The condition of commerce and money mat
tiers has not Mt all improved. Indeed, we may
say that 1t Is gradually growing worse. New
York the great settling pointof the nation, Is In
n very excited and unsettled state. Goods con-
time to decline, with no increase of demand.
Wholesale merchants had supplied them
selves abundantly with stocks for the Southern
markets, especially osnaburgs for negroes.
But the South has not required, or has not
been able to bny them, and they are left on
hand to swell the aggregate of unsaleable goods
which overstock the market and embarrass the
trade Gold, on Saturday, fell to l2i'a; yes
terday ii stood nj 1858. Were there no excess
of stocks, the decline in gold would of itself
bring down prices. The struggle to keep up
the price must have been very great-the
whole dry goods interest and other branches
oftrade must have helped the bulls.
The pressure here is not Of the gentlest kind;
but a community so used 10 misfortune, and
having so little 10 lose are not much exercised
about il. There are some few rumors OF fail
uTes.
