The business in the dry goods trade has exhibited
some more animation the present week than |, did
the last. Merchants nom the South and Southwest
have appeared in considerable force and houses en-
gsged in the trade in that direction are doing fair
business. Some merchants have also appeared from
the Western States and from the western part of
New York.
The wholesale clothing establishments have been
selling the present week quite freely supplies OF
goods suitable 10 the fall and winter trade at the
South and West. Many Of these houses have found
themselves with an oyerstock Of summer clothing,
and, fashions change, II becomes unsafe TO hold
them over to another season: hence they have for
two or three weeks past been working them OF at
very reduced prices. The manufacture and sale OF
clothing in New York has been every year on the
increase, and many country merchants-and espe-
eially at he Sou,h-supply themselves with ready
made cl5thing OF the better descriptions instead Of
purchasing cloths 70 the extent formerly, to
be made up in the interior. The event OF the week
the large auction sale, held today, OF French
yerino cloths, cschemre do crosse and bombazines,
OF the importation Of Me-sTs. Be lkard & Hutton by
Messrs. wllEerding 4 Mount, and a. eight months
credit II the first sale Of the kind this eison,
and earlier than usual The liberal credit, with the
kind Of goods offered drew together q good and
spirited company for the season Of the year; and il
was said that prices we're well sustained and quite
satisfactory, while but lev packages we're passed.
We observe the auction business has been reopened
In carpets and several sales are advertised incud.
ing those Of Haggerty, Jones X Co. The late in.
telligence from Manchester represents trade
to he good and prices generally firm. Ad.
vires from France also, represented the
prices OF staple French goods to be well main
tanned, with few American orders in hand for exc.
cution at Lyons. Letters from France, also, gene
rally agee tina; the silk crop in the south Of France
and in parts OF lsaly ard Spain, win he from one
third 10 one half short This, however, may be an
exaggerated view Of the case. Domestic goods
have exhibited but little change during the past
week. The large inportations have the tendency to
keep down prices IN the present limited advance
made in the fall trade. The full tide Of trade few
weeks hence may tend to advance prices. The
export trade was hight last week, the shipments
being confined 70 small lots taken for Australia and
South America There was al the close more in.

Flantels and blankets especially we're firm, aud

proved, and have generally become more satisfac
tory, while the number Of failures has been Iira
tied.
