crop will be three million bales, or anything like it. In
1867 it was inside of two millions. The breadth planted
this year in the majority of States was even less. The
_ _ _

yield per acre will undoubtedly be better, but not enough
so Co account for the difference tetween two millions and
three. We believe 2,700,000 bales to be the outside
figures, and that in fact 2,500,000 will be as much as can
be realized.

The dry goods market, the past week, has been mode-
rately active for thtseason. In no department is the de-
mand as yet sufficient to make quotations interesting or
valuable. It is clear that there is to be a good fall trade,
and that dealers will have an opportunity to revenge
themselves for the scanty sales of the spring. Business is
likely to be active enough to give the retailer his profits
on goods which he can turn quickly, but the condition
of the great staples is melt as to make manufacturing
more uncertain than ever, and prices are so precarious as
to make it extremely undesirable to hold large stocks of
goods. Wool still rules low, but the indications are
rather towards a rise. On its own merits alone it
has probably touched the bottom, and present prices en-
courage buying. There is an increased activity among
the manufacturers, and woollen goods generally are a

trifle higher. Boston reports the boat ani slice trade
very active and large, shipments being made west and
south. In provisions the market has been st9ady, with
little doing. In breadstuffs there is little tiSnote. Choice
brands of flour have bettered themselves a little during

the week; but the lower giades are dull and depressed.
Ryo flour and corn meal have made a slight advance.
Oats aro higher, with unfavourable advicos from the
coming crops ; barley dull under the promise of a large
yield.

NEW Yonx, Friday Evening, July 31.

Money continues very easy, and borrowers, on call, are
steadily supplied at 3 to 4 per cent. on railroad collaterals,
and at 3 per cent. on Governments.

Discounts are active for first-class names, at 6 per cent.
for 60 to 90 days' paper; at 6j per cent. for four months,
and at 61 to 7 per cent. for six months.
Government Stocks aro heavy, principally in conse-
quence of the weakness of the London market, and have
declined to-day I per cent.

Gold is very excited, and opened this morning at 145 k,
thence falling to 144-:, rising to 145}, and finally closing
at 144 i.
American silver is selling moderately at Of to 7 cents
below the price of gold. Mexican dollars are mostly
nominal, at 1031 to 104} in gold.

Foreign Exchange is very dull, and there is little
doing. The failure of the old-established Exchange
firm of Abraham Bell's Sons has not excited the
slightest surprise, those knowing the outside opera-
tions of the house calculating to a certainty their down-
fall. This failure should be a warning, and we trust that
it will so prove.

The Border State Bonds are being pressed on tho
market in heavy amounts, and there is almost a panic to
sell.

Mining Stocks are very flat, and there is little doing,
except in New York (of Colorado), tho price of which,
after having advanced to $1 20, has receded to $1 10.
Petroleum Stocks are in good.demand, and many stocko
are daily inquired for, which have not been mentioned
during the past throo years.
