Norvh Uarolina 6°, 7v bid Battrwore, June I= 45 bic Dry Goods. “The season,” acgording to the traditions o! ibe dry goods trade, is now over, aud the in- terval of dullness which has always followed ought now tocommence. Prices of domesti goods bave been wilting, but there is a pret general conviction that there will be a stiften- ing up before long, and that in cottons the price of the raw material, which ts believed to have reached “hard-pan,” will cause an advance, ‘There 1s no material change in pric=s to note. and the readiness with which large lots of cot- tons or woolens are taken when a tempting re- duction of rates is made gives evidence of great coufidence in the future. “The great abundance ut money at low rates of course is a strong in- tucement to speculative purchases; but. apart from that cause, there is a great confidence in a large and remunerative business in the fall. In brown sheetings and shirtings there have been larger transactions during the past week, both in heavy and lignt weights, thaw for some lume. In standard makes there is no change. Holders are quite confident of obtaining better prices, and. ate by nO means anxious to effect sales. The same conditions exist in bleached goods, and some of the favorite makes cell freely at full quotations. Medium qualities and lower grades are not so firm. lu other descriptions of cottons, with the exception of Canton flannels, which seem to be in better demand for speculative purposes, there is but little; and prices are without variation from last weeks’ quotations. Certain styles of light prints have been reduced nearly a cent a yard, and the stock ot spring styles is pretty Well closed out. Dark patterns ate not free- ty offered and maintain tu : are less active than they have beeh. Printed lawns of good styles are in steady demand, and sell readily at quotauonus. In muslin de laines there is & fair business doing, but the light 'yles are neglected. and the demand is chiefly tor plain alpacas. An woolens there is some improvement, both for heavy cloths and coatings, the demand com. ing principally trom the clothing manufac. turers. Fancy cassimers and satinets arein demand, and prices are lower. In flannels and blankets there is mere inquiry, and as the season advances prices will st up con- siderably. ‘The bad weather ot the past fortnight has had an unfertunate effect upon the market for foreign goods, and many importers haye lost an opportunity tor making sales which will not sccur again this year. ‘The auction sales of the week have been inconsiderable, and the im- portations have been yery light. Only very choice styles of goods for ‘summer wear have been in request. But prices have not under- goneany marked change—N. F. Iwlependent, ———~-<re-__ Mus. E. A. PoLitarD 1x 4 Brooktys Po- Lick Court.—E. A. Pollard, the well-known Southern historian, bas turned up under ca- rious circumstances. On Tuesday his wife, Mrs. Madelaide E. A. Pollard, appenren be- fore Justice Cornwell, at the Brooklyn City Hall, and prefered @ complaint against Mrs. Crotty and Miss Croity, bef daughier, residing Wang anberty street for assault and battery. | fore the magistrate she stated that Mr. Pollard left her about three weeks ago, since which time she bad been engaged in bunting him up; that she went to bis place of business in New York yesterday morning, when he ac companied her to his present residence, =i Cranberry street. When reaching the house some demonstrations were made which resultea in her being summarily ejected from the prem. ises, and used, as she stated, in a most ‘came, ful manner. Mr. Pollard uccompanied her before the justiee, and stated to the magistrate that she came to ae business in New York and threatened to shoot him. The jus- luce then asked her if she had a pistol, to which she replied she had not, 8nd, throwing her arms out, said, + 2 can search me.” she stated further that she had to pawn her diamonds and other jewelry to pa: be from an woman. She stated that she now resided in East Thir- teen street, New York.
