Our Steam NInrinc.

Since the close of the rebellion, the steam ma
rine Of this port has received large and numerous
additions, partly OF vessels that had been used in
the navy and for government purposes generally,
and partly Of new steamers. Many still 30 eni-
ployed that will, by and by, be added to the mer-
chant marine; but at present there are 629 steam
tons burden. OF this 70, 600 tons are employed in
the coasting- trade alone.
Sailing ships henceforward will only find employ
ment in transporting the coarser staples. of COM
merce, such as coal, timber, oil, heavy machinery,
stutfs. Ports which before the rebellion seldom
were visited by steamer now have their steam
li1os and plans now making to extend our steam
commercial enterprise to distant points hitherto
not possessing sufficient advantages to guarantee
fair pecuniary return for the risk. In less than
q year we shall,. doubtless be in communication
with China, Japan, and the Sandwich Islands, by
steam, and our lines will be extended to Brazil,
saving many days in time and much expense.
There is also o movement inaugurated by the
Messrs. Leary, for an American line of steamers to
Europe. They will dispatch tho Circassian on the
10th instant, for southampton and Bremen. The
old Hayre line is also to be revived with the Aago
and Fulton.

CHICAGO DRY GOODS MARKET.


FRIDAY EVENING, Jan. 6, 1885.
The year opens with unusual activity for the
eeason. The stocks In the interior are unusually
light, and country buyers arc 1cplenisning freely
to supply the active demand for winter staples.
In prices we have no material change to note :
but the market Is t1rmer, and prices ara shade
higher. Standard sheetings are held by some
houses at 6eic, but several Of largest establish
mcnts are still selling at 81ic, and We do not
change our quotations. The best brands Of Prints
still steady at 4oc.- Ticks arc shade higher.
DclnInes are steady. Canton and Woolen F1an-
nels are frmer. Carpets arr active and some Of
the leading qualittea=are 10c higher.
Since the commencement Of the new year, sew
ern1 important changes have takcn place in the
Dry goods trade In this CITY, Tho firra OF Farwel1
Field & TO-, has been dissolved By the withdrawal
ufMessrs. Field and Letter, and Is succeeded by
the firm Of ]. Y. Farwel1 d Co., which is composed
ofJ. Y. Farwell, G. B. Farwcll, 8. N. Kellogg,
". D. Farwell and J. 4. Harmon. The Inter gen
tlelnan is young MN long and honorably con-
nected with this house, aud who would ba an
acquisition to any wholesale establishment in the
city. We arc glad to see him attain a position
which he has long since earned Tho other gen.
uemen are we'll known to the trade.
Messrs. Field i Letter, We understand, have
purchased the Wholesale and retail establishment
OF Potter Palmer, and will take possession 1mme-
diately. The stock Of goods IL very heavy, aud It
Is an enterprise Of no common magnitude; but
MesszB. F. d L. are young and active, and having
all that experience and Thorough business qualt1-
cations can impatt, there Is not much doubt but
they will be successful.
We regret Exceedingly that the firm or Savage,
Keith j. Wood was omitted In the list Of dry goods
houses In our annual review. It Is needless to
state that 1t WINS wholly unsntentional This house
does very nns business, and the firm is composed
