4 WEEKLY REVIEW
NEV.YORK DRY GOODS MARKET,
For tie ees ending tdresiay ereniug, Sg' -, 1858.
OF THE

during tie past few days the activity among the is
,ribntn- houses ha. been greater thar anticipated.
We hear Of recorder, from almost every section Of the
country except the yellow fever districts, where dali
mes .egns Tie heavy trade Of the season, however,
= mast leaving smaller stocks Of goods On hand than
for many YEAR ~ tbs period. The consumption of
oooI. Las been curtailed in some departments. Jet
,p6se Of prime necessity have been required and
sill wanted Manufactured goods with few e1cep-
tons have been scarce but with cessation of trade
which has characterized former seasons an sccumua-
ton of good. will be seen ard depres the market.
Abou, one year since the factories OF New-Eus.and
commenced working short tme and reduced the pro-
duction according TO the Cotton tables, one thiId,
having taken only 4j2 eco bales and TO that fact may
BE- attributed in measure, their prosperity for the
past few months. We apprelend, however, that this
statement does not give accurate estimate of the
consumption Of cotton during that time, as the de-
veres to the spnners the last quarter of the year
were largely in excess of the cosumpuOn Many mills
have at present stocks sufficient To carry them into
January, and some corporations have recently been
free sellers of ol-crop ltton in the market We have
witnessed many ahoivc attempt of manufacturers 70
reform the system OF long credits n the domesic-goods
trade They have uniformly failed for The reason that
they have never removed the necessities OF the system
The large distributing-honses and the class who
make M" goods for the trade--the clothing and
furnishing houses-lay in their stocks from necessity
before the country demands their goods II import
ant 70 them that from the sale of their stocks, they
should be able to provide for their early purchases
They extend facilities to the country distributor
and hence require longer credit for themselves
Tie remedy is in the system which has been proposed
in our columns The manufacture should make his
contracts drec for future delivery and purchase the
goods only fast as required; thus interest aud
render long clels unnecessary. This, together with
uniform determination the part OF the jobbers to
shorten the credit to their customers would result IN
an entire abandonment OF the long credit system.
In the present state Of the market, with probable
advance in Cotton for the next sixty days and posi-
be decline after that time the manufacturer should
change h stye or reduce the product Of his looms if
be cannot sell his fabric as fast a. produced.
In reply to n .pondent, we give the rre by
which the number Of yarns required to produce a
given fabric can be ascertained, when the weight Of
the goods and number of threads to the square inch
are known: Multiply the number OF picks into the
width divide by 40, and multiply that product by the
yards per pound.
DrUings.
The overland mail did not connect with the steamers
recently arrived and we have further Intelligence
from China. In the mean time Drills drag heavily,
and we learn of no important movement. The con-
stsn,y advancing cotton market has 10 effect upon
the production, the large corporations are confident
that the opening Of trade will yet take all the
goods which can be produced. 2-nch Drills are dn,
although the production s limited. Lgh, 30nch
Drills with soft fng, weighing fou- yards 10 the
pound, are wanted for cooring purposes.
Broom SAeetings and ShrtiRgs.
The stock of these goods, although dimini2hed in
the manufacturers hands not reduced il the general
market Tie recent large deliveries TO the distributing
houses are not yet required by the country, and are
offered in the market at less price than the preseot
views of the manufacturers Light Brown Sheetngs
are still wanted if made perfectly and adapted 10
coloring purposes.
Bleacked !Sheairgs and Shir,iags.
These goods have been scarce. We have noticed
some accumulation in "a goods There are such
number of looms producing thu various styles that we
apprehend that many stocks will be carried over and
We shall witness the results Of home competition,
which are to be deprecated. At present the demand
il good for most styles Many of these goods are
wanted for sicas and it would be well for the manu-
facurer 10 devote portion of bis prcdRe; to that de-
partmeut at slight concession in price, rather
than to bleach all bis goods.
Wo0l,as
The demand for choice styles of heavy goods has
been for the past few days quite active, and the manu-
facurers of Fancy Cassimeres are satisfied with The
prices they have obtained. The trade are taking only
few choice styles, yet il is the opinion Of the jobbng
trade that second demand will shortly appear, and
that all the best makes will be taken for consumption
New samples of Spring Cassmeres, that promise
further liberal orders from the distributing houses have
appeared during the past week.
Low goods are selling at reduction from the early
seasons prices, yet on the whole We can report
satisfactory result TO the manufacturer, except for
those styles which the trade do not require. We
think safe in predicting gradual extinction
of the trade in foreign cassimeres in this market The
peculiar character of the American woods gives a
face TO the fabric which completes with any goods
produced.
Printing Cloths.
We DO not revive our tables in Printing Cloths this
week. The large sales Of the week at Providence
have taken every By surprise; 81 900 pieces were
sold consisting mostly Of the higher count goods which
las cleared the market OF any surplus The operation
of the week is calculated to harden the market, and
may induce extraordinary production. Ii Is well ior
the manufacturers to reflect that ofihs arges, buy
Of cloths heretofore will not appear in the mar
ket after FEW months as he is preparing to msnaiac
cure his own cloths. We refer 10 the Spragnes VINO
have their arrangements nearly cempleted for manu-
featuring and printing II 900 pieces weekly.
Pr,nts.
All the desirable styles Of job lots are being oouen'
up by the jobbers, at concession in pncesi ;or @tl
seasons sale, il is supposed that the prce VII rue
higher.
