thus speaks Of the dry goods market
Very little change has occurred in the general
character Of the market for domestic fabrics during
the r15t week. The season is drawing to close
there are but few buyers in town from the South
and West and, though many Of our jobbers have
recourse to the very unwise eXpedent Of reducing
the prices one or two leading articles, in order
TO induce purchases, the market has undergone no
quOtable change. The tendency OF prices, how
ever as usually the case at the end OF active
season, is rather in favor OF the purchaser. The
of money has helped, Of course, 20 give steadi-
trade which is yet to be supplied before the final
close of the season OF 1869.
The aggregate business In unbeached shirtings
and sheetings for the past week has been small,
but prices have been evenly maintained for stand
ard makes, though few descriptions OF the less
popular marks have undergone reduction OF hail
a cent yard
Bleached shirtings and sheetings arc without ma
| terial change. Sales are steady, but in limited
quantities., and prices remain the same IS last
| week. Probably a large purchaser would meet
| with concession to the extent OF cent yard
| but there are no large purchasers in the market
| just now. New York Mills sell at dc, and Wsne-
sutta at - at 20c.
The demand for stripes aud ticks has shown
some improvement; but we do not hear Of any
large sales and prices not so firmly maintained
| as thsy have been. But the market Is generally
steady Tor the various descriptions OF blue cotton
/ fabrics.
There is said to be rather better demand for
/ dentms and cottonadss, particularly from the
/ clothing houses, which unpsrts more nrmness to
| prices. The market ia abundantly supplied with
| goods Of this class.
/ Cambrics and silesias are without any special
change; but the latter are beginning to be more
| inquired for by the manufacturers Of clothing
/ Prices are steady.
/ Printing cloths are reported in good demand, and
/ the stock of gray cloths in first hands Is repre-
| scented as unusually small 1t is hardly probable
| that the supply win more than keep up with the
/ demand from the printers Prices are firm.
There is an active demand for choice styles Of
/ prints, and prices are consequently well kept up
/ The new patterns which manufacturers have pui
/ upon the market are wen calculated to stimulate
\ purchaser.
/ Ginghams are lass active than they have bean
few favorite styles still sell to considerable e1
| tent and prices are unchanged. But the seasoI
| for these goods is nearly over.
Muslin de LANES not in lively request. IN
| sales are about equal to what may be expected q
the close OF the season. Prices are steady. Paclh
| eompany's de LANES sell at Ac- Manchester bril-
| liants at &c. Pacific plain slpscas at 25c.
| WooIien goods are generally dull and without
| change of rates.
Blankets and hannels are slow Of sale, ana price
! are unchanged
| Fancy cassimer55 and EatiDet5 Of the bette
| qualities and attractive styles sen moderately q
| steady price, but there Is very little call tor tn
| inferior grades.
| The large clothing manufacturers are making sc
lections to moderate extent OF cloths and coatings
| but the general trade is duh, and the JobbeFs IT
| anxious TO reduce their stocks.
Very little OF importance "a doing in foFeig1
goods, and that little, except for Jew styles o
choice goods for city tT0de, Is done at reduced an
irregular prices. Importers show great anxiety I
get rid Of the remnants OF their invoices, and job
bers are equally anxious to reduce their stocks
The sales at auction are Of The character usual 8
this time of year. ImpoTtationS are decreasing
and the general desire - to close ont stocks an
prepare for the next season.
