SUNDAY, Sept. l2-6 y. NJ.
Tie week which has just closed has been rather
active among the dry goods men, but less so among
other classes Of merchants. The sales Of dry goods
have been rather large In comparison with recent
weeks though few transactions have taken place in
the more expensive varieties Of goods. Cheap do
mestics have been mostly 10 demand. Flour and
brcadstus generally have been dull throughout the
week; -four has declined somewhat in price. Cotton
has also been duh, with rather downward tenden-
cy. An auction sale Of teas, which took place dur
ing the week, was well attended and better prices
realized than had been expected. Sugars have de-
olined ono quarter a. cent per pound since the be
ginning Of the month. Provisions have been quiet,
but steady.
The foreign trade Of the port has been scarcely
less than that Of the corresponding week last year;
which seems to indicate precptate tendency toward
active mercantile movements The time has not yet
come for a revival OF trade on the old scale; the
country people are not prepared 10 buy they did;
the West Is suffering than ever the effects Of
the revulsion have not been etfaoed. In this con-
nection notice the failure yesterday Of a large
house engaged in the Mo and West India business,
with liabilities which are said to exceed half mil
lion. The embarrassment il understood ~ have
grown out Of last years troubles IL IL devoutly 20
be hoped that there few houses in the condition
Of this one-with renewed paper to meet, and no
means TO take IL up. The Custom House figures OF
the trade Of the port for the week. and aso for the
corresponding weeks OF last year and the year be-
fore are as follows

The spccic movement Of the week can hardly tell
very severely against the bank reserve. The gov.
eminent expenditures are beginning almost to
balance the How of specie into the Sub Treasury

slightly below twenty. eight millions. The arrival
