DRY GOODS
For the past week has been active, with
a good busine IS for the season. Stocks are
now full and complete for the Fall and
Winter business just commencing, and
the impression is general that the business
of the approaching season will be unus-
ually large in this department, as prices
are so low that economy has ceased to be
thought of among families making up
their purchases. t
Prices are very firm at our last weeks
quotations, which we now append with
more probability of advances than further
declines: UaH r.lfs8r a4U 0Ta1f ~ft- Hfisse

East the supply Continues light, and the
market firm, with tendency to higher
prices.
observation-disclosures continues fair,
a satisfactory trade being realized during
the whole week. The houses in this city
are fully up to those of other cities, and the
continued low prices attract good trade,
which but for the enterprise of our dealers,
would go elsewhere. Merchants can rely
on getting a good stock of goods, and at
low prices, in this city.

has been quite brisk. There is no reason
for complaint. There are no changes
