DRY GOODS.

An activity was observable in the dry goods
trade to-day, which demonstrates the magni-
tudo of the business transacted In the city in this
branch OF business larger number than usual
of country merchants were in the city, and deal
crs state their orders were never before so nu-
mCrouS and heavy Buyers, however, are
cautious and their selections of staples are
greater than in fancy goods Prints and blcached
cotton goods nrc active, as are light spring and
summer WOOlpns There has also been an in.
creased demand for notions. Made clothing, and
gentlemen's furnishing goods arc In good re-
quest There have also been some heavier buy
ers In the city during the past week, who have
heretofore made their purchases IN the north
and east, and on the whole, the dry goods bust
ness In Dallas this season is beyond precedent
and expectation
The latest from New York states that there Is
some irregularity in prices and in some instances
goods those that not particularly desirable, are
offered AT lower figures than they are quoted by
manufacturers, but the decreased production
by many of the leading custom mills, and tn.
prospect that existing labor troubles win induce
number of large establishments to close for
the present, Is likely 10 strengthen the tone of
me market ana there are substantial reasons
Tor thinking the prices of cotton fabrics have
already seen the bottom for the current season.
Boston dispatch says that cutting under
by western jobbers has been stopped by agents
refusing To sell to those who sell under the rogu-
lar price, and Il steady market seems to be as.
sured Buyers. however continue to dscrim-
lnate closely between popular and unpopular
fabrics, and goods that are not up to the mark
are neglected. especially wOrsted dress goods
for which calls are very few, and of which
there Is large stock on hand.
