Adyiess from New York show that the fal

n.ueh more active than cottons or silks, Price
oral. kinds OF seasonable or standard goods ar,
ssady. No concession is made except on old
iI'hiohed or out of season goods. Holders ar,
vTy'hrm, and seem to expest some advance
though thisis hardly likely while gold Is do
Ginning. The chief buyeIs are from the IVES,
MD Southwest, who are looking at lots OF de
sarable styles OF heavy vuoisps. The sales OF
cotton goods arc rather light. Both bleacbed
ANA untleaehsd goods arc very firm. Prints
al inactive. .... ..urrf.
Printing cloths are nrmer. stripes. ticks
and denims are steady, and rather in light
stock. Fancy cassimeres are the most active
The best makes are very firm. Fine beavers
are trife lower. satinets are active and firm.
Printed delaines are In moderate demand and
steAdy. There is more inquiry and better
inquiry In the shawl market. Large orders
had been given in advance. Production Is lin
lied blythe high prices asked for wool. Manu-.
heturers are large buyers where they can find
asnppiy at prices that will renunorate them;
but wool-growers are too ready TO stand above
tie market.
Owing to the fall in gold. there IL more ac-
aVity In foreign goods. The importations are
Increasing. Heavy woolens sre selling freely,
and the supply is Lehiud the demand. British
drese goods arc more inquired after. Silks are
dull, as arc all fronch goods, the season being
too early. Linens are rather active. worsteds
s'c arriving freely, aud seem to invite alton
Ron The stock in bond of all kinds Of for
agn goods Is valued at sso, 500, 900, which is
largely In excess OF last year. The accumula.
Mons Of several months will soon be put on the
market, especially II gold declines, as that viii
lower duties as well as exchange, reducing the
cost materially, and enabling tho importer to
