Dry Goods.-The failure of Bowers,
Berkman q Co. has cast a gloom over
the market, and all the days business
is languid except in wOOlen shawls
and other specialties. a hat and
cloth house of good standing has also
failed. The cotton goods trade re-
mains quiet, but prices are neyerthe-
less steady.

steady at to per cent. on call.

can gold is lower, opening at 36sc and
closing at 353c. The carrying rates
were / to per cent. Clearances

State bonds steadier; old Tennessees
5sc: new 5jc. Stocks buOyant most
of the day with a marked advance in
rates, particularly in Westerns, and
the market closed irregular, but in the
main fair. The upward speculation
in the Western stocks is assisted by
the prospect of large earnings during
the fall, and in regard to the extreme
Western roads by reports which can
not be verified, that the Great Eastern
trunk roads are seeking to obtain a
controlling interest with view to fu-
ture connection either by lease or
consolidation. In regard to Wander
hilt stocks, we hear that there is to be
another meeting of two companies at
Saratoga this week to consider terms
for a consolidation of the Hudson and
Central. 1t is expected that the basis
Of consolidation will be settled.
