"Gold is dull, the controlling operators,
although much divided in their opinions,
agreeing in this, that their only safety is
found in inactivity. The loan rate is 5G
65 for carrying, the supply Of coin being
abundant for delivery.
THE loan market is fairly active at
per cent, with transactions at 5 and at 7.
The shipments Of currency to the interior
are rather on the increase, but those to the
South are not beyond the average. In dis
counts little is doing, choice bills passing
at 64@89, with very light offerings
The New York Independent of the Sd
inst. says of drygoods
Prices have been fully sustained for do
mestics of all kinds during the week, and
in some instances there has been an adj
vance but the ageFness to buy has not
been a. great as it was the week previous,
and consequently there has been q greater
willingness to sell This change in the
temper Of the market has been occasioned
by slight reduction in the price Of the
raw material, and in a email degree, per-
hsps, TO the political complexion Of affairs
in Washington.
There are no symptoms Of a reaction in
the market, however, aud "a the spring
business can hardly be said 10 have fairly
commenced, il Is not likely that any fall
ing of will be experienced Just as the large
purchasers from the West begin 20 make
their appearance. The extreme eolGness
Of the weather renders trade little back
ward; but many Of our largest houses eI-
press themzelves we'll satisfied with the
present state Of Affairs. The impotfaiions
of British and continental fabrics are very
nearly np TO the full amount Of the CORES
bonding period last year, and the receipts
for dniies at the customhonse show that
there is no falling of in general trade.
Woolens, which have been in 10 depressed
condition for the past year, give healthy
indications Of improvement.
In unbleached domestics there IL still
considerable activity, and rise Of full Que
cent yard ia heavy sheefings is reported.
The stocks ia first hands are very much
run down, and in some cases there il an
actual scarcity Of standard qualities.
There has been less activity in bleached
goods bat the stock Of faY0rit. makes
being very greatly reduced causes a stifIen-
ing OF prices, and in some cases an adj
vance Bu; the largest jobbing houses are
we'll supplied, and there il nothing like
speculative movement manifested among
buyers.
Dsilis are in good demand, and prices
are firm. Corset jeans sell readily TO sup
ply a steady manufacturing demand.
Stripe and checks show some improve
meat at firm prices. DENNIS and cotton
AIDES are ia good demand prices Of light
add heavy grades are well sustained. The
advanced prices Of last week Sor printing
cloths, in the gray, have not been fully

vance in prints, and the demand continues
active. Ginghams are in good demand
and readily placed at foil prices. Printed
lawns are not yet fully in season, bat
prices are frm. Balmorsl skirts sell freely.
