DRY GOODS.

There are no changes Whatever - note In the
prices Of domestics; and, as the price OF cotton
Is becoming more steady than 1t has been while
The product OF this years crop was uncertain,
manufacturers may calculate on more reli-
able market and upon better profits. The de-
mSnd TOT brown goods OF slI KINDS remains
TO The wants CT the market There is no over
stock OF goods, and very little prospect OF a
speculative movement to send up prices. The
ordinarily heavy buyers are anticipating a de-
cine, and consequ uentiy keep up a hsnd-to-
mouth supply. The dema nd for the 10 yer
grades of bleached goods is more active thau
u was, ano stocks In the hands of agents have
been considerably diminished slight ad-
vance may probably occur soon in bleached
sheetings. In cotton fannels. oenims, ,eaps
and STRIPES and ticks, the market is firm aud
The dc mand good Prints continue in better
request rhan most otter kinds of goods At
no period since the establishment OF the
great print-works OF Lawrence, Lowell, and
Providence have the styles of thus descrip-
ton OF fabric exhibited more gratifying
and encouraging evidences OF improvement
in the beauty and variety OF their patterns
than the present season. This improve nent
is not uniform, nor yet exceptional; but indl-
Gates greater intelligence, skill and TASTE
generally, than they have shown by American
manufacturers Too little attention has been
given hitherto to the production of original
an d beautiful designs. which have a positive
commercial value, as well as the intrinsic
quality of he fabrics upon which they are
printed. Ginehams, rolled jaConets, cambrics.
some Improvement In the demand; but no
change in prices. In muslin de LANES the
trade is active: many novelties OF patterns
have lately been put upon the market, aud the
remarks which have been made about prints
Will apply with equal force to these goods.
The supply OF shawis is very large, Of every
kind, and prices are not quite so firm as they
were. The market is affected to a certain ex-
tent by too large supply OF Inferior qualities,
both as regards make and patterns Cloths
cassimeres, and satInets not quite az
active they have been. ltatian cIotns sell
freely Of the cheaper grades, but the firmer
sort are not in such good demand. Ken
lucky jeans have been IN better request and
fanDels are unchanged. The market is welt
supplied with all descriptions In carpets and
blankets there is considerable dong, and sales
are steady al our quotations. There is grow
ing demapd for American linens, especially
for unbleaChed crash but the vast field which
lies open to our manufacturers In this line of
Industry is almost unoccupied. There Is a
pretty good supply, however, Of coarse linen
goods, and the finer qualities will come along
in due time. Less protection, in the way OF
duties, is afforded TO linens than to any other
and prints pay q duty Of about 60 per cent
linens pay but 80 to 35 per cent
There has been more animation in the market
for foreign goods, and some large sales OF
nearly every variety of foreign fabrics at the
auction rooms during the week. The stock of
staple goods on hand Is fully equal to the
demand; but the new styles OF millinery, silks
and fan Cy goods are resdily taken soon as
they are put upon the market. The importa-
tiors are sill less than they were last wear
