WALL STREET.
Nxw YoRE, Dec. 15.-The panlcky state Of the
a,ock market and the delicate conltuon Of Affairs
generally In Wall street are the chief matters OF
conversation In commercial circles, and the COM
Ing week Is looked forward to with anxiety. Ru-
uaots Of failures Of large houses and OF one Of the
truas companies add to TIC prevailing disquiet
There are at present no favorable features On the
Stock Exchange, and the natural downward
couFse Of prices becomes apparent whenever the
cliQues stop buying. The public are not dealing
on the Stock Exchange. and until theJ do there
eau be no permanent rally in the prices Of stocks.
The popular opinion among capitalists, money
higher than their real market ralae II freed
from Clique maulpul2uous.
DIRT GOODS.
They dEy goods trade is now chtdy on orders
from the Scuth and West, very few buyers being
tn the market, and the demand from city dealers
remaining nominal. Notwithstanding the deprcss-
ing influences Of declining cotton market upon
trade tn the South, dealers In that section are Of
dettng considerable amounts Of seasouable AMI
staple goods This Indicates more active trade
in the Southern States than has been reported.
The trade In foreign fabrics remains qule. ,rans-
actions being merely nominal Dress goods are
dull and values afe nominal, except on the most
staple fabrics. Business remains quiet, but the
prospects for early opening OF the spring trade
are sald 10 he very favorable.
n0FFXAS WITHDRAWN.
An important article has appeared IN the New
York Leader, the organ Of TammkuJ, announcing
the withdrawal Of John T. Hoffman Is 1 cAndt-
date for the Presidency. The writer, supposed to
be Mt, Peter B. Sweeney, admits the right OF the
Vest 10 the nomination, and presnnes that u Nj.
uendrtcxs, Of 1ui!ana, Is generally acceptable to
all sections, he Ia likely to be the man. The ar
uc1e, though exciting general surprise, Is believed
here to be part OF one Of TammsnIs
little games. The Tamuany lcaders under
stand the danger Of pressing Holman forward
pfemaiu1ei5, and prefer that his most formidable
r1ya1 shall receive the Kicks aud cuna which Will
surely be Waited uron the expected candidate of
that party In advance OF tue nominauon Ho6-
man Is, therefore, to be kept IN the background
until uendslcks Il killed OF. Some Of the Southern
politicians in the city talk favoraby Of ucker COM
posed Of Hendricks for rresideut, and q Southern
man perhaps Herschel v johnson, Of GeorEtat for
Vice President. The litter ran with Donglaa has
strong Union record, and Is believed TO be &C.
ceptaolc to the Northern Democracy.
