New York Dry Goods Trade.
From the Tribune, 9TH inst.1


The year opens with the quiet usual in
the Dry Goods market at thi sea- on, The
feeling IN the trade IS more hopeful than
for several weeks past The manufactur-
ing upon lighter stocks, so that their
agents are not likely TO be constantly
hamDered by depressing accumulatiOnS
and in many cases they are reducing
wages ia their mills, which will enable
them the. better 10 meet the demand or
goods AT low prices judging. from To .
statements OF importerS, and the tenor OF
advices FROM Manchester aud Lyons, the
| i'm portatiOnS for the Sp3 ing trade are like
Iy to latI much below those of last Spring
a prospect which tends TO revive conf
dence. n he do nestle market there
has beea no changS of moment in prices
ana, as usual at the holiday season, the
amount of transactions has been quite
nominal.
Brown Sheetings of standard weights are
in steady demand, ana rather scarce, so
that prices are steady. Light weights are
10 full supply, and could DE bought in full
parcels at concession.
Bile ;ched goods are quiet. There is fair
demand from shirt7makers. but otherwise
tile market is duIL New j ork Mills are
row sold by agents at 2215c; WamSuttAs
sell al 2Jc for A. 231ze for s-8, and &c
Tor 5-4.
Brown Drills are quiet, and quotations
unchanged. Laconfa, PeppereIl Apple
ton, India, China, and Massachusetts, are
each quoted by agents at 1917 for brown;
In Cotton flames there is little doing
beyond few transactions in the better
grades.
Corset Jeans are dull and weak in the
lower que lities, but IN fine grades there is
moderate business at about late prices.
Strip nd Ticks continue dull.
Prints are quiet There is a steady de-
mand for new work in neat styles; but
there is a moderate accumulation of sec
ond-rate styles upon the MARI Ct, which
can be disposed OF only at concessions in
price
Nous. delaines IRE quiet, the leading
brands being quoted at BIC by AGENTS.
The trade in Wooden goods Is dull. There
are some buyers OF cloths by the clothing
house,, but this class of buyers operate with
caution. There is no demand as yet for
Spring cassimeres, the p ices of which are
unsettled, the prospect being that the mar
x ct viii be well supplied with That class of
goods. K ntucky jeans sell slowly at re-
Guced prices. The carpet manufactures
havere uced their quotations both for In
grain and Brussels

The Memphis AUG GHch of the 7th saws:
The condition of the South, and the
prospect OF selling anything this season,
ms y be estimated from the fac that there
is not pabulum for the starving STOCK, and
no money to procure it. A shipment of
eighty mules was recently sent 10 this city
nom White river, nine of which died of
absolute starvation before hey could be de-
an mails that are not slaughtered by the
maraudlng freedmen, to preserve their
own Wretched lives, are reduced to the
economical arrangement of a s'straW per
day" This gloomy view OFFS he situation"
includes the people themselves, who have
nothing but priVatiOu and distress in pros
pecI.

The New York Conmercial Adcertiser
styles the West the dread basket of the
world. Quoting from the report of the
Agricultural Bureau, il says "the terri>
tory between the Mississippi River and
the Pacific Ocean, which in 1859 yielded
about %. 600, 900 bushels of wheat, this
year harvests 65,OOO,O 900 bushels, while
the country east of the Mississippi has
made no increase as a whole" Nine
years ago the West produced only one
now it produces fully a third, and when
the Pacific coast quadruples its yield, as
it is easily susceptible of doing, it will
produce more grain than the entire
United States in 1850 From such facts
as these, and the remarkable increase
of population from 5000 900 TO $1,000
600 of people within the lifetime of a
man. can the wonderfully rapid growth
and development of the Republic be
fairly considered. We have 100000
600 acres of agricultural lands. With
n population of 400 to the square mile.
less than the densely populated coun-
tries of the Old World, the United
States would have 1.000. 1000. 600 of
people. The Census Bureau estimates
the population in 1870 at &C, ,0O0, 900, and
in 1900 at 1O0, 0,355, ,sO2 These estimates
are based upon actualities, and if the
same facts hold good until the children
of "the coming man" are little gray.

While the Indian war continues, L do
not deem any general legislation for the
reduction of the Army advisable. The

the receptions which lie before US. will
leave US in no want Of enjoyment. Some
fears are expressed that your city will
yet step into the Capitol bill. The Bea
verhead members have not forgotten the
unceremonious manner in which they
were robbed of the Penitentiary at lass
session, and unless they can have il
back l understand they will join with
your members on the Capital. for their
assistance in the prison location. The
Deer Lodgers do not want to lose the
Penitentiary. and so there is muss,
which few days will probably dispose
of one way or the other. / can think OF
nothing more TO interest you.
