The LADY OF LARosE.

NOT many years ago, the gay world
OF Paris was excited by strange and
romantic affair. Emile Lamont. a
young lady with splendid fortune,
and highly accomplished in mind and
manners, announced to the world
that she would bestow her hand and
fortune upon any gentleman who
pleased her, but that he must be will
ling, in consideration of her wealth
and other attractions, to put up with
a lace OF unparalleled ugliness. A
certain time each day was appointed
to receive the visits of the snitors at
Larose, MAIDEN oiselle Lamont's bean
tlfui residence in the vicinity of
Paris.
Among the first who responded IN
Inc singular announcement was Sir
Charles Dashington, a young English
man OF noble family, who had sauan-
dered a princely fortune in the gam
bhng houses of the dissipated capital
OF France. He eagerly seized upon
the opportunity to mend his broken
fortunes, and to establish himself
again iii the world of pleasure.
Dashington was possessed of that
beauty of form and face which at
tracts the gaze of artists and wins the
love of women. His self-conccit led
him to suppose that no woman could
resist him; and he thought it only
necessary to present himself before
the Lady of Lnrose in order to win
her hand, and what he valued more,
her fortune. With this object in
view, he attired himself in o magnifi-
cent suit of clothes, hired q carriage,

Dry Goods

The dry goods trade throughout the country
ls at present In q state OF collapse. Almost
every fancy fabric in the market is offered at
price much less than its cost. Some q ute
desirable goods are sold at a loss OF from IS to
50 per cent A few staple goods of both for
eign and domestic manufacture are wanted at
profit, but the instances are very rare Mer-
chants and man nufacturers are pressing sales
with an apparent determination to clear out
all spring and sum mer stock as rapidly as pos
sible and at the best prices possible. Jobbers
are daily marking down their goods to meet
the falling market. In ordinary times, they
wonld make large purchases at auction; bnt
in the present condition OF things low prices
are no temptation whatever. They frighten
buyers rather than tempt them. From the in
terror OF the country, in all directions trade is
reported dull and stocks heavy.
Brown sheetings and shirtings have been
dull all the week. Prices are weak, except
for few standard makes, which for the mo-
ment are steady. Bleached goods are sold
only in very small lots Prices are still tend
ing downward. No large transaction could
be made except at considerable concession
In price. Prints are wanted If the styles are
right, but all others are neglected and lower.
The market appears to be overstocked. Drills
are inactive, both tor export and home con-
sumption. Stripes and ticks are slowly tend
ing downward. Denims are weak and neg.
lected. Printing cloths are not wanted either
for the spring or fall trade Cotton bags sell
slowly, even at reduced prices. Corset Jeans
are In moderate demand for immediate distri-
button. Ginghams sell slowly, but prices are
pretty firm. Printed lawns in best styles are
now wanted in small lots; others are a drug
Cloths are not yet wanted for the fall trade.
and prices are nominal. Cassmeres of best
summer styles are in very limited demand for
city and best interior trade. while others can
not be sold at scarcely any price. Carpets are
steady Ia price and pretty active. Muslin de
LANES, fiannels. and most other wooden fabrics
are almost entirely neglected. The week closes
dull and merchants are now posting off their
statesmen with samples in all directions, hoping
to make sales in the interior, and thereby re-
duce stoCk.-N. Y. INDEPENDENT
