New York Dry Good. Market.


The market maintains tie increased buoyancy
noted in our last report. Buyers coming in
more freely, and generally taking good bills
The South and Southwest are now well represented
but western houses are not yet generally in the
market. The Latter class of buyers operate with
ton, but make average parcels, Notwithstanding;
their wants are larger toan usual owing 10 the bare
ness of last antumn's purchases: but, whilst there
so much uncertainty to what the farmers may
once wait for better prices Western buyers think
hprudent to make provision for a moderate demand
leaving open 10 make after purchases fthey should
nnd that their anticipaions have been too limited.
There is very brisk demand for staple domestic
goods. Man ufacfurers producing 70 the utmost
Of their ability and yet the demand is greatly in ad-
vance Of the supply
Foreign Goods.
Foreign houses report fair business doing. Buy
ers are IN some cases making lower bids, which
not generally accepted and fair prices have to be
paid all operations There is less talk of the pros
pective fall in value the expectation OF which had
been raised by fictitious representations. and large
and remuneratiye seasons business is looked for.
In order to avoid a misrepresentation Of the fact
that the imports for the present year largely IN
excess Of previous yea s, things shall be borne
mind in addition to the reasons stated in pre-
reports. Importers in Baltimore, Boston and Phla-
delphia are now having their Goods entered at New
York in preference TO receiving them through their
own ports, which very materially swells custom
returns From the following list of packages of
dry Dry Goods exported from Liverpool for the above
mentioned ports it Will be seen in what proportion
this change likely to affect the customs returns of
Dry Goods for the port OF New York.
Number OF packages OF Cottons, Linens, Woolens
Worsted and Blankets exported from Liverpool to
the ports of Philadelphia Baltimore and Boston for
the first six months of the current year. Philadelphia,
60O9; Baltimore, 500; Boston I3, 26l-Total 90,
$780,
The number exported from the game port to New
York for the like period is 70, 1852 On the SUPPOSE
ton that only onehaf of the Goods imported by
chants connected with the three ports specified have
been entered at this port (Which certainly under
the real proporton) it will follow that the customs
list of Dry Goods for New York is Increased in the
ratio of IA per cent by Goods with which New York
merchants have no concern. Here then is IA per
cent of the excess accounted for the over
1857, is, however, only IL per cent il follows that
nave really decrease compared with 1851, of per
cent But this is not ALL The year 1857 of very
low values IN foreign manufactures, while this year
high rates are obtained most descriptions of
Goods AT a safe estimate, importers paying
advance on the prices of 1857 Of from y to 10 per
CT; SO that connecting these two facts turns out
th t instead of an increase of IL Fer cent in this
years imports over those of the panic year Of 1851,
there is really decrease in fully that ratio.-U S.
