NeW York pry Goods Market.
From &c y. y. Ildependent.


The contiuation of the heated term
which commenced week before last,
had the effect OF willing prices of al
most everything but domestic cottons;
and the whole market for dry goods
sympathized with sheetings and shirt
ings, and maintained prices in very
remarkable manner. The transactions
were not large; but the cheapness of
money and the prospects OF the fall
business give an extraordinary firm
ness of tone to the whole market.
Neither manufacturers nor jobbers ap-
pear to anticipate any decline In prices;
and where such a feeling is shown, in
common with both producers and con-
sumers, there is little likelihood OF
any decline taking place. There is
nothing in the present condition OF our
national finances, nor In the reports OF
the harYests from the great grain-pro-
ducing region of the West, to cast
shadow upon the business prospects OF
the immediate future. In some styles
of goods there has been a slight adj
vance established, but in most articles
prices have been evenly maintained.
In brown sheetings and shtrttngs
there has not been quite so much activ-
tty as in the previous week but prices
have improved about n cent yard in
standard makes. In bleached goods
the advance is fully maintained, and
iobbers are quietly adding to their Fall
trade.
Drills are in better demand, while
the stocks in first hands have considera-
bly diminished. Canton Flannels are
more inquired for, and the popular
makes are held at higher rates. Corset
jeans are without material change, and
the market is we'll supplied. Checks
are in better demand, but there is no
marked change of prices. Denims and
cottonades are in good demand and prt-
ces are a shade higher and tirmer.
In printing-cloths there have been
same considerable transactions, and
prices are firm, though the market for
gray goods is less active than 1t was
last week.
In prints there is a firm demand for
medium and light effects, considering
the season; but dark styles are not yet
in full supply, and prices are not set
tied. In the new styles for the Fall
trade there is an advance of about hall
a cent yard. Ginghams remain in
active without any material change OF
prices.
Rolled jaconets are in good demand.
Cambrics, except for the better quail
ties, are quite Inactive.
Italian cloths are moderately active,
the demand coming mostly from the
large clothing houses; but prices are
without decided change. For cloths
and over coatings there is an increased
demand, and both buyers and sellers
appear to have greater confidence in
the market, but prices are without ma
terial change. But there is more busi-
ness doing in cassimereS and satinets,
with slight improvement in prices;
the new styles of fancy cassImeres are
very attractive and meet a ready mar
ket. The better qualities of sHtinsts
sell freely, but the lower grades are
Kentucky leans are in moderate de-
maud for the better qualities, but infe-
rior grades are in small request.
In foreign goods there is but little
doing. The season is early for the
opening of Fall styles, and the impor-
tations, except in plain merinOs, is
small. For the next three or four weeks
there will be constantly improving
increase in the amount and quality Of
dry goods importations.
