decline in prices, but the trade has been 10
an extremely dull condition for many
months past. The millers have uniformly
lost money, from the fact that -four has
uniformly sold lower than wheat; and the
West is 30 crippled from heavy losses, that
with the present monetary facilities, she is
without the ability to reverse the current
which has 30 long been setting adversely.
Cheap bread, however, has tendency 10
mitigate the depression which rests upon
the country, and the extreme low prices
are therefore not without compromising in
tiuences.
OF the New York dry goods market
the Shipping and Commercial List of the
10th says:
The market for cotton goods continues
depressed, and the volume of the week g
business has been quite light, and at some
concessions in prices of most fabrics. As
the decline has been going on gradually
for some time past, while the raw material
has been subject to little depression, it fol-
lows that the manufacturing interest is de-
pressed, and there is doubtless more truth
than poetry in the allegation of wealthy
producer in Congress, that the small con-
Germs are being crushed cut by the larger
ones. 1t is not the manufacturers alone
who fell the depression; the dullness per-
meates all branches. The retailer feels it
in his small daily sales; the iobber feels il
in the dimished wants of the retailer, and
the wholesale agent and manufacturer
feels it in his reduced sales 10 the jobber.
What the upshot will be, it is difficult to
iofetell. If protracted much longer, how
ever, it may result in wide spread disas-
ter. Brown sheetings of best makes rule
from Is to 16 cents. and seconds 10 to 14l;
bleached sheaiings and shirtings, 20 cents
for such goods as Tuscaroa, l7@18 for
other leading makes, down TO 10@16 for
seconds. New York Mills and Wamsutta,

ces. Prints are again lower, leading
makes ll3@l2 cents, and seconds SOIL.
