this, in the continued absence OF demand, as
there Is now little or no country trade, tends
70 repress the feeling Of buoyancy which was

tnue previous quotations, as there are still

inquiry, as usual at this season is extremely

The Dry Goods Reporter of the 18th ult. says:
The dry goods market for the week under
review has been much more active than was
expected would be the case, and the demand
which has been principally nom first hands,
has shoWn that buyers are alive 10 the TACT
that higher prices arc likely 70 rule on general
stock, particularly Of wooden goods. From
lObers there has been a fair demand, 10 a
package way, for staple cottons, but apart
rom this the demand has been very quiet.
The market for cotton goods has been quite
active, and with agents there is actually moth
ing In stock, white prices are ususually firm
we consider the general quiet that had
prevailed for some weeks up TO the beginning
OF this month.
IA business il the hosiery department has
been Of a very triding amount, and operations
confined 70 necessities, ana even these have
In goods suitable for the spring trade there
has been but little doing in the way Of orders,
as the bulk OF them are already placed by the
large trade, especially for cotton hose, for
which the same are quite large.
The inquiry for wooden goods which we
mention OF in our last as beiug quite
free, has this week partaken OF some action,
and the wooden goods market has been far
more active in the demand than the most
sauguine had any reason to expect for the last
week in the year, ana a much larger amount
Of sales has resulted than was supposed would
occur.
