New YORK Day GOoDs MARKET.-There has been
fair amount of sales during the last week, and at
steady prices. There are Southern, Southwestern
and Western buyers here making purchases. Sta
pie goods form the bulk of what is sold. On the
whole the business is rather partial and irregular
There Is considerable appreciation going forward in
the prices of cotton fabrics, owing to the steady
rise OF the raw material. In the wooden wholesale
trade good business is reported with the interior
OF this State, and With the East. The by trade
will be relied on chiefly this season-exclusively by
many who previously gave large credits West and
Southwest There is disposition to confne sales
more within easy reach of collections, and to dis
trcts which have suffered least in the late troubles
proportionally to their population. This is notori-
ously the case with this State. Parties who have
made their old winter stock serve them during the
past season will be better prepared to their
summer purchases. The sales of mems summer
goods have been comparatively large Foreign
goods in desirable styles in better demand. Rich
silks are hardly to be found--the entire importa-
ton having been sold New styles of spring rib
bons are also scarce and high
In the ensuing month, the purchases made on
credit OF eight months, in July last (made before
any trouble foreseen will fall due; and the six
months renewal ofpaper which ought to have been
paid IN September will also mature; but these to-
gether will not make the money market active as
usual, as the subsequent months business was cut
short altogether. Some few failures are occurring
but the great abundance of money will aid all sol
vent houses easily through with their payments

county opposite St Joseph, Mo. Mr. Forman and
