great distributing houses s becoming sp parent,
and with that class there appesrs be no falling of
sees; while the increase Of arrivals from the Yves. has
given more activity those houses who did not psitici
pate in tie distribution OF goods in January and FEB
uary The South western trace is about over but the
nearby Southern buyers are in the market
There s more confidence expressed as 70 the fatare
price Of the chief staples Of Domestic Goods from the
impression that there 20 be war in Europe and thst
the extraordinary demand for the prodnctoos Of the
English msrufsctoies, for expectation TO the Esst,
will give them foll employment, without attempting a.
expansion Ct their trade with the Wes- Tae Official
returns Of the British Board Of Trade for 1853 repre-
seyt the most important incrssse known in their
exports TO the Esst.
The activity stil continues and the amount Of ex-
ports for the month Of January was nearly 100 Y
cert greater than for the same period last year.
This demand for goods has induced the erection
of new mls filed with improved machinery,
which vii increae the productive power of England
in q greater ratio than has been known for many
years. Ii it should ultimately prove th.t Inds did
not continue to require as many goods as she Is 81

preston in manufactured goods in Eoglsnd, which
you'd result csssrousy to our manufacturing inter-

Drills.
The shipment of 800 packages Of Domestics to
China during the past week, lie quite an important
feature in the market, inamuch as it has been gen
orally understood that THAT market did not afford much
encouragement to shippers. Thirty iuch Drills are
firm at Sl09,. Twenyseven.inch Drills are more in.
quiied for al shout previous prices.
BrouH Sh6tiings and ShrtiHgs.
The demand for heavy goods is not large and the
production at the East il moderate We learn that
several mills at the South have recently been PLACED
these goods, to supply home demand. They have
heretofore either prodnced different style, were
idle altogether, as the ruling price of heavy makes
during the last reason not remurerstive. The
medium Sheetpgs have advsrced in sympathy with
tie heavier goods Light Shirtings continue in small
stock, and a large demand exists. Large contracts
would be made for future delivery Of i0-lnch goods,
6Dx60, weighing 81 yds. TO the pound.
Bleached SkeefineS and Shirtings.
The supply of these goods is increasing, and the de.
mand is quite equal to the production Some mills here
tofore engaged Printing Cloths producing the ia

more plenty, but the stock is not burdensome.
Printing Cloths.
The advancing tendency durpg the past few weeks
has led the printers to pause in their purchases 1t
woud bave been far better for many engaged in print
ing the low styles of .teams and chomss to nave sold
their goods contracted for early in the st the
present market rate in the brown state than TO submit
to prices low offered for the finished article The de-
mani is chiefly for the lower counts j2Y56 and 56x6O
although at any cession in price large sales could
be made Of Glx6i. We quote:

Prints
Tho regular styles of Nader Prints are taken in
ocerate way a. about previous pr ces, although come
concessions are made where large lots are taken.
Chromes and other styles have not maintained their
price, We have the rather anomalous position Of an
advance in the gray goods and decline in the printed
fabric.
Cotton Duck.
There is no change, but We quote dull market.
OsaG6nrgs.
The recent sales have pretty much swept of the
surplus stock which has been pressing upon the
market for long time. The supply from the South is
quite unim porisnt, bat receipts noticed from
the East.
Cotton F7onHels.
We have no change to report. There is small
demand for the goods-Quite equal to the production
TIE quantity printed this year. compared with the
last, hos been very large. The engagements made
by tie chief printers for goods were made early in
Jsnuary, ard no important demand exists from that
department.
DeAims and Stripes.
These goods sro well sold mp. The demand has been
good during the whole season. One year since the
stock was large, and il generally supposed that
the consumption Of goods could not oyerske the pro-
ouc.ion bur no class Of goods has met with SO ready
market. With any concert Of action snorg makers,
the prices would have advanced materially. The
stock Of al styles is light at present. and We quote al
advance of !c. yard since the first Of the month.
PaataioOa:ag, Kerseys Sc.
Tie principal manufacturers lsye been engaged on
orders up TO The present time, important stock
exists. The advance in cotton, which enters largely
in TIE cost Of the goods ha> given mere rmness TO the
market.
Uooleas.
Our market hss been rather q1iet the psst week
owing to the fact tha. job5ers are busy at home, and
but few thir gs in the way Of Fancy Wooens are
