THE DRY GOODS TRADE.

| New York Journal Of Commerce, Jan. 81
The trade for the week has not been large,
but dull season was to be expected so soon
| after the holidays. Nevertheless, a fair
amount of goods has changed hands, and
inquiry is being stimulated, especially towards
cotton goods and spring styles Of cassimeres.
The present aspect of the cotton market GER
| tainly does not indicate that any further de-
cline is likely to take place at present in the
price of goods manufactured from that staple
If, as the manufacturers almost unanimously
assert. the rates prevailing now yield no profit
and rarely cover expenses. However that
may be, there seemed to be an improved tone
in the market and better feeling existing as
the week drew to its close. The demand for
spring styles Of cassimeres has been larger
thanswas expected so early in the season, and
augurs well for a good spring trade. Other
wooden goods are dull of SALE We are not
aware that any department of domestic dry
goods is overstocked, aud if an active demand
should arise the market would soon be in
condition to test the capacity of the pro-
ducers.
The market for all kinds of foreign goods
remains very dull Linens are especially
slow of sale, and importers are Offering them
at prices considerably below what were OBJ
tanned short time ago. Woolens and silk
goods are also dull, but the importers hope for
better fortune as the season advance.

RECALL SHERIDAN.
New York Journal of ConK1erce. I

CtsI
Evei, Il any part of his brutal TRADE were
true, there was no occasion whatever that he
should solicit the privifsfe of killing the
White Leaguers in cold blood. This is what
he means when he Hgs that these men may
be outlawed or declared banditti by act Of
Congress. EweA in the height of the war,
when there was iced of stern measures, such
demerd, coached in such language, would
have been deemed blood-thirsty. How infn-
itely more ,.trocious it seems now, at period
OF prof6and peace.
Wea.sk for this coarse, insolent man, and
for 'E.oss who sustain him at Washington, the
Hs.m, honest judgment of the American peo-
t,le. Andwe look to Congress majority
of its members are not vet quite lost to all
selfrespect-to demand by vote that Gen.
Sheridan shall be recalled from the position
which he has disgraced.
He has shown himself by his vicious tenn
per and bis reckless Justification totally unit
10 command in place where self-poise and
prudence are imperatively required. Con-
gress owes this act Of justice, not only to the
country, but to its own sense Of honor for
nothing could be more insulting to Congress
sional authority than this .audacious effort to
head off the work of committee expressly
appointed to report upon Louisiana affairs,
and to fill the public ear with falsehoods by
which it is sought to justify the outrages on
free government already perpetrated in New
Orleans, or in contemplation there.
