DRY GOODS.
The market for plain bleached and
unbleached muslins Is excited in sym
pathy with cotton, and prices have RI
en- full one half cent per yard, on all
low and medium grades, with ten
deucy toward higher rates. New style
LIGHT prints are opened at 1870 for
goods like the Pacific Mills prints, and
Il is likely that all the best makes will
open at this price, if not higher; some
medium styles of Sprague's are ofte red
at l3c; all of Carver & Co.'s prints,
Amoskeag, &C., have been withdrawn
from sale, but will open much higher
beautiful pieces at 3lc. The Southern
trade are buying more freely than the
West, and it now appears that all cot
ton goods will go higher within the
next thirty days. Appleton A sheet
ings are up to 16Hc; Pequot A, l7c;
Mystic River 1l}3c; Augusta's buoy
ant at 1910; Stark A, 16c. amp Augusta
| l3Aal3Lc. 1t is now difficult to buy the
best Brown Drills at 1615c; but other
good makes can be picked up at lO4c.
Among jobbers the most important
movement has been in bleached mus
lins, to- day, and most OF the Popula
makes have been pretty we'll closed out,
preparatory to u more general advance.
MONEY AND STOCKS.
McNEY-E4sier. The Commercial says
the large surplus bank reserve has an
assuring effect on the banks. Money
continues to flow in freely from the
Western cities and the interior States,
TO purchase government and other
securities. There is strong speculative
movement in the stock market; the
western roads especially strong. 1t is
reported SO, 600, 900 bonds will be paid of
through the proceeds of foreclosure,
uDOn certain railroads defaulting on
their interests. United States bonds
were firm on Saturday at closing
| figures. Gold went up on the reports
| that the Paris conference were uutavOr-
able to the maintenance of peace.
Money in free supply at per cent
currency on stock collaterals, and per
| cent on Governments for call loans. In
| the afternoon the demand becom-
ing more active, transactions were
made at per cent, sold mainly to
small borrowers with mixed colaterals,
| and there were even exceptional opera
tions at l-32al-16 per cent commission.
First class firms had no difficulty how
ever ins:getting all the money they
wanted at I per cent currency. The
heavy realIEations in the stock market
have caused considerable amounts to
pass into weaker hands for the moment,
| which was the occasion OF the hurry Ill

at 1855 5al35H.
GovERNMENT SToCKs-Declined un-
der heavy realiZations, and report that
the Secretary OF the treasury mas engag-
ed to deliver Wall street house, hVe
| millions of new Cos, before February
lst. The rumor has been strictly denied
by the assistant treasurer. Mr.. Van
Dyck has only 600 900 dollars to sell i'll
any event, and there is no immediate
prospect OF that being sold. Coupons

SToCKs-The upward speculation in
railroad shares was checked this morn
ing by extensive sales to realize an ad-
vance of the last few days; the leading
stocks were Pittsburgh, Rock Island,
Michigan Southern, Northwestern and
Pacific Mail. The market became firm
at the O'Clock board, but. at the second
regular board was heavy and lower,
being unfavorably affected by the tenn
porary furry in the money market; the
decline ranged from 4 to 2 per cent, the
most conspicuous weakness being
evinced by Rock Island, Fort Wayne,
Northwestern, old Southern and New
York Central. AT o'clock the market
was steady, but at the close prices were
again lower and heavy under further
realiza,ions by bulls and hammering by
