Inc uellvtIts OF SeUtrh DOHlrrtlc bVVhs uuiAps
the past few weeks has been large and 10 consequence
the stocks continue quite low. Not only has the de-
mand from the interior been of the most satisfactory
character but that for export has exceeded any pre-
yious year. Ote fact worthy of note, and quite en-
couragipg is that the export trade has not been coz
fined TO the old markets, bat Is more general in ia
character. Although China has not required rs
many goods as heretofore the aggregate ship
ments abroad have incressed.
The Jobbing trade has been good the past
week, bat we notice some dackness, as the
Southern trsde has passed is maximum, and the
general trade from other sections has not yet
made tie appearance. is believed by some that the
deliveries 10 the Wet will be small all through the
yer; some of the principal Jobbers who have hereto
fore depended that trade are not Inclined to make
any extensive preparations until the actual demand for
consumption commence and they are not aoxious TO
continue the lines formerly given while there are
others who consider il favorable time to open ac-
counts in view of the facts tina; those parties WHO
passed the revusion without serious default are
worthy of credit and that the houses have gener-
ally started with fresh capital and have adopted the
cash system in their ssles. Hitherto the Western
consumers have withheld their payments from
yenience, and the enforcement of payment has
been out Of the question: although large wealth
might be represented and the result has been seen in
the inability of the merchant to meet with prompness
h engagements at the East The present is favorable
for the adoption Of the system ~ the necessities OF the
country are great and for articles Of prime necessity
ready payment will be made If old engagements
are not regarded. This would place the West in po
son 10 procure her supplies at low cost, and estsb
hsh an independence and character never before en-
joyed.
The recent Manchester circulars, after reviewing
their general markets, state that-vast, indeed as has
been the expansion Of trade with the crest markets Of
the East yet, on calm review Of the resources OF
Hindostan and the slsnds Of the Indian Ocean, and
the vsst populations associated under the Government
Of the British Crown the conclusion reoms warrant
able that their exports Of Yarns and Cotton Goo Is are
comparatively inconsiderablo, and may be regarded
as only in their infancy.
DrWs.
The market is strong; sales have been made at &c.;
the demand il quite equal TO the production. The
American styles take the preference in tbs British
colonies, a. well as in the principal markets in the
world and we hope, with the continued extension Of
commerce, our export trade will be only limited by our
ability 10 produce the fabric.
Irregular goods have advanced from sympathy With
40 yards piece goods, and are taken regularly by the
trade a. we'll az by the cothiers. 2inch Drills are
now freely inquired for, without leading 10 important
operations Goods weighing about yards TO the
pound with soft yarns adapted for finishing, are IN
good demand they should be Of full width, 80 inches,
and well made, although the count may be low.
Bro,ca Sheetings and Sk,rtings.
Regular styles Of Brown Sheetings have been sold
in advance of production at &c., and holders decline
further contracts except at still further advance,
which has been submitted 10 in some few Instances.
The long depression Of this style Of goods has forced
many mills from their production, aud therefore prices
are assuming position which cannot be maintained If
makers are not satisfied With present rates Such goods
afford fair remuneration at 80, and such is the facility
of production that il is important that il should be con-
fined to tina. point which will give steady market.
Light She.tings well a. medium. are in demand a.
hardening prices. Tbity-inch Shifting, have al.
yanoed IN same ratio a. the wide goods, aud are
scsrce.
Bl>aehed Skeet,ngs and Shrt,Hgs.
There bss been not much movement in Bleachei
Goods The prices are well maintained and there Is
no falling off in the demand, but the sales limited
by the scarcity Of desirable goods,
Three-ouartsr Blssched Goods are more plenty, AMI
more complete 0sort neLts are exhibited.
Printing Cloths.
We DO not revise quotations, bu. have 10 report
& lsss active market.
The principal styles Of regular goods have been re-
daced by the active Southern trade while those de-
sgned Tor distribution in other sections are 10 good
sock.
TIE demand FOR these goods increases and the sap
ply from the South il not heavy heretofore. 3oz
