New York Dry Goods MARKET.

The New York Independent of the 18th
inst. thus reviews the dry goods trade:
The timely check given to the down
ward tendency of gold has had a reassuring
effect upon the market for domestic cot
tons, as well as upon other descriptions of
dry goods. The close of the year is not apt
to be marked by any speculative move
ment; but the previous dullness seems to
have been favorable last week to an I'M
usual degree of activity, particularly in
brown sheetings and shirtings of standard
makes, prices having advanced about a half
a cent yard. In other descriptions of do
mestic cottons prices have frmer tone,
without any decided change. But there Is
an evident disposition among the heavy
jobbing houses to purchase for their spring
trade while prices are down. The manu-
facturers, on the other hand, show no dis
position to force their goods on the market
at the present unremunerative prices.
Printing cloths are inactive; but the
stock in first bends is too limited to create
any fears of fall from the present prices
The demand for prints for the season is
about over; sales are to a moderate extent,
styles Sprague's fancy and dark fall sta
pleS are quOJeu dG lZC, Will Lue USUAL ue-
duction of one per cent.
Wooden goods of all descriptions are Ian
guild. Some large sales have been effected
of cloths at a reduced price; but the de-
mand is small, and prices are irregular.
The trade i'll foreign fabrics is extremely
limited, except for city consumption; and
have not yet determined on their
operations for next season. At present the
are unusually light, and, with
the exception of few dress goods and
silks, most of the goods arriving are sent
to bonded warehouses.

Commodore James Wise, who is now
Superintendent of the Memphis and Gin
cinnati Packet Line, was once Captain of
a Cincinnati and Nashville boat, and a
young lady from Memphis, going North,
was on one occasion passenger in his
charge. When the boat was leaving the
wharf, and all the other passengers were
on the decks taking a parting look at the
city, the Captain observed that the young
lady was sitting alone in the cabin. With
his accustomed gallantry, he approached
her and proposed that she should go out
with him and see the sights The young
lady very readily recognized the Captain,
but quietly informed him that she had
been instructed by her mother to be care
full how she associated with the boat hands

The Hog Trnde.

The Cincinnati Price Current of the 9Th
inst. says: ''Hogs have been in good de-
mand during the greater portion of the
week, and prices are 25c higher. The re-
ceipts have been light, which have en-
couraged those who have gone into stock
still the feeling on the part of those who
have not, is tlat prices under any circum-
stances are too high, and that it is folly to
take the risk inseparably connected with
holding pork at such extravagant prices,
and it must be stated that even the most
sang1ine exhibit good deal of uneasiness.
The light demand for the product, though
rather better than it has been previously,
is another discouraging feature. The ad-
vices we have from the packing points look
to short crop as rule. At Kansas City,
Leavenworth, st. Joseph, and other points
in Iowa, there will be a marked increase,
but, with these exceptions, the indications
are in an opposite direction. At Knoxville,
Tenn, about ), 600 have been packed, and
the season is about over. At Nashville,
Tenn, 5000; at Bowling Green, KY, 200:
at Chattanooga, Tenn, 1000, and the sea-
son over at all these places. The prices
paid range from 50 to $40, gross. Prices
close at 5000. 60 gross, and II. 50@12.75
gross. The receipts for the corresponding
week with the above last year were 81, O91,
and the prices of live were $8.25@S. IS,
and of dressed, S1O.25@1O. 10, and the
market greatly excited"
