NEW York DRY GOODS TRADE.-The N. 7.
Express of Monday evening thus speaks of the
dry goods trade: The dry goods trade to-day
is dull and feyerish. There is Il Ill on some
Of the leading qualities Of tleached lnIsllns.-
To days prices for New York Hills are 25c.,
l3al33c Still there is not aEy change i'll the
prices of the other different lines, and buyers
do not seem to take hold Of goods with any
more vigor than they did last week 1t is evil
dent that the buyers have the best of the mar
ket, and that manufacturers, as well IS import
ers will have to still further modify their tig-
ures before there will be Il really good and
healthy fall trade In the meantime we no
lice that silks, particularly the lower grades OF
market while the higher grades Of those goods
are very firm. Linens also very firm: and at
an advance Of fully ten per cent on the liner
grades OF these goods. French dress fabrics
and also those of British make, have not ruled
so steady in figures for the last ten days. They
are held at quite decline from the opening
prices of the season. Still importers claim that
thore will be reaction in prices"
At New York, yesterday the market for for
cicn exchange was strong aud upward IN ten
dency, rates 1U85al094 Gold sold down to 1929
again. but closed at 143. Governments were
lower at the close than the final rates Of the day
previous having declined jag per cent for Old
5-2Os, and sa3 per cent for the newer Issues
This decline is remarkable in view of the adj
vance Of u s. bends to 73s at London and Is
at Frankfort yesterday Afternoon. Border State
stocks were stronger and somewhat higher for
Tennessees and North Caroinas.
Business at the Baltimore Stock Board was
very dull yesterday. Gold sold at 1874. There
we're no transactions in Govt or State stocks.

SHIP CANAL THROUGH TIE lSTIIMUS OF
DARIEN.-PreSident Johnson, in his Interview
with General Acosta, the newly accredited
Minister from the United States Of Colombia,
took occasion to advert to the Importance Of a
shin canal through the lsthmus of DarIen. lie
directed the attention of the South American
plenipotentiary to the fact that while the re-
public of Colombia had granted certain prlyl-
leges to citizens Of the y. S. on the lsthmus
of Panama,in perfactlng the Panama Railroad,
it would be greatly advantageous to her inter-
est and her glory to give encouragement to our
people in the construction OF broader inter
oceanic communication through the lsthmus OF
Darieu. He reminded him that this neck OF
land is only thirty four miles wide between the
Gulf Of Darien and the Pacific, and that the
highest elevation WAS only forty feet. II suth.
Gent protection and announcement Is afforded
to our citizens, said Mr.. johnson, in substance,
they will have that long desired ship canal open
for navigation in two years, and thus supply
the inadequate transit now afforded to the ma
tions Of the West and the East by the Panama
Railroad. The President further remarked
that American enterprise was already sup
plementing the connection between the Atlantic
and Pacific through the Union Pacific Rail
road from New York to San Francisco. -
''PIeaso say this for me, said Mr.. johnson,
'to the President, Congress, statesmen and
people OF Coombi and all OF them, that Japan,
China, India and the whole East are needing
that communication not less than the Western
nations are earnestly desiring its achieve

would devote all his energies to that end. He
would regret it if either country, in coming to

PEANUTS. peanut crop In North Caro-
lima is represented as being very fine one
The yield this year, it is thought, will some
what exceed that Of the last. Then, so, 900
bushels was rcckoned as the highest estimate
for the North Carolina crop, but now it is
thought that it will reach as high as 90, 900,
and possibly 100, 900 bushels. The drought OF
about six weeks previous, injured the crop
somewhat but it has since improved very much ,
until at this time the indications are that it will
be very fine one. 1t will be recollected that
the peanut will only grow we'll in that State on
lands near the sea coast, and, consequently,
the comparatively small amount always report

quence of an increased demand, that they will
