NEW YORK AND THE VICINITY, Asorurn Townir is Priors—Dry Goons Con.ararna—Coat Farting - Yesterday gave « freeh impetun to the downward tendency of prices, and #truck consternation into the rants of the ape. culators. Thefa'lin dry goods was quite hoavy, ani thore was every indication that the end had not yet been reached, For example, at the auction dales, bleached cottons which two weeks ago Drought 45 centa sold at 31; brown shoetings which commanded 50 cents, fell to 38; flannels fell from 65 and 70 cents to 44; and in fact all domestic goods experienced a decline of about 25 per cent, Foreign goods also fell considerably, although not too great an extent as domestic manufactures. Beaver overcosting, which two wecks ago sold até! #10» &12 por yard, yesterday brought from #5 tos &7. Every other variety of dry gonla was affected inalike manner. The coal market had also to succumb to the pressure, and the price at the auc- tions, declined an average of about #2.50 from the Taws that ruled a week ago, The Delawura, Lack- awans and Western Railroad Company sould twen- ty-five thousand tons at prices varying from @7 to 88.50. Thia, with other large quantities that are being thrown upon the market, will soon havo the effect of causing a corresponding reduction by , retailers. The contagion of low prices bas not yet reached the ratail produce market to any great extent, Lut the wholesale trade, ax reported in yes- terday's Bun, has been effected equally with other commodities and a favorable remit may soon be expected in the retail line The reduction in coal removes the apprehensions that were felt some time mince, that it would reach an inordinate price during (he approaching winter This fear has probably contributed in no slight de- gree to its fall. It brought thousands of persons Into the market to Iay up a winter supply of coal, and thus, by stimulating prices at @ mornont when coe! is usually cheap, produce 1 an increased guj ply at the mines, which has finally reaulted in a general decline, At the prevent time an immense quantity of coal is stored in the collara of private families in thia city and Brooklyn, mora prob- ably, than was ever before Inid in so enrly in the season. Tho same applies to other cities and towns, The Cincinnati papers boast that consumers in that city have coal enough fn their cellars to last the entire community tll next May. Tho conseqnence 18 @ fall everywhere, Frora the mining region the accounts are favorable to consumers, The Pottsville journal announces heavy shipments, lower prices, and a consequent reduction in the exorbitant rates heretofore paid to miners. If the railroad companies would be con- tent with reasonable profits, and would adopt » moderate scale for transportation, coal would fal! to very nearly one-half the rates that prevailed o month ago.
