New York Dry Goods Market.
From the Independent, 25th.l

FROM the independent Zoin.I
Extreme jullness has been the rule of
the week in the dry goods marke'. Com
mission houses have done but little. the
a~uctloneers less. and jobbers not much.
Eut. so far as the tone of the market goes.
and the general feeling of confidence in a
speedy revival of an active trade, there
has been a decided Improvement over last
week. There is certainly nothing like a
respondent feeling, nor any apprehension
of q lack of trade when the time
shall arrive for the regular opening
of the fall business The remainder
of July may continue dull, but a gradual
change will be experienced early in Au-
gust. Considerable orders have been re-
from which il may be inferred that the
light purchase of the Spring had been
pretty well exhausted. Country purchas-
ers will be sure of finding more abundant
stocks of domestics as well as of foreign
goods, when they do come; and their
large accumulations will prevent any
large advance of prices.
Hardly any changes in the prices of do
mestics are to be noticed. Cnbleached
shir'ings and sheetings have been mac
tive. and remain the same as last week.
For bleached goods there has been less de-
mand. but prices are firm.
Stripes and ticks are little inquired for,
and only the better qualities maintain
quoted prices. DenimS and are
not in demand, and only the best grades
bring the top prices.
There is still an fhdisposition on the part
of manufacturers to throw their Fall styles
demand for seasonable styles and the
market is well supplied. Delaines are not
In great request purchasers are holding
off for the Fall styles. FN4E

THE New York Shipping Last says:

The business apathy which has been so
conspicuous q feature in commercial Cir
cIes for several months past. is gradually
giving place to an increased movement,
and the general markets are beginning to
assume something like their former vi
tality. A harvest is already as
surred, the cost of subsistence is slowly be-
ing reduced, and the masses who have SO
long been practicing forced economy. will
soon have the means to indulge in a more
liberal expenditure. This will stimulate
commercial activity, and, if we mistake
not. lead to an era OF better times. Al
ready the fears that have been entertain
ed of SeriOu commercial disasters are be-
ing dispelled. and confidence, which is the
parent of prosperity, is gradually return
ing. 1t does not require argument to show
country presazes increased business in all.
There is a national interdependence which
makes the greatest good of all flow from
the prosperity Oft b parts; and, therefore,
while recording the evidences of increas-
ing business in our own city, we
are pleased to note the signs of returning
prosperity in other sections. The South.
as well as the North, has been blessed
with an abundance of food staples, for the
first time in several year. and she also
has the promise of an enlarged cotton
crop, wherewith, let us nope, to
a new and prosperous business career.
Agriculture is recognized as the basis OF
all our prosperity, and the fullnesS of the
crops is the long looked for harbinger of
the supply is in excess of the present de-
mand, butit is thought that the movement

Wheat in Chicago.
The Tribune of the 25th says:


There is nothing of m doing in the
Wheat market. New Winter Wheat is
daily being received, to the extent of a few
car loads, and these are sold to the city
millers, who are running from hand to
mouth. Spring Wheat Is very dull, n
for present delivery we hea of no transact
tions beyond car load lots for immediate
use. There is very little DISPOSE ion on the
part of spectators to operate for future de-
livery, though some adventurous contracts
for No. 2 Spring were made to-day at 81 55
for August, and 81 so for early September
deIivery-sellers' option. The prospects
for an abundant crop were never better,
and, Notwithstanding that the new harvest
will come upon the heels of an exhausted
supply, there is no conddence in the sta
bi1ity of present prices, or eve prices az.
proximating to them. rr
Messrs. Winaps d Co., commission mer-
chants, exhibited a sample of some new
No. 2 Spring wheat received yesterday
from Sangamon County vid Alton & st.
Louis Railroad. Last year the first receipts
of new Spring Wheat made their appear,
ance on August 6th-nearly two weeks
later than this season.
