Dry GOODS.-The sales Of brown sheetings
Tor the week have been comparatively small.
tat prices have been steadily maintained, and
there are no variations to be noted in standard
makes since our last quotations. DenimS and
cottoRades are in good demand, both for export
and for home consumption. Prices are firm.
but without change. CottOnades are not in quite
so good demand, but prices are well maintained
for the best makes. In printing cloths sales are
to a fair extent, and prices are well maintained
The sales of prints have not been as large for
the week as had been anticipated. but prices
have undergone no revision, except in Dunnel's
light fancies, which have been reduced ha'f a
cent yard. The sales OF gInghams are large
for the season. There has been an improving
business done for the week in printed lawns
and percales OF good styles, and prices are
steady. Muslin de LANES are in small demand
and prices are merely nominal. Woolen fabrics
are in less active demand generally than they
were the previous week; but the sales of medium
and fine grades Of cloths have somewhat in
creased. In certain styles the demand Is fully
up to the supply in first hands. Overcoatings
are still in very fair demand. Doeskins are In
rather better demand; but the sales are mostly
restricted to the lower grades. The demand for
cassimeres. OF the lower grades, heavy weights
rs moder rately active; but IL hardly equal TO the
expectations Of the manufacturers. Prices are
without any material change. There is but
little doing as yet in the finer qualities adapted
to the early fall trade. Satinets OF desirable
grades are in rather better demand and prices
are well maintained; but there are no changes
to be noted IN quetations-N. Y. Independent
