THE DRY GOoDs TRADE.-IFrom the New

tlnues moderately active, with an increase in
the demand on orders. Trade during the last
two weeks of October has been, contrary 20 ex-
pectations, more active than during the early
part OF the month, and jobbers generally report
their sales as being considerably i'm excess OF
those for the same period last year. This is e.
pecially the case with cottons and imported fab
rics suited to the current distribution as the
weather has been too warm TO create any impor-
tant inquiry for the heavier descriptions of
goods. Brown sheetings and shirtings are Job
bling in moderate amounts of all grades and the
aggregate sales continue fair for this period of
the season. Bleached sheetings and shirtingr DO
not meet very spirited sale, and a moderate ac-
cumulation Of stock h reported. Cotton drills
are in fair request, and the stock of all leading
makes Is well reduced. Rolled jaconets are
steady, buS quiet, and in liberal supply. Canton
hannels are not meeting very liberal sale at the
moment, but the stock of popular brands is
mall, and prices remain firm, with no quotable
changes TO record. Stripes and ticks remain
dull and are held at unchanged quotations
Prints have not sold very freely; prices have not
changed except on Manchesters. Cloths sell in
limited amounts ouly, and the supply is increas-
ing. Full prices are asked on popular makes
The demand for oyercoatings is a trifie better

The THANKSGIVING PROCLAIM.
TIONS.
Curious Action and Back-do wn Of GOV.
Hoffman.

Governor Hoffman, Of New York a few DAYS
since, issued his proclamation naming the 2Sd
day OF November for a day OF public thanks
giving. Yesterday he put forth another procla-
nation, reciting the issuing of the former, and
that "sfter the proclamation thereof, to wit. the
18th day of October, the President Of the United
States issued his proclamation designating the
Soth day of November as a day of thanksgiving
for the people Of the United States; and whereas
II is apparent that this designation OF two thanks
giving days near each other, both legal HOLIDAYS.
VIII lead to confusion, defeat the possibility OF a
general thanksgiving, and encourage conten-
ton, instead Of peace and good order, at a time
when in all social and all other gatherings the
people OF the State should forget their political
and other differences, and i'm perfect union. rem
der thanks to God for His mercies.,
We have obtained from the Department nj
State copies OF a correspondence between ,le
executive department of New York and tbe
Secretary Of State, which we give below.
lie appears that Governor Hoffman sougbt in
formation as TO the Presidents selection of a
day for Thanksgiving, and was advised by letter.
dated October 18th, that a proclamation naming
The 5Oth November would shortly be issued
Without further correspondence, and without
explanation, he proceeds 20 name the Esd Mo-
yomber, and now ostentatiously proclaims that
" II Is apparent that the designation of two
Thanksgiving days near each other win lead 70
confusion, defeat the possibility of a general
thanksgiving, and encourage contention instead
of peace and good order"
This looks like a very small trick for the GOV
ernOr Of a large State, to say nothing of the ap-
parent discourtcsy Of applying TO the President
for information, and then, without explanation,
anticipating his action by naming different day
from that which he knew was to be named by
the President
Adopting his osn language his action was cal
culated 1--WE trust it was not intended TO lead 10
confusion-to defeat the possibility of a general
Thanksgiving-to encourage contention instead
OF peace and good order.
