A DRY GOODS. MARKET.
The tradein Dry Goods for the past week
has been fairly active with moderate sales
for the iateness OF the Fall, with encourage
Ing prospects for the residue OF the season.
The Tennessee and Cumberland River trade
has come forward slowly, owing to the ina
bility or traders and planters TO move their
cotton. This difficulty having been re-
moved, we now confidently look for an in
creased trade from these sections over last

little. Quotations here have conformed
