The Dry Goods Market.

New YORK, Friday, Aug. ID.
The Importers and Commission Houses show mo-
derate but steadily increasing business, and there
some of our jobbers who are more actively employed
IA few leading ones are quite busy indeed; but we
are under the impression that With some of the job
bers who do regular credit trade this activity has
been acquired by yielding the nfsfer of the stric,
credit period. In Baltimore and Phad Iphia, We
have the best authority for saying the tosbers are
cOnceding in the matter of credit much as ten
months from the first Of September and is is not in
the nature of murtals, that Cwn jobSers should
allow such breach of faith, iacitly if Dot formally
pledged to restrict credit to eight months the long
est, and SIX months generally, should secure the ad
vantages the guilty parties have undoubtedly hoped
gain The growing conviction that the country Is
substantially solvent and that long bills are cer
tain be paid maturity, thus securing She holder
against the dsagreeable necessity of granting
tension has undoubtedly been greatly the preiu-
dice Of the short credit resolutions wSieh the dis
asters Of the panic gave rise. The Importers and
Domestic Commission Houses, have. however, 90 far
can learn, been faithful TO strict tire in grant
ing credits and have thus, without contributing to a
restriction which would cramp the efforts % the
try lis efforts The ground ha' has been
lost put wholesome check upon extended credits.
These Houses may do so with less danger OF disagree
for the panic, in the that has resulted
in building up great and strung houses the expense
Of the small ami weak has increased the prcpogerance
Of New York over Biltimore Philadelphia and Bost-
ton; and this tendency Of things has been aided by
the competition between the New York Erie and

The auction sales this week been yell attend

The aiding auction houses have assumed position
in Dry Goods, already high one and growing every
year IN importance; and we may add, that. Jour &C
kuowledged position the business organ Of the
whole fraternity of auCtiOneers justihcs saying
thai this due partly TO the systematic Of
vertising which they pursue, and partly the want
which il generally felt, of Dry Goods Exchange
