BY the above returns IL will be that both the
entries Of dry goods and the amount thrown upon
the market during the past week are about half
less than they were for the same week last year.
while they were in excess Of those for 1856. The
totals since the first Of January last fall largely in
Of those for the period both in 1866 and
1857. The present week has given some more in
dications Of the scattering commencement of
the fall trade. Merchants from distant points
have appeared in market, and have made purchases
20 some extent TO replenish their assortments, 20
that they may he prepared for the opening Of the
season in their respective localities. Buyers have
appeared here and there from New Orleans Mobile
Louisville, Cincinnati and st. Louis. But, as many
swallows appear before summer, many merchants
arrive before the fall trade fully commences. The
prospects regarding the fall trade continue 10 i'm
prove the season advances; and with the con-
clusion Of good harvest and fair prices for produce
we may expect to considerable revival Of trade
generally At last accounts from Europe the crops OF
grain on the Continent said 10 be less promising
which bad impaired greater frmness to wheat and
-four, both at London and Liverpool, which produced
greater buoyancy in our market. Should the prices
OF breadstus be by any chance enhanced the result
will act very favoraby on Western trade. Pork and
beef likely 20 be sustained at remunerative prices
The discovery Of extensive gold fields in Washington
Territory has already caused purchases Of pork TO
be made for shipment 10 California. Some increase
in the demand for ready made clothing and certain
styles OF dry goods may be expected TO spring up
for the part of the country. Al last accounts
trade had revived at Manchester, and manufactu
rers were enabled 10 get better prices for goods
which fact, with the increased demand for money
showed that trade was reyiving in England which
would lead 90 increased consumption Of cotton
goods and tend to sustain the present prices Of raw
cotton. Our own manufacturers are producing
more freely and with greater confidence. Mtsy OF
them appeared in market this week, and purchased
cotton quite freely. While the raw material re
mains within the neighborhood of present prices
with the light stocks OF goods in the country no
rious decline in the prices Of American cotton goods
can reasonably be anticipated. Goods, therefore,
are generally held with more firmness than they
were at the close OF the sprinp season. The move
ment in domestic fabrics yet is light, while prices
are firm. Brown sbeetings and shlrtings were
firmly held at SIC, six moths, Sc, eight months.
Light sheetings were SIC. &c. In other descrip
tons there was no change Of moment 10 notice.
Bleached goods were selling moderately at steady
prices. There was an improved export demand for
drills, and saes were reported for Calcutta at sIc.
Beached and blue drills were quiet. OsnaburPs
were held with more confidence for the opening ~
