DRY GOODS.
Stocks in our market are full and COM
plete, dealers having been stocking up
during the past fortnight at the present
low prices now ruling in the supply mar
kets. The present indications are that
there will be very heavy business done
all the winter, as the season has been I'M
usually mild, which caused small sales of
wooden goods during the early Fall
months, and now that prices are much
lower and money will be becoming
more plenty, occasioned by the NOV
ing of produce. We would, In
view of these facts, recommend our
wholesale dealers to keep good, full
stocks, and solicit confidently the large
trade that must yet be done in Jeans,
Blankets, Flannels, Linseys, &c. Prices
for the past week have ruled steady, with
no changes.

Doors AND SHoEs-Business was fair,
considering the fact that not much trade is
expected at this season. There are no
changes in quotations to note, except q
slie hit giving way in heavy, goods, as the
season is about over for them at the supply |
depots, and manufacturers are DESTROYS OF
closing out stocks. We note the change of
locationof one of the largest houses in this
department, in another place.
HATS AND Cars AND C1oTHING-Trade
has not been so good in these lines as mer-
cl ants would desire. While there is no
change in prices, country dealers will find
jobbers ready to effect sales at some con-
cession in prices, owing to the lateness Of
the season. rig "a F~~.wE /
QUEErSswARE-The demand for goods to
dealers has been very fair, as our mer-
chants have been kept quite busy. The
retail sales were also considerably enliv-
ened by the approach of the Christmas
holiday. Prices have undergone no
change, although the market is in con-
dition of much firmness. ES-e
IRON AND HARDwARE.-The trade in
Iron has been dull; in Hardware it has
been fair, not below expectations for the
week. Prices of all goods are steady at last
weeks quotations. We quote Bar Iron at

q DRUGS While business has been pretty
good, the market has been very unsettled,
md prtceso of almost all goods in this de-
Dartment are lower. The fluctuations in
Gold have a material influence on this
market, as so many articles are of foreign
Importation. We quote Lard oil, No. L,
Il D, No. 2, 81 10, decline of fully 10c.
Lfnseed OIL 81 40, &c lower. Coal OIL, &c
over, at SIC. Soda is down to l0e for En- +
ylish, and Sc for American. Quinfse 81 As

PROVISIONS AND PRODUCE.
HoGs-Some dealers who contemplate
packing have not yet commenced opera
ions, but last week was a busy one with
hose who were at work. Messrs. Aiken,
Parvin 81 Co slaughtered 1000 head in |
round numbers. Messrs. Gavisk, and |
Taquess & Waters, were also re-
,eiving. The price paid early in the week
vas 81 90, but 1t ropped back to So 50@6 rs,
which was all that could be obtained yes
terday. The indications are that much 1
larger number of hogs will be packed here
Ibis season than for years past; and they |
