eastern goods. The receipts of flour and grain at the
lake ports has at last fairly exceeded those of 1866, on
which they leave been gaining every week since the harvest
began. The yield is incontestably larger than for years,
and immense quantities are waiting in store for lower
prices to go abroad. In flour the decline for the week has
averaged 25 cents per barrel. The dry goods market has
shown very great activity during the week, and buyer'
and sellers have seemed to get together better than be-
fore. The trade in cottons has improved in a marked de-
gree, and the work of the season has at last begun. Wool
and woollens are in fair demand, without change of prices.
Tho manufacturers are doing a.satisfactory business. The
whole lino of imported goods has been deranged by the
fall in gold. In foreign dry goods, particularly, where,
importation has been considerably overdone, there has
been a considerable decline in prices, with a restricted

demand.
Cotton is coming forward with increasing rapidity, Oa
in still larger. quantities. Already the receipts at NO
York since the opening of the cotton year (Sept. 1) have
b:en 90 per cent. greater than for the same period
year; while the ship rents direceto European' ports from
3i rbil~, CLarleston, and New Orleans are on the inereve•
Much of this grin is undeab'edly owing to the desire of
the planters to realize the highest prices for their 1)1'0'1'11
before the amount of the crop should be fully ascertains"
and the consequent decline should take place in values.
Much, also, to their desire to buy early at New Y°6(',
which they have not been able to do this season wit"'
the cash in hand These causes have co:nbined to hurry,
forward the crop with unusual promptitud ; but there is
still something duo to the success which has attended the
planting of the crop this year and the fortunate circum-
stances under which it has been gathered.
The banks are letting out their money freely again, ail
the last weekly statements show a decided increase °'
loans. The conditiCa of trade over the country is better.
The Western movements in grain continue upon a large
scale, and indicate that the highest estimates have n°l'
exaggerated the yield of the crops, Barley and oats ars
higher, the former 20 to 25c better than last week, any
still much excited; the latter easy, at an advance of
to 6 cents. Wool is active and higher, and the dernand
from the manufacturers continues: to increase. d Cotton
is again weaker and declining. The irregularity o
uncertainty of this staple does more than anything
else to hold off the fall trade, unsettling prices, and
postponing the normal demand. The boot and 51103
`ra to is more active than any other branch of busi-
The Boston papers report the shipments for the
east week to be larger than ever before in a single week at
this season in the whole history of the trade.
The assistant-treasurer at New York began his first
public sales of gold on Wednesday ; $300,000 was offered;
and bids were received to the amount of $3,300,000, berm
from 19 different parties and within a range of 136 to 131
Fiske and Hatch were awarded $lOO,OOO at 1361, an
$200,000 was sold to A. Rodowald at 136 8-10. The stun°
amount will be sold, as per advertisement, for each of te
days, making three millions in all. What then ? This
making up a programme for ten days does not amount t°
much. It will make a great deal of difference with the
value of gold, whether the Treasurer goes on sellingat tbl,,
rate, or at a larger rate, after the ten days are up, or otop,
then.-,This is what operators and importers want to Itr.°"r:
The Treasurer should act on a system by which the bush
'fess community could calculate on what is to be done with
the Government surplus. The bankers at New Yell" ar°
generally expecting a renewal c 4 specie exports.
New York, Thursday Evening.—Money was fairly ac:
tive, but easy at 6 to 7 per cent. on call ; sterling exchangan
firm at 1092 to 1091. Gold opened firm at 1371, advance
to 1381, and closed at 1371,. The bids at the sub-treasnrolo
aggregated $4,260,000 at 1364 to 137 88-100, and $301:),L
was sold at the latter figure. Governments were acts
and higher. State bonds were active, but irregular, en
closed weak. Railways opened excited, with large trauti
actions and an advance of 1 to 2 per cent., which was l°s„
in the afternoon under the unauthenticated rumour of
issue of 20,000 new shares of Erie, carrying the pace 1i
that stock from 51. to 48, and causing the market to 1
through Out the list. The market closed steady, with„o
partial recovery from the lowest point. Miscellaneous
shares were strong.
