Dry Goods.
trrum the New YORK Indspsndsnt l

(FrUm the New York independently
There is a growing activity, especially
in the marker tor woIIen goods. City job.
bers and clOthiers, are buying, aud there
are many buyers on here from New Orleans
and the western states making considera-
BILE selections of goods for the fall and
winter trade. Cotton standard goods are
firm and advancing in price. Prints are in
fair request. Jobbers are selling at one
cent below the commission houses Print
ing cloths are firmer. Brown aDe blesched
sheetings and shirtings are very firm, aud
holders are 10 expectation OF getting high
er prices next month. We notice
no change in strips, ticks, denims, or
ginghams. In woolens the chief de-
maud is for fancy csssimeres of the
best and most desirable styles, which are
selling in large bills beth for city and
country consumption, including New Or
lenns. PrieSs are very steady. DOeskins
are in quiet regular demand. The domes-
tic makes and styles of these goods, as
well as coatings, are gaining on the foreign
fabrics and superseding them. Beavers
are more ready of sale, and jobbers are
buying freely. Satinets are dull compare
lively. We notice more activity in de-
LANES. The terms of sale are now almost
exclusively for cash. Credit is dispensed
with, consequently profits are certain,
while the prices are remunerative, the de-
mand for goods being sufficient to take up
the supplies as they come forward
Broadcloaths are quiet with small regular
demand In the tavorite styles OF fancy
cassimeres we observe the demand is
mostly for dark colors aud mixtures
Some fancy drabs are being made to meet
n temporary demand, which at present are
readily taken. In foreign goods there is
little doing. The importations last week
were larger than previously, but are not
yet freely offered. Black silks are the chief
article oftoreign goods selling. The new
importatious consist of linens, silks. wors.
teds, and woolens for mems use. There is
an increase in the demand for Irish linens,
and prices are higher, the stock being light.
The value of last weeks imports of dry
goods is 81, s45 ,5s9, of which $265, GAO is
far worsteds, SPAS, 929 for silks, $22o, 2S7
1 for woolens, $l75,955 for linens. The
course of prices depends on the price of
gold, and gold this week is tending up
again, though slightly.

Col. PowelI.

Our readers are aware that the gallant
Col. Powell of the I'd Virginia Cavalry
was wounded in the recent raid of our
troops on the Virginia and Tennessee
Railroad, at wythevilIe. A dispatch from
Charleston to one of his relatives in this
city, shown us yesterday, states that he is
"A prisoner at Richmond. We trust that
the government VIII, as speedily as posi-
BILE, procure his release 90 parole or ex-
cbsage. The country cannot afford to let
so gallant and active an officer as Col.
Powell, lauguish. in rebel prison until his
health and strength are gone past recov-
cry. We consider the wytheyille exploit
one of the most daring and valuable ofthe
war, aud the men who performed it are
worthy of peculiar consideration.
