DRY GOODS,

The Commercial Bulletin OF that city
states that the importations of dry goods
into the port of New York for the first quar-.
ter oil the calendar year, compared with the
same period of 1872, show important
changes in the movements of the same from
the principal countries whence they come.
VI course, some allowance must be made
Tor higher prices that prevailed in the year
~. 1T appears" says the Bulletin,
that only little more than ten years ago
england sent us considerably more of our
foreign silk-piece goodstha France. but that
IN late years the quantities sent from Eng
land were insignificant, while those from
France have largely increased. Silks from
Germany have also greatly declined. There
Is very much the same showing in dress
goods. In 1877 the great bulk ofdress goods
came from England, but lately the bulk has
come from France. The impOrtations from
England have declined for the period of
three months from near 5000 600 to ST.
100000 Those from France have increased
iour-fold, and those from Germany have
more than doubled. The importatlons of
wooden cloths from those countries
have also undergone similar changes,
though not so great. The importations from
england are about one-third less than In
iS'2, ~ represented by values, and those
w HVi Ntit. ltSS, Wullt tIlOSt
from france have decreased from So, 703 to
$6Ol ,0U. This change In the currents of
our dry-goods importations is due to the
layor accorded by fashion to the soft finish
OF the French fabrics and the growing pre-
ference Tor pure, unmixed GOODS
