In regard TO Dry Goods, The Independent says:
"The demand for goods during the last two weeks
has been steady, without great activity. The city
jobbers are busy, and many have been replenshing
their stocks with the most desirable goods. There
have been greater purchases made by Western merch-
ants which has been a feature Of the week. French
dress silks in good demand as well as the best
styles of robes. Ribbons also have been in greater
request in Fall styes-red, purple and blue-although
prices are yet low. Wooden goods are all in super
abundant stock, with light demand and much hcavi-
ness in price The importatons keep mp, while there
is lack of foreign goods whatever there may be of
customers. The importations Of cotton goods are
comparatively light while those of silk and woolens
are very large. For the month Of September, the
value Of silk fabrics imported $2677,70O; that Of
woolens 81 ,9i0 49, while that of cotton goods was
only $ss t92. In domestic goods there has been con-
siderable movement, but the week closed with
diminished activity. Cotton goods less steady in
price, Prints and deaines sell readily. Desirable
styles and qualities of fancy cassmeres are sought
after, and command good prices, but others are dull
and heavy. The supply Is large. Business from TINS
date will, as usual, decline rapidly"

importance TO their interest.
The London Times of the 10th says:
Consos opened at further Improvement Of |, and
subsequently experienced another advance, which
was firmly maintained at the close The first trans
actions were at 97; 9S and the ultimate prices
gsl for money and 9si for the 18th OF October.
The rise during the present month, therefore, has
been equal to nearly y cent, but the point at
tanned is not higher than that touched is May last,
when the rate Of discount was between , and v
cent and the bullion in the Bank ~ 100000 be-
low its present amount. Transactions in Consos for
the account took place at that period at 9o4.
Many persons are disposed to expect reduction in
the Bank rate Of discount on Thursday next but the
more general opinion is that II will be delayed for
week a fortnight. Judging from former figures,
however, it may take place at any time. While the
bullion shown in the last return within t3,OS,O'J
If the highest amount held, the total Of unem-
poyed still nearer To the maximum, its diff
ference from the largest within modern experience
being only Gl,392,0. 1t appears, moreover, that on
each occasion of a reduction TO = e cent within the
last ten years the bullion ana were both CON
siderably short OF the sums now in hand. When the
step taken in 1919 the bullion fl6, lSi, or
f!,753.sSl less than the present, while the reserve
fll ,57l ,39j, or ~ 1880 less. Again In Jan,
1852. q similar movement adopted, when the bull
lion stood at only { 81 jil II 1902 less, and
the reserve at tll 7Us ,stii or q ,l51, ,iy0 ess.
Indeed at the time of the reduction OF : = cent
the I'D of April, 1872, the reserve was at point
which contrasts sti less favOrably with that which
has now accumulated, its amount being fll 800 30j,
compared with which there il at this moment an ex-
cess Of = 3tj,O ,Oi5 At that remarkable period even
the bullion not than EfJ3,6J above the
amount presented last week. Consequently however
speedily the expected change may be announced, it
will have been delayed beyond the period az which il
would have been justified by former precedents.
The Paris Bourse opened with renewed activity ths
morning, but the final quotations 75f. lOc FOR
money, and 80. 3oc for the account, showing
