DRY GOODS MARKET.

There Is not the activity In the dry goods market
that the advanced season would seem TO demand,
though there is movement enough 70 keep the mar
ket from stagnatlOn. Southern buyers are looking
about and making considerable purchases, and
Western dealers. Notwithstanding the high rates or
transportation are flliag up their stock to mode
rate extent. There is much complaint on all Sides
especially among those whe have to do with cotton
goods From the steadness Of the prices ana the
reduced condition Of stocks at the beginning OF the
month 1t was reasonable TO suppose that the
spring trade, though II might be somewhat
delayed, would be active. The heavy snow
storms had their erect In hinderlng travel and
transportation, and now, when 1t is the season for
the market to move freely, the high rates of freight
are causing more or less injury to the dry goods
business Of New York.
The D,D Goods Reporter says:-"The great Differ
ence IN freight does n0te in the fact thar rates are
fifteen cents q hundred less from Philadelphia to
Chicago than from New York to Chicago, but In the
inducements offered by the Union Star Line over
the New York lines tn making their charges to
agree with those OF the Baltimore and Ohio road.
They charge nominaly 81 65 per hundred, allowing
the consignor to credit fhirtyfve cents on the ship
per's invoices, which allowance is to be made
good by the Union Star Line. We have
seen kilograms from Chicago, from the lead
ing houses, directed to New York houses who
have an agency in Philadelphia, to ship their goods
from Philadelphia by the Union Star Line and they
win take care OF the rebate at Chicago. We have
also seen the report Of one OF the leading houses IN
the commission trade who made application to the
Union star Line In Philadelphia to their rates or
shipment. when the Union Star Line replied they
would ship at 81 S5 or 81 40 per hundred, or rates
equal to the Baltimore and Ohio road, the consgn-
ors make credit TO their customers but the buyers
70 snow nothing Of !ne arrsngement. The mat IN.
telllgcnce or this rebate came direct from buyers
who seem TO nave perfected their arrangements
directly with the Union Star Line, who seem to be
playing double game to obtain freight, yet which
