THE DRY GOODS MARKET.

Trade In this department has been more than usu-
ally depressed since the writing Of our report week
ago, and the leading dealers report the dulest and
wthal most unsatisfactory week for long time.
There has been general marking down OF prices,
there having been singular unanlinity of opinion
that no business could be done the basis of pre-
vous quotations, and the only hope Of inducing pur-
chasers to any considerable extent lay in the
marking down Of prices. This was resorted TO, but
without avail. There is no life in the market,
and 1t seems utterly impossible to impart any degree
Of animation TO the market. The fact is the season
is over and it cannot be protracted especially in the
fact OF declining cotton market The late advance
in cotton was so sudden and so radical that there
has been but little faith in the permanency of the
extreme prices lately current The market i'm Liver
pool has relapscd into extreme dulness and prices
are steadily declining there, ana by consequence
here Also IN view OF this fact there would seem 10
be buf little prusDect Of resuscltaticn and there
are few who anticipate u return o the great excite
lreut Wllcn recently Cifnnci IN The cotton
market ana without this Incentive the market for
manufactured goods promises 20 maintain mastery
inactivity for some time which ~ not unlikely 10 oO-
tain during the entire summer season. Stocks are
generally light, but they are gradually augmentng
from acquisitions which are being made by the nu-
lnerous manufacturing towns OF New England and
elsewhere There viii be no scarcity OF goods for
the fall trade and II would not be surprising IT, on
the contrary, there should be large supply and a
more general assortment than usual. as the cotton
upon which most OF the manufactures are engaged
was obtained at comparatively low figures, prices
ought to be reasonable, for prices will of course be
governed TO some extent by the price Of cotton at
the commencement OF the fall trade.
II will be observed that our quotations are quite
generally lower but the reduction has not been fol-
lowed by any increase of business; the contrary,
trade has seldom been 80 dull and unsatisfactory
during the past week, and at its close we find prices
nominal at the reduction noticed.
Woollen goods and imported goods remain quiet
but comparatively steady.
