that they have been, to some extent, the

BIedchcI ISIteetulVS and ShirtimgS.-The mar

have changed hands both among agents and
I tDDlleTS. There Inns been GOOD demand for
almost every brlnd of goods, and III quite IL
CluctIOm. on account or the stiffness OF the
L cotton market, and the close demand for cal
icOcS, there was II desire manifested to adj
vance the price of goods which did not, how
ever, amount to any general size, rs agents
were afraid that they could not dispose of
their stocks mt advanced rates. There has
been an active call for goods from the South,
ana some lines OF bleaChed cOttOnS, suitable
for thnt market have boon taken up freely.
The trade continues to he very general, the
production In most eases being inadequate TO
supply the demand.
PrinLS-The trade Is very active for all the
goods TINT can be produced, and most OF the
companies keep sold clear ahead, with no
change in prices. On account OF the low
ness or water some OF the mills have been
compelled to run on short time, and arc not
producing their usual complement of goods,
while the demand is far ahead Of the supply.
AL the mills hNve been running ON pnrtlCu-
lar fine styles OF goods, which are very at
trIctiVc, because OF their novelty; while there
are some OF them which nTe high cOlOrS, and
are. to say the least, very "vUlgNr." but on
account of the predominant desire for some
thing new, they are taken upus quick as they
are brought lnIO market.
DTrNS-Thcre has been an active demand
for all classes OF heavy drills. Prices are UNI
changed, and the demand for light weights
is increasing, while the inquiry for home
trade Is the only one which Is much felt ut
CI,ii0n FYImmcLx-Therc is n slow demand
for these goods, ana the continued warm
weather makes the inquiry still more quiet.
Prices are little lower, with still lower
tendency. originating from the Iu'et state of
j'ic market.

the large amount manufactured by the differ

season of the year. There has been no Specu
latIon apparent during the present season
which makes the Trade appear IeSS buOynn
