New York DRY Goods Market.

New YORK, Oct. 7-The trade of the
week has been upon the whole dull.
Toward the close the rise in gold had the
effect of reviving confidence in prices,
and an increased number of buyers, re-
sulting in an improvement in the quota
tions of some leading styles of cotton
goods. The general feeling of the job
bing and retail trade is one of auction,
and commission agents begin to show
more disposition to SELL Stocks, how.
ever, continue extremely light, anduntil
the production has been largely increas-
ed, it will not seem unlikely that prices
can permanently decline to any import
ant extent.
Brown sheeting-Business moderate
prices steady. No stocks in first hands OF
fine goods, prices for which are firm.
Cloth-Without material change, and
prices rather less and firm. No business
cf importance.
Print-In demand at first hands, but
agents have no goods on hand and sales
are mostly made from surplus on advance
of production. Jobbers want, goods at
lower prices, but agents were firm
Wool shawls-demand remains active.
Stocks very limited of the best makes
Prices firm.
Woolen goods-Trade in woolens quiet
and prices upon the whole rather yield
ing.
Trade in fancy cassimeres is not active
but good dark styles sell readily; light
colors are drug on the market.
Satinets-Quiet; but little done at
present, and with the small stock on
hand agents are not disposed to press
sales.
Carpets-Verv active, and the best de-
signs are freely sold ahead. Some makes
are higher.
Flanncls-Less active, but prices sus
tain ed.
Foreign goods-The market for i'm
ported fabrics shows the same features as
heretofore. The lmportations for. the
past week are again heavy, being S2,279,
92s, again $685.. .l79 for the same week OF

DESERVING THE RADICALs.-TheW Wash
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger continues to report to that jour-
nal the progress of events in connection
with restoration. We copy aportiOn of
what he says in his last letter.
Included among the cordial indorsers
of the Presidents policy is q majority OF
the best Republicans in the land. The
truth is, the more honorable and Consti-
tuition loving among the Republicans are
completely disgusted with this eternal
agitating and opposition to wise meas.
ures of restoration, and it has been the
very thing that has driven them from
farther association with the extremists.
Rest assured the President is all right
He has declared that the South can be
trusted and firm as rock will stand in
his position. To the appeal or sugges-
tion from his opponents that the gov.
ernment had better be thinking of 'or.
ganizing instead of disbanding' the Pres
ident has, as am told, replied by order
ing the War Department to reduce the
army Immediately to q peace footing,
which means, / presume, an army simi-
lar in numbers to. the one prior to the
war. This is most important conclu-
sion, and will naturally barb anew, with
hate and bitterness, the arrows OF the
opposition. -. =, 30 Z 3 es.s. bTG .hhsS.,

The following statement, which gives
the accurate number of pensions, both
widows and invalids, on the books ofthe
Office up to October lst, does not consti-
tute one.half the number who will here
after receive pensions from the Govern
ment. From the beginning OF the war
up to the 4st ult, there were of applica-
tions from the army 95,857 granted, 4O,.
273 of which were of the invalids, and
55,5S4 of the widowed class. For the
same time 2,Ols applications from the
navy were favorably considered, l,043 OF
which were from widows and 975 from
invalids. These figures do not include
rejected applications, of which a vast
number has been received, but only those
whose claims to pensions have been al
lowed during the month of September.

One Of the Boys.

s The Long Branch correspondent of the
New York Times thus chronicles the feats
of almaryellous boy who satopposite him
at the table:
was greatly amused at dinner by an
exhibition of the peculiarities of a shod-
dy family. That the hotel register show.
ed the name of Shoddy in connection
with this group, ! do not assert. Iscorn
registers. That the head of that family
was entitled by divine right to the name
of Cecias T. Shoddy, I do assert. He
was well enough; shoyeled his food into
his mouth with his knife, it is true, but
so does many an honest man. Mrs. Shod-
'dywas Respondent with diamonds, and
her stubby red fingers glittered with
many colored Jewels; and she was fat and
not fair, and past forty, But with neith-
or of these was / s'wrapt up 1t was
with "that boy" Between the parents
he sat directly opposite me at the table,
and l concealed with my napkin the
visible struggle that went on within me,
! trust no one observed it. He was fee
Bile urchin, with watery-white eyes and
q freckled faoe, and ate his food with the
voracity of a starved spaniel, and blink
ed continually, like toad in o rain
storm. He gobbled, he gnawed and he
clawed. Hisfngers were alternately in
everything within his reach, including
hishair, hiscoffee and his plate.
He scorned knives and forks; or when
he did use them it was with the energy
Of despair. He would seize bit OF
frickaseed chicken in both hands, and as
he removed the edible portion with his
teeth, he tossed the rejected parts over
his shoulder upon the floor. he got
butter upon his coat sleeve and he wiped
it off upon his pantaloons; he spilled eve
rything within his reach; he thrust his
hand behind him to grab the walters by
the coat and give his ORDER and when
anything was brought him he would
scratch his head thoughtfully and stare
wildly ut it while collecting ali his ener-
gies for the attack. He had an eye for
everything on the table, and the dessert
completely nonplussed him. Mar, what's
that 2" he cried, as gaily colored blanc
mango greeted his astonished vision
That's puddin'." Mar made answer, and
Gimme lot" the young hopeful re.
sponded. Only when appealed to, how
ever, did Mrs. Shoddy observe her child;
80 also, Mr. Shoddy. The parental un-
consciousness of that child was some
thing almost sublime. He might have
stood on his head, think and they would
not have wavered. -l - g.

Fame Of General Butler.


We clip the following from the Euro.
pean correspondent of the New York
Times:
"This is the last night of 'Solon Shin
gle,' which has had q genuine success In
spite of the abuse of all the English
dramatic writer's, who were sure they
could steal something better from the
French. Only FIVE theaters are open, ex-
cept the transporting, urban and suburb
an ones, that never close. The Britain
mia has produceda grand romantic drama
entitled The Confederate's Daughter, or
the Tyrant OF New Orleans, Tho actor
who plays the tyrant has had his salary
doubled, as compensation Tor the
groans and hootings he Is obliged to ell
counter from pit and gallery.
aIf General Butler should find 1t con.
venient to visit Europe, and would ac-
cept box at the Britannia during the
run of this piece, think can promise
him good reception. He bids fair to
take his place the in popular history, dra-
ma and ballads of England, with crook
backed Richard, Guy Fawkes, Blue
Beard, Haynau, Herod, and other inter-
esting characters Of ancient and modern
times. If he and Judas Iscariot were to
walk arm in arm through New Cut or
Seven Dials, do not believe THAT the
Jew would get tho worst of it, such is
the perversity of human nature, and the
ignorance and prejudice of the debased
and downtrodden people ofthese unhap,
py islands.
"But time tries all things, and settles
some. General Butler must appeal to
posterity, as he may with safety. Mr..
Froude has whitewashed Henry VIII;
Robespierre and Danton have found their
defendants. Butler, after all, may turn
out q saint and hero"
