Boston Dry Goods Market.


The Shirpiag list of the Sd inst, says We are
still compelled to report continued inactivity in the
demand for all articles ofdry good, although the job
bers have had better sales than last week. The stop
page of machinery by our largest manufactures on
account of the short supply Of water, has become
very serious and must reduce the production Of
goods materially. The limited demand for all
staple goods daring the month just closed is likely
TO- result in more activity at an early day. Many
OF the mills have been moving for some weeks
past to avoid accumulation, which, with the unprc
cedentee scarcity of water and the daily soppagcs
OF SplnGles, may interfere with the calculations
of those who have been loo king for a surplus Of
goods and lower prices week two Of active trade
would doubtmaterially change the tone of the
Act and iea to higher figures. Woolens are moving of
slowly. and business generally is unsatisfactory.
Commission houses selling cOttonS lower prices
ana have but very small accumulation, Standard
shcetlngs have declined to 30c. Fine brown and
beached goods are very unsettled and in the present
state Of the market it is useless to quote prices At
the figures at which cottOns be bought. jObberS
should commence 10 pat in stock, as the goods
not be produced unless change takes place not
anticipated or looked for. The print market shows
some Improvement in the way of sales. Agents have
