Tie Domestic Dry Goods market presents a rather
less satisfactory aspect if possible than heretofore
Cotton fabrics have been quite inactive in first hands
and almost all descriptions offered on easier terms,
though prices of heavy staple goods nominay the
same The trade from second hands is improving, es
pecaly with the Northern obbers, but their stocks
are large this will not produce any effect with the
commission houses at present. Brown Sheetings and
III
small sales were made for export We quote, as here
tofore, light at st aslc.i heavy, q 09lc. Beached
Sheetngs and Shirtings dull and occasional sales made
at discount from former rates. Ia Drills very little
doing at &c. for brown bleached, Ole. blue, lOic.
DENNIS were in moderate demand, without change
in prices; Oxford Columbian, Pacific, l0lc.;
York. l52c.; Amoskeag, l6c. Osnaburgs dull and
rather heavy. Stripes and Ticks less active accumu-
atng and easier to buy; small sales at ic. concession
for the South American trade In Cotton Duck there
was a fair business doing; Colts was advanced on the
lst of May to "a &c. for Nos. to 10 of Coasting,
and 23d34c for Nos. ] to 10 of Clipper Duck;
light Ravens, II l8c. heavy DO, 2Od2lc In Print
ing Cloths there is little doing at present but holders
are firm at &c. for 60x6i. Prints were quiet; white
grounds can be bought at reduction from opening
prices but dark grounds generally firm at OalOic
for first class Madder7. Lawns slightly improved but
trade backward and prices lower we quote fourteen
hundreds at III l2lc.; twelve hundreds % lOic
Ginehams not very active, and sold at or y
cent reduction from opening prices. Chalies were
in moderate demand, and the Manchester end
Pacific firm at lSG20c Domestic Wooens OF
nearly all descriptions have been emphatcaly stag
nant. Cloths were in little demand. In Fancy
Cassmeres there was hardly anything doing. The
light Spring fabrics bring about SOC. yard below
opening prices as general thing, though some goods
which are really wanted sell at 81 d$l 2l. Holders
are Of course very firm as yet the Fall goods. In
low Woolens Satnets Tweeds and Jeans, Lnseys, &C.,
there has been no movement, and prices depend on
the amount of the bills and the character Of the paper
offered.
