The weather during the fore part of the present
week was unfavorabe TO operations in trade, the
late cold period having terminated in considerable
fall of snow. The dry goods trade within the past
two or three days has, however, exhibited greater
animation, though taken whole il is considera-
bly, under the amount when compared with the
spring business the same period last year. There
was more animation at the auction rooms. The at
tendance has been generally favorable. Among the
sales was one held by Messrs. Van Wyck, Townsend
& Warrans, of French silks. The catalogue was
large and attractive, and contained many poe kages
of desirable styles The black silks brought fair
and satisfactory prices The fancy silks sold well,
and sustained The current rates at private sales The
sale, upon the whole, was considered as one among
the best of the season. Other sales We're held
which were fairly attended, and favorable prices
obtained except in catalogue sales of embrOderies
and tailoring goods, which brought irregular prices
Some sales of older styles of goods were made at
lower rates. The export OF cotton piece goods
from New York the past week were light, while
from Boston there was more doing. The exports
embraced about 900 PACKAGE, of the value OF

TO- The total shipments from New York last week
were only of the value Of SO, 703. The whole ship
mcnts from this port have amounted to ,040 pack
ages, AGAINST 30S for the same time last year. The
adyices by the Canada from Eng and represented an
improved demand for cotton goods in Manchester,
with hrmer prices. The trade in domestic
cotton goods has also continued firm the
present week, with an Improving ten
fabrics of brown and bleached goods. This i'm
provement has also been manifested in the Boston
market. Brown sheetings, in this market, were
firmly held At 73c. &c., at foar and six months,
with the usual discount at the inside term. Light
sheetings were selling at about &c. Beached goods
were in fair demand and prices sustained. Drills
were in fair request, including some purchases for
export At SIC. a SEC. for bleached CSC. sc. for
brown, and ut l0lc. for blue. Osnaburgs were irm
with fair sales at full prices. DENNIS were in
better request and, according 10 makes, ranged
from 94c l0c. lie. lfc, the latter figure. for
York. Duck, owing TO the slack demand, was
heavy and sales difficult to make, except at some
concession in favor of purchasers. Other cot
ton goods, including prints glnghams, &c,
were without change OF moment In quotations.
Mouselane lie LANES of desirable styles were in
C-eady request and ranged for good styles from l5c

@ extent but generally at easier rates, except for
desirable styles OF fne mixed goods. Foreign goods
especially OF new importatons and seasonabe styles
are not IN large supply and are sold generally az
fair prices. For other descriptions Of goods goods
left over from the trade Of last fall prices rregu
lar The buOyancyo of foreign goods has been suained
for most descriptions by the light Importations the
past few months. IL is thought, however, with the
movements of trade later in the spring, and with
continued e2se in money, that the importations will
be large during the balance Of the year especially
during the early summer, for the fall trade.
Though the trade in general way, fails 20 display
the animation that il did this time last year. II Is
.ex4is le6 by sonnder views, while confidence, which
- :" impaired by the panic last fall, is grsdu
s,1y Te,pr"pc. The TO Jobpers are gene
rly satisfactory, except from some portions o' 'e
West A large amount of produce remains in the
West. and must come forward on the opening OF
navigation, when payments will no doubt be I'M
nroyed from this section OF the country also. When
grain il cheap at the West the people feed IT to cat
tie and hogs and dstil il into whi-key, and thus
aend much of il 70 market in another form. Hence
the provisions packed at the West during the
past winter have been large. and especially rvrk,
which ia said 10 be In excess OF that put MP the pre-
vious year. and which, with most other provisions,
il is believed, will pay to the producers remunera-
tive prices.
