rHE RIsE or corroN GOODS.

Our national troubles have produced q very
remarkable change in the price Of manuiac-
lurcd goods, tho ingredients Of which are
wholly or in part made from cotton. The
rise has been steady and rapid for the past
eightor ten weeks, averaging about half cent
a yard per week They still continue TO ad-
vance Heavy sheeNngs at the manufactures
are now firm at 6 cts. per yard a year ago
they we're but 81 cts. Denims are Is
cts. which year ago, were but -. Al
lens, Daniel, American and Sprague prints
arc now sold at "A cts. which, year since,
were sold at l-2 to 8 cts Cochecoes and
Merrimacs arc firm at Ii IL to Is cts The
durable style of prints are fast disappearing
from the market, and the stock on hand is
represented as being less than for a long pc
riod before Some houses are actually pur-
chasing back goods they sold some weeks ago
to hold for further advances. As rapid as ha.
been the rise Of manufactured goods, it ha:
not kept pace with the advance of the raw
material There is reason, therefore, to be-
ieve that goods, into which cotton enter.
largely will 60 still higher. They are Ger.
ain 20 do so, unless a more abundant supply
Il raw material shall be speedily procured
.ither by opening the cotton ports or by the
GENES especially hopeful. But even if peace
IS restored at once, there are reasons for be-
.ieying that the price Of cotton fabrics would
not decline very soon or rapidly An import
ant consideration entering into this estimate
Is the fact that the border and slave States
have completely exhausted their supplies, and
on the restoration Of peace, will be greedy
customers in the market for some months
after the cessation Of hostilities. With the
market once thoroughly exhausted Of the
manufactured article, with a fresh set Of GUS
toners from all parts of rebeldom, it will
certainly take some time for the factories to
overtake the consumption, after supply OF
cotton is procured. 1t seems inevitable,
therefore, that the price Of cotton fabrics can
not recede at present, while they are likely
TO adyauc2 yet more, ere the climax of high
prices is reached.
