The fall trade in dry goods still hangs back, unite'
countably, one would say—only that it is very easY to ac-
count for it. It is becoming more and more evident every
day that the Presidential election is creating a far greater
influence this year than usual, disturbing the calculations
of business and postponing, even, the natural demand for
consumption. The phrase "after election" in becoming
almost a universal expression, and is a tribute to the con-
viction of the people that the gravest consequences to
the peace and prosperity of the country are likely to fold
low the political choices of the people in November, and
oven at the prolitnivary elections in October. The
general attitude is that of expectation, and it is one tbn",
is likely to be maintained for the present. The entire
uncertainty in regard to the price of cotton, and the
actual product in that crop for the year, is contribut-
ing largely to delay purchases, and creates a disposi-
tion to wait for developments. Of printing cloths the
Providence Journal says —" At the present price of cotton
and print cloth the manufacturers are losing moneY• Some
of the manufacturers of print cloths have stopped their
mills; others are running two-thirds time." Just at the
close, however, cotton is higher and strong at the ad,'
vanco. This will stiffen the price of the manufacturo
goods, which have heretofore manifested a tendeneY to
keep above the raw material. As a decline in prices hag
failed to increase sales, it may be well enough to try the
effect of an advance. It is alleged by some that the de-
cline in gold is helping to disturb the market for domestic,
fabrics, but this is so contrary to the recent course °`
things that, in the absence of any manifest coanection
between the two, we should prefer to attribute the 001 t
to other and more apparent causes. It has, howeTer'
quickened the trade in foreign goods of the higher classes'
these being directly affected by the premium on O.
Breadstuffs tend irresistibly downward, the fall being
most marked in new spring wheat extras, which are
nearly a dollar a barrel. This movement has been again::
strong opposition, Western holders, who, early int"ci
season, took every decline with surprising placidity an
meekness, being more strongly set in preventing al
further fall, and doing their best to keep the grain from;
going forward. Provisions are dull and lower, as altnes„
every article, mess pork particularly, has been sold at;
heavy concession, even from the lower prices of the woe
Coal made a sharp and decided advance during the Wee
of from 75 cents to $1.50 a toil at wholesale, which at re,
tail will soon become $2 to $3. Those are fortunate Wil°
bought last week.
