Gorn dull ——_ore-__ Bry Geods. There was less excitement last week among dry goods dealers than during the week before: prices remain firm, and a fair business was traneacted, but the anxiety to purchase on the part of mnnwfacturers of domestics, were con- siderably modified. But the prices of the raw. material keeps up, and the market is uot over- stocked with .abrics; while the beavy purchas- ers irom the Wcst are yet to make their ap- peaiance. The prospect for an early and active spring business is therefore yery flattering. Prices of unbleached cotton are firmly main- tained, notwithstanding a falling off in the ac- tivity of the market. Many of the large lots sold at the cominencement of the serson remain, without change of hands, though they might be distributed at a handsome profit. The ac- tivity in bleacbed goods is well maintancd, and the demand for some of the best makes bave caused a still further advance in prices. New York Mills bring 27x cents, and Wamsut- tas 25, with the usual trage discount. Corset Jeens, apron checks, and stripes snd ticks sell more readily and at firmer prices. Denimsand cottonades are in steady demand. Prices firm. The wenesction in gray printing-cloths for the week have been on restricted scale, the high pricss of raw material checking operations: 4 ents is about the price of () standard quality. ‘The indications are iavorable to a good busi- ness in prints. Thestock in frst bands isnot Jar e, and the new styles which have been in- trounced are very attractive, and likely to secuse the fuvor of buyers. Spragae’s new tencies bring 14; cents, less the usual discount. Gingbams are in good demand. Prices firm. Printed lawns are not yet quite in season, but there is considerable demand for them. ‘The new styles of the PacificCompany bring 18 cents. Cambrics are in good demand :nd se!l freely. Rolled jaconets end silesias are in full sup mn in price in proportion to other kinds of cotton iabric=. Musiin de Isines are comparrtively duli. The arket is peorly over tur dark éftects, and the bt sping styles are not yet offered in fall ply. But there is no quotable change in Prices. Woollens are comparatively quiet. But in cloths ‘an improved demand: and prices are firmer, if not higher. The suppiy ot spring caesimeres in the market is fuller usual; d the assortment of styles is probably r, \d ofa better than ever before. low scale of prices has given considerable ac- tivity to the market. As the season advances the prices of these tabrics may be e: ted to rise. There is a better demand for Kentucky Jeans. but prices remam without OFFICIAL.
