Dry Goods.

The spring business is backward, and the
amount of trade during the past week has been
much .ess than had been anticipated. Conse-
quently. prices of most descriptions OF dry
goods, and especially of domestic cottons, have
been rather uncertain; the upward tendency of
the week previous has been checked and an
other dull week, which can scarcely be looked
for, would lead TO a decline, though the light
stock an first hands would prevent anything
like panic. More moderate weather, better
roads, and the opening Of river navigation,
must necessarily produce a marked change IN
business matters.
In brown sheetings the transactions of the
week have been comparatively limited, ana the
stocks IN first hands are somewhat increased:
but they are very much smaller than they were
last year at this time. Most description of un-
bieached goods are firmly held, and II is said
that manufacturers have still some large orders
to MI before any fresh engagements can be en-
tered into.
Bleaohed goods are temporarily dull. but
prices have not given way. and il is possible
there Will be n slight advance il the weather
should be favorable for trade the coming week.
New York Mills sell at y cents, and Wamsut-
tas are about cent higher than last week
Drills are in fair demand and prices are firm
Corset jeans sell readily at The prices OF last
week. Stripes and ticks are considerable in
CURED fer, and prices are tending higher
Prints have not been quite as active as during
the last week, but prices are not materially
changed. There is not much doing in eiug.
hams, ano printed lawns are rather dull thong
the season for them can hardly be considered
to have opened yet. Rolled jacOnets are mod
dChlNt slles las con.
fined chiefly to small lots.
Muslin de LANES of the new spring styles are
offered IN good assortments- and the demand a
good, but prices keep down comparatively 10 ".
There is a fair demand for Italian cloths from
the clothiers. There is also an improved de-
mand for Kentucky jeans Of the better grades,
and prices are slightly higher.
In woolens there is no decided change. The
market is abundantly supplied with cloths, and
only the finer qualities command much attau-
ton from buyers. There is some inquiry for
fancy cassimeres and satinets adapted for the
spring season.
The business in foreign fabrics il rather lin
tied, but the offerings at auction have been large
and the sales well attended. The i'm rtations
are something less than those of last year. but
they are sufficiently large, and the bonded
warehouses are filled with goods waiting for a
market. Silks are constantly increasing IN
value, and the consumption appears to be on
the increase. Black and staple silks sell At
good prices. The season is too backward vet To
bring out the lighter styles of fancy silks and
dress goods, OF which there is a full supply
ready TO bee exposed soon as the demand
reg uires them.-Ind, pendent.

FATAL RESULT OF THEUsE or CHLoRoYoRM

morning, when the two ph ysicians who were in

was necessary, and that in her weak state IL
was advisable TO administer chloroform- This
