Dry Goods.

The dealings in unbleached domestics and
prints during the past week have been very
much In the style OF the dealings in Erie and
New foTk Central at the Stock Exchange, the
bears in prints, however, struck hard pan
much sooner than the bears in Erie did, but
quite ehectually. The two great rival houses
in Inc trade marked down their prices stimuli
ianeously to ~ and 12k cents for prints, upon
which the shorts rushed in to buy: and, as Al.
ways happens in such cases, thereupon prices
went up again, and the whole market for do
me sites was demoralized and unsettled. The
commission houses and manufacturers. agents.
however, were not greatly influenced by the
lively times inaugurated by the houses in ques-
tion, and affairs are quietly settling into a reg
ular condition. The market has been sensibly
affected, too, Dy the stringency of money: but
as me present week will be the last of the pinch,
greatly improved, In brown goods the trans
actions have been small from first hands, ow-
ing 10 the competition among some OF the lead
ing lobbing firms to force sales. But prices
are not materially changed and, the stock on
hand being small for the season, no decline can
be anticipated, unless there should be a consid- :
cradle falling off in the price of the raw
