BALLS LAST NIGHT.
The Harlem Yacht Club BAH.

The ball last night at the National Hall, Harlem,
the nrst ever given by the Yacht Club OF that locality
was characterized by three prominent features,
which, setting aside Its other attractions would
alone have made it a great success. These were
beauty, fashion and thorough enjoyment. There
was o cordially surrounding the entire a1aif that
not only spoke volumes for the heartiness OF its
spirited promoters. but will render Its successor
a matter for joyous anticipation. The Har-
lem Yacht Club Is not an organization
merous and chivalrc contests which under its aus
pices came or last year. Almost daily the swift lit
tie craft Of the club might have been seen skimmng
along friendly competition or In genuine .strug-
gle for superiority Throughout the season was very
successful. while, judging from premonltory symp-
toms, the approaching one will be equally SO. The
popularity OF the club fully evidenced last night
for from every point OF view the ball was
all that could be desired Beyond question the ar
rangement were admirable, and the committee, for
the Judicions discrimination exercised was amply
rewarded by the presence OF very select and
fashionable assembage. With the exception OF
some brilliant Jets the hall was not decorated, but
its appearance was nevertheless handsome and pic
ladies were sufficient to render the scene
one OF considerable attractiveness in an artistic
point of view. Grafullas excellent band was
In attendance, and the sweet and fascinating strains
terpsichorean propensities OF the gay and elegant
tnr0ng. A heightened programme Of dancing was
commenced with the most favorable prospects. As
midnight approached the attendance was largely
augmented by fresh arrivals, until the ballroom be-
came a scene OF great pleasure ana animation.
Among those present were Commodore and Miss
Longstreet Mr.. and Miss Roberts, Mr.. Mrs and Miss
Campbell. Altogether the Dall was a complete sue
cess, and rebounds much to the credit or the MEM
bers OF the club, which Is now becoming an excel
lent Institution.

PhsIaGeIpnIn Dry Goods Market.


Tho dry goods market in this city has
been very quiet the past week, while at
New York it has been in Il state of un-
wonted commOtion, during which fail
ures and runors of failures have been
the distinguishing characteristics. For
some time back suudry of the leading
firms there in this branch of industry
have we understand, manifested con-
siderable zeal in selling both wOOllen
aud cotton fabrics to sOme OF the large
clothing houses on four and six months
credit at something below the market
price, OF course taking notes for the
same, and then getting buyers to DIS
count their own notes. This procedure
has frequently Occ4sloned surprise, put
rs general thing the houses doing this
have been regarded as among the
strongest in the trade: But now that
the failure OF some of these has occur
red, the secret is out. Some two or
three of the leading jObbing houses
have "gOne up" while several others
of less noie have been driven to the
wall, and others still are either re-
ported or suspected to be In an unen-
viable position. 1t is not strange that
the extraordinary shrinkage of both
woollen and cotton fabrics within the
year passed has resulted in disaster TO
the trade. Tho hardening OF money
which renders 1t difficult even Tor the
stauuchest houses to obtain accOmmO-
dation with anything like reasonable
facilities or on reasonable terms, opera
tes to the prejudice of the dry goods
trade at this particular jnncture, as the
failure of few prominent firms III any
branch of trade prOverbially engenders
distrust. The fell spirit of speculation
that most prolific source of trouble
permeates every branch of industry;
and, Notwithstanding the fact that there
can be naught but antagonism between
legitimate business and the spec
uiative mania, from which spring
nine-tenths of all the financial and
commercial trouble, it is gradu'
ally extending its baneful influence
throughout trade circles and all over
the country, working ruin where all
would otherwise be prosperity and
thrift. 1t is, therefore, to be hoped thai
those of our business men who mayhavt
been tempted to forsake Legitimate
businss for more hazardous, If more
dazzling, chance of attaining speedy
fortunes in the field Ofspeculatlon, viii
learn wisdom from experience, ana
profiting by the lessons OF the past
return TO the principles of legitimate
commercial pursuits. The volume o
business in domestic cotton goods has
been fair, but prices have been lrregn
lar. BIeached shirtings, brown drill
ings and the leading brown shirting:
have all sold fairly,s and prices tenC
in favor of the seller. Ginghams
checks, jeans, &C., have sold slowly
and prices are barely sustained. The
market, in general, is comparatively
steady. Woolen goods have undergone
comparatively little change, the de
mand continuing moderate.

time, IN the enjoyment of a direct trade
in cotton with England. There is cot
ton firm in that city that is almost ex-
clusively engaged in buying cotton for
Manchester spinners, which cotton Is
shipped directly to them by way OF
Liverpool. One day last week the agent
of the Great Western Express line ship
ped one hundred bales OF this cotton
direct for Liverpool. Memphis is on
the high tide of success. This is a
movement in the trade of that great
staple worthy of note, not only by the
seaboard cities of the North that have
heretofore enjoyed the advantage of the
export of cotton, but of the carrying
companies extending from the Atlantic
seaboard to the interior.
