New York Dry Good. Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19. p. m-The weak
ness of cotton goods in first hands mas
shown itself this week in positive de-
cline of some kinds of goods. Among the
iobbers. however, there has been csnsld-
srable activity, and it is likely now that
agents have met their views as to price,
and that there will be an improvement
in business ut first hands.
The excitement in Wall street has but
very remotely affected the dry goods
market. The trade is now so little de-
pendent upon credit that any Interrupt
tion of discounting operations is Of slight
consequence to dry goods merchants.
The New England cotton mills are eX-
tending their operations as fast as the
supply of bonds permits. Some of the
larger corporations have their agents in
Lancashire, England, for procuring oper-
atives, the supply in this country heing
inadequate.
We hear of large new cotton factories
being projected, one requiring an o'Ii ay
of Sl,250,000.
