Let us know what per cent. of the results are correct. After a few trials like this, juries need not be left in the doubt which perplexed that of last week"

NEW YORK DRY GOODS MARKEr,-There
was scarcely any improvement in the dem aud
for domestic goods during the week under re-
view, and the aggregate distribution was much
below the expectations of holders. The promi-
nent feature of interest has been the break in
the prices of sheetings and shirtings of grades
over supply, as might be supposed from the &C
ton OF the manufacturers' agents and jObbers.
There can be little doubt, however, that even
at the present rates goods can be produced SO
as to leave fair margin of profit to the manu-
facturer. The effect of the reduced prices for
sheetings and shirtings has not yet been felt by
the market to any material extent, although
some stimulation has been given to goods which
were decidedly sluggish before the reduction.
There was one failure in the important trade
during the week, and it is only wonderful that
IRENE depression of the trade is considered
