New York Dry Goods Market.

BY telegraph NEW YORK, August l.
DRY GooDs-The market as n general
thing is langufd, but the advance in cotton
and the prospect Of a still higher price I'M
an increasing demand for spinning pur-
poses, tends to impart buoyancy to the
inactivity prevalent. there is no especi4l
change to notice in prices. ~ few particu-
lar brands of caiic0eS are rather higher
and Will be pressed down ere long but
other goods are likely 10 hold their own

or sixty days. Ejcher prices may be look

Prospects of the Fall Trade.

The universal impression seems to be
that there will be a brisk Fall trade. The
New York Sun says:
If the Judgment of our leading mer-
chants is reliable, there will be a good Fall
trade in this city. This is the time at
which wholesale merchants receive their
Fall and Winter goods from manufacturers
and importers, and it is noticeable that
the stocks now coming in are generally
large. If leading merchants believed that
there is danger of financial crash or of
dull business during the Fall, they would
be careful not to buy largely. Several
manufacturing establishments, in conse-
quence of the large orders given by mer-
chants, have, within the last two weeks
employed more than their complement of
hands, and some are pressed with orders
as they have not been before for two years.
II seems to be the general opinion of our
merchants that the success of the crops
Will relieve the present financial stringen-
cy IN the country, enable country mer-
chants to make collections, and buy goods
on a liberal scale.
FROM the Cincinnati Price Currents Mar
ket Review of the 3lst uIt., we clip the fol-
lowing items:
The applicants under the Bankruptcy act
are numerous. but many find great diff
culties, in passing through the Court they
did not expec namely: that they have
not k pit regular books. This is essential
under the law.
At length one of the fraudulent distiIlers
has been sent to Jail from New York.
Judge Benedict, of Brooklyn, in passing
sentence said that it seemed to have been
understood that the revenue laws can be
violated with fmpunity; +" but" said he,
" this must be understood otherwise"
The wheat market is not yielding as well
as had been expected. and large amount
of that coming to the market is of poor
quality. Farmers are not di posed TO sell
below 81 per bushel, at home, so tina The
prospect of very low prices for wheat, re-
garded so bright some weeks ago by deal
erS, are becoming rather dim.

The New Crops Coming.

The glorious weather of the past two
months is beginning to be felt in c. m
mercial circles, says the Chicago Repu6Lt-
can, OF Friday last in the receipt of grain
from the crop of 1867. This is, however,
but foretaste of what we may expect
during the next three or four months. Yes
terday, twenty-three car loads of new red
winter wheat were received in this market,
and four car loads of new spring wheat
were sold on Change. New rye was also
received in market, and sales were made
of No. at SOFA decline within twenty
four hours OF 25c per bushel.
Within a few weeks, If Providence con-
tinues to smile on us, the receipts of West
ern produce will have stimulatedarade and

Sanguine expectations.

COVERING GRAPE VINES FOR WIN
TER.-All vines set last spring should be
covered and protected for the first winter
This is important, and we know of In
stances where thousands of dollars worth
Of high priced varieties have been lost
for lack Of this simple precaution. Tits
not question of hardness for vines
that are most distinguished for this quail
ty often suffer exceedingly if exposed
during the first winter; their period of
growth has not been long enough to est
ablish them thoroughly in the soil and
impart their natural vigof and endurance.
Soil is the best, cheapest and most con-
yenient covering material; straw, leaves,
or any litter that may afford harbor for
mice should be avoided, and in covering
with dirt especial care should be taken
to leave no holes near the vine or It's
roots, in which water may collect and
stand. AS the vines are to remain cover
ed until the period of pruning is passed
this operation should be performed at the
time Of laying them down. Then col
the vines around the stock as closely as
possible without injuring them, and cover
with sufficient depth ofsoii to preven
the storms of winter from laying then
bare. It is not freezing which Injuries
but tie sudden changes of temperature
Another advantage gained by covering il
protection against frosts in the spring; a
the buds are held back and do not pusl
as early as if unprotected.

HOME INFLUENCE.

The heart has memories that cannot
die that the rough rubs of the world
canLot obliterate. And dearest among
them are the cherished memories of home.
"Sweet home" has been from time i'm
memorial "a favored theme both for the
poet and for writer's Of more humble
prose. Yet still the pen loves to linger
over that one word and ever viii SO long
as the very mention of it shall awaken in
the mind SO many kindly tender memo
ries. f.. ~ .t Ht7T"F 9at H.:
mIMany of the. good and great of every
age have described much of their after
success to the happy influence which sur
rounded them in their early life; and
justly too, for It's within the pure atmos,
.phere Of home that the most ennobling
attributes of the human character are dis
played, the innate beauties of the soul
developed and the purest sympathies of
onr nature awakened When weary with
the busy turmoil of the world without,
we turn with safety toour own little world
within, the loved home circle, certain of
there finding that sympathy that the
heart Graves; there the false forms aud
fashions Of the world may be disregarded
with impunify; there at least we may be
our unaffected selves. And there is a
charm in the simple freside pleasures
which cannot be surpassed; conversation,
sweet Interchange of thought for thought,
or cheering music may serve to while
away the passing hours; and in books we
have never failing source of pleasure
