NEw YoRk DIR GooDs 5lAKEET.-The market
is completely paralyzed- The events OF the
week have been too legibly written, as with nre,
aud too universally read to need to oe ciTohii
cled now; and might perhaps, be considered
out of place here, except that they have entlEc-
ly oYcrthrowti all regular trade
Under this state OF things, strenuous Efforts
have been made by vaIions parties to effect
sales for cash, One large dealer advertised
stock Of several hundred thousand dOllass val.
ue 20 be sold preTeInptorily for cash Mt auction
A large company attended. 1t was evident that
but small portion OF the stock was exhibited,
and that not the choicest part. Every lot put
mp was sold, but many were passed and with
drawn. Atlantic and PocasSctt SheetingS brought
Sc; Pacific Tsc; Indian Head a; Stark 10;
.Jexett City DENNIS 7c; Henry Clay Stripes a;
P:ints-AmeTican Print Works, &C; Merrimac,
2nd, y; regular ditto, 81. Manchester and Pa
cific Muslin de Laine, l2l to l3Ie: CoburgS,
De BsgcS, PlaiiS, and other Yorkshire Dress
Goods, in poor fabric, sold low according to
cost, but not less than other d-aers offering
to sell similar goods at private sale. Worsted
Plaids brought % and &c. Credit price 42l.
The assortmcnts Of these and some other Dress
Goods we're broken. \ few Flannels brought
nearly their value. Silks sold badly; some sold
at 35c, which might have been sold on credit a
few weeks back, at 80 soc. Carpetings we're
nearly all passed, the whole sale didnot probably
produce over 5000, and did not average over
tvo-thirds cost.
Several large wholesale iobbcrs are offering
their stocks at retail, and some have succeeded
in taking from s., 900 TO 5000 day. Their
stocks for wholesaiing hereafter will be more OF
less injured. Such of their customers as bought
Of them for retail here, must be injured. and
their success can be but temporary, inasmuch
rs the city has whole blocks OF warehouses am
PLY filed with choice selections adapted for re-
the course, but will take measures to secure at
least full share of the retail trade the city.
The history of a well known house that in
1867 took advantage of the crippled condition
of the trade generally, to sell fine stock at re-
tail, for cash, cannot at this day be repeated.
Then was laid the foundation Of :he largest for.
tune probably ever derived from dry goods IN
this country. Excepting the house referred to,
all had parted with their goods and held only
broken contracts for them, but in this revulsion,
while there is some new victim sacrificed every
hour, hundreds are left with abundance of all
resources except cash, who will manage to get
their proportion of that, should any remain in
circulation. Most of the importers and commits
sion houses have their goods covered, and look
with suspicion upon almost all who offer to buy.
Advices from Leipsic dated 22d Sept, state
that there were large orders for American ac-
count, and that at the fair Just closed, goods
brought an advance price; but surely in the ex-
listing state of things, those with majority Of
most other orders, will be countermanded
large importation next Springwould be suicidal.
The amount entered this week at this port is
eleven hundred thousand dollars, all hut two
hundred thousand OF which go into Bond; these
figures correspond with same period last year,
except that amount to Bond and on the market,
were then reversed.
The factors of staple domestic Cottons are
doing next to nothing, but with the downward
tendency of cotton wool, would be glad to see
an export demand for strong paper at the prices
which ruled eighteen months ago, which was
abont fifteen per cent. below the present nomiu-
al price.
