We make the following extracts from
the Economist of the 9Th, in reference to
the state OF. the Dry Goods Market:
The tone of the market at the commence
ment of the present week was not so active
as at the close of last week among the
agents, owing to the jobbing trade having
goods on hand from last week, but toward
the middle their stocks had run so low That
they had to commence to buy again: so
that trade wentaoH with asonlethingof the
same QuickneSs that was manifested 1or
the past two weeks. On all sides there Is
an expectation that the trade of the pres
ent month will exceed very largely that OF
any single month in many years. st'
q BROWN SHEEPINGSssA AND, fSHIRTINGS.-
The general tendency of the market has
been in most classes of goods very frm
with large transactions, some OF the goods
bought being largely in advance of their
production, while In others, the stocks
have not been so far reduced as to entirely
clear of the acc9m9laLed stGok sta nhers
sheetings, and, indeed, the unsettledl state
of brown eottons reminds one of the un-
certain price Of gold. IL Is ditflcult 70 get

RLEACHED ySHEETINGS AND SHIRTINGS.
The stocks Of goods are exceedingly
small, and in most widths unable to salts
fy the urgent demands of the trade. In
first hands the trade has been an extraOr-
binary good one, if We except alittle leth-
arpys ia the middle of the week, owing
probably to the very hot and Sultry wealth
er, but even this did not to any degree mar
the onward pr Gress of.buying and sell

Prices have not advanced, except on q few
styles of staple goods, all the others re-

last week, but there was trade enough to

BALMoRAL..S KIRTs-During the past
week the trade has sprung up little live

tried and Unknown in the market, have gone
of pretty freely at regular prices; while
low poor goods have been drug on the
market, and are very difficult to dispose OF
= FANCY CASSIsIERES-The trade of the
past week has not been marked by any
large sales, but there has been a steady de-
mand for desirable goods-those ranging
from ID TO 10 ounces being most called for.
There has been no particular change in
prices but some persons we fear will have.

they will be ableto realize their desires ON

goods there is an improved inquiry after

and calculated to give satisfaction sr
/ GoBURGs-Continue to keep sold ahead,
and there are a much larger amount of or
ders coming in than the agents can con-
sveniently attend to for q number of weeks
to come. The goods continue to be pro-,
daeed in a very superior manner, with the
quality of a very fine grade.

demand during the past few daysfor jeans,
and some quantities have changed hands.
Thisshas been the case principally among
heavy styles of goods and among very fine
goods. WfA r
