Our readers will of course all be interested to know the value of the stock which had accumulated in bonded warehouses, at New York, on the 1st of July, and we have carefully compiled a statement which may be relied on as correct. The total is not larger than might have been expected, considering the scarcity of money and the inducement to await the operation of the new tariff, which provided for an important reduction in duties. The following is the summary :- The total value in bond June 1st, was... $27,343,498 11,540,136 116 $38,888,750 $781,099 573,077 591,306 $1,945,482 $36,938,268 12,612,631 13,543,121 This shows that the stock, on the 1st of July, was nearly thirty-seven million dollars. The receipts for cash duties, during the first nine days of July, were $2,013,969; but a part of the withdrawals were free, and only a few goods have been bonded, so that the decrease in stock since July 1st, is a little over ten million dollars. We have given above the total imports at New York for various periods, but we also annex our comparative summary of the receipts of dry goods, all of which are included in the general total. The imports of dry goods at New York for the month of June, 1857, were $1,471,132 less than for June, 1856, $489,083 greater than for June, 1855, and $984,307 less than for June, 1854, as will appear from the following comparison :— IMPORTS OF FOREIGN DRY GOODS AT NEW YORK FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. Total thrown on the market.. $3,932,089 $3,026,386 $4,518,740 $508,275 Total entered at the port..... 4,688,433 3,215,043 5,175,258 3,704,126 It will be seen that only a very small portion of the receipts for June have been entered for consumption, nearly all having been thrown into warehouse to await the reduction of duties, which went into effect July 1st. The total receipts of foreign dry goods at the port of New York, for the six months just ended, are $693,805 less than for the first six months of 1856, but $10,230,823 greater than for the same period of 1855, and $2,306,330 greater than for the same period of 1854.

The following table will show the comparative increase or decrease in each month of the last, as compared with the previous, fiscal year : RECEIPTS OF DRY GOODS FOR TWELVE MONTHS ENDING JUNE 30, 1857, COMPARED WITH Many of our readers may like to know precisely in what description of goods the changes noted above have taken place, and we have therefore compiled a little table which gives at a single glance the whole imports of dry goods for the year. as compared with the preceding two years:— IMPORTS OF DRY GOODS AT NEW YORK FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30. All eyes are now directed to the future, but it is yet too soon to predict the course of trade for the ensuing year. From present indications it is not probable that the receipts for the next six months will be as large as for the corresponding period of 1856; but we look for a large and active trade during the first six months of 1858. The following will show the total receipts for cash duties, at the port of New York, for the different periods named in our import statement: The exports from New York to foreign ports for the month of June are larger in specie, but less in produce, than the very large shipments for the same period of last year. The total, inclusive of specie, is $2,232,353 less than for June, 1856, but $1,399,094 more than for June, 1855, and $1,408,250 more than for June, 1854: EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. The total exports from New York to foreign ports, exclusive of specie, since January 1st, are $1,409,315 less than for the first six months of 1856, $6,230,881 more than for the same period of 1855, and $4,346,780 more than for the same time in 1854. The exports, including specie, are larger than for any similar period:-- EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR SIX MONTHS, FROM JANUARY 1ST. Total exports........ $50,500,801 $49,505,628 $55,339,389 $61,059,776 Total, exclusive of specie... 34,814,934 32,430,833 40,071,029 38,661,714 The exports for the last fiscal year, are larger, both in specie and produce, than for any former year upon our record. The total, exclusive of specie, is $2,271,457 larger than for the last year, $19,934,635 larger than for the year ending June 30th, 1855, and $8,967,386 larger than for the year ending June 30th, 1854: 1855. 1856.

Nearly two-thirds of the imports for the United States are landed at New York, but only about one-third of the exports shipped from thence, the bulk of the cotton going forward from the South. We do not think that the total imports at all the ports of the United States for the last year can greatly exceed the total exports, while the probability is that the latter will be found in excess when the returns are received. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET FOR THE MONTH ENDING JULY 24, 1857. PREPARED FOR THE MERCHANTS' MAGAZINE BY CHARLES W. FREDERICKSON, BROKER, NEW YORK. At the date of my last monthly report (June 19) middling uplands were quoted at 14c., and New Orleans at 14gc. The same descriptions are now worth 15 a 154c., other grades in proportion. Without any active export demand-unaided even by speculation-the advance noted above may be ascribed mainly to the demand of our own spinners, who have been the principal purchasers during the past month. The small receipts at the South, and the favorable foreign advices have, no doubt, aided the holder's position in his demands. The quantity on sale during the month has been moderate, and grades suitable for spinning have been obtained only at outside figures. Prices at the South continue to advance with each succeeding week, and the prospect for a continuation of high prices flattering to the planter. The time seems certainly to have arrived when the South may dictate its own terms to those who are troubled about the "growth and supply of cotton." For the week ending June 26th our market, under foreign advices favorable to the article, and the advancing tendency in price at the receiving ports, was active, |
