BOOTS AND SHOES.
A fair business ding in boots and shoes, and
prices have mo- undergone any very important
change.
HARDWARE.
American hardware is not likely to experience
any marked decline for the present, owing to strong
| combinatioas Of many of the manufacturers The
raw material now on hand was genererally bought
at high prices, and this Is a great incentive for
them to keep up quotations.

signments to the large southern cities are barely
bringing cost. fTG 5gaH
There is an increased activity in dry goods trade,
and jobbers are doing a large business with the in
terror. Buyers from the South continue to pur-
chase to a fair extent, while western merchants are
now buying more freely than at any time since the
season opened. Among domestic fabrics we may
notice that bleached goods are firm and brown cot
| tons generally steady, standard sheeting being
| quoted OF 24@25. Prints have fallen of about 1c
| per yard, hut are steady. Desirable styles French
| dress goods bring fair and remuuerative prices but
common goods OF English and Continental manu-
features sell 1T a sacrifice. WOolens are extremely
dull and the decline lately has been quite heavy on
domestic goods. An active trade doing in carpets,
aud stocks are still very light. Manufacturer are
sold up and working on orders. There is no change
to notice in prices.
There is a little rise in the market to-day. but
knowing ones say that it is spasmodic and cannot
last, still there are some goods that are firm at
the prices. For instance, MeFrimac prints cannot
be bought for less than quotations, and standard
s~heetings the same Bleaehsd goods have yet to
come to lair prices, or what buyers consider they
are worth, which is from 5 to 10 per cent. lower
than they are now
