1t isconceded on all hands that the
spriug trade was very satisfactory in
all parts of the country. Accounts OF
stock which have been completed for
the half wear and the reckoning which
accompanies this duty, following an
unfavorable season, show that corner
has been turned. The Fall trade has
commenced with moderate activity
and in eight or ten days merchants will
be very busy, although in the year of
a Presidential election it is found that
buyers make their purchases with
more circumspection that in ordinary
years.
Stocks are known not to be as heavy
as they were last year, either of i'm
ported or of domestic goods, and it is
not probable that any diminutton in
price will take place until the time ar
riVes for clearing out whatever surplus
or particular styles may remain. The
quantity of raw cotton at the ports OF
the United States, on the 18th of July
last, was estimated at about 80, 900 bales,

Although our importations were
lighter than were those OF last year
they yet exceed our exports. The bal"
ance on this account for several years
past has been met by the sale of our
bonds in Europe. The necessity for
part of this large importation arose
from the disturbed state OF domesuc
industry during the war, particularly
in the South, but the large crops OF
grain which have already been mar
vested there, and the favorable lnolca-
