The Dry Goods Trade.
ITs POSITION M NrHE onIaIs.

The New York Reonomist Of Saturday
says: The strength OF the dry goods trade
10 this city Is manifested by lis drmness
during the present panic. 80 far there
has not been single failure, and there is
no probability Of any. Probably the very
darkest hour OF the panic occurred under
the false, and, as It appears, malicious ru.
NOR OF the suspension Of q couple Of lead.
ing houses In the trade. II struck the
mercantile community like, the knell OF
coming doom. For all instinctively com.
prehended that the dry goods interest
was one Of the soundest In tho CITY, and II
that failed 1t was lost. - 60
But the dry goods trade has not only
sustained It's own credit and discharged
all its obligations, but II has also extended
its credit to tho banks With an In
stinctive comprehension of the necessities
OF the hour, the leading firms tacltly and
informally agreed to make their usual
banking deposits, and at the same time to
draw spariugly and only to meet imme.
diate demands. This was virtually 0
loan Of the credit Of the great dry goods
firms to the city banks at time when It
was much needed. '''4 .'' r. W
This favorable condition Of the dry
goods interest Of New York reflects the
condition Of the trade throughout the
country, and Is q matter OF national I'm.
portance. And the policy Of trade In sus.
tanning the banks by their credit, can
not be too highly commended. Ills pos.
sib.e that other trades may not be In an
equally favorable position to initiate this
course. But those that can, should do 80
10 the full extent Of their ability. II Is
not necessary to hold formal meetings, as
that might defeat the object in view.

THE propriety Of attempting to resume
specie payments is o matter Of discussion
now in New York and elsewhere. Some
are Of opinion that this will be the resnlt
Of the recent crisis, but it would appear
that most Of the prominent New York
tluanciers take different view Of the
matter. A number of heavy bankers
who were interviewed on Friday were all
agreed that there Is no necessary connec-
lion between the present large importa-
lion Of gold and tho resumption Of specie
payments. John ]. Cisco, cx-United
States Assistant Treasurer, says the banks
cannot resume specie payments because
they do all their business on a currency
basis, "by the laws under which they
were organized they have nothing to do
with gold necessarily. 1t Is only the gov
erument that can take any effective meas.
ures leading to resumption. 1t must ac.
Cumuate specie enough to 10 redeem Its
currency in gold; then the banks
will fall naturally into the arrangement,
not before" President Thompson, OF the
Fint National Bank Of New York, has
Issued circular entitled There's Relief
10 Redemption" in which he urges q re-
turn to specie payments, and says II the
gold and silver in this country arc utiliz-
edelghty millions in positive relief will
be added at once.
