| Transcript | Dry Goods Market New York, Tuesday, October 15. The general movement of merchandise from agents' hands has been light and the demand not as lively as desired; but, as we have remarked several times recently, Tuesday is now looked upon as the slowest day of the week, and to be other than quiet at this season of the year would be unnatural. The feature of the market to-day was the auction sale of the Weybosset Mills 3-4 and 6-4 fancy cassimeres, details of which will be found further on. The market has been alive with buyers of woolen [woollen?] goods, drawn hither through the sale above referred to, and while some business has resulted from the attention extended to general stocks, more is sure to follow. The cotton goods market has ruled very quiet, and while some movement has resulted through deliveries of goods sold ahead, selections have been restricted to the most urgent wants. The shipments of domestics to foreign markets for the week we annex in detail, though they show less than at our last returns. The exports of domestic cottons from this port to foreign ports for the week ending October 15 have been as follows: Value Pkgs To Bremen...............................$1,946 7 To Antwerp.............................. 470 8 To Dutch West Indies................... 551 8 To Trieste.............................. 850 9 To London................................ 700 12 To Hamburg.............................. 1,510 12 To Glasgow.............................. 1,640 26 To Argentine Republic................... 1,604 27 To Danish West Indies................... 4,538 39 To British West Indies.................. 1,617 42 To British North American Colonies..... 4,125 43 To Hayti................................ 2,786 43 To Japan................................ 2,900 50 To Venezuela............................ 4,461 81 To Brazil............................... 9,006 95 To United States of Columbia............28,208 316 To Liverpool............................27,312 372 Total for the week................ £89.227 1,190 Previously reported..............5,374,221 84,821 Total since January 1878.............$5,463,448 86,011 Same time in 1877.....................5,057,889 74,235 Same time in 1876.....................4,332,602 56,064 Same time in 1875.....................2,090,653 24,593 Same time in 1874.....................1,238,754 16,060 Same time in 1873.....................1,174,462 13,340 Same time in 1872.......................917,754 9,400 Same time in 1871.....................1,157,819 14,883 Same time in 1870....................13,127 Same time in 1869....................18,337 Same time in 1868....................16,871 Same time in 1867....................10,128 Same time in 1866.....................5,890 Same time in 1865.......................160 Same time in 1864.....................1,123 Same time in 1863.....................2,700 Same time in 1862.....................8,898 Same time in 1861....................52,686 Same time in 1860........$4,507,525 77,800 Same time in 1859....................58,844 Same time in 1858....................50,329 Same time in 1857....................24,586 Same time in 1856....................82,701 Same time in 1855....................22,736 Same time in 1854................... 20,284 Same time in 1853....................27,387 Same time in 1852....................89,980 Same time in 1851....................34,284 Same time in 1850....................28,977 Same time in 1849....................21,641 Same time in 1848....................40,092 From Boston for the week............... 193 Previously reported................14,560 Total since January 1,1878...........14,753 Same time in 1877....................13,890 Same time in 1876....................28,386 Same time in 1875....................12,5-6 Same time in 1874....................11,137 Same time in 1873.................... 5,560 Same time in 1872.....................4,610 Same time in 1871....................10,568 Same time in 1870.....................5,052 Same time in 1869.....................6,512 Same time in 1868.....................7,484 Same time in 1867.................... 6,811 Same time in 1866.....................6,117 Same time in 1865..................... 185 Same time in 1864.......................211 Same time in 1863.......................318 Same time in 1862.....................8,662 Same time in 1861....................17,492 Same time in 1860....................80,482 Same time in 1859....................20,729 Same time in 1858....................24,674 Same time in 1857....................19,890 Same time in 1856....................82,404 Same time in 1855....................25,142 Same time in 1854................... 28,418 Same time in 1853....................49,478 Same time in 1852....................52,615 Same time in 1851....................89,099 Same time in 1850....................28,385 Same time in 1849....................31,154 From other ports....................$14,677 254 Previously reported.............. 126,586 2,105 Total..............................$141,263 2,359 5 which is an article on the "Curiosities of the Export Trade" which gives some interesting figures. I also enclose a statement of our exports of Cotton goods. You speak of the "Monetary Crochets" of our people. Your term is too mild. Few people have ever been condemned to the rascally mis-government that we suffer from. If we could only shut up congress, and allow, money, trade and everything else, to work out alone from our present difficulties we would soon, I believe take the first place as a commercial nation. Our business is bad and I am getting very blue about it. We are quite well Mary is at Deux with some friends. She has been remarkably well all summer. With much love to your Mother Annie Cousin Jane and all of you believe me afftly [affectionately?] yours Roland Redmond Transcribed by Liam Boyd |
