WEEKLY REVIEW
OF THE
DRY GOODS MARKET.
Nv the Manufacturer Cloth Hall Association.
A. II. ALMY, Manager.
NEw-YoRX, l3 Broadway,
THURSDAY EVENING, May 20, 1859.


Great irregularity prevails in the general Dry
Goods trade The present tone Of the market is de-
cidedly unfayorable for extensive engagements, as
neither the manufacturers nor the distributors are in
clined TO operate Nevertheless some styles of Do
mestic Cotons are in moderate demand and contracts
for future delivery have been made during the past
week. The large shipments of specie during the
present month have led to caution, and they
are continued in the same ratio the influence upon
the Autumn trade will be disastrous II is supposed,
however, that the movement will be temporary, AMI
that the shipments will be quite unimportant atterthe
LIST pro1 The advices to-day per Asia are unfavora-
BILE from the manufacturing districts.
The demand for goods from the Continent was
almost extinct, and the German buyers, alarmed at
the consequences which may flow from the monetary
difficulties Of the Austrian Government If the pres
ent war should last long, and still more If it should
extend, carefully avoided contracting fresh engage
meuts. The Indian buyers were still making offers,
and although these were generally too low to lead to
transactions yet more was done in that department
than any other the home trade was quite sluggish
and no demand existed for this market. There must
be very great decline from the high Eastern prices,
which have prevailed the past year in the Manches'
ter market before any advantages could be gained in
importipp English cloths-as that market has been
relatively higher than ours all through the season.
The Importation of plain cotton at this port during
the week ending may 20, as compared with previous
years, has been as follows:

The growth Of dstrust is indicated by the tact that
while the Bank have been called upon to advance
f2663 800 in DISCOUNTS and nearly million sterling
in loans stock and shares the increase in the circu
lation is only tIHng. The borrowers reodged in the
Ban than :, 500 600 Of the thus obtained.
The demands in connection with the war have drawn

regard to money matters, The Shipping List says:

the latter figure. The rates real estate are un-

continues to come slowly from the INTERIOR but the
recent heavy rains scarcely fail of facilitating
mining operations and we may reasonably expect an
early augmentation in receipts. There is far supply
of gold bars but up to the moment Of writing there
have been few transactions. The rates for to-day
will probably rule at $40 $50 par. Eastern sight

HAPPY New YEAR, FRIENDS An
old wish, but sincere one. Every re-
ctrrence of the season when it is appro-
priately uttered renews its originality,
though the words may be spoken with
less cheerfulness and fail to be the pro-
phet voice Of hope that once they were.
AS we grow old, we realize that all d.
visions of time are purely arbitrary; that
on the white dial of eternity there are
no hands and figures, only the shadows
Of passing worlds. Yet we echo the an
cient words ..of kindly greeting, which
once seemed charm whose potency
could conjure happiness, and, as we float
rapidly down the current of existence,
clutch fervidly the hands of fellow-voy-
ayers.
Yet though therebe no power in the
sotsh, the aoiH to realize 1t cannot fail to
bring blessing. To make the New
Year happy one, we have but to do
what is useful and what is right, see to
our fellow in distress, observe the law
Of love, and leave the rest to Heaven

EaF The Southern Overland Mai

@ The Southern Overland Mail
which left St. Louis Dec 9th, arrived
in San Francisco last Saturday night at
half past seven o'clock, making the trip
through in nineteen days and seven
hours-the quickest ever known.
Some copies of the Presidents Mes
sage were brought through, but owing
to mistake in changing the mails in Vi
salia they were left in that place and
brought on to San Francisco by horse
express, reaching there at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning.
The message was telegraphed to the
Union in nine hours and quarter, and
by that paper sent to every part of the
State one day ahead of the San Fran
cisco papers.

SAN JUAN PIoNEER.-The Unions
history Of California newspapers very
much amuses some of our citizens, by
the degree of Importance it incorrectly
attaches to the manuscript trife which
bore the above name. The history says:
The Pioneer was the name given by
an association of it's citizens to an occa-
sional publication which appeared in
1856, commencing in July. Its object
was the intelligent. one of creating an in
terest and want in the community for
local journal. In this it succeeded. in
ducing press already established at
Iowa Hill to migrate and take up its
abode in San Juan.
The Pioneer was published" by an
association of one, was written on sheet
of foolscap, was born in March, SO,
and after issuing half a dozen numbers,
died in July, killed by the tremendous
exertions it made to appear as double
pictorial sheet on the national anniver-
sary. Some Of these days we may give
some extracts from the Stars "illustri-
Gus predecessor"
