THE NEW DEPARTURE IN THE DRY
GOODS TRADE.

New York Evening Post.
1t is, considering the unprecedented
sales Of domestic goods at auction this
week (thsy having aggregated nearly
twenty-five thousand packages), to be
borne in mind that when these goods
we're made cotton was three (8) cents
per pound higher than it is now. At
the present cost of cotton these goods
can be proftably manufactured at the
prices which it is demonstrated nalmost
unlimited amount OF them will COM
mand when offered TO the country I'M
der circumstances most advantageous for
the buyers. The auction sales of this
week therefor not merely make bottom
for the market and quicken business, but
give encouragement to the capital as well
as the labor so extensively employed in
cotton manufactures. The great success
of these auction sales raises the question
whether the methods which have SO long
been in use by manufacturers for the
distribution of their goods cannot be
improved by regularly holding trade
sales through the auction houses at stated
times during the year. The engine
trade of the country is represented at
these sales, and the goods pass directly
(and in amounts which 80 distribute
credits az TO make them as near safe as
possible) into the hands of dealers who
have a place for the goods, who know
their home market thoroughly and the
wants Of il. With the auction method
of distribution there is no congestion Of
goods, and, as said, credits are distrib-
uted. These sales Of domestics are ex-
oeptional, the great bulk Of auction sales
being Of imported fabrics, It is safe to
say that one-ffth and possibly one-fourth
Of all the foreign dry goods imported
this year have been sold through the
auction rooms, which fact, as we'll as the
sales of domestica this week, shows to
our manufacturers the efficiency OF the
auction system as a means Of distributing
merchandise.

precisely popular dog, but he is never
theless admitted TO the best circles of So
ciety, and has, in too many instances, en-
shared the affections of the young and

acter is to infict pain on those who cali
themselves his friends, but the interests
Of the community sternly demand that
thisunwelcOmed duty should be performed.
He Is a tireless and shameless thief. He
Ia devoid Of affection. He is treacherous.
He snaps at his best friends. These are
slight charges, however, in comparison
with the one that follows. The Spite is

fact" says the Times, "that three

which have occurred in this city or its
vicinity during the last few years have
been directly traceable to rabid Spite

greater, for the statistics have not been

The Minneapolis Tribune publishes
the following facts from Israel Halves,
Just arrived from the Black Hills. He
Corroborates. the statements Of the Tue
mors in regard to the Indian scalping
stories, and adds that they are not half
so startling as the facts. He helped
bury persons killed by the Indians every
day. The bodies of those murdered are
always found with six bullet holes and
six knife stabs in them, besides loss of
scalp, which they take off by cutting the
head open in shape of the letter V, from
the back of the head down to the eyes,
which presents a heaIt-sickening sight
He had some narrow escapes. One par
ty of them went out and were attacked
by the redskins, but they were such
poor shots that no harm was done. The
Indians are as thick as flies around
molasses keg. Every party that at
tempts to leave or enter the Hills are
attacked, and more or less fall victims
to these devils in human form. One
party of twenty-five attempted to escape,
and only one lived to tell the story of
how they were bUtchered and sCalped.
More parties are leaving every day than
arrive in a week; there are some five
thousand men in the Hills, among
whom there are probably fifty that are
making twenty dollars per day, to one
thousand who make a dollar. One party
of eight men got their sluice going at
noon and worked till shutdown, and
their total earnings were fifteen cents.
There were sixty-throe men in his party
that went into the Hills; seven men will
never return, and four men were lost
coming out. None of his party returned
with enough to pay their expenses. The
cities that were the glory of the Hills in
the start are as dead as though they had
never existed. The best claims are along
Rapid creek and Deadwood. The best
claims were taken previous to January.
There are only two paying claims on
Rapid creek one of these turns out
about two dollars and half each day
per man, and the other about three dol
lars per man. Claims were sold in Dead
wood previous to January for four thou
sand five hundred dollars.

New York World, May %.
The current month Of May, 1876, will
probably 90 into history as a period in
which extraordinary depression Of prices
prevailed in cotton and cotton goods; and
the past week is notable, perhaps, for the
elimination OF adverse influences, under
which it is generally anticipated bottom
prices have been reached. Cotton has
declined to III cents per pound for mid
ding uplands. This is the lowest price
since December 2s, 1860, when the cur
rent quotation was liz cents. 1t was
down to ten cents under the influence of
the largest crop ever grown in the United
States; but began to advance in DeceIf-
Der, when the secession movement began
to assume a serious aspect. 1t is cir
cumstance not a little peculiar, that
while cotton has been rapidly declining,

date in recent years. The annexed is a

The discrepancy between stocks and
prices is ascribed mainly to the unsatis-
factory state of trade in cotton goods
It is asserted that the quantity of goods
piled up unsold in the hands of manu-
facturers is so great as to much more
than compensate for the decrease in the
visible supply of the raw material. The
auction sales of this week, and the low
prices at which goods were there sold
(the lowest known in the history Of the
trade) would seem to demonstrate the
truth of the assertion respecting the large
stock of goods on hand. Printing cloths
have latterly been selling at 80 cents per
yard. The lowest price in twenty-five
years, from September, 1847, was in No
vember and December, 1848, and that
was 81 cents. Ten years ago the price
was 81 cents, and twenty years ago 6
cents. Probably nothing could better
illustrate the depressed state Of trade ia
clothing fabrics than this comparison.
