Dry Goods.

Prices have ngain undergone fall Tho
jobbing trade lowered last week their quota
tions Of cotton fabrics, and yN the market
is heavy. A fall in the price Of raw material
Is anticipated to an extent to affect the prices
Of goods considerably. There is, however,
more activity in the trade and there is
progressive movement, too slow, however, for
the season and for expectation. The stock
Of cotton is very iarge-a fact which over
hangs the market In threatening way. The
stock Of goods also has accumulated Of late.
Some sales of prints have been effected only
by reducing the price from TO cents a yard,
and ut the extreme reduction there Is more
activity. Shirtings and sheetings have de-
chned in like manner, browns fully 81
cents a yard; and prices are irregular. The
demand is very sluggish. Cottonades are
In very limited request. Denims are steady.
Ticks are scarce. Plaids and stripes
are in limited supply. and prices firm.
In the woolens there Is some improvement
in the demand. Fancy cassimeres are
brisker, but prices are only steady for very
desirable styles. . Delaines have declined
considerably, but the reduction induced freer
purchases, The assortment is fresh and
varied. SatiDets are very dull and at q de-
cline. In foreign goods there Is q large sup
ply, and little activity OF demand. Prices
tend downward. Fine black broadeloths and
doeskins are the most active, and command
good prices. Coatings also arc brisk. Lawns
ginghams and Italian cloths are firm. Ger
man and British drsss goods and stuifs are
very undesirable, and soil low. Auction
sales are increasing, and the large stock Of
goods will DO thus sold in the greater portion
during The spring. The anticipated fall in
tho price Of cotton and gold Is exercising
great influence on the trade. lDealors do not

White House this morning, by onicer 6ibRon,
charged with cutting the curtains In the East

and while In the East room the lady expressed a
desire to have piece OF the lace curtain. The
gentleman cut of two pieces aud handed them to
her, when both parties were arrested by the OIL /.
Ger, and taken before Superiptend- mt Richards.
The gentleman declared he had no. idea Of doing

curtains must be stopped. The examination was

DEATH OF COLONEL THEODORE
3. BOWERS.

Last night the lightning Of the telegraph
shocked the community with the distressing
intelligence that Col. 7. s. BowERs, Assist.
ant Adjutsnt General Of Lieut.. Gen. GRAsr's
STAFF, had been killed, BY falling under the
wheels Of q railroad train at Gsrrisou's Sta.
ton, opposite West Point, where he had &c.
companied Gen. GRANT, who went 10 place
his son FREpERIcK d. GRANT In the military
academy. The train was just starting from
the station, on the Hudson River railroad,
when the accident occurred.
So far As our acquaintance with General
GRAsr's military family ~ has extended,
We have deemed him very happy in the Sc
lection Of his staff Each one seems to have
been chosen on account Of peculiar fitness
for his position, and Colonel BowERs was
one Of the brightest ornaments of the staff Of
the Lieutenant General.
He entered the service as private In q
Southern Illinois regiment, being 9 resident
Of Mt. Carmel, Wabash county, in that State,
and became q member Of General GRANT s
staff when he was in command Of brigade
only. He was constantly with the General,
from that time until the hour Of his death,
and during the last two years has fulfilled,
with signal fidelity and ability, the duties
Of Adjutant General at headquarters.
He was 4 small, wiry, dark complexioned
man, with an eye intensely black, which was
as keen as an eagles, and at the same time
as soft as n woman's. His age was not much
beyond thirty years, and he was an orphan
and unmarried. Two brothers survive to
mourn his sad and trsgical death, occurring
in time Of peace, AFTER he had passed through
the bloodiest campaigns Of modern times.
From oil who knew him at his distan,
home In the West, and from all those who
have been brought in military relations with
him during the rebellion, and especially from
those who were familiar with him in socia
life there comes up q universal expression
Of grief that one so eminently fitted to adorr
his position and 10 contribute TO the happi
ness of his personal friends should have beer
brought to his end so untimely and in so fear
full n manner.
In the death of Col. Bowers the seryic,
sustains great loss, and the grief of Gen
GRANT and his family, of which he was con
sidsred member, will be inconsolable.
Lieut.. Gen. GRAsr arrived at his head
quarters last evening, and, accompanied b.
Gen. NICHOLS and VINCENT, Of the War De
partment, and the majority of his staff, re
turned to West Point on the Ills train thi
morning. The funeral Of Col. Bowers vii
take place at West Point, at o'clock to
morrow afternoon, and will DO attended by
large number of army officers from this de
partment, who will leave for the purpose thi
evening. The headquarters Of Gen. GRANT
to-day, are draped in mourning, flags at hall
mast, and all business suspended.
