The petroleum stock market this after
noon was active and excited, with rise IN
stock. Gold stocks were quiet and firm
The book trade sales yesterday and to-
day were well attended, and large invoices
have been sold at good prices. There is an
evident determination on the part Of the
trade 10 expect a fall in prices hence, they
act as if they would avert the evil day. We
have the best reasons, however, for be-
lieving that no such expectations are well
founded. The prices OF material aud labor
have not diminished sufficiently to warrant
any ones indulgence in cheap book an
tcipations. The importation Of certain
qualities Of paper has IN a measure affected
the price Of native paper, but the difference
is 80 small that it would be unsafe 10 pre-
dict suy general reduction from present
prices. There is not the remOtest prospect
Of the price Of labor diminishing. The
tendency is upward, not downward.
The activity in hardware is subsiding.
Nails are generally held at 81. Cutlery re-
mains very mucn the same. The stock
light and prices rule very firm. English
hoes are dull, but American goods are in
demand at full prices. Trace chains are
dull, as the demand from the South he's
abated. Plows and similar agricultural
implements are generally dull. Scythes,
snaiths, cradles, and other harvesting tools,
are in demand at steady prices. Mules
harness, like plows, are dull.
There has been no particular change in
the market value Of boots and shoes during
The week, and prices ranges very much as
before.
Carpets are quite active. Sorrell super

In the department Of wOolens trade is
generally dull, and the decline in fancy !
cassimeres, and some other goods, is equal
10 25a50c per yard. New and desirable
styles Of fancy cassimercs, however, are in
fair demand. In foreign goods, delaines |
and fancy silks are lower. Common English |
and German goods are still selling, and |
there have been some parcels Of mOhairs |
and lusters sent back TO England, the prices /
there being higher than here. Fine dress /
goods, particularly French Of seasonable /
and desirable styles, however, command
good prices.
