| The regular fall trade In hrst hands iaNearly
over and the chief point OF interest now lies in the
future, TO which most eyes are directed, in busy
preps ration for the opening business Of another
season. The high price Of cotton, and the pre-
vous accumulation Of cotton fabrics have rendered
this portion Of the trade in domestic goods, now
closing, less lucrative than usual while similar
causes in woollens, added to the competition from
abroad have like wise limited the profits upon many
descriptions of them. The loss Ia trade, however
30 far as any has been experienced. has fallen
chiefly upon the importers and foreign manufac-
turers, whose goods during the last month have
been closed under the hammer of the auctioneer,
at serious decline from paying prices. The prin-
cipal cause OF this decline has been the competition
between the more regular importers and the job
bers the latter, instead Of buying their goods at
home OF the former, have in many cases gone
abroad for them, and thus created an irregular
sortment in this market, the surplus of which has
been chiefly closed at loss in the manner indi-
Gated The fall importations have been very heavy,
but have not increased rapidly ex ports,
we took occasion to show earlier in the month.
The present condition of the market in dry goods
will be found fully described IN our review the
first page OF this sheet but the regular inporta-
tons Tor the season are now concluded, we have
compiled from our weekly statement, furnished
from official sources, complete summary, first, of
the total receipts of dry goods at this port for the
month Of October just closed, compared with the
same period of the previous two years; and, sec
ondly of the total receipts since the let of July up
to which time our last extended report was made.
