Country dealers, espociilly from the West, are baying with greater freedom in private, and local jobbers are meshing cousideradle efforts to complete thelr araort- ments. This ection imparts a litt'e more life and steaii ress to the business; but, ass genesal thing, the trafic is quite heavy and unsatisfactory for this timo of the year. We do not saticipate any radical change in this respect during the fall months. Brown and bleached sheotings end shirtings, of choice make, are in fair re- quest, apd pretty firm. Other kinds are rather dull sad lower. Cotton flannels and jeans are freely purchased at stendy Ggures. Demins and drills sre brisker, yet not dearer, Duck and gioghams are saleable and steady, while lawns and nankinsare unchanged. Osnaburgsare inam- ple supply and moderate demand at previous rates. Print- | ing cloths are still very dal] and heavy, though not very plenty. Prints are notin much request, nor buoyantin price. Stripes and ticks attract more attention, and are tolerably firm. Woollen productions continue about the same, being in fair stock, and on the declin 6. ere Ox fats a limited inquiry only for blankets, cassimsres and regu clothsat heavy and nr prices. Doesikins are un- altered. Flanzels, jeane and Hoseys seem rather qaiet and languid. Muslin de laizes are less abundant, and are ip good request at woll sustained prises. Satinets are moderately dealt in at last week's quotations. The vantity in market is not so large. Shawls are selling dlowiy, but well. Twoods are dull and heavy.
