DRY GOODS.

|
The business of the week has been very
good. In view of the anticipated contln-
ued demand noticed above, we think our
Wholesale merchants would do welEzto
keep their stocks full and complete, as they
now are, all through the season. Prices are
> steady in the supply markets with q b isk
demand, and disposition to advance
some styles of goods Certainly with the
high price in gold, and the recent advance
in Cotton, manufactured goods cannot be
less, and may advance considerably any
time. We quote at the close,

keeps good, and the trade of the season
has been about up to the expectations of
/ jobbers. Our dealers in this line have kept
up their large stocks, well assorted, of the
latest styles and best qualities, and are
fully meeting the wants of merchants WIS.,
iting this market. In prices and stocks our
city compares favorably with any in the
West. .s.it, - r.
/ Doors AND SHoEs.-In this department.
| trade keeps very good. no great change be-
ing observable in the volume of business
for the week. Stocks are being well kept
/ up. Prices continue steady in this market,
but very firm, owing to the advance in the
/ supply markets. In the East stocks are
light; and leather is higher.
| QUEENswARE.--Busine is very good as
| far as demand is concerned, as our whole
| sale houses are having all they can do to
wait on their customers. But the market
/ has been considerably "demoraIized on
account of the spirit Of rivalry and COM
| petition, which has had the effect to reduce
| prices of some goods to a figure much be-
| low cost, and lower than the trade de-
mands. 1t does no good, ami ought to be
corrected; country merchants ask only
generous rivalry, and win pay fair and
| profitable prices.

quotations of last week, viz: Tin Plate,
