The Dry Goods Market.

The commission nouses transacted but n verv
moderate business during the early part OF the
week, throughout which period prices OF both
cotton and wooden goods were nOmin ally steady
but on Saturday the entering wedge Of q break
in prices OF staple cotton goods was driven by
house representing some OF the best accounts iu
the market, and their example in reducing cur
rent rates was necessarily followed by agents of
other manufacturers having similar lines of
goods to offer. The immediate effect of reduc
prices was seen in a freer distribution of.mauy
staple fairies 20 the city iObbers, who have 80
long been holding alo0f from the market The
jObbing branches were quiet throughout the
week, although probably the gross distribution
effected exceeded that of the previous week
owing chiefly to the more liberal rec sipts of
orders from the interior. Despite the unusually
large amount Of goods forwarded to the west
early IN the season, that section is still forward
ing liberal orders for the renewal OF assortm ants
but there has been lately a less important de-
maud from the rear by states, owing probably
to the momentary paraly cation of the various
industrial interests and the non EN- ploy ment of
thousands of operatives.
IMPORTED FABRICS.
The market for imported fabrics has ruled
exceedingly quiet in private hands. The i'm
confined to the sale of small and generally I'M.
important parcels of colored and mourning
dress goods. and a few other specialties while
with the jobbeTs the trade mo vement was de-
cidedly slow and devoid of interest. Both
British and Continental dress fabrics were tsken
in moderate quantities by country retailers
but the city retail trade has been devoid of ami
nation, and the retailers operations have CON
seqnently been incOnsiderable in the aggregats
amount. Prices of dress fabrics are less firmly
maintained, ard in some instances are coasid
erably lower IN private hands, and have shown
marked decline in the auction rooms. Fine
makes or black mourning goods have been in
fair request for reduced quantities at steady
rates and black alpAcas, mOhair lustres aud
briliantines were taken according to the re-
ments OF the trade.-N. j. Bulletin.

one jim Roam, and the colored people on the

OF two well-known and pesceable colored men,

OFFICIAL EXPLANATIONS As TO THE PAY
MINT or silver Coin BY THE GOVERNMENT.
AS there appears to be some misapprehen.ion
on the part Of the public relative TO the purpose
OF the government in paying out silver coin an
explanation, prepared by the director of the
mint, has been published, with the approval Of
Secretary Richardson. IL is to the effect this I
owing to various causes in this and other couu-
tries silver has declined in value to a point at
which the government can purchase it with
gold manufacture II into small coin, and pay it
out at fair profit. The government has re-
Gently purchased quantity of silver bullion suf-
hcient for its purposes at one hundred pd twelve
ana half cents per standard ounce, and will
manufacture IL into coin at the d xed rate of a
hundred and twenty-four and four-tenths cent {
per oupce-the difference between the purchas
ing and issuing rate being within a fraction o
twelve cents per ounce, or about ten and hal
per cent. on the gold coin paid in the purchase
This operation is believed to be more profitable
one for the treasury, and also more advantage
ous 10 the public in the present condition of the
money market than the sale of gold for legal
tebder notes, and is not a scheme for the re-
sumption OF specie payments. but simply a COM
Pliance with mint law. The government has
