance will tend to re
duce foreign exports OF cotton piece goods because
shippers must put ap prices foreign markets to
pond with the enhanced rates at home which will tend to
check consumption. Heavy cotton shrngs are now held
at sXc, and the late advance In cotton must lead TO
su further rise In the article, margin for proai
will be left Light shee,ngs ct TO to &c. Bleached
goods held at 1rmer prices Brown drills were
steady at s%o., bleached at &c, and blue at lOkc.

SACRAMENTO, June 4, 1857.
Hon. D. G. BRODERICK:-DEAR SIR: Friends
Of yours in this and other portions of the State
are in doubt upon one or two points cf interest
to yourself and the Democratic party, and would
be gratiied to receive directly from you some
matters which not only concern yourself and the
Democratic party, but may indirectly involve
the great interests of our State.
1t is asserted that failing when at Washington
to secure Offices for several friends, you there
declared yourself hostile to the Admnstra ion
Of President Buchanan, and that you have re-
turned home to make war upon it. This rumor
appears to come by authority of several persons
high in position in this State, Is either state
ment true?
It has also been industriously circulated,
that in the late Senatorial election yourself and
Dr.. Gwin entered into contract by which one or
ate In consideration of his resigning to your dis
posal the Federal patronage In this State AL
Enough this rumor is generally discredited by
your friends, perhaps you may regard it of suff-
cient importance to give it a notice in reply.
We may further state, by the way, that it is also
fumored that DR.. Gwin has given authority for
saying that he secured several appointments
sgainst you in the face of his address from Sacra-
mento.
Other allegations are made against you, some
Of them relating to your intention with regard
to the next Stale Convention You can deter
mine whether they also merit your attention.
privilege Of making these inquiries: and if you
it in our power TO make your answer public.
Very respectfully, your ob't servt's,
ALFRED REDINGTON
