New York Dry Goods Market.

New YORK, May 13.-Domestic dry
goods Of all kinds Were dull to-day
The commission houses had very
limited demand for staple goods. On
most OF the grades, the rates are fairly
firm, but those classes influenced by the
price Of printing cloths feel the effect Of
tho decline. A decline Of 24c has taken
place in Pepperel brown and bleached
sheetings. Manchester, Amoskeag and
Freeman prints are less firm and are
quoted &c lower than last week. Cling.
hams are in very fair request. Wooden
and worsted buyers still hold of and few
winter orders are taken. Shawls are
fiat, and in hosiery, fancy makes are
principally wanted. Spool cotton of
every kind are brisk and the demand Is
fully greater than the supply.

The Alta California says: A CORE
spondent who has had experience in the
cultivation of coffee in Java, at an eleva-
ton Of 1000 feet above the sea, where
the banana would not bear fruit and
the sugar cane would not grow, and
where the climate is colder than on our
Southern coast, writes to US that he is
confident coffee plantation of 800
acres, we'll managed, would pay well in
California. He would send to the
mountains Of Java for the plants, at .
cost Of s., 600, set out 400 on an acre,
in timber land, so that the trees would
shade the young plants, cultivate them
three years at an expense of S35,0OO,
and in the third year harvest full crop
Of 5000 pounds per acre, worth for the
entire plantation 100000 or $4,000
He says that in Java where the Govern
ment, which owns most of the coffee
plantations, has allowed private indi-
viduals to go into the business, they have
made extraordinary profits.

At the last meeting of the Editorial
Association of New Jersey, resolution
was adopted requesting the Legislature
to deprive such State papers as used
what are known as Ready Printed
Sheets FROM all benefits resulting from
State advertising. Such bill was
drawn and presented to the Senate. 1t,
of course, elected much discussion, pro
and con, and has drawn out much per-
sonal as well as general severe newspaper
talk. The various committees which
have had the matter before them have
thoroughly considered it, and when the
bill came up, it was defeated by the al
most unanimous vote of IL to 2. The
same result may be expected in the
House.
Before the committee copies of New
Jersey papers priL ted entirely at home,
and those on the cooperative plan,
were carefully examined, and it was de-
cided that there was no call for such
bill, and no reasonable grounds for the
within of the Jersey Editorial Associa-
ton.

SENATOR SUMNER presented the following
resolutions in the Senate Friday morning;

ResotUed-First, that in the determination of
international differences, arbitration should be-
come substitute in reality as well as in name,
and therefore co-extensive with war in jurisdic-
ton so that any question or grievance which
might be the occasion of war or misunder-
standing between nations be considered by the
tribunal.
Resolved = Secondly, that any withdrawal
from treaty regarding arbitration or any re-
fusal to abide the judgment of an accepted tri-
bunal or any Interpretation of technicalities to
limit the proceedings, is to this extent dis
arrangement of the tribunal as substitute for
war and therefore hostile to civilization.
fesotued--Thirdly that the States haviug at
ne, the cause of peace everywhere and hop
ing to help its permanent establishment be-
tween nations, hereby recommend the adoption
OF aIpltIation as a just and practical method
TOR the discrimination of international difficult
f Hes 70 pe maintained sincerely and in good
1alth SO thaI war may not be regarded as a
proper trial between nations. 80

A GREELEY organ says that the past week
has not been at all favorable to that move
ment but hopes that the ratification meeting
on Monday evening will serve to rally the al
ready tagging interests. The meeting of
Monday evening willdo something to quick
en- the Pickering pulse of the patient, but it
will only be hectic flash that indicates speedy
dissolution. The Cochranes, the Genets, and
other Tammany chieftains will have their
forces well in hand, and the same crowd that
shouted for the destruction of the Tribune
Office in the summer riot of 1858 and carried
the torch of the assassin, will on Monday
night cheer the Cincinnati ticket and bear
their torches in honor of Mr. Greeley.

HE FINANCIAL Policy OF THE ADMINS
TRATIoN.-Congressman Hale, in short
speech Wednesday, gave careful and thorough
review OF the financial policy of the present adj
ministration and showing results at once sur
prising and satisfactory. Mr.. Hale included in
his computations the appropriation bills of the
present session, which are nearly enough COM
pleted to indicate that the expenditures for the
next fiscal year will be at least $12 O0O 900 less
than for the year ending on the LIST of next
July. The summing up of what has been &C.
complished during the past six years is as fol-
lows:
Reduction Of annual taxation. s3os. ono ooo
Reduction of annual expenditures ...... 22S
Reduction Of the principal of the national
Reduction of annual interest on the ma -
uohai uept. 20, 4S4 502
Among the incidents of this great result are
the reduction of the number of articles
and occupations subject to excise tax
from 2S5 to IS; the dismissal of 1884 internal
revenue officials, by which an annual saving of
over 100000 is effected, and the collection
last year of $S7 900 of revenue from spirits,
fermented liquors and tobacco, in place of less
than $34,000,000 in 1865. While all this has
been done, States have been lowering their in
debtedness and many municipalities have paid
them to the last dollar Mr. Hale concludes
that in view of the record there is no fear that
the American people are prepared to turn
their backs upon the great party through whose
administration of the government all these
blessings have come"
