It will be seen that the total entered warehouse during the month is much larger than for the same time last year, but the withdrawals show a much greater increase, holders being anxious to crowd off stocks, as money has been scarce and prices daily declining. The total imports at New York since January 1st, are $4,160,649 less than for the same period of last year, but $52,609,120 greater than for the same period of 1852, and $44,757,982 greater than for the same period of 1851. The falling off, in comparison with last year, would be still greater but for the increase in the warehousing business and the receipts of free goods.

Thus, the total receipts of foreign dry goods for October are $2,101,436 less than for October, 1853; $899,621 less than for October, 1852; and only $22,854 greater than for October, 1851.

To show this inore clearly we have thrown into one comparative table the goods entered directly for consumption, and those entered for warehousing, thus showing the total receipts at the port, of each class of goods: TOTAL RECEIPts of foreign DRY GOODS AT NEW YORK FOR TEN MONTHS FROM JANUARY 1ST Total imports.... . . . . $82,440,937 $76,010,277 Decrease.. $6,430,660 The receipts of dry goods are daily diminishing at all the ports, and the total for November will show a still greater comparative decline. The exports from Southern ports have increased, but from New York the shipments of produce for the month show a decline, owing to the high prices, and the continued scarcity of stock. The total shipments in October from the last-named port, exclusive of specie, are $1,325,813 less than for the corresponding month of last year, but $1,051,248 greater than for October, 1852, and $1,949,209 greater than for the same month of 1851, as will appear from the following comparison: EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER.

Enough has, however, been sent to increase the monetary excitement, and add to the severity of the pressure. The total exports of produce and merchandise since January 1st are $2,044,700 greater than for the corresponding period of last year, $14,450,623 greater than for the same period of 1852, and $15,145,213 greater than for the same period of 1851.

We do not look for very large shipments of produce from New York, or any of the Northern ports, before the opening of navigation next spring, but from the Southern ports, and especially from New Orleans, the exports will probably be large during the winter months. We annex a comparison of the shipments of certain leading articles of domestic produce from the port of New York from January 1st to November 18th, inclusive :— EXPORTS FROM NEW YORK TO FOREIGN PORTS OF CERTAIN LEADING ARTICLES OF DOMESTIC PRODUCE, FROM JANUARY 1ST TO NOVEMBER 18TH.

The shipments for the last quarter named include $4,500,000 to Great Britain, and $2,000,000 to France. EXPORTS FROM NEW ORLEANS TO FOREIGN PORTS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30. We do expect this ratio of increase to continue for another quarter, but we do look for large shipments both of cotton and breadstuffs, during the whole of the next five months. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET FOR MONTH ENDING NOVEMBER 17. PREPARED FOR THE MERCHANTS' MAGAZINE BY UHLHORN & FREDERICKSON, BROKERS, NEW YORK. Our market during the entire month under review has been extremely spiritless; the weather for maturing and picking the crop has continued favorable; larger esti mates of the yield have been indulged in; buyers have operated with caution, and with the exception of the moderate demand for the home trade, the inquiry for export has been of a most limited character. The shipments, nevertheless, from first hands have been large, and with increasing stock and a stringent money market, there has been no other outlet to the successive accumulations. The foreign advices received during the month in relation tɔ cotton are but a repetition of those of the month previous, namely, an eagerness on the part of holders to realize, and in consequence, and as usual, classification has been sacrificed to price, in order to obtain a buyer. The demand in our own market has been mostly on spinners' account and for immediate consumption. The few lots bought for export have been on a parity with Liverpool prices, which the irregularity in prices of the last two weeks of the month have caused holders to accept. For the week ending October 27th the sales are estimated at 3,000 bales; buyers obtained a slight advantage in price. Foreign accounts being of a gloomy character, and the large and extensive failures reported in Liverpool and London, induced opertors to act with more caution. Our market closed quietly at the annexed figures: PRICES ADOPTED OCTOBER 27TH FOR THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES: The transactions for the week ending November 3d, continued on a moderate scale at a still further decline. The sales did not exceed 4,000 bales, of which the home trade took a large proportion. Several lots in transitu changed hands; but with the exception of a few purchases for the continental ports, there was but little inquiry for shipment. The market closed at the following rates:— PRICES ADOPTED NOVEMBER 3D FOR THE FOLLOWING QUALITIES :— Ordinary Middling fair Upland. TTTT 11 The sales are estimated at 3,000 bales for the week ending November 10th. The market was very irregular, and holders were anxious sellers, but owing to the favorable reports from the South in regard to the crop, buyers were not disposed to operate, and the principal sales were for domestic consumption. The week closed heavy at the following nominal quotations: |
