DRY GOODS.

THE dry goods trade to-day showed marked
activity, and the volume OF business done was
greater than that of any other day OF the sea
son. There were n goodly number of country
merchants in attendance, and the orders were
numerous and larger than usual. There was de-
mand for cotton goods and prints were i'll good
request. The notion trade was also heavy ana
sales were made to more distant points than
ever before from this city. Spring clothing was
very active and better qualities were selected
than last season. The refusal of houses III the
east and in st. Louis and Chicago to sell parties
in Texas and other southern states, who have
always heretofore made prompt payments, Is
having good effect on the wholesale trade OF
Dallas, and many parties are purchasing here
now who never did so before.
Reports from New York represent the market
less active and the demand and selections OF
moderate order In Boston the jobhing trade
has improved during the week, although IN
commission circles business has been rather
limited. Brown sheeting and shirtirfgs colored
cotton and the like, have been in strictly moder-
ate request from first hands, with prices quite
steadily held
