The Dry Goods Market.

One OF the editors OF the New York HSe.
pendent has been largely interested in the dry
goods trade and his market reports are reliable
and interesting. We copy the following from
this weeks Independents
Trade by the package is confined to the auc-
ton room. Prices are declining, both at auction
and with jobbers, who are underselling the COM
mission houses, being deslrous to reduce their
heavy stocks. JObbers, however, are active.
Domestic prints are in great overstock, and
keep declining in price. Ginghams have furth-
or declined. BeaChcd shirtings and sheetings
are also very heavy. Large holders are desrous
of selling. Brown goods are very dull, and can
Onlybc sOldto any extent at further decline in
price. Drills are steady, ticks scarce stripes frm
Cottonades lower. In wOoens there is a good
inquiry for desirable styles of fancy cassimeres,
which are scarce and firm. The dark cOlurs and
silk mixtures are abundant and heavy in price,
not being much wanted. Light colors sell
quickly. Printed delaines are dull, and have
declined. Kerseys are in demand, and tend up
ward in price. Doeskins, chiefly black, sell read
lily at decline. ClOakings are dull. In foreign
goods the chief sales are at auction British dress
goods have greatly declined. Drab alapacas
are an exception, being much wanted, French
plain delaines are steady. Saxony dress
goods are offering in large quantities, and the
market iavors the buyer. Black dress silks are
hrmer, and are much wanted. All the desira-
BILE plain colors are also steady. Shaws sell
readily. Paris black and colOred shawls and
fancy German shawls are steady, being wanted
Stellas and striped less desirable, but sell at
a decline. Cloths are improving little, the
importatlOns being light. Most Of the impor.
tations are being stored. The amount received
during the week is large.
The jobbing business is the most active, but
JobDers are pushing sales by lowering prices so
as to get rid of their goods before the close of
the season, now much advanced. There is ITO
scarcity of goods. The state of the market,
which for so many months kept advancing, In
duclng jobeers to buy very heavily, suddenly
changed when gold fell from 70 to SO, and has
never recovered. The large dealers found
themselves oTerstocked with goods bought at
high prices.

" SPOILS "

Under this head the Richmond Hhig of the
18th instant contains the following statement.
"From every side we hear that the spoils
left by General HOOker's army exceed those on
any previous battlefield, not excepting the en-
gagcmCnts around Richmond. Not only an
immense number Of small Rrms-variously es-
tmatcd at from 80, 900 to so, ,0OO-but an almost
Infinite quantity Of overCOats, knapsacks, coats
and Blankets. An idea of the spOls may he
gathered from the statement made to us by an
artillery officer In regard to the men Of his bat
terry. He says the country Is so strewn with
blankets, etc, ETC., that his men in marching
from one field to another, since the late battles,
have never numbered themselves with any
thing, being satisfied that wherever they camp
for the night plenty of blanket and overcoats
will he found. Shall these things be gathered
up or thrown away left to rot, or to be col
leCted by negroes and citizens, who, after all
the trouble of getting them together are to be
insulted for so doing. We trust most sincerely
that QunrtCrmaster Myers will show proper
efficiency in this important matter"
What there is of the above statement that is
not maliciously false is an erroneous exaggera.
ton.
We were informed some days since that Gen.
Hooker, in returning to the north bank of the
Rappahannock with his army, LEFT in various
places upon the battle fields of Charlottesville,
overcoats, knapsacks, and blankets. They
were deposited, from time to time, by order OF
brigade and reglmental commanders, to relieve
the men of their burdens while fighting. OF
course the lines were constantly changing, and
when the army was ordered, by the general
commanding, to return, there was no time for
the men to collect their goods scattered over
miles of ground. Consequently, they were
abandoned, and, of course, the enemy Is making
the most of it,
While 1t is to bcrcgrcted that so much prop,
erty is lost it is not so bad that it was left In
the manner and for the purpose stated as il
would he if it had been captured in battle OF
abandoned in a disgraceful and forced retreat
We deem this explanation due alike to the
public and the army.

JAMES BUCHANAN.

"Justlce on the Wing" occupies a column
and quarter of the National InteHigenoer, this
morning, to show, ns he states, that "much
unjust opprobrium has been heaped upon Ex-
President Buchanan" He cites as supposed
proof Of his statement the fact that Chief Jus
tice Cartier, of the District Supreme Court, at
the recent Union meeting in the Hall Of the
House of Representatives, Sin speaking Of Mr..
Buchanan, described him as "a miserable, su-
perannuated old man, looking better fitted for
the gallows than a Presidential chair "
We don't think Judge Cartier went far
enough, because Buchanan not only looked
ftted," and would have fHed the gallowsi but,
by all that is Just, he deserved hanging for his
cowardly treason in permitting this rebellion,
which he had the power to "nip in the bud" ," to
exist
But to return. In order to prove that Judge
Cartter's statement is not true, "Justice on the
Wing" quotes letter written, March I'd, 1861,
by Judge Holt, addressed TO Mr.. Buchanan,
which contains the following extraordinary
passage;
"In the full conviction that your labors will
yet be crowned by the glory that belongs to
an enlightened Btatesmanship, and to an unsul-
lied patriotism, and with sincercst wishes for
your personal happiness, remain, most truly
your friend"
Now, we have no doubt that the angelic cor
respondent ofthe htelligncsr, he lives long
enough, and don't fly away, will discover that
Justice Cartier will have no occasion to be
ashamed of what he said, while Judge Holt
will or ought to be.

CROAKERS.

The most common manner Of expressing a
cowardly sympathy with the rebels is croakiRg.
The prevalence of croakcrs in obscure holes
and corners, and among the newspaper press,
is one of the disagreeable features of the times.
A icdr crodker is always an arrant coward. He
croaks because he sympathiZss with the Rich.
mond gang of political consplrators, while he
dare not go down to Jef's dominions and fight
for them. Such creatures do not deserve the
respect of even the rebels, and We doubt not
that if they were to make their appearance in
Richmand, with their true characters known,
they would be kicked out Of the town. Very
little value is placed by the rebels upon their
friends In the North who do nothing but croak.
They want men who dare to fight for them
and not to croak against us, while we want nc
croaking at all. If evils and errors exist,
every citizen who has right to enjoy the pro
lection and benefits conferred by our Govern.
ment will go to work to remove them, instead
of rolling them as a sweet morsel under the
tongue TO be CrOakcd over.
"Sigma," of the Boston Transcript, has well
said: "Would to God we had the power,
though for worthiGr purpose, to place every
able-bodcd croakcr and loafcr where David
placed Uriah."
These foul ravens ought surely to be put in
the "lore front Of the battle " as the strugglcrs
Of ITooker's army were, will, a plenty of grape
and canister behind them. The time las come
when everybody should I've made to "eithcr fish
or cut hait'' on one side or the other.
