New York Dry Goods Market.
From the Commercial Bulletin, Dec. %.


Domestic DRY Goops.-The trade
movement to-day was exceedingly slow in
all departments of the trade. Many Of
the jobbers have already commenced
taking account of stock, and others are
preparing TO do SO, consequently their
purchases are restricted to such small lots
of goods as are needed for filling orders.
The market for cotton goods presents
no new features of Importance, and is
very quiet with both agents and jobbers.
There is, however, more inquiry for grain
bags, and within the last few days some
important lots have changed hands.
Heavy standard sheetings, also fine
browns, are in steady request for small
reassortments, and colored cottons, with
the exception Of denims move slowly.
PRINTS are quiet in first hands, with
the exception Of shirtings, which are
moving in moderate quantities. Most Of
the mills are beginning TO makeprepara.
tions for spring work, but the display
will not be general before the close of
January. There is still fairly sustain.
ed demand for chintz prints, aud the new
Arnold robes are exciting good deal Of
attention, but dark fsncies are moving
slowly at somewhat irregular prices.
GINGHAMs. Dark fancy ginghams are
less active, and their production is being
gradually decreased, most Of the mills
being now engaged on spring styles,
which promise 10 present unusual excel
lence of design, judging by the advance
patterns which We have seen.
CoTToN DRESS Goops.-The several
mills are getting ready their spring styles
of cotton dress fabrics and some of these,
in which stripes are formed of polished
thread, will be very effective, and pre-
sent silky appearance, which will n"
doubt render them popular as cheap
dress material.
WoOLES Goops, for mems wear, con-
tinue quiet although the agents are re
ceiving fair orders for worStcd coatingN
and cassimcrcS, and are making deliver
les Ia the clothing trade on account "i
former orders Medium qualities at
Kentucky jeans are in well sustained de-
mand, and some of the more popular
makes Of these goods are closely sold up
to production Satinots are sluggish,
and the current demand for rcpcllrnts II
restricted To low grades of blacks, blues
and dark mixtures.
NEW YORK, December 30.-Busincss
continues quiet with the commission
houses, although some important sales of
dcnims, &c., were made ut concessions,
and brown cottons for conversions wcr"
more inquired for. Prints quiet, except
Chintz styles and shirtings, for which
there was fair demand Grain hagS
continue in moderate requcst:and som"
makes closely sold up. Wo0Icn goods
remain quiet, and foreign goods dull.
