DRY GOODS MARKET.
Trade is slowly recovering from its
lethargy, although business is still far
from nctive. 1t is very evident we
are on the eve of Il more animated de-
mand, and holders are consequently
quite firm in their views respecting
prices for all seasons and descriptions,
while here and there passabl0 styles
are offered at some slight concession in
order to attract attention. All first
class STYLES of prints are firm and in a
fair request at 13al3NC; extra makes
bring 15c; most buyers are not willing
to pay over 12Ac for calicoes, and any
good brands like Lancaster, Oriental
and Manchester offered at this price are
taken freely; Androscoggin sells at
lO%c. Heavy Brown Sheetings are
steady at lGKal7c for best Eastern
goods; 16c for best. Southern printing
cloths were slow and depressed at SIC
for standard seven yard goods.
MONEY AND STOCKS.
MoNEY-More active and firm at :
per cent on call. The currency balance
in the sub-Treasury was increased to-
day by the transfer of SO, ,0OO; 600 from
Washington, raising it to 50, 600, 900,
which precludes the idea of gold sales.
The uncertainty as to the time when the
bank statement will be called for by the
Comptroller, induces banks to husband
their resources and not lending freely.
Discounts Gall per cent. for first class
names.
STERL1NG-Weak at 1OS34a1OS75.
GoLD-Stronger under the belief that
the Government will not sell at present
and the introduction of the resolution
in the Senate relative 10 Cuba. Opened
at 1917; closed at 13l55a13lA. Wash
ington advices say the coin balance in
the Treasury is one hundred and three
millions dollars, including $29. .0OO,0 ,0OC
the currency balance is Sl3, 100000. The
Treasury disbursements since March
lst, were seven and half million dol
lars, against receipts of four millions
OF dollars from internal revenue, two
millions of dollars from miscellaneous
sources and eight million dollars from
customs.

closed steady. Coupons '81, 116Aal17i

SToCKs-The stock market was irreg-
ular during the forenoon, though In
the main heavy. Pacific Mail was the
the feature and fell to 962S. Large
amounts OF this stock are now held by
brokers and it can be easily depressed.
The approaching completion of the Pa
cific Railroad is used as an argument
against it. a general weakness con-
tinued most of this afternoon, racine
Mail touching 81. About 4 O'Clock
this afternoon the market steadied and
prices improved somewhat, but at the
close there was a very unsettled feeling.
The sales OF New York Central to day
were heavy, one operator alone sold
5000 shares.
