Dry Goods.

Last week was a broken week for the dry
goods trade. The meeting Of the Democratic
Oon ventton and the celebration OF our great
national produced so much distraction among
business men that only affairs OF pressing me-
cessity were attended TO- There wa. a much
larger business done, however, in the great sta
pies OF our domestic manufacture than could
have been expected. Prices were little irreg-
ular; but In unbleachcd cotton goods there was
hrm feeling, aud no transactions took place
Wmen indicate a disposition Of the large
holders to force sales. There is hardly
any change to be noted in any description
OF fgoods since our last report. Woollens are
In rather better demand. But not until next
week will business so shape itself that quota
tons can be made Of an entirely reliable char
acfer. Some of our jobbers are reducing their
stocks very low in preparation for the faiI
trade, which Is confidently expected on ali
hands TO be large one. The crops are now
sufhciently matured 90 give confidence in the
ability OF the South ard West 20 pay for all The
goods that may be needed for those great sec
tions and, judIng from the scant purchases OF

NEW YORK, July s.-The excitement over
the nomination is at fever heat this morning.
The crowds in and out of the Convention see N
greater than ever.
Nearly all OF the delegations have held eau.
cueses: most of them last night.
The break IN the Indiana delegation has de-
moralized the Pendleton men.
The Pennsylvania delegation have decided
to hold on to Packer.
II is believed that New York Will leave
Church and name Hendricks or Chase this
morning.
The morning papers are all at sea as TO the
result.
The Herald thinks Chase will be nominated.
The World believes Hendricks has the best
chance.
The Times thinks the nomination lies be-
tween Hendricks and Hancock.
The Trtuae editoriaIly mention rumor that
Chief Justice Chase has telegraphed over, fully
endorsing the platform.
At meeting Of the Pennsylvania delegation
this morning an attempt was made to drop
Packer and vote for Hancock. II failed, bu,
by only small majority.
When the action OF the delegation was com.
munfcated 10 the outsiders, tremendous excite
msnt pre- evailed, and a small riot occurred, but
was soon quelled.
The outsiders were mostly Hancock men,
but they failed TO change the delegation.
