The dry goods trade,.and particularly the cotton division, ir gloomy, with further reductions is prices of staple goods this week, and demands failing to increase with the shading of quotations; but from every other department of business reports are cheerful and the outlook for a good spring retail turn-over is encouraging. "There is little difficulty over collec tions in anv direction and the mercantile demand dor money from numerous quarters is/^roof of the confidence felt among manufacturers and jobbers.

Transactions show a mistrial gain at the leading markets, while shipments from Boston exceed tho e of preceding weeks. ‘Tt was not possible to maintain the small recovery late last week in raw cotton, am. subsequent reaction established a new low record for the crop
