Boston Dry Goods Market.
FRIDAY, March 81.

The volume of trade the past week has not been
large with agents, as job bers have not distributed
the stocks which were purchased a week or two
ago, and with limited store accommodations now
at their command they are compelled to limit their
purchases to active distribution. The weather
continues unfavOrable for operations in the inter-
or, and many of the travelling statesmen have been
passable. There has been some near by trade yes.
terday and to-day, and there appears to be q very
confident feeling that as spring fairly
opens. business will be very active.
Brown Cottons have been sluggish, and the sales
have been limited to small lots Prices are quota.
the market is hardly so strong. The better quail.
ties of Bleached Cottons are firm and in fair de-
mand, but on low and medium grades prices are
not particularly strong.
Denims remains firm and the demand is sum
cent to absorb the production. Ticks sell little
less readily and mostly in small quantities.
Shifting Stripes continue IN fair request but
common Stripes are quiet. Corset Jeans are in
| good supply and the market is quiet.
Cambrics in select colors taken as the worL
OF the trade requires, and prices are without any
change.
! In Prints there has been only moderate bust
ness, and as yet but very little inquiry has been
| made for light grounds.
| Cotton Dress goods are selling very well, and
| there is also a fair demand for Ginghams.
| There is something doing in Woolens, and while
| the jsbbers buy sparingly the aggregate of sales
| OF medium and light Cassimeres TO this branch OF
the trade is quite encouraging. Clothiers are not
| purchasing freely, and the demand from tins
| source is more to piece up broken lots. Some sales
job lots have been closed out so that while there
| has not been any marked activity the market mas
been fully brisk could be expected under the
| existing circumstances.

unanimous vote passed the bill Of immediate

clares that the Republic of Spain will pre-
serve the integrity Of the Spanish dominions
and provides that the emancipated slaves OF

SENATE.
The Senate resumed the consideration of
the Caldwell case
Mr.. Ferry said when the charges were
made that senatorial election was procured
by bribery, it was the duty of the Senate, un.
der the constitutional clause that made the
Senate the Judge of elections and qualifica-
tons and returns of its members, to inquire
into the facts. The Senate wac a component
part of our government which was SO organ
lied that corruption could not exist without
destroying the liberties and prosperity of the
people. When rich men obtain seats here,
merely for personal glory, without regard
to the country. when great corporations
which are advancing with giant steps obtain
control, and when the state legislature has
become SO corrupt as to send unworthy men,
bers to this body, then will have been sapped
the foundation of all our hopes and republi-
can government be a sham, and the way pre-
pared for the rule of Tiberas or Napoleon.
Some time was spent in exchange Of views
as to fixing the order in which the pending
proposition shall be voted on, but no arrange
ment was made. No Senator rising to con-
tinue the debate, the closing speech devolyed
on Morton who said that he was not ready to-.
day, and moved that the Senate 20 into an
executive session, which was agreed upon.
Upon the conclusion of the executive SEES.
the Senate adjourned.
