Dry Goods.

There 8 considerable abatement in the de-
mand for goods. Jobbers are buying very
cautiously and less liberally, being anxious 70
avoid heavy stocks at the close of the season.
Goods, however, are very firm in price and
stocks are light in first hands. Domestic prints
are less active, but are firmly held under are-
Q ricted supply. Brown and bleached shiItings
and sheetings are very quiet, and the m4Ekst
is decidedly at halt--though prices are very
firm Low priced staples are advancing under
small supply. Ticks and denims are higher.
Drills are higher. Cotton fsnuels are lower,
but ale more active at the decline, Woolens
are rather irregular. Plain goods are selling
below the cost Of replacement Fancy cassi-
.meres of desirable styles sre firm, hut other
kinds are dull and rather lheayy,so There is
good demand for delsines and prices Of favorite
| makers are higher. Cloakipg cloths are very
active aud rather scarce. Cotton warp and
mixed doeslsins are wanted. Flannels are act
ive.a Shaws continue very active and frm.-
The amount ofsforeigu goods thrown on the
market is double in,value that of last year, and
there isa demand for consumption equal to the
supply Importers are however, ready SELLER,
and are anxious to close all their invoices, even
at some decline. British dress goods are low

silks, black ribbons, and plain delaines. Reps
are lower. Saxony dress goods are low in
stock. In woolens there is more steadiness.-
Low and medium priced heavy goods sell quick

of anxiety, from the state Of currency and high
rates of foreign exchange. Arrangements are
making for full supply Of desirable goods
