FORT WORTH. TEX. Feb. q. 1858.
Trade has been quite active to-day,
both with wholesalers and retailers, with
out presenting any remarkable features.
The Cotton World says: Prices Of the
principal articles of comm rec have
shown some decided change during the
week. Wheat and coru have gradually
sof .ened, the -four market sym
pathizlng slowly. bog products
have been very weak, snd there
are evidences of strong "bear" influence
being ct work. C nee has been very
weak, and prices have declined on the
strength of large crop estimates. Sugar
has ruled quiet at New York, and has
materially str, ngtnened in London. The
strength of the statistical position Is now
beginning to be felt, and further ad =
vances are looked for. Rice
has ruled quiet and steady.
Free importation of foreign goods
are checking the movement in the
domestic article, and allows lees frmneEs
to prices. Dry goods continue active
and prices are very firm, especially for
cotton goods, of which the stock is
unusually small The coal situation has
improved, the strike being now at an end.
The position is very strong, especially as
regards stocks. The iron trade presents
no new features.
