Sax Fraxemeo, Nov. 8, 1854, Less activity has existed in the jobbing trate, ‘hoogh the beats for the luterior left port with full corgoes, the bulk of which, however, had been pur- chased before the advance of yesterday in freightcharges. It is obvious that this advance has exerted a restrain- ing influence on purchases, nor is it a matter of surprise that such should be the eas vowe heretofore observed, the ai interior has already far exceeded and it fs but reasonable to loo! At the almost no charge of one dollar per to gether with the red by our dealers, vt is not a subject of wonder that country mer chants should have bonght heavily, It be hoped that they may find equal facilit nieeting their engagoments witl those trom whom they have so liberally purchased. It may be fairly estimated, | wethink, that within the last thirty days a full half year’s supply of the leading articles of trae has been sent to the interior, so that should some delay be expe- rienced by our merchants in effecting the full liquidation Mf bills, H need not be regarded as othier than ‘a. logiti- result of the extensive credit businoss recently transacted. There continues, however, a good demand for many articles of merchandise in first hands. The excitement of the recent heavy trade, it is to be feared, may survive | le trade itself, and leave fu jobbers’ hands an unneces- | sary surplusage of goods. These, too, purchased at the went ruling rates, may ultimately entail serious loxs the iuabiifty of their holders to dispose of them in season, excepting at reduced rates, It is to behoped that the advices goingforward bythe pre- | ent steamer may be regarded on the other side in their | proper light, and that the advanced rates of many articles | which have latterly obtained, may not again induce inor- dinate shipments. A drooping winter trade will be pro- | ductive of sufticicnt discouragement, without the pros- | pect before ux of heavy and inordinate floods of merchan- | dise in the spring—a state of afluirs thero is too much | reason for apprelending. } "LouR—In the market for superfine Richmond, there | Is more firmness; and even the present monetary pres- sure has produced no disposition to realize for steamer | day.
