NashviIle DIV Goods Market.

The market during the week has been
fairly active, considering the season, and
collections are reported large and much
better than our merchants had anticipated.
There is no material change to note in the
market. Brown sheetings are very scarce,
and consequently firm. We notice the de-
parture of several of our leading jobbers
for the East during the week, and new
supplies will be rolling in during the next
fortnight. The opening of the spring trade
will be rather backward this season. OuI
merchants seemed disposed to hold back
in order to reduce stocks as much as pos
sible, and have succeeded to a considerable
extent, and will carry over this season 6
smaller stock than usual. As yet there
can be nothing said of the approaching
season with regard to prices, but the prob.
abilities are that there will be but little de
cline in staple goods CambEics are high
er by cent in the Eastern markets
Check ginghams are very scarce, and hard
y to be had for original price. Rib on
are somewhat lower. Spring dress goods
will be firm and probably higher. Prints
rule steady and will open at about the
present figure. But We are not disposed
to anticipate, preferring to await de
velopments. We quote the marke

Nashville Provision Market

The firmness of the week in this branch
of trade is fully up to the average Of the
season. The demand is still principally
for bulk meats, and although the ,tccks
are materially reduced, they are yet suffi-
GENTLY ample to meet the orders of the
Southern trade for sometime TO come.
The receipts of country bacon continues
very heavy, and Notwithstanding the lack
of shipping demand for this cure, cur
dealers are taking it up readily at full prices
and piling it way in their warehouses for
future trade.
The quantity of meat packed by our
farmers is generally estimated at nearly or
quite double that of last year, while the
quality and weight is far superior. With
the large excess of country stuff to come
into market, it is believed by some in The
trade that prices are now ruling too high
especially for joints, and must recede, as
the skipper season approaches, to such
figures as will afford the dealer q more
equitable remuneration for his lisk than
current rates now present.
The dsmand for lard in all the various
packages is good, and the stock of choice
grades is comparatively light.
