NEW YORK MARKET.
NEW YORK. Jan. 10, 1871.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 1871.
The dry goods trade - daily getting more ex-
cited. The crisis had not passed when the
other day. the leading jobbers combined, under
penalty Of S5, 900 each, not to ''cut" prices,
etc. Now. prices are being advanced rapidly,
on the strength Of tina. 'union" and the ques-
I ton to be decided is, will buyers ell over the
country meelly submit to ''union" prices, or
will they seek jobbers not in the union, and get
the best terms they can? There was no doubt
some corrective needed for ''cutting, +" but with
raw cotton on the decline and labor not ad-
vancing. and trade dull, il is not 80 easy TO see
the reason why an advance OF 10 per cent on
fabrics would take place. II retailers will buy
only as they actually need, the abuses which
the combination are likely to make Of their
power will be lessened. Since the date OF last
letter. iron, raw and manufactured, has ad-
vanced materially. Breadstufs quiet, White

DETROIT MARKET.
DETROIT, Jan. II, 1872.
The past has been q quiet week, considered
from business standpoint. The absence OF
snow is quite draw back, for there is nothing
that facilitates trade like seasonable weather.
The outlook, however, is flattering. IL lumber
dealers and builders are not far astray in their
guesses, 1872 is to be busy season in their
respective lines. Lumber has been steady in
pnce since the close OF navigation. That prices
have not advanced is attributed TO the early
etart which the men III the pineries obtained
and the extraordinary, and to considerable
degree successful, efforts making to got out
large crop OF logs. In live stock we have had
an irregular week; cattle were plenty, but the
prices unsatisfactory to sellers. Butchers
