rapidly increasing its attractions.
THE ATTENDANCE.
Over nine hundred tickets wsrs taken in the
course Of the day, the members held over FIVE

such was the press Of business that many
objects on exhibition had not yet obtained a
place in the registration book. This will be a
day Offering great Inducements to those wish
ing TO visit their own County Fair.
The ladies especially viii hnd this day of
exhibition interesting to them. To-day will
be exhibited for competition thorough bred

ExTsAvAGAScE ~ THE OLDEN TIME.-A
very aged member Of the police department,
who retains in a worderful degree the recoI-
~leetions Of boyhood, states that in 1928, the
women wore hoops, but nat as al present, eon-
formsble more or less 20 the figure. Thea each
woman wore a single hoop, and this was as
large as the lower one now worn. The hoop
was worn as high IS tue hips, and below It
depended a train, often FIVE Or six yards long,
that swept the sidewalk, OF was carried By
waiting maids or boys. The old gentleman
rscollects seeing Mrs. Morris, wife Of the
wealthy Robert Morris, Of Philadsiphia, walk

weekly Review Of he Dry goods Trade.

From ts New Tsrk News Oct -
The dry goods trade remains perfectly IMAM
innate. Importers and commission dealers find
it almost impossible toTealize upon heir goods.
except through the auction houses, where they
are Obliged TO submit to the most ruinous sac
rihces. The jobbers are in a rather better po-
sition than their ~neighbors, though they are
also comparatively idle, country merchants
msnifesirg no disposition to either pay mp old
scores or contract further Indebtedness for the
moment. Some parties who End il utterly i'm
possible to make collections IN the West, owing
TO the scarcity of exchange there, or any de-
scTiption Of currency available 80 a remittance,
have authorized their debtors to forward pro-
duce, the expense of shipping which would not
amount to bot little, il any more than the cur
rent rates Of discount. The projection OF do
nestle goods at the Eastward and North, is
only about one-third OF what it was at the cor
responding date last year, aud The SOCK in
market is moderate.
Although the period for the heaviest OF fall
payments is past, yet the hardest period Of the
season, 1t is believed, is TO. come. Instead OF
taking up their notes whiebfell due on the LIST
Of OetOber, most of the dry goods me- -aTraug-
ed with their creditors for an extension, owing
to the money pressure. Tn pay day must
come, however, and when it does, there must
seeesssriiy be cracking aud swapping Weare
naturally disposed 70 look upon the bright side
Of the picture, but from present appearances
there is 10 way 70 avoid an evil which would
seem to be impending.
Brown shsetings and shifting are nominal
Cotton has Fallen about &c. D from the hish-
est price Of the season, but this has 10 effect
upon goods, owing 10 the wholesale suspension
OF mills.
The same remarks will apply with equal
force 10 bieaehed goods. Drills are alec nom
inal at ss@9c. for brown, 9tc. fer bleachsd
and l01Wlufc. for blue. Osn4burgS are neg
lected an occasional sale Of bagging Is made
to tue bag makers az irregular prices Cotton
jeans, denims, stripes and ticks and other
staple cotton fzbrics, are neglected. Cotton
duck is noninaHy a. last qloted 500 bales
colts sold by auction last week at an average
reduction OF ? cents from the regular asking
prices. Printing cloths are held at 5tG55e. foF
60X54, but no sales have been made recently.
Prints are irregular and dull the prediction
has been reduced. Ginghsms are quiet the
seasons Tor thsse goods being about ever. De-
lzines hold their owa in value Cloths, eassi-
meres, s~aiine.s, and other wooisls are neglect
ed, and prices are very irregular.
Foreign goods cannot BE- sold except at ruin
ouslY low prices. We hear Of some importers
re-sbipping goods bsekto Europe that bad been
sent here on ~eoasighment. Nav kinds Of fab
rcs, especially Of ladies' wear, have fallen 80
2 esnt. within sixty DAYS. The depreciation
u silks has been particularly heavy.

preach and worry ourselves and others about
excessive importations, over-trading and the
like nonsense, when the fact is that, though
our imports Of foreign merchandise exceed
those Of 1856 by $50, COS ,O32, the year closes

FIRST DAY.


The interesting ceremony Of the opening Of
the shelby County Agricultural Fair, took place
yesterday morning. The previous day had been
one of gloon, and cloud, and d~rizzling rain.
Intense was the satisfaction Of the friends Of
agriculture in this county when the morn
ing sun rose bright and resplendent, giving
assurance of a lovely fall day, the only draw
bach to which was a chilly cold wind, the in
consenienee which was, however, well com
psnsated for By the freedom from dust conse-
qusnt upon Mondays rain. As the hour Of
opening approached, the road leading to the
Fair became crowded with people, and through
the day the railroad contributed to swell the
human stream that flowed towards the grounds.
We reached the spot at an early hour, busy
feet and hands, the sound Of saw aud hammer,
told that those having booths for retailing ar
tieles at the Fair had not yet completed their
preparations. Articles and arrivals Of many
kinds and species rapidly passed in al the gate,
but such were the admirable arrangements Of
the President and Directors, well carried out
by the active Superintendent Of the arrange
nsnts, MF. UNDERWOOD, who ofEeiatsd as
Chief Marshal, that all fell into orderly rank
