DRY GOODS.
The Dry Goods Market for the past week
has been very active, principally filling
the large accumulation of orders for the
past fortnight. There have not been ma
ny buyers in the market, but we are an
ticipating an active trade in this depart
ment as soon as buyers can leave home
with some certainty Of getting baekagain
\ IN a reasonable length of time with their
purchases. In the supply markets trade
remains very inactive, with no changes in
value. Business must soon revive, as the
spring is rapidly approaching, and the PEI
Rod for an active trade. En q
Prices here remain firm at former quota
tions.

Doors AND SHOES. The dullness in
the general trade had its eff
feet, during January, on this depart
men as well as all others: but bust
ness here kept pace with the activity of
Dry Goods and Grocery sales, last week,
and liberal orders were filled by our job
bers. Some of our merchants, who are now
in the supply markets, report the eastern
trade as very backward, almost nothing as
vet having been done In Boston towards
the Spring trade. Manufacturers are rum
ming very light force, and are determine
| ed TO prevent an accumulation of
| stock, beyond the immediate
! demands of the trade. This viii
have a tendency o hold up prices, which
with abundant stocks and cheaper labor
might otherwise be lower. Country mer-
| chants will find our wholesale houses well
! filed with seasonable goods for the Spring
trade, and always competing with Cincin-
natl, and below louisville.
| HATS AND CAPs-AND CLoTHING.-The
Winter trade is nearly over, and stocks
are being run idownvery low, preparatory
to the receipt of Spring goods. The job
hing houses of this city will early be pre-
pared with new supplies ofsthe latest and
NEST desirable styles, s:ad will make an at
tractive display.
| QUEENswARE-Thes market keeps well
supplied, and the business of the past week
was fully up to expectations. NO changes
In quotations to note. Messrs. Mark &
| Warren were notified yesterday by tele-
graph of large reshipment from Liver
pool vessel to the steamers Kate Kinney
and Virginia, to replenish their ware
| rooms. We found by inspection yesterday,
that the HoIIingsworth Brothers, and
Lichten & Ichenhauser keep their store
rooms well filled up by fresh receipts.
There are few cities in the West that can
| compete with Evansville in this line of
| goods, in stocks or prices.
IRON AND HARDwARE.-Business was
good last week. We make no
changes in quotations, though the price of
Tinplate is not firm. In hardware, the adj
vance in gold has had a tendency to
check any prospective decline. We quote
Bar Iron at SIC; Sheet Iron, boiled 11@9c;
charcoal 1l16@l2c; Tin Plate /. G. 10x14
charcoal SIG 50 per box; NaLs 81 rs;
Ares, Mann's SIG 90; Lippincott's SIT so;
simmons SIS 90.
DRUGs-Trade materially improved last
week, which was quite relief, as this de-
partment has been unusually sluggish.
For the season, the demand is very good.
