There have been some large purchases from
the West, in the market during the week. for
domesics. and prices have stiifened up l,tls
. in censeq nence. Johbers. in the authorization
o. the revival oftrade, have also bought largely
which has led 10 a slight increase of prices in
certain STYLES of goods; bnt there has hean no
conceded that the cotton crop OF 1867 will result
E in full 3,oG0.Ui0 bales, all tue recent adyices
i. from the doubtful parts of the south giving
more en- encouraging reports than were enter
tained month ago. While this is by no means
full crop, ii is so much better than was an
ttcipateo that 1t gives no room for anything
ike a speculative demand, and no advance III
the raw material will take place during The
year. Prices will nor vary much. and manu-
tacturers know now what the supply OF cotton
viii he, and can make their calculations ac-
cordingly.
We are quite con dent that the fall trade will
be fully equal TO the antcipstions OF both
manufacturers and iobbers in the aggregate
though IL may, OF course. fall saort in some
particular instances. The greatest improve
ment has been shown In the demand for un-
bleached cottons OF all qualities, while for
some descriptions of blea ched sheetines there
has been very fair demand and prices have
been ad dyanced a halt a cent yard Wamsut-
tas and New York mills have been in good re-
quest. In drills prices have rather fallen off.
owing to the large accumula'ions of stock in
first hands. Cotton jeans have been in I'M
proved demand without any material change
OF price. The better qualities of stripes and
ticks are wanted, but there is little doing In
tue inferior styles. DENNIS and cottonades are
steady at our quoted rates, but the poorer
grades are not in demand. There are very
limited sales of gray printing cloths. and prices
are irregular. The demand for dark prints has
been very considerable since the fail STYLES
were put upon the market, and good patterns
meet with a ready sale at quoted prices
There has been but very limited call for
ginehams, the season being too far ad vanced
for the light styles. aud the fail patterns not
being yet in the agents hands. Rolled laconets
and cambrcs are in good supply, and the bet
ter qualities MAINTAIN full rates. Silesias are
in request and prices stiff. Lfnseys are in
active, and prices yielding. In muslin de
lnines there is litte doing, owing to tae non.
appearance OF the dark styles, which are the
only patterns wanted at this season. except for
the retail trade. The trade IN shawls will soon
be active; but prices are not yet settled. Some
of the shaws OF the Watervlet make, which
have appeared in market have attracted at
tentIon by their superior quality and the nov
manufacture which is yearly growing in i'm
portance, and American shawls Will soon
crowd the coarser kinds, German and Scotch
shawls, out OF the market. italian cloths con-
tinue in active demand or cloth ers, and prices
are firm. Woolens are well sustained. Coat.
ings. cassimeres, and satinets are in active de-
mand at quoted prices. Kentucky jeans sell
more freely than they have done, except the
poorer qualities. which are not in active de.
mand. Fiannels and blankets improve in de-
mand as the season advances. but prices re.
main steady at our quotations.
There is nothing to report of any change in
relation to foreign goods. The importauons
are still light compared with the mportaions
of last year: but there is not an excessive stock
on hand, and prices are fnlly kept up. In
worsteds and fancy dress goods of good STYLES
there is good demand. and prices have ad-
vancsd. Silks of pain styles, and the new
patterns from Lyons, seme of which ara ex.
tremely beautiful, command high figures. as
DO the choice patterns of plain coloTed silks
The lmportatfons OF dry goods since January
1867, has been seven billions of dollars lass
