The New York Courier of Saturday, says:-sThe
importations of Foreign Dry Goods continue very
large. and we think are beyond the actual demands
othe Market both for the city and the country rsde
The results an advance in the rates for sterling
bills and long series of failures in the trade These
unavoidable accomplishments Of over-tradine.-
The Custom House tables show increase of goods
tie market hundred and fifty per cent beyond
those of the corresponding week of 1855. In Wool
len Goods, the importatons are almost i've hundred
per cent. beyond 1856, hen Tariff could readily
be modified, as to place our own manufacturers on
such footing as would enable them to compete with
the TO- eign producer This modification Of the tariff
has been suggested and urged upon Congress by Sc
cretary Guthrie and by the woo-growers of the
West whose interests are thus shown to be identical
with those of the wooden manufacturer.
sin the absence of such modification SO strenuous
ly urged by msDy and opposed by few none, the
importation of wooden goods at this port alone, for
the FIRST five months of this year exceeded ten mill
lions of dollars in value. against $3.50, goo for the
period last year. 1t is very apparent, even to
casual observer, that such large inportations have
the effect to absorb lar re portion of the wealth OF
the country and keep up the rates for Foreign Elk
change Sterling bills for the next steamer command
q 0lO per cent premium and as the exports OF pro-
duce and merchandise do not Keep pace, In value with
the imports there is consequent export OF gold to
square the accounts"
