crowded at each OF these exhibitions.

yard, at which, however, the sales have been
large. Ginghams are firm, and in request
Denims are in small stock, and steady
Drills are active. Sheetings and shirtings
of the best grades sustain their prices, but
second and inferior grades are much deprcss-
ed. Brown sheetings are in abundant sup
ply. An export to China of 720 pack
ages of cotton has taken place, value
$l20,041. The demand ior mousseiines de
lane has fallen off. Stocks are accumulating,
Prices weak. Broadcloths are in better de-
mand at low prices. Cassimers and satinets
are both heavy in price Even the finest
and best grades have further declined. Coat.
ings are in some request. Flannes are quiet
Carpets are active. A good deal of alucrity
prevails in imported goods, which are press
ed on the market at very low prices. The
importations are large. Plain black and

Fancy silks only are much asked for. Black
bombazines and drap d'ete are firm. There

of dress goods, which can lie bought very
| low. Printed and beached cottOns are lower
| Delaines are very dull and depressed. The
auction sales are large. There is no hanging
back on account OF the low prices obtained,
! but importers are anxious TO clear out their
| stocks Prices are consequently very irregu-
L. L

are Sold and find their way into consump-

dress fabrics of choicest desirable style,
which are comparatively scarce, are in de
mand and command full prices
