Commercial Bulletin.I
The activity of the jobbing trade in this city
and at many distributing points in the in
cotton goods and calicoes at first hands and
wide prints, ginghams, laws, piques, dress
goods and other spring and summer fabrics
The tone of the general market is very strong,
and there are symptoms of a still further ad-
vance on certain makes OF cotton goods
prints, etc The Jobbing trade progresses very
satisfactorily, and stocks are being reduced so
rapidly that some of the largest firms have
been compelled TO resort TO the commission
houses for fresh supplies, Notwithstanding the
unusually large purchases made IN the early
part OF the season.
COTTON G0oDS.-There has been somewhat
better demand for plain anu colored cottons at
first hands, and further large distribution of
brown, beached, colored and fancy cottons
was effected by jobbers. Prices remain very
firm on all makes of cotton goods, and low
grade brown and bleached cottons have shown
an upward tendency, some makes having al
ready been marked up by agents. rhe follow
Ing goods have been advanced;
agents hands. and The iobbine fIads has hee IN
faily active. Light and medium fancy and
side -band pIintS are In better request and
movipg freely, as are solid blacks and c9Iors.
Prices OF all prints are very firm, with a ten
dency toward higher figures, and agents
stocks of really desirable fancy prints are
much smaller than usual at this stage of the
season. The following calicoes have been ad-
vanced: Knickerbocker shifting, 7%c; Amer
can shirtings, 7%c; Sprague's fancies, TIC.
Printed lawns, piques, etc, continue in GOOD
demand by package buyers, and jobbers re-
port steadily increasing inquiry for fabrics
of this class. Stocks are well in hand, and
prices firm at the last advance.
GINGHAMs.-There has been a liberal move
ment in dress styles on account of orders on
record, and the current demand for these
goods, as well as fancies and staple checks,
continues satisfactory.
DRESS GOODS -Worsted dress goods have
been in steady request, and purchases lat first
hands,, though mostly restricted to relatively
small parcels, footed up an important aggre-
gate amount. Cotton dress goods have also
been in good request, and most popular makes
are largely sold 10 arrive.
