job6ing houses in cotton goods have con.
cluded to advance prices on leading arti-
Giles from ! TO lC, and on wide sheetings

side they have entered into n contract
with all jobbers that there shall be no
cutting OF prices henceforth from the
regular rates established monthly or semi.
monthly by them, on penalty Of $1,000.

lar throughout the season. There is a
general hardening of prices, although

probably attempt to fix higher prices on
all staple articles. WOolcns and silks are
