Evening star., 1869-10-07

In the memorable financial crisis OF 1857,
when so many business firms succombed 70
financial overturning Of ISL, the dry goods
houses were the first 10 yield 10 the ad verse
blast; but IL is q remarkable circumsanceVkat
thus far we have not heard OF the failure 6f
single dry goods firm IN oonseq uence Of the
great gold ''corner," which has produced so
much confusion and disaster among the
moneyed men OF Wall street and Broad street
In brown sheetings and shirungs the busi-
ness OF the past week has oeen comparatively
small. But the leading makes OF the better
qualities have been firm, ard the price OF the
raw materials beiEg unchanged, there rs not
much probability OF lower prices. No
changes OF rates have taken place in
blesched shirungs and sheeungs-or, at
least, none OF sufficient importance TO
the stock in first hands ~ not greater than the
requirements Of the season, and as a better de-
mand Is anticipated, no apprehensions exist OF
A falling I market. M prlnung cloths 81 IN the gray
standard quality, have been reported at 70 Il
cents. Prints are in less active demand, and
vanced half a cent yard have been reduced
to the old rates. But In o her respects there
are no Quotable changes Of prices. Ginghams
continue 70 sell freely, and certain popular
makes are sold up TO the full power OF the
manufacturers 20 turn them out; but the de-
mand is not quite so good as it has been for
nestle Cotton tabrtcs thsre .ra M cSa Sa 90
worth reporting. The demand has eener-
ally fallen of, owing 70 the temporary de-
rangement OF the money market; bat values
have not been sensibly affected. The tone of
the market will be very easily restored. Mus
ian de LANES are not in so much request as they
have been; but there is a fair amou Mt OF trade
tor the season, and the new styles IL troduced
INTO the market command attention and full
prices. There is continuance OF the activity
IN woollen shawls which commenced az the
opening OF the season, and the demand has
been stimulated by new and attractive pat
terms, which command the highest rates Of
the season. Woollens generally are in good
demand. Oyercoaungs are in request and
desirable styles command good prices. There
has been a fairly active demand for fancy
cassimeres and satinets. the better qualities
not being in excess OF the demand; bat for
inferior qualities there is no: much inquiry
flannels are in steady demand, and prices
are without change; but there are no special
movement in these goods which require
noting. Blankets are now tolerably ac-
tive, and the stock in nrst hands hay-
ing been considerably reduced, prices are
firmly maintained. Carpets of domestic man.
ufacture are in steady demand. The best in
grain and Brussels fully maintain the opening
prices OF the season. The market for European
fabrics has been much more affected by the
disturbances IN the gold market than has been
the case with domestic goods. But the tail Of
gold to l3O, which seems TO be accepted as a
permanent line Of demarcation since the late
eign goods geserally. The impOrtaticns OF the
auction rooms have not been quite SO well sup
piled with desirable goods: but prices have not
undergone any material change.-N. T. LR1s-
