The following is an extract from an adnress
BY the commissioner OF agriculture for South
Carolina: ''The recent advance has saved the

The following letter from Texas shows what
Is on In the southern portion of that state;

Is right. Owing to the Mexican unrest, there
are thousands Of Mexicans distributed over
south Texas, and all are clearing and break

Indications are for unsettled weather for the
next two days. Our market lost 10 20 nts our

decline. Fear OF renewed bulish conrol by
New York prevented greater pressure.
Spots ar quieter, but prices steady.

DRY GOODS REVIEW
NEW YORK Feb. I2.-There has been a
much more active trade in cotton goods In
| the past week or ten days and prices are ris
ing. The sharp and sustained advance In cot
ton has led to greater confidence in the values
OF goods among retailers and the manufactur
I
normal requirements for 90 days ahead Brown
and bleached cottons &c yard higher
Denims are closely sold for four months and
prices are firm. Discounts have been further
/ shortened on duck and wide duck Is now
/ quoted at IS off the list for prompt delivery.
i Fall River sold $4,000 pieces Of print cloths
last week, of which 100000 we're for future
delivery. There have been sales Of about
/ 1000 bales OF drills for India shipment and
about 5000 bales OF Canton flanneIs for China
shipment. Miscellaneous export trade continues
steady. Prints and staple ginghams are IN
steady demand. There has been some improve
ment in fine eOttons and buyers Of fancy
cotton and wash fabrics are beginning to oper-
ate more freely Cotton yarns are higher and
flrmer with the inquiry from users showing
broadening tendency.
Jobbers have been doing a seasonable trade
at a small margin Of profit. Retailers are
ordering many different lines of goods and
are paying more attention to staple domestic
than for some months past. Popular brands Of
sheets and pillow cases have ben placed at
value. Should the cotton market hold its
cent gains for time merchants believe that
prices for goods win rise TO a point where
mills make a profit ON operations.
