DRY GOODS.
Dry Goods, as with all other depart-
ments of business, have been. during the
past week, exceedingly dull, owing to the
suspension of navigation. But for this, we
think there would have been good lively
trade done. The Indications now are that
there will be resumption of navigation
during this week, and with it, also, of
business. The prices in the supply mar
kets have ruled steady and firm, with
slight advances on Heavy Brown Sheet
1ngs; here, there is no change to report,
and we continue to quote as last week:

ing.
IRON AND HARDwARE.-We make no

were light, but during the past three or
four days he number has largely increas-
ed, and packers have been fully employed.

week. Contracts are already made for the
most of the hogs, which will find their way
to this market, and they will as far as It Is
possible be delivered within the next few
days. The price was yesterday ruling at
from 80 Is to Sc 50 net.

supplied with Green Meats, new Mess
