Although the architects complain that bus.cess fe at preeeat unusuaily dull, yet the number of buildings Bow in process of erection seems to be as great, if not greater, than at eny former period. Throughout nearly the whoie length of our principal thoroughfares large and commodious storee, generally of white marble, are rapidly euperseding those structures whoee modest brick fronts qpd unpretording style of architecture made bu} a plain appearance ajongside of their more elegant and costly meigh bors. ‘To commence with Broad strect:—Here Meesrs. Ren- wick & Co, have completed, for Mrs. Barr, the store Nos. 6éand 46. Tuis building replaces the anelent erection which, our readers may remember, fell some months since, causing the death of two passers by. It is of brick, with stone facings, and five stories in height. Mr. L. Eidlitz is pow completing the plans for the new Gorn Excbange, is to occupy the entire block bounded by Whit Pearl, Moore and Water streets, ‘This js to be a handsome edifice, built in the Gothic style, with tone facings. at No. 33 Nassau street, Mr. Bogart, builder, is erecting @ eplendid structure, designed principally for the Hanover ‘Bask. This is to be of white marbieand @ve stories in betght. Passitg along to Arn and Beekman streets we find new edtBoes, also of mar sic, and five stories in height, occupy.) tng the site of those Jestroyed by fire last winter, CHAMBERS STREET. ‘Crossing over to Chambers street, we observe the iron ‘edlumns of the first story of a building designed for the store of Mr. J. Wolfe. This is under the supervision of Mr. Soook, architect, and Mr. Winan-, superintendent, ‘and is to be of iron and marble, and five stories in height. Further on, at No, 141, Thomas R. Jackson, architest, is erecting a store for Mr. Martin ; and next door, No. 143, ‘ene for Ellis Potter, Heq. These two last, like that above described, are each to be of white marble, and five stories tm beight. READE STREET. ‘The widening of Reade street has completely changed Me aspect. Never was the truth of the maxim, ‘in union there is strength,” more forcibly vindicated than in the ‘progress of this improvement ; for, although the terms of the contract for widening required but the removal of the front walle of the dilapidated structures which so long Gingraced this street, yet the remaining onee—considera ‘Diy more couscious of their divided weakness than they fermerly were of their united strength—came down of their own accord, making way for the tasteful and elegant edifices which now occupy their places. Among the changes we notice at Nos. 28, 50,32 and 34 Dandsome marbie and iron stores, of five stories, exclusive of basements and undercellars, owned by Messrs. Giles & Bloodgood. Lots Nos. 22, 24 and 26, owned by 4% Stewart, are being excavated for tine five story marble At Nos. 18 and 20, Messrs. Morrel have erected stores ef five stories, with handsomely ornamented marbie fronta. A large and handsome building bas just been finished fer James Conner, the well known type founder, at tho @orner of Reade and Centre streets, iting on Centre. DUANE STREET. ‘The widening of this street, like that of Reade street, bas worked marvels in the styles of architecture which ebaracterized it. At No. 98 we note a large brick build. im process of erection, to be occupied by the New Tee boyd and Printing Worke. This, like the general- ity of the new down town edifices, is to be five stories, ‘with basement and sub-cellars. At Nos, 72, 74 and 76, Messrs. Price & Co. are erecting three five five story marble stores, each twenty-five by feet qe [Schitectural Iron Works have completed several highly ornamental iron buildings for Mr. Paimer. These fare also five stories in height and occupy lols Nos. 75, 17, 70, $1 and 83. At Nos. 68 and 70 are also handsome Duildings built tor Mr. Palmer, by same company. CHURCH STREET ‘also appears to have resolved to throw off her old appear- fence and t) vie with her wel built neighbors. Commenc- ing at Reade street, our attention is first attracted by a fine five stor” building of Nova Scotia stone, which has Just been finished for Mr. Bradshaw ‘On the corner of the same streets, Messrs. Kellum have erected for Harald & Co. three fine stores, Those occu By afront of sixty feet on Church street, ant are five stories in height, exclusive of the large and commodious Dasements which they coutain. ‘On the corver of Church and Duane, a tine five story building has been completed for Messrg.” Baboock. On the corser of Church aad Worth #treets, Samuel Warner, architect, is erecting # building io the Italian style for, and’ to be occupied by, Mesere Claiilin, Mellen & Uo. ‘This, which is intended to be one of the largest structures tm the city, has a front of three hundred and seventy-five fest on Worth, eighty feet ou Church street, aud eighty feet on West Broadway, thus forming the largert street frontege of any store in New York. In the rear is a court yard twenty feet wide, to be used for reveiving and Gelivering goods. The duildiag hax a height of six to ries on West Broadway , although having but five on Church Btreet, the difference in altitude being caused by the as Gending grade between the two last mentinoed streots of ‘Worth street. The whole area of the building itself, as well as that of the court yard, is excavated for vaults. ‘The beating of ihe building i to be by steam, and the hoisting spparatus worked by the same agent. Tue whole front, with the exception of the lower story, which is of iron, will be of fine Dorchester stone. CANAL STREET.’ Nos, 261, 263, 266 and 267 Canal etreet, the site of the @}4 French Catholic church, lately removed to Twenty third street, are now occupied by the splendid white marble edifice, built for Messrs. Devlin, the well known clothiers. The of this erection, Which consists of five rtories, attic, basements and sub-cellars, were fur nished by Mr. Wall. The builders are Messrs. Bunteo & Hamiton ‘Adjoining, at No, 269, Mr. Kellum | erecting a marble Store, it @ to be Six stories, with Lasemen:s and sub. erecting, at No.j304, for J.

Spice is erecting jiding of Ove stoPies, with an Ion 16 Mercer: the froat is to be of white marble and tron. The space con- tained within this |. ws also 10 be occupied by a five story marble and iron building, thirty feet by seventy five, de Bigned for Mr. Amos Eno. ‘At No. 19 Mercer Mr. A. E. Aeitbaus is erecting a Gne marbie and iron building, to be occupied by himself. Nos. 21, 23 and 25 are occupied by five story marble Duudings, owned by E. H. Gillen. BROADWAY. ‘The alterations which this great thoroughfare has been far, we were almost tempted to say as far as ever, from completion. Commencing at the lower end of the Park if wo walk towards Grace charch, at almost dlock the coup d'el is diversified by buildings ab ail of erection. The first which attracts our attention is to bea large story marble edifice, the plaus of which were drawn ‘Thomas & Co., one door north of Park place, ‘Next we notice the foundation of « building, intended the Importers’ and Traders’ Bank, oa the site of the Ball, Black & Co, It is % be of marble and Reade street i now progressing, under the rupe: AR.

Algo, by the same, four stores are being erected at the corner’ ot Heater and Mott streets. The owner is Mr. ‘Theraseon, the builder Mr. Brus! Mr. Winthrop is erecting a five story building on Lyd- low strect, near Stanton. CHURCHES. ‘The most important and prominent edifico under this head in our city is the new Catholic cathedra!, which has been progressing rapidly during the past year, The foun- dation, which consists of blocks of stone varying in weight from one to four tons, has all been laid. Before laying it, however, the rock was found im all cases, and levelled and cut into steps to receive the first course, it beimg found necessary m many insiances to go as much as twenty feet below ‘the surface line in order to secure a proper support for 80 great @ building. Upon this foundation the wails, of the purest white marble, bare been commenced and carried hd to an average boight of twelve feet all around, the higbest point beipg seventeen feet above the platform from which the building — The doors and invrior columns are of cut marble, finished im the most careful manner, and we believe that no cther work in this country bas been more carefully, or even as carefully, executed as that of our new cathedral, so far as the same bas progressed. It bids fair to be, when finished, the greatest ecclesiastical structure of modern times, Grace eburch chapel bas been erecied thus far by votun' contributions. It bas been, therefore, the objest of the architect, Mr. Renwick, to produce a effect, worthy of the subject, and the of - tecture in America, without great expenditure. The front of the building, therefyre, bas been built of red und yellow brick, inlaid with marble and encaustic tile, no cut stoue having been used except for weathering or other purposes where it was absolutely necessary. The building is in the Italian Gothic style, resembling in out- line the eatbedral of Orvieto, tn the Papal States. The front is sixty feet six inches wide, and is divided by buttreeses into three compartments, or bays, the centre one of which is of moulded and cut bricks, with cut stone caps, over which is @ magnificent circular window, enclosed in brick jams, with the walls in- tuid at the angles with black and white marble. The centre gable over this has also a circular window, iulaid in the same manner, and the whole is crowned with a handsome finial. The bays on each side of the centre aro arranged much on the eame plan as the centre, and the whole front is richly pannelled with colored brickwork. The work- manship of the front reflects great credit on Mr. Joseph Smith, the mason. The interior of the building is sixty-two feet wide and one hundred and ten feet long. ‘The basement will coptain the Sunday school and lecture room. The church proper, above the basement, which is to Delighted bys ekylight extending pearly the whole — of the building, is divided by columns into three aisles, with a carved and Fasneled cuiing of wood, and galleries on either side. entire interior wil! afford sitting room for twelve hundred persons, and it is the in- tention of those who have contributed to this noble un- dertaking to make the seats free. ‘St. Mark’s chapel, now erecting on the north side of Forty-eighth street, weet of Sixth avenue, is to be built in the Italian round style. The arehitects, Mesars. Renwick, Achmutz & Sende, being limited im the cost of the work, have determined to build it entirely of brick, which is perbape in better taste than the usual method of posing a stone frovt to a brick building. The front will be yellow, red and black bricks, with cut stone and ‘weather mouldings. The whole building will be sixty-six feet wide by one hundred fect in depth. The interior will be divided into three aisles, and the roof #0 tiuished as to show the timbers on the iuside, after the mauner of the old masters in architecture; the whole interior will be richly painted in polychrome. ‘The lecture room, Sanday school rooms anc library will be in the basement, and the builéing will seat about cleven hundred. It is erected by the Vestry of St. Mark’s as a chapel to their cburch. Under this head we maj include the Jewish syna gogne now being erected in Nineteenth etreet, aear Fifth avenue, under the supervision of Mr. Mook, architect. This building, which ig seventy feet wide and eighty long, with a front of Dorchester stone, is in the Paladian sty! of architecture, in two orders, The auditorium, which is Fituated on the second floor, i reached by four ditferent #taircases, and is surmounted by a dome fifty-six feet in diameter, constructed in thy most eubstantial manner of iron.

The building is for the congregation of Sherith Israel, who formerly woreltipped tn Crosby street. A NEW MUSIC HALL, corner of Irving piace and Fifteenth street, has recently been commenced; is is to be seventy-five feet on Irving place, and one hundred and twenty-two on Fifteenth street, The auditorium is seventy-one feet wide, ninety five fect long and thirty-five fect high, and is surrounded by a large gallery, and occupies the first floor of the build- ing, which in front is thres stories high. The dressing rooms are on the second and third floors, and the base- ment contaios a large supper room, as well as smaller private ones. The buil is era brick, and the prinetpal floor is bu: feet above street, #0 a8 to afford a speedy exit in case of panic or fire.

Turspay, August 1i—6 P. M. ‘The following is a comparative statement of the exports, exclusive of specie, from New York to foreign ports for the week and since January 1:— 1898. 1859. 1860. For the week...... + $963,116 = 1,574,468 1,804,055 Previously reported.38,952,202 38,862,970 52,932,857 Since Jan 1.... .. $39,915,402 40,437,438 64,826,915 As usual, the statement shows an increase over previous years—the aggregate increase to date being, at present, over $14,400,000—say fifteen per cent. Included in the above statement is an item of about $450,000 worth of wheat and flour shipped to Great Britain, at prices which net the shipper a fair profit. Money is reported dull to-day by the brokers; the fact is, the inclement weather, of which we have had so little this season, operated against business. Rates have not changed, but the recent check to speculation on the stock market, together with the above mentioned cause, had rather a tendency to diminish the inquiry, and toward the close of busi- ness hours lenders had more money over than usual. The last bank statement is favorably viewed; but to do any good, the banks should persevere in their policy of curtailment. The Sub-Treasury to- day did a small business; the receipts were $140,266, of which $136,000 from customs; the payments, $169,566; the balance $5,691,395. Afair business has been done in foreign ex- change for the Asia, which sails to-morrow for Liverpool. The rates at the foreign banking houses are, for sterling, 109{ a 110 for 60 days, and 110} a { for short sight; for francs, 5.13} a 14j for 60 days, and 5.10§ for short sight. Mercantile bills are scarce and in demand. Gold keeps up; but some of the foreign houses have been buyers, and a ship- ment of $600,000 or $700,000 will be made to-mor- row inthe Asia. The Saturday steamers will also take out a fair shipment. ‘There was more business done to-day than yes- terday at the Stock Exchange, but prices, as a general rule, tended downward. The bear party appears to be fairly organized, and commenced operations openly this morning by pretty general sales and pretty vigorous hammering. The bear argument is that stocks have risen too much for the substantial improvement that has been effected in the properties represented; that the public has not recovered confidence, and that the roads are in reality but little better than they were in 1857. The bull argument is that the crop of 1860, whichis now known to be by far the largest ever garnered, will give to all the roadsas much business—first, in freight and then in passengers—as they can do, and will thus enable them to resume the payment of dividends; they also say that, much as stocks have risen, they are still fer below the figures of 1855, "6 and "7. Between these two opinions the reader must decide. The Western shares were all weaker this morning. Illinois Central sold at 80, Rock Island at 81), Galena at 78, Toledo at 44, Mi- chigan Southern guaranteed at 43}, and commen at 19, After the call a slight improvement upon these prices was realized; the last rates are given below. Central was higher; it sold at 864, closing 864 bid. We are authorized to state that no proceedings have been or will be taken by the Attorney Gene- ral to obtain an injunction against the dividend. The idea, by whomsoever it was entertained, has been definitely abandoned; the Attorney General, who retarned to-day to Albany, says he never en- tertained any such intention. Hudson and Erie were steady; Harlem, both kinds, fell off 1 percent. The business in bonds continues brisk, and desira- ble bonds are every day becoming scarcer in the market. State stocks do not vary. This after- noon the market was better, and stocks closed firm at the following quotations:—Vir- ginia 6's, 91 4; Missouri 4's, $1] a 62; Canton, Tha New York Central, 86) 9 4: Erie, 253 a 26; Hudson River, 58.0}; Har- lem, 18] a 19; do. preferred, 48 a j; Reading, 46 a 4; Michigan Central, 664}; Michigan Southern and Northern Indiana, 20} 9 }; do. guaranteed, 444.0 3; Panama, 1234; Iinois Central, 82{ a}; Galena and Chicago, 79 a 4; Cleveland and Toledo, 449 a 45; Chicago and Rock Island, 82). We conversed to-day with a resident of Chicago who has lately come in from the West. He reports that the people in the East have no idea of the re- volution that the crop is producing in the Western States. Many farmers who sowed last fall and last spring, and calculated on a harvest, under favora- ble circumstances, of 20,000 bushels grain, will harvest 40,000. The yield of wheat per acre along the line of the Galena will, on the forest lands, be 25 bushels, while the best lands will yield over 40; the corn yield throughout Ilinots will vary from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre. Mr. McCormick, the inven- tor of the reapers, has sold this fall 4,000 reapers to the farmers of the neighborhood of Chicago. Should the price of wheat at Chicago not fall be- low 80 cents per bushel, our informant estimates that 12,000,000 bushels will arrive at that point be- tween the 16th of August and 15th of October. We note already that yesterday, 13th, the receipts at Chicago were 300,000 bushels of grain. The prices obtained by the roads for carrying erain are gene- rally satisfactory. It will be noticed that the ad- vices from Europe, via Quebee, report a continua- tion of unfavorable weather for the crops. The exchanges at the Bonk Clearing House this Morning were $21,921,778 5€, and the balances $1,- 282,840 34, The Home Inearance Company has declared a dividend of x per cent, payable on demand, By lished to-day, it will be seen that its assets now amount to $1,481,819 27, while the claima upon it for outstanding losses are only $54,068 87 “he earnings by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad line in the first week of August were:— 39, Inc. 24,316 He} Dec, 212 Total eeess+eeee ss $26,162 49,205 Inc. 24,063 The agreement under which the five trank lines will work, after October 8, is substantially as fol- lows:— 1, No to em ruppers or to solicit pas- sclaneaatan ees ee St ee oe vies ing a agents. 2.
