The distribution Of goods by the obbng trade during
the past week has been small. The arrangements of
business incident to the close of the year have contrib
uted to the general inactivity There has been, how
ever quite representation of the Southern and West
ern merchants whose purchases have been confined to
the Wooden and Clothing departments. Many Of the
large distributing houses have been taking all desirable
Job lots of domestic goods, expecting advance as
the season opens and are also contracting far
possible with the manufacturer direct for staple goods

The Printing Cloth mills at the East are generally
working on orders which extend into March. The
stocks of goods on hand at the commencement OF the
year. as well as In the commercial eenter, will be less
than for many years. and the prOpectsof general busi-
ness are quite haerng. Although sections of the
country have not entirely recovered from the embar-
rassments of 1857 yet the system Of Entertainments so
rgdly enforced in every department. has had ts appro

An entire revolution in the method Of distribution
and sale of manufactured goods probable
The trade is centerng toward the large distributing
houses of New-York Their enormous sales, in some
instances, exceed those of our largest commission
houses and their paper as eagerly sought after in the
street. and frequently they able to contract direct
for the entire product of mills without Intervention Of
third parties This approximates more nearly TO the
Engsh method, to the advantages of which we have
had occasion often TO refer.
The latest adyces from lnchester, TO the effect
that neither for the East nor for the Continent for
home consumption have the transactions been large
mainly because buyers and sellers mutually under
contract to considerable extent, though regards
some kinds, the buyers hesitate to pay the prices
quired Spinners are perfectly at about any such
hesitation. The purchases of goods for the East
on very limited scale, but the full quotations
steadily maintained producers having their books well
furnished with contracts Other descriptions of cloth
are exceedingly firm in price under steady demands
many articles indeed are still inclinng upward from
their searceness.
