THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

The market for domestic cotton goods has pecn
characterized by great irreguarlty during the week
past, having been controlled almost exclusively by
the fluctuations In the cotton market here and In
Liverpool, which have been more erratic and inde-
Enable and inexpcabe than at almost any previous
time. During the first part Of the week the goods
market ruled very buoyant and firm under good
demand and the stimulus Of an excited cotton mar
ket but along in the middle Of the week, under
reaction and decline in cotton, the demand abated
ana the market became heavy, part OF the advance
being lost. subsequently, however, under an active
cotton market and an advance OF mddling upland
cotton to SOC. per pound, superinduced by cores
pondng advance In Liverpool, the goods mar
ket again assumed q buoyant tone, and prices
again favored the seller. The demand con.
tinued very moderate, however, and the amount
of business transacted curing the last three days OF
the week was comparatively small, and confined
mostly TO few OF the leading jobbing houses. The
purchases from the commission houses have fallen or
greatly during the week the jobbers having for the
most part repenlshed their stocks last week, and,
duplicating their purchases from the manufacturers
agents. The market to-day Saturday stands ilrm,
stands adjourned over until Tuesday, no exciting
is anticipated nom that source and, as this Is
about all that AFFECTS the goods market nowadays,
comparatycIy few changes are apprehended in prices
OF dry goods during the next few days.
Prices are somewhat higher, as general thing,
than they a the close OF last week. but the adj
vance Il checked and prices VIII not probably vary
much for some time, save in the event OF radical fluc
petition among the leading houses and those which
aspire 10 become so, and oftentlmes this rivalry
completely controls the market as prices are marked
up and marked down with special view to under
SELL
woollen goods remain steady, with few important
fluctuations In prices. The market Is buoyed up by
the firmness In the wool market.
Imported goods remain steady, with q fair demand
