New York Dry Goods MARKET.

NEW York, May IL.
Dry goods apart from the decline Is
noticed already in heavy brown shifting.
There Is but little change observed in the
features Of the market. There Is q mod.
crate business doing only. in staple articles
at uniform rates, while fabrics Of per.
ishable nature have to bc sold as usual at
this season, at some concession, In order
to close the broken invoices. The most
noticeable features In the cotton goods
market, Is the approach Of print cloths to
the price Of prints and standard shcetings,
but tho former are entirely too high,
and cannot be sustained through any
long period, as II Is the result oil Il
speculation gotten up by rich printers In
order 10 advance the price Of printed
goods. That heavy sheetings nre low at
the annexed figures Is, however, unques.
tionable We quote India and Atlantic
A at 12c; Adriatic, Lyman L and Pacific
Extra, 11ic; Ozark, lie; Golden Ridge,
Ste. Sprague fancy prints are advanced
l0lallc. Rolled jaconets are extremely
scarce and prices flrmer s. Slater &
Sons plain colors are advanced to lie,
and high COlors to l2c, less per cent by
the package. The imports Of dry goods
at this port Tor this week loot up 81 ,7Oj,.
S46, while the quantity thrown upon the
market reaches $l,O05, 1l4.

LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
PRoMPT PAYMEST.-This Association
furnished evidence of its promptness in

The late Major W. T. Singleton had a
policy of $4,000 on his life in this Com.
pany, and yesterday, the full amount tn,
gether with $3.50, the earnings of the

the hands of J. W. Fcrrel, District Apep,
and that fact is guaranty that they will
be faithfully and carefully looked after
while policy holders and those contem.
plating insuring their lives will be most
literally dealth with.
or the promptness and responsibility of
the Association, If there was ever doubt
the payment of the policy above men,
