DRY GOODS MARKET.

The dry goods market has been altogether less
active during the past week and prices have in
some instances receded lc. &c. on muslins from
the highest point obtained during the excitement
noticed q week ago. The reaction was caused by
the reaction in the cotton market, consequent
apon the unfavorable turn of the news from
Liverpool causing buyers to withdraw from
the market. A large amount of goods changed
hands during the period of activity, how
ever. so that stocks have become greatly
reduced, and some sorts are nearly run out,
as we some time since stated they would in
the event of any considerable demand. Owing to
this fact holders are less disposed to meet buyers
than they otherwise would be. Still the indica-
tions favor decided reduction in prices of many
kinds Of goods, and if cotton decline
much more nothing can prevent depre-
citation of values of cotton fabrics The
late advance in prices was occasioned, as
we remarked at the time, more by the advance in
cotton than by the increased demand; and this
being the case. the fall in cotton would almost
certainly cause decline in goods. But the
scarcity Of many descriptions will prevent a
decline to anything like the prices current two or
three weeks ago, and buyers who are now hold
to the old basis will find themselves mis-
taken. In beached muslins New York
mills have settled down on the basis
