A New York paper says of the dry
goods market Trade is dull, but the
prospects Of an early resumption of ae-
lvity are improving. The extended
,redIt given in so many instances has ,
urned out dissatisfsetOrily. The goods
bought could not be sold, and are not,
therefore,, paid for, and stocks are too
Of winter goods. A reaction of
prices on spring goods is now being
of. Brown shirtings and sheet
ngs are very dull; but stocks are not in
.xcess, and are firmly held. Bleaehed
FOODS show diminished activity, but
are steady. Canton ~fannels are
luiet; good qualities alone are firm.
and ticks are dull, DENNIS ex-
libit more activity. Prints are rather
more active, and the supply of spring
Is Increasing. Delaines continue
.ctive and prices steady. COburgs are
Moderately active and steady. Broad
lOths are lower. Cassimeres are very
Inactive. ClOthiers, however, are Begin
ing to make inquiry for their early pur-
bases. Satins are dull. FIa0nels are
.ull. Blankets nave become very dull.
nd prices are heavy. Imported fabrics
re all inactive. ImpOFtatiOns have
gain become large, preparing for the
opening. British and continental
oods are coming Out at a higher cost,
higher prices than those of last year
re, it Is said, to be asked. A few weeks
1ill reveal the truth.
An evening paper says: The depres-
ion of business in this city is illustrated
Y the important statement that one of
ur heaviest and most prosperous firms,
'hich paid u tax upon several millions
{ income last year, will this year be un-
bic 70 pay a single cent, owing to heavy :
'sses and general dizziness of trade that
the receipts below the actual ex-
enses. =
These statements will surprise no one
no has observed the course Of trade
nee January, 1856. Declining prices
I'd deferred payments from the interior,
lded by enormous rents and store expen-
s, have united to make the year 1866
cry unsatisfactory to traders throughout
le uaiOn. !
