The Breadstufs markets are moderately active 81 fall
prices, excepting for Wheat which is heavy. Cotton,
with sales of 1900 bbs has advanced sc Provisions
are without important change. The Coffee sale went
of well to-day, and there is some activity at private
sale. There has been an arrival from Rio at New0r-
States had been only 20 900 bsgs and prices bal ad

The Domestic Goods market manifests 8 slightly in
creased animation. The great difficulty which the
agents of the manufacturing companies have had to
experience has been the difficulty in receiving goods
| which should have been here long before this time.
The opening Of the Sound this week auspcious

will be much more complete and as obbers, who have
been holding back until this should happen, will then

iy The supply of domestic Cottons has never been
70 light here for FIVE years before during the last
month as the Eastern mills have been completely
blockaded. There is much more doing in Cotton than
in Woelen goods as general thing. Printed Cottons
of all kinds, Caicoes, Lawns, &C., manifest more
activity than any other description Of domestic fabrics
Low.priced Prints well executed, sell readily. The
stock Of De LANES is large, the styles very ele
CANT and the demand active. In Bleached Goods
there is not much activity though holders are very
firm. The stock of Brown Sheetings and Shirt
rgs is not large particularly the heavy grades.
The advance in the heavier Cotton goods does
not correspond with the rise in the raw
material az vet, and prices look upward. In
Wooden Goods there is very little activity as yet.
The stock in market is large but the assermenis have
not been completed as yet by arrivals from the Eastern
manufacturing distrcs. On this account and because
they do not consider prices firmly settled a. yet job

We notice an increase of demand 10 the market for
Foreign Goods, and general feeling of confidence
among importers. The chief drawbacks which they
have to complain of the difficulty of making ship

have been comparatively small. The mportatons for
the last two or three weeks have been remarkably
heavy, but shipments from Europe have been made
much arer Il is year and there doubt that the

China SIX goods are held more firmly since the last
arrival, while some importers have withdrawn their
stocks until further adyces. Mixed fabrics of Silk
and Wool or SILK and Cotton, OF European msnufac-

quite scarce and held very firmly. Dress goods gen.
