ties of textile goods. and the distribution IS at
tended with many dTf5culties, and is, unusually
sluggish, notwithstanding the fact that prices
are considerably lower in nearly all grades than
last year. Less cotton goods were sold last week
than for the corresponding week last year. What
ever activity there is is confined to specialties
Holders OF bleached sheetings and shirtings re-
fuse to force sales or to make any further shad-
ing in prices Brown sheetings and shirt
1ngs are substantially in the same con-
dition. Best brands of ginghams continue
in very active request. especially the styles
adapted for the fall which are easily sold. be-
cause of their attraetiveness Woven and hight
colored prints in cheviots are moving very SLOW
ly, but dark shades are active. Fancy tickings
are selling well Stocks in print cloths are

trade is going on by way of duplication, espe-
cialy in indigo blues foulards and eretonnes'

1.-THE tamest day of the week covers the local
market for Saturday. The Board Of Trade Price
Current says of wheat; Week closes with not
much satisfaction to seaboard shippers, consider
ing the relative prices of local and Eastern
points. We note Improvement in exports, yet
foreign demand is not sufficient to check the
rapid increase Of the visible supply. Local
markets steady; fair demand for cash offerings.
Sellers few, in consequence of light arrivals of
gradable stock. New York 4c higher; Baltimore
steady, and Chicago &c higher than yesterday.
