Declining Prices.

The Richmond Times writes:
The indications are cheering that
high prices will not continue to dis
turb the waking thoughts and nightly
dreams of men of narrow means
much longer. We think that the
prices of the necessaries of life will
soon be coming down with a rush.
Groceries and provisions have fallen
somewhat; in dry goods the tumble
is decided. In cotton fabrics the
jobbing trade lowered last week, and
the market continues to be heavy in
all the principal cities. That class of
sharp advertising retailers, who are
the true barometers of heavy fall
in dry goods, are in the field with
unprecedented bargains" in calicoes
and other goods. The steady fall in
the price of cotton has brought the
whole family of cotton fabrics to
grief. Prints, sheetings, cottonades,
ticks, browns, plaids, stripes, lawns,
ginghams, the New York commercial
papers tell us, ore 'ssluggish." at
'limited request" 'sdull," "slow"
and "selling low"
AuCGlOu sales are rapidly IN
creasing, and the fall in the price of
cotton and gold is exercising great
influence on the trade"
If ''trade flags in New York" and
if goods are abundant and mer-
chants cannot sell them, and if there
is O frightful uncertainty about the
financial future, which chills enter
prise, checks production and para
lyzes trade" there is something more
than the "decline in cotton and gold"
at the bottom of the abyss which un-
nerves the commercial prosperity of
the North. The mad, insensate po-
litical carnival at Washington is the
cause of this, as well as of many
other misfortunes Everything is
being done to launch the nation upon
new sea Of troubles, while there is
not the slightest prospect of intelli-
gent and timely legislation touching
the financial condition of the coun-
try. We have yet to hear of single
wise step being taken to better the
financial condition of the country
during the life of the present Con-
gress.

cos1MERC1AL AND FINANCIAL.

RICHMOND, March 12.-The signs in the
commercial world plainly indicate decline
in all things-in the cost Of rents, living,
and wages of all sorts. In New York, we
learn from the best authorities that the
spring trade has thus far been unsatisfac-
it will be any better, but much to fear that
1T will be worse before it is better. The
heavy importations are filing the large
cities with anxious sellers and haggard
buyers. The Southern demand has taper
ed eff much more rapidly than was antici-
pated. Northern merchants hoped for a
deeper pocket, and heavier sales in this
direction. Manufacturers find that they
had r-calculated; and running on short
time will not relieve the market of present
excess and consequent decline. The South
is, indeed, nearly exhausted of the supply
OF staples remaining after the war, and it
will be some months before the next crops
can be made available.
Dry goods, foreign and domestic, de-
clined in the last eight or ten days, 20 per
cent
The prices of living remain high, and
yield slowly. This is owing to the great
scarcity prevailing at the close of the war,
and the want of time to replenish the gra-
naries and increase the stock of animals.
