NEW-1O ORh, rnnsy eNcnus, onn' 90 ioc''
More steadipess has been noticed the past week IN
all departments and our market continues strong and
healthy The JobbiDg trade have added largely to
their stocks, and many present full and compete as
sortments The daily arrivals of merchants is incress
ing. and the confidence with which they purchase Is
quite cheering. The business for the next thirty or
sixty days will be large, but we are not so confident
respecting the later trade. The incubus which rests
upon Northern Indiana, Wisconsin Minnesota, and
many portions of the West is of that character woch
nothing but time Will remove. Their investments in
lands were made at high speculative prices the folly
of which the revuson exposed Their crops have
disappointed them both in the quantity secured and the
prices current In addition to that, their farms have
been in some instances mortgaged to build unfinished
railroads and smarting under wrongs which they have
suffered in that connection spirit of repudiaton exists
which will have an unfagorsbe Influence not only on
their credit but that Of the whole West and limit their
purchases to articles Of prime necessity.
Credit closely scrutnized and most Of the country
Spring business will be done a cash basis. The
credit Of the Jobbers clsss, is deservedy high
their paper eagerly sought after by the bankers at
less than legal rates.
This fact is attributable in greet measure TO the
wei. known canton manifested during the past
they will sacrifice their present position by giving inds-
oriminsfe credit
The Cotton receipts gradually increasing, and
we have every evidence of an crop-probs-
bly, 3, $50 600 bales.
The receipts at the shipping ports are 5000 bales
in excess of the corresponding period last year, while
the exports TO Great Britain in excess only about
one quarter of that amount and there is no doubt
but the stocks are still large in the interior towns
The advance in the market recently WAS obtained
through local speculation, which have basis
except the fears of the manufacturers.
The large deliveries to spinners, as compared with
previous years. are attributable to the fact that the
state of the manufacturing credits at the South hsve
been such that it has been necessary to &c. supplies
from the raIket, and any consumption tables based
on those deliveries would be inaccurate.
At this present writing in receipt Of kilograms
from Halifax, stating that holders pressing sales
Of Cotton on decline.
Brolrn Seedlings and Shirtings
The deliveries from the manufacturers have been
large the past week. ard although We report 20 ad-
vance yet more firmness is noticeable. The heavy
goods still cortinue in light supply, while the medium
styles are in good stock. The low Sheetngs, Aka,
weighing 81 yards to the pound, are much wsrted.
Fire wide Shirtipgs are sought after, but the in
creased irmness os bleached goods makes it dtcalt
for parties TO secure stocks
DriRs.
The constant ard bea.thy home demand for these
goods has reduced the stocks and frmbess exists
The demand for Conversion is large, Is well as oc-
cssora orders for the interior distribution. California
has been the best market this class of goods for the
last number of months, and shipments made have
suited advantsge 41inch Drills moderately
sought after.
Bleaeled Sleetisgs and SkHtings.
The advance noticed in Bleacbed Goods is well
maintained. The manufacturers so confined to
their orders that they not disposed to contract
fmther even at an advance on previous prices. The
beachers are also full Of work, aDd is almost i'm
possible to obtain goods from them in a reasonable
time.
3i.n Cottops are desired and the scarcity of goods
Is becoming more apparent.
Priafing Cloths.
Tie Printing Cloth makers are still engaged With
their tracts and quite firm in their views. The
strength Of the market is shown in tue fact that sd
vance has been obt aimed since the first of the month
Notwithstanding the charge of standard in measure
equal TO advantage to the IN Of one-eighth OF
eeut per yard. We are without our usual weekly re-
port of the Providence market from I. j. Abbott e.
