Dry Goeds,

Extreme dullness has been the rule OF the

less, and jobbers not much. But, so far as the
tone OF the market goes, and the general feeling
OF conf dence IN a speedy revival OF an active
trade. tn ere has been a decided Improvement

like despondent feeling, nor any apprehen-
sion OF q lack of trade when The time shall ar

with the notes, asked him what they were
The reply was that 1t was German money,

that rs ne was on his way TO Fells Point, IL

he could ascertain their value from some one
conversant with German trade in that quarter.
The request was complied with. ana on his
entering the place of business of friend he
exhibited them, when Capt. Maertens, who
was present. at once recognized the notes as
those he had mailed 10 his wife, and which he

tered the OH ce he should be sent to his private
