NEW YoRK Day GOODS MARKET.-Friday
Tribune thus refers to the Dry-goods Market
in New York for the week ending on that
day: -..-...... ... .
The opening. Dry goods trade in April
has, thus far, disappointed the general ex-
pectations of the merchants. The resump-
ton of navigation and the consequent move
ment of the crops from the Western depots
has not yet had its appropriate effect, by an
increased demand for goods from that sec
tiop--but the trade are still hopeful and are
confident that the demand will yet be large,
although it may be delayed. There is no
change to report in the Domestic goods
Market, and the accumulation of stock, ex-
cept in some specific styles, is not yet OPP
pressive. The exports during the week
have been on large scale, particularly to
China.
As the Drill. contracts mature, we may ex-
pect fallipgoff in shipments to China, as
their markets are reported overstocked but
the demand from Brazil and the South
American markets is now promising, and a
Fl IN tone is maintained. . la. o..
The question of working short time, among
the Print cloth mills, is again being sgitated,
and if some change is not made in the prices
within sixty days, many mills will stop en-
tirely. ,..'. - v-- H.
The nominal prices of cloths are as fol-
lowing: 44x49, 3N@31Sc; 52x56, 31503szc.;
56x60 3M@4c. 60x60, 4@4Sc.; 60x64, 40
49sc; 64&64, 425@412c. The quotations last
year at the same time were: 52x56, 47sc;

Cotton continues to advance, and is nearly
&c. per pound higher than last year; goods
are without movement, even at the low
prices quoted and few manufacturers are
able to hold them for change in the msHiet
and continue the manufacture. The printers
can scarcely get profit even on the low
cut of cloths, and there is no prospect so in.
vitiDg as olead to important transactions.
There can be no rally to the market until
the production is restricted, so that the ac-
cumulated stock of 100000 pieces can be
Gi;pos of.
The woolen-houses continue to sell some
lines to the furnishing and ready. made
clothing. houses, to sort up, but the aggre-
gate transactions are limited. Foreign
goods are dull of sale, and the only move
ment noticed is through the auction-rooms,
and, Notwithstanding so much has been said
of the prohibitory character of the new
tariff, the goods continue to decline, and the
prices of the early sales can not be duplica.

The auction sale of Van Wyck, Townsend
& Havens, of French worsted dress goods, of
the importation of Messrs. Thirion, Maillard
& Co., which took place the first part of the
week, was large, comprising some l 200 lots
of desirable goods-yet the prices obtnined
were less than those OF previous sale of the
same class OF goods, which at the time were
reputed to have been less than any on record,
even in the panic of 1857.
The preparations for business this season
among the jobbers have been on a more re-
stTicted scale than for period of years-and
they are generally well prepared for any
emergency. They have passed througha Sc
we're ordeal the past four months, and if
civil war should be inaugurated by the reck-
lessness Of the Southern fire. eaters, they do
not apprehend change for the worse.
