The New York Herald, Of yesterday,
thus discusses the prospects of the Fall
trade:
"The Fall dry goods trade has fairly
opened. Western and Southern mer-
chants are making their purchases, and
elsewhere will be found detailed account
of the condition and prospects Of this i'm.
portunt branch of trade, compelled from
the statements of leading business houses
to reporters OF the HeraM
The inquiries thus made within
few days show AN extreme
ly satisfactory condition Of trade
The fall business doing by the
wholesale dry goods merchants i uncN-
pcctcdly large. Several Of the leading
houses cXprc>- their surprise at its cy-
tent, and say that trade has not been 80
good for five years past. But il Is not
only that there Is Il iiyclicr demand and
that BUYERS are more numerous. The
most gratifying feature OF this revival "t
business j. that, according 10 the general
testimony, the merchants from the in.
terror who have come here to lay m
their stocks are very careful and prudent
purchasers. They have made their pay
mcut- for spring purchases with unusual
promptnc>s. The losses by bad debts are
trihing and much less than for equal pc
riudS during some Years past. There l.
evidence that stocks o! goods IN the
country are low. and buyer, are taking
advantage Of low price, to lay III new
supplies. The business appear IN all 1t,
features to be- In healthy condition, and
the more prudent and conservative
house begin 10 believe that there
is real and active revival of trade
winch means, of course, drsir" ~ tn
people To buy, united with AN ability 10
pay for goods. "LJwcr prices have no
doubt their share in this revival ot trade,
but il seems to be n special feature Of the
iul. business that the country merchants
are selecting their stocks with unusual
care. The desire for economy evidently
continues in the country and instead OF
buying wildly. as III some years, and
taking the risk Of beng able 10 sell and
- make their settlements ut tine proper
time, they now buy cautiously, expect to
pay promptly and ask for but moderate
credits. Al. this l. very satisfactory. 1t
argue, precisely such Il return toward
prosperity "a, viii put H. On sound basis.
"Wc are evidently past the period OF
inflated prices; the country has settled
down to ., .owcr range; products ana m.
comes have begun IL square with each
other; and it is Il curious sign OF the
course of our bu-lur-, and production
under lower prices, that our export %!

-idcrably more than doubled during the
pa-t wear. II amounted, IN 1871, to Sis
90, and tor the present year I" ?o92-
40. according tu an Official report which

even the larger sum j, but trll",

ton goods, almost entirely from Great
Britain. But il !, satisfactory {" .rr
even a sight evidence that some Of our
product, are once more finding markets
abroad in inrrca-Iu" quantities.
"Thr retail dry goods trade seems also
To- be- unrommonly active just now, and
it ha, the same characteristic features oi
the wholesale trair-caUijou in buyer
