tanned for the choicest styles of Manchester aud
Pacific, which are very beautiful and meet with
general favor In Woolens ofmost descriptions there
has been an utter stagnaton. Cotton warp clths
Ire in very moders'e request. The trade in fancy
Csssmeres presents no new features; holders of old
stock ard poor styles are anxious to sell at low
rates, while choice styles are firmly held and taken
slowly full at prices. Satinets, Tweeds and Jeans
are dull but prices are well supported. Low grades
Of Carpettings are offered more freely.
Trade with the importers continues to lsnguish,
and the operations of buyers are still confned
principally 10 the euctionroms. The South has
bought well, is paying well, and is sendog on
come second orders. The Western payments are
very poor and trade from that section comes in very
slowly, indeed. Jobbers are doing moderate busi-
ness but are put to great inconvenience by the slack
ness of their Western debtors. The complaint this
point general. Very heavy auction sales OF French
goods have been made during the week By Messrs.
Foster, and by Van Wyck, Townsend & Warrens
Gros de Rim Of different width, from 26d3S inch

with come movements for fancy Silks no inquiry as
the market has been fully supplied through the suction
rooms Advicts with regard to the new crop fcocoons
are favorable to yet higher range of prices for Silk
fabrics There is very little doing in any description
of Dress Goods though the weather promises better
trade by next week. Woolens of all kinds have been
inactive, except where holders have offered uuseason
able stock at concession. The tone of the market is
quite firm for Cloths of well known makes There it,
undoubtedly disposition the part of buyers to
hold back until after the let of July far they may
be able to do SOL bnt the aspect o. the foreign market
is not such as to warrant any increased importation
and the goods which will now be shipped here will
probably be invoiced or y cent higher. Linens
have been quite dull, and Irish makes have gone at
low figures, both at auction and private sale. Scotch
Linens are better supported with moderate de nand
from the clothing trade China Goods, under the in
Hu.nce Of the last foreign advices still more firmly
held and not freely offered at prices previously ruling
Silk piece goods are in light stock and are taken in
small lots, as wanted, at full rates.
There was q slight improvement in general trade
during the latter part Of the week.
The most important sale Of silks thus far this
was held on Thursday by Van WICK, Townsend &
Wmnns. Lots of plsids, robes and English silks were
Offered to the value Of $4,000 in round numbers
which were mosty taken at prices 10 cent beo the
views of importers. The English silks were not very
desirable, and cold poorly.
The New-Haven and New London, and New London
and Storington Railroad Companies have been CONSOLE
dated under an act Of the Connecticut Legislature and
have been authorized to issue Preferred Stock not to
exceed $400 600 for building the road from Newton
don to Storngton. The terms have been accepted BY
the stockholders and the managers authorized to take
subscriptions to the extent Of $500 900, which WILL is
estimated, be sufficient to build the road. The sub
scriptops now reach 1925 1000. The road has been
located, the right Of way mostly taken up and steps
taken for the immediate construction Of the work. The
Directors cay:
"The construction of the eleven miles OF new road
nom Groton to Stopington completes the Coast Line
from Portland to New.Yoik. 1t will then show the
shortest Ike ard best grades between NewHaven and
Boston, aud csn be operated In less time than any
