FOREIGN GOODS.
There has been an improved inquiry Tor
fancy and staple styles Of dress goods, and
large quantities Of these are finding their
way, both by public and private sale, into
| the channels Of consumption. The ton OF
the market is decidedly improved, and
business wears a more cheerful aspect. The
great ease in the money market has enabled
the great majority Of holders to carry their
goods through the dull season, without
much embarrassment, and it would nov
seem as if the great crisis was over The
great bulk Of imports are already landed,
and but a few orders are now likely 10 &c
forward until the market is relieved Of this
great burden. As q general thing ImpOr-
tiers and jobbers alike will lose considerable
money this spring, but they massed consid-
erable last year, aud all the large houses can
we'll afford to lose q portion OF those profits,
Saxony dress goods nave been in improved
request and bringing better prices, both by
private and public sales-prices ranging
from 25c up 10 SOC. a r~esction in shawl
has also set in. Silks are very dull, and
trade in this branch IS very unsatisfactory.
Large sales have been making through
/ the auctions, and at very low prices, say IL
to Is per cent. gold, at most. Woolens, too
are still very dull, but desirable staple styles
do not huctuate IN prices like other fabrics
and consequently no heavy losses can b,
sustained, except in low grades and fancy
| staples. Select styles Of fancy cBssimert
are in demand, such as Austrian "a to 81
inches wide, which commands s. 5094 PEI
yard, gold.
It is a noticeable feature in trade, that les
goods are pressing for sale during thu
| coming week through the auction, than hai
been forced on the market for the presen
week. The greatest feature in the offering.
through this channel week was the larg.
offering Of British goods Of the importation
of VIM. Drummer a Co, which went OF
quite as satisfactory as might be expected
