Wonderful Scene OF Activity tn lew York
City.
New York. Sept. 6-The World of this
morning says: The general trade of the city
during the past week was again very active
and the distribution of merchandise from
this point to various stations of the country
WIS enormous in volume. Probably the

goods where business for the week may be
said to have been larger than that OF tie
previous week and without any precedent in
the history of the trade Buyers were from
all parts OF the country, although those from
the south were largely n the majority. Bus
iness with the commission merchants was
fair, but the jobhers were pushed to an ex-
tent that Decesstated e full employment of
their forces, not only during the day but far
into the night. Broadway and eide streets,
W ie.ein jobbing houses are largely located,
presented busy tcenes For blocks the side
walks were covered with cases OF merchandise
turned out for shipmept, ard 1t seemed as II
the business of the city was being conducted
in the streets rather than in doors. The
electric lights were brough- into rrquistion.
and altogether such scenes of activity and
animation were ever before witnessed in

NEW YORK, Sept the Herald, comment
ing upon the partial failure of French and
Rhine wines this season, says: Californians
ought to be able to sell q large parl of their
wine crop to The Germans this year and to the
