There is some abutement in the general ac- tivity of trade: and this will last probably till after election, when doubtless it will revive with renewed yigor. Cotton prints are, how- ever, active and prices are firm under a much reduced supply for the moment. Some tnferior designs are neglected and are offering low. Bleached sbirtings and sheetings are dull. Only the very highest qualities are firm, and these are in inadequate supply. Lower grades are in large stock, dull, and heavy. Brown sbirtings and sheetings are dull. and pric wenk, even at adecline. Stocks have increased. Drills are rather less active, but are steady in price. Ganton flannels are firm and in good demand for heavy goods, but not so for light weights. Stripes are in: ve. Denim: ty Ginghams are brisk and firm. Del Ines are Nery active, especially for the choice styles. Coburegs are in attractive demand and steady, wit good supply. Fine shawls of desirable especially two-colored plaids, are very . Cloths are inactive, except for very fine grades, and prices irreguiar. Cassimeres ae dull. Desirable styles of fancies alone want. ed. Prices very irregular. Flannels also are unsteady in prices with a limited demand. Blankets are dull and lower. The foreign goods market continues inactive, and goods are offering at lower Prices, except for the most desirable qualities. All inferior grades can be bought at a considerable conces- sion.

The auction sales exhibited diminished com- petition, and goods realized a very positive decline. Some portion of the offering of French goods was withdrawn, prices not being satis- factory.
