New York Dry Goods Market.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE city IS full Of
buyers from all sections, who have arrived
to attend the great closing sales of two of
the largest jobbing houses in the trade,
which commenced to-day under favorable
auspices. General jobbing trade ruled
quiet. The special distribution at job
prices was very large. Manufacturers
agents were inactive to-day. Dress fabrics
continue in fair demand, Wool flannels
are in better request and blankets are sell
ling more freely.

The Coffee Trade,

From the New York Bulletin, Nov. G.
In the market for coffee there has
latterly been some weakness, with a falling
off in the demand. The money pressure
has continued, and jobbers seem to have
supplied their wants for the present, so that
business has been very dull, and this fact
has had depressing influence on the mar
ket. The advices from Rio JapeirO have
also been unfavorable, and this has been
an adverse feature. The stock there on
Oct, is was $4,000 bags, against 10000
bags on Oct. /, with 100000 bags on Sept.
Is: with the increase CR stock as shown
above, the price there on Oct. Is was nomi-
nal as was also exchange. These adyices
are unfavOrable, and as a matter Of course,
have had more or less effect. But there has
latterlv been very little business to test the
market, and prices have been nominal at
the figures Of last week. The stocks here
Yesterday, Nov. 6, were 63,12O bags Rio,
against 53,67S bags on Oct. 30; 5,067 bags
other than Rio, against 5.Sll bags on Oct.
30: 7,401 mats, the same as Oh the goth
inst. 1t will be seen that the stock Of Rio
has shown an increase of GAP bags. The
position Of the market for Rio seems I'M
favorable to holders. Money is scarce,
cash buyers do not come forward very
readily, and holders Of coffee, as well as Of
many other descriptions of merchandise,
are cautious in selling on time. To the
embarrassmentS Of IA disturbed state of
finance must be added the present prices
ruling, and it would not be surprising if
these two together had some effect on the
consumption of the article among a certain
class of our population. The failures
among uptown people have involved the
suspension of work in mills for the manu-
facture of cotton and wooden goods. Re
finers of sugar have been working with a
reduced number of hands; retinerS of mo-
laSSes have almost entirely ceased opera
tionS. and all over the country the manu-
featuring interest has received such blow
by the monetary stringency that the work
ing power has had to be very much reduced.
This state Of things necessarily involves
the discharge of large number of people
dependent upon the manufactures for sup
port, and economy will be the necessary
policy of the poorer class of people during
the coming winter. But of course the COM
mon people do not constitute the only con-
sumers of coffee, and there is a large por-
ton of our population who will continue
the use of the article regardless of the
price, and it cannot fairly be said that the
falling off in the consumption among a Ger
tain class of people will have any very
marked effect on prices, but it is matter
that admits of much doubt whether the
market can long maintain its position I'M
der the present financial circumstances.
All this time alone can decide. But prices
of coffee are now the highest ever known,
and does not seem natural to see them sus-
tanned during the present state of affairs.
The following will show a comparison of
highest prices in gold at this date with
those of three years back:

SKILLFUL LABOR.

The more valuable the material the
greater the necessity of skiIlful labor
upon it. Consider gold as an example.
The gold-beater takes a two-ounce in
got, three-fourths of an inch wide, and
beats it into a ribbon one equilibrium
dredth of an inch In thickness by pass
ing it between polished steel rollers.
This he cuts into pieces an inch
square, and places one hundred and
fifty of them in leaves of veIlum piled
one upon the other, How well trained
must be the arm that brings properly
to bear the sixteen.pound hammer upon
this elastic pile until each inch-square
piece has been beaten into a four-inch
square! Each of these squares is then
cut into four pieces, which are placed
between gOld-beaters' skins. beaten
and divided again until two thousand
