The dry goods importers are seleg moderately
to the Weston ard city buyers, and as we have
STATED mare than Of late, all staple goods are
sekpg fairly, while French goods and various arti-
eles OF luxury are being pushed of at a large loss
Ne have made some inquiries as to the ownership
of the ribbons, dress silks, lsces, Sc which have
lately been crifced at the auction stores, and we
led 10 believe that By re greater rar of them
we're owred abroad. They were the surplus Of the
French and German VIA turers' stocks, which
we're sent here to their agents to be sold for what
they would bring in order 10 leave tie home mar
kef clear for the spInrers fall wares,
Abe cot,on market here was quiet all last week
or sellers 10 operate. The former look for a fur
xhsr decf ne abreed the latter believe that for the
present, prices have reached q minimum. The re-
ceipts re falling off, but the excess over last year
has no yet begun to diminish. The total crop re-
Ueipt 10 the date of the last weekly report was
400 900 bales, since when we hear by telegraph
tbS there hps been no diminution in the receipts:
~ THAT now a crop of $500 600 bales may be re-
gaIded asa minimum. The quality of the cotton
now comie forward is, however, generally poor
that desirable grades wni not be cheapened by the
unexpected increase of production.
We have al length TO report an advance in the
breadstuGs market IN London and Liverpool. This
long 81 pected event has led to q partial revival Of
speculation here. and some business has been done
Isl wheat, four and corn, al a small advance. The
markss for the latter closes quite buoyantly.
considerable further advance must take place in
EusHDe before il will pay to ship wheat or -four
thiss or, The spectators aver that the price must
rise Fl om this time until The harvest. Enormous
stocks of wheat, corn, -four and other grain are
awaiting the opening of navigation on the Western
saakes to come forward. Thus far, the season has
been all that he farmers could wish for the grow wing
crop.
The groeers have had a quiet week since our
last review. There have been some heavy trans.
actions in sugar, at decline Of about &C. pound;
the stock has been largely increased by recent ar.
rivals, but tea, coffee and other groceries have
been very dull, holders asking more money than
buyers ore willing to give. The West is buying
fewer groceries than anticipated; and good
deal disappointment is the result.
There was no specie export of any conse-
~ eutnce last week TO tell against the bank
average; but the export Of Saturday, 3Ist March
: 1856 ,Sya-was probably counted in the reserve
srshown last Monday, and the city has lost
~mouey 20 Boston, Philadelphia and the South. 1t
vii nc safe, therefore, 10 look for decline in the
specie return TO be shown tomorrow. The last
-srctnr was S2s 428,7 1853; this time last year the
banks held $25, 14S,667 The Sub Treasury has
lost meney siuce last week. the receipts from du
e. iies having been small, chiefly in consequence of
the Aon-srrval Of steamers the balance yesterday
stood ct 81 562 $685. against s. o26 493 at the close
Of ass week, and 1892 453 at date last year.
California steamer is nearly due, with the usual
EeR onthiy remittance.
Tbe banks are not expected TO show any increase
OF ioaas tomorrow. Their last statement showed
leans aggregate of sl2s ,Sss 223qHite as much as
il seae for them to carry at the present time with
the prospect of stormy year before them. In the
coursc of few weeks We shall be in the beat of
Z eatiens, promises to be the most embittered and
unconscious in our national history No one
=, can tell what events the year may not bring
forth 1t is quite certain that the general
y tendency of the canvass will be anti-commer
cjal .and prudent institutions should
be prepared for anything that may happen
With the present expansion of bank loans, there
is every prospect of heavy import of foreign
" han ftn
valng sectional excitement may operate against
Southern trade with New York. and in this event,
the losses sustained by importers viii be heavier
than will be pleasant for owners of their paper.
This time last year, with nearly Sc 0O0 900 of CON-
yihe bank discounts footed up 1929 ,s65,752.
The week closes on a money market as easy as it
ewss week ago. On Tuesday and Wednesday there
Wa quite active demand for money from the bro
keFs, and per cent was readily paid for cali loans
Tho was caused in great measure by the calling
Z In &C some heavy loans by few leading lenders
t0n Thursday and Friday the demand slsckened in
a a marked degree. and yesterday money was freely
o&srad at a 81 per cent An attempt was made
simultaneously wifi the advance ia caH loans to
raise tie rates of discount, but this did not succeed
SWe quote as before, short first class double name
pan or al per cent; same grade of a months

so much, money here, and so little employment for
il IN the Interior, that mary persons of experience
look for an eery market Until the fall.
I Contrary 10 the general expectation we cannot
report any advance in foreign bills since last week
