DOMESTIC DRY GOoDs-The orders
received from the interior by the morn
ng mails were quite satisfactory, and
tended to confirm the prevailing i'm
preston that stocks in the hands Of
both iobbers and retailers are much
smaller than usual. The general tone of
the market j. much better, and there j. II
growing confidence in an early resump.
tion of business activity.
Adyces from some of the manufaclur-
ing districts of New England and e,
peciallv along the course of the Black
stone river. represent no little anxiety
among manufacturers regarding the short
supply of water, which many ol them use
a. Il motive power. Some cotton mills
have already been compelled TO cease
production, owing to the lack OF water,
and unless rain comes to repleniSh the
nearly exhausted dams, Others will be
compelled to follow suit
The market for Cotton Goods display
tirmer tone on brown cottons, which
are held stifly by the. ..agcntS ut current
rates. Several leading brands of heavy
and fine brown sheetingS are held ''al
value for future delivery, and il will not
be surprising to find an early advance on

duction, and these are neither few nor
exceptional.

PRINTS are generally qaiet in frat
hands although few SpccialtieS, such u
the new Spraguc robe style 200, and n
