The DRY Goods Trade.

The N. Y. Independent of tie Sd inst,
says Of the Dry Goods Trade:
The trade at wholesale has nearly ceas-
ed for the season, leaving on hand a large
amount of goods imported this spring IN
sold, to the depreciation Of prices and TO
the checking of importations for the Fall.
Auction sales are no longer of interest or
importance. Those jobbers WHO were the
first to concede in price have succeeded N
placing their goods to advantage, with ut
tie remainder, but still the stocks left are
large and deprecated. The fall trade Is
now attracting attention, and contracted
importations are generally resolved on
Indeed, the only way to make the fall
trade re1nunerative, is to limit the imports,
otherwise the losses will be great to i'm
porters and jebbers.5 II is to be hoped,
therefore, that no one will contravene thus
disposition, in the hope that he will bethe
only one that shall import largely. The
trade generally moves as one body, in is
action.
There are general expectations that
The price of cotton has evidently reach
ed, if not passed, its maxiup, and the ap-
pearance Of the growing crop Is encoura
ging to consumers, more especially as there
has been greatly extended planting this
season. Wool has fallen, and silks show
signs Of becoming good supply in Spain
Italy and France. The best course is
therefore, to wait and see what a month OF
so will developein The state of the silk croI
of Europe, the cotton crop of onrSouthen
States, and the cereal crops of Europe ano
our Western States. The payments ofac
counts from the interior are imp: owing
Goods of home manufacture are aecumu
lating, and taking this in connection viii
the threatening decline Of raw cotton, there
is no frmness in prices, and perspective
decline i'll cost and value is anticipated
The clothiers are buying sparingly. Al
purchases are limited to present wants
which are few. 3A22E 50

DR. CHANNING ON THE THEATRE.-We
can conceive Of theatre, which would be
the noblest Of all amusements, and would
take high rank among the means of re
filming the taste and eleyating the charac-
ter Of people. The deep woes, the
mighty and terrible passions, and the sub
lime emotions of genuine tragedy, are fit
ted TO thrill us with human sympathies
with profound interest in our natures, will
n consciousness of what man can do, and
dare, and suffer, with an awed feeling Of
fhe fearful mysteries of life. The soul Of
the spectator is stirred from its depths
and the lethargy in which so many live, is
reused at least for a time, to some intense
ness of thought and sensibility. The dra-
ma answers high purpose when it places
us in the presence of the most solemn and
striking events of human history, and lays
bare 10 us the human heart in its most
powerful, appalling, glorious workings
William Ellery Charming, D. D.
