There has been some movement smong the larger
distributing house-. and some engagements have
been maoe for goods for delivery in July sni August
bu: the present tone of the money market, and the
uncertainty of the future, lead 10 great caution The
ipor,stiops of Cottons somewhs, increasing but
the aggregate of the season bears proportion 10
,hst Of Woolens. During the past sity days the I'M
porta,ion of those goods clsssed as Manufactures
Of Wool" amount TO nearly six millions OF dolaTs-
one third of that cunt is represented by men redr
goods which to greater or less extent, come IN d.
rect conf petition with our American cloths The en-
ries in this department. have declined during the past
few weeks and many orders having beeu counter
manded sirce the war Indications il isprobsb!e that
after the lst proximo still further diminished receipts
will be shown-altbough the disturbances on the
Coutren, may lead the principal foreign makers TO
seek this market for disposal OF their surplus TO
greater extent than usual One year since the mpor-
ta,ions were merely nominal 10 amount, and in ao-
sence of fresh goods, satisfactory prices were OBJ
tanned for nearly all descriptions of Woolen fabrics
vet # some corporations had disposed of their early
purchases of wool at the current prices Of the last
Fix months they would have shown a. good bal
ance-sheet as they have done ffom its manufacture
The presen Mt price of wool affords little encouragement
10 manufacture the article, and the clip cannot
be made available at present, even If the price
is materially reduced, for wool having age IS im-
portant in the manufacture Of tirst-olass goods,
Otherwise the shrnksge, which at one time con-
demn.d American cloths, could not be overcome IL
the manufacturer regardless Of the future continues
his purchases and productions without reference to
sure market positive orders, requires no prophet
10 t. the result of his future business The policy OF
exhibiting sample webs, and contracting for the de-
livery Of cloths in advance of their manufacture, il
being illustrated daily by the engagements which
transpire; and 3, stem which has operated so well
with the foreign lubricant should be generally adopted
here.
The cotton manufacturers have adopted this feature
during the past year with great success, aud the
wooden manufacturers should instruct their agents
and commission-houses to pursue the same policy
and TO more favorable time will exist than the
present The perfection to which many have arrived
in the manufacture of their cloths makes their goods
as desrab, the best of the foreign fabrics, and TN
poers who have heretofore given their orders abroad
in iorder to secure confined styles willing to
second the adoption Of the system here. II the
result of the experiment should prove reduced pro-
duction, it would have It's advantages although
mary Of our lubricants could not probably be made to
believe it until the season past
The importation of plain Cottons at this port dur
irg the week ending June 3, as compared with pre-
yious years has been follows:
