Callao, and hard feelings had been revived in
consequence on the part OF the Chilians. A

Dry G00ds

A very marked Improvement has been m an
ifestfd the past week IN dry goods, the benefit
OF which has been chiefly felt by importers
and domestic commission houses. The lob.
bers have b6 en- laying in their fail stocks, and
have bought freely without materially ad
vaneing prices. In wooilens and dress goods
the movement has been lively, and the i'm :
portatiOns and Withdrawals from bonded
warehouses have been large. Prices have
been firm, but only in exceptional instances
has there been any int crease. 1t is better thai
there should be no advance: and importers ap
pear to take very sensible view of the situa-
ton. and 10 content themselves If they can
sell at a small profit
With the increased facilities for trapsporta.
ton, there is not the same necessity for early
purchases by western merchants which eX-
isIed q few years ago; and they naturally put
on as long as they can the replenIshing their
stocks. But the fall trade has already com.
menced, and will in crease in mag nltude during
the next month or two; and the payments, on
than last year.
In domestcs there have been some heavy
transactions, and some of the manufacturers,
agents nave attempted to stimulate purchases
by small conc~ ssion Of prices In two or three
leading styles. But prices have generally held
their own. In certain styles of unbleac ned
sheetings small advance has been established
and is likely to be maintained. In bIeached
goods there has neen an In ncreased supply OF
standard grades: the demand has been active
but without much influence upon prices
Drills are rather dull the demand for them
Is small. Stripes and ticks are in better re-
quest; the be.ier qualities meet with ready
sale. The demand for denims as we'll as fer
seasonable prints is much better
All the fall styles Of prints are now in the
hands OF man ufacturers agents, an sell freely
Some OF the new patterns are very elegant and
are eagerly bought up. Ginghams, iaconets
and cambrics, both white and colored. are
readily taken by the trade. Linseys are in
better demand. Muslin de lanes of dark styles
are in active demand: the new patterns are
unusually attractive. In all domestic goods OF
this claes, the value OF which depends mainly
upon tie taste and artistic skill displayed in
the patterns, our man facturers exhibit q very
marked and gratifying improvement
These remarks apply especially to shawls,
tie quality OF which excels that OF any pre-
vieus season. The market for them is CORES
pondingly good. Our manufacturers are be-
ginning to learn the commercial value of good
tase. American mohair braids are now at.
tracing attention, and offer q formidable COM
petition TO German goods of q similar charac-
ter. Woollen cloths, cassimeres, hannels and
satnets show some improvement, except for
inferior qualities, which are dull. The stock
OF goods Of this class in first hands is still
large, from the ever. man uiacture OF last year.

morahzed. Although rejoiced to aga'n tread
the soil OF their native heath, they find them
selves without cash or property, having in
vested and lost their all in the visionary scheme
of Adams. They left their homes In good cir
