FALL TRADE PROSPECTS.
New YORK Heruld. september 90 +

New York Herald. September COL
The dullest hypocrit could discern tbs
signs Of the times in New York to-day.
Crowded cars and stages, no less crowded
stores and sidewalks. OVERLOOKING hotels,
overloaded drays, and overfreighted trains
and steamboat. all attest the activity OF
walking up Broadway at midnight during the
past four weeks might have thought that this
portion OF New York never went to rest.
Scarcely block between the postoflice and
Union Square but had Its open stores and
piles OF merchandise upon the sidewalks
busy clerks aud sweating draymen, at hours
when ordinary citizens were fast asleep. What
Is true Of the metropolis Is more or less true
Of the entire country. New York Is barome-
ter OF national trade, and almost everybody
within Its liIuits is working hard, and is being
paid for 1t. The docks and store-houses along
the river front were never put to harder SER
vice since the busy days OF the American
merchant marine before the rebellion. The
river and coasttng steamers come and go with
freight OF every description. The eye that Is
native to the harbor aud familiar with the
names OF vessels trading here vii to-day find
vessels stalking In loads Of grain and cattle
that were never before In the, American trade
aud that have been brought now into requi-
elton to meet unparalleled demands.
The total exports from New York alone,
not including specie, for the week ending
September IS were $7,627, SIG. This Is an in-
crease over the exports Of the week before Of
for the present year, added to the week above
given, makes o total showing Of 1924 COG, 4S1.
The same period In 1877 shows exports
amounting only to 1896 344,5 500. In 1878, how
ever, tor corresponding PERIOD the total ex-
ports, inclusive Of specie, from this port ex-
eeeded those Of this year by about $12, 600;
but prominent shippers opine that the record
Of the entire year will much more than wipe
out this decline. Among the exports of last
week were over 100000 bushels Of wheat,
more than | 900 900 bushels of corn, nearly
100000 pounds Of cut meats. 1,5O0, 900 pounds
OF butter, over 100000 pounds OF cheese
mOte than 2,0OO, 900 pounds of lard, and over
6.500,000 gallons OF petroleum. OF the $1,000
900 i'll exports for the week, S749,95 were Ill
rected to London, St,774244 to Liverpool.
about S250,0O0 each to Bremen, Hamburg,
and Havre.
For the eight weeks ending September 10,
1879, export eIearanees Of wheat for Europe
ton, Portland, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
New Orleans were 80, 2G9,o32 bushels, against
I'll 1905 for the corresponding eight weeks
of the previous year.
England will want say 30,00O00O bushels OF
wheat this year" said t. H. Walker, the sta
istician of the Produce Exchange. Sin ex-
change for that we shall get from England
very nearly $50, 100000 in gold. The move
nent Of wheat In the United States for the
last six weeks has been greater than for
81, simlar r, period In any country Of the
AXE ports to New York for eight weeks |
las been 5O,O0O,00O bushels. About one half
u this yet remains to be shipped 1t Is one
way for accounting for the vast impertations |
# specie that have lately come to America | |
lave given you the figures to account In q |
arge degree for the briskness OF trade In New |
FORK this fall"
The railroad depots In and near New York |
re o subject worth the study Of political |
economist. The number and character of
passengers arriving will convince even the I
arcless observer Of the prosperous condition
i things in all parts Of the country. When
leopie have money to spend they travel, and
when people have money TO invest they come |
o such point as New York to obtain their
FOODS Instead Of sending for them. Said
downtown merchant to the reporter: 1.-THE
lotels of New York are full because the peo-
lie Of the South ami West feel that they can
ford the trip" The great express compa-
lies will tell the inquirer at their offices that
heir business was never better. The reporter
vas told by representative of the Adams
express Company that their business has
'een Increasing steadily for three years,
nut more especialy in the last season. "The
xpress traffic., said he, so far as the guam
tion Of business. The very fact Of flush
INES Induces people to visit central points
or the purchase OF small articles which they
night otherwise send for by express, but the
haracter OF the goods that we have lately
een shipping Is plainly evident Of the I'M
rovement Of trade. Just now the express
are carrying an unusual amountof
GODS to the South and West. We have had
othing like 1t in many years.
The hotel business tells the story more con-
incingly than perhaps any other line Of OBJ
arvation. All the leading caravansarles are
Ill to Overlooking, and have been SO for six
7eeks.. Five nights out OF seven Ia that
eriod they have bad to turn away guests for
1hom they could not provide accommoda-
on. The question naturally occurs what
ecomes Of the unaecommodatsd? And the
My answer Is that they 90 to second and
lird rate houses. Inquiries at the Fifth
VENUE 81. Nicholas, metropolitan and the
stol House. which get large share OF mer-
hant patronage, proved that each one of ;
lem has been habitually turning guests from
8 doors for month back, and Ia them all
cry large and UNUSUAL percentage OF their
ltumn guests have hailed from the South.
