BALTIMORE, November 5, 1858.
We have to note another very dull week in the
Stock market, the entire transactions not being
more than Sl2O,OO This small business is owing
in a great measure to the fact that the transfer
books of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have
been closed, and to the almost entire suspension of
operations in that stock for this reason. The only
sales of this stock for the week 325 shares on
Tuesday at S57 regular way, S571G buyer 60 days

The Independent, in remarking on the dry goods |
trade of New York, says:
1T is noticeable that those houses who confined them
selves to the best customers who buy at short credit and
for whose benefit they offer large and choice stocks have
done by far the heaviest business this The spring
season will set in under more favorable circumstances for
the stocks of past will be less heavy but there
reason to believe that the importation of goods will
be large. An improved demand is looked for in
the community and the goods will be provided accord
ingly."
