fataems, or little over two-and-a hair miles.—
It was at this time that signals to Valentia be
came uninteligible, and gradually ceased. The
Times infers that the disaster occurred after
the cable left the vessel, from tho fact that it
was unknown to those on board who were
signaling their messages as usual, when their
signals became unintelligible at V-alentia, and
at last ceased entirely. As to the chances of
recovering the impaired part of the cable, and
repairing it, it may be said that this process
could not be accomplished at the rate of more
than quirte-of a mile per hour, which the
slightest wind or rough sea wmild at cuce put
an end to. For such eventualities the Great
E istern is amply provided. She has several
buoys on board equal altogether to fifty tuns,
and she has at least five miles of powerful wire
buoy rope, which can support all that the
buoys themseives can float. This effort to
buoy, however, will not ha resorted to till the
last extremity, owing to the danger and im
probability of finding tho cable again.

Dry Goods in R’ew York
Abetter feeling has obtained in the market,
and prices are again firmer. The demand has
increased for goods. Cottoa Prints are very
active at steady high prices. Tho stock is light
in first hands, and* receipts are readily taken
up. Bleached Shirtings and Sheetings, of
standard market are active and firm, and sell
to arrive. The lower grades aie dull and
heavy. Brown goods are iu moderate demand
and prices are steady, though the supply is on
the increase. Drills are in light stock and in
steady demand. Canton Flannels are firm
and wanted: Striper are in fair demand, and
prices unchanged. Ticks are quiet and steady.
Delaines are very brisk ot sale, and the
seasonable styles are nearly closed out after a
very heavy production. Prices are steady.
'1 he sales have been unusually large. Shawls
have commanded a large sale this week at
regular and steady prices, which are tending
upward as the stock diminishes. In fancy
Cassicneres all heavy goods of desirable styles

The importations are getting large, and a

American Securities In Europe.
With reference to American securies Sat
terthwaite's London Circular says :
We have to report a dull and delining mar
ket for London and American securities dur
ing the past week. This has been induced
partly by shipments of stock received from
America, and partly by sales on continental
account, where maikets have been very flat
and almost daily declining. United States
five-twenty bonds have given way to 70, Illi
nois shares to 88, and Erie 52J, and from these
points there has been only a slight reaction in
five-twenties and Illinois, while for Erie we
note daring the last few days an active in
quiry, many parties appearing as buyers can the
expectatiaa of a good dividend, and deeming
present quotations low for a line Laving such
large receipts. They close very Btroag at 54*
New York Tobacco and Cotton Market Circular
Messrs. Maude & Wright have furnished us
with the circular of Messrs. Norton, Slaughter
& Cos, of New York, for August 10. Annexed
we give extracts from the same :
Leaf Tobacco.—At the commencement of
the month the market was rather inactive, but
towards the close there was a very geo 1 demand
for Lugs and Medium Leaf, with sales for the
month of about 6,000 hhds, chiefly for Govern
ment contracts. Sales of the better descriptions
of Leaf were email, and holders of these kinds
have been, and still are, very firm. Our infer
rnation from the West is, that the season so far
has been very favorable for the growing crop;
but all agree in the opinion that the crop
planted is a very small one. We quote in gold:

Tobacco Manufactured —Towards the close
of the month, the market assumed a more ac
tive tone, resulting in sab s of-about 7.000
packages, mostly tax paid 10s at from 40 to 57,
according to condition. The demand for Bright
work is fair, at 75 to 90. Natural Leaf, 1.10 to
1,25. Black, 10sJ pounds iu bond 15 to 20,
with limited demand. Ttie receipts of Biact
work from Virginia are mostly and imaged, and
can be sold at extremely low prices Virginia

very handsome. We quote :

Cotton. —For the first week of the month
the market was inactive and unsettled, prices
ranging from 44 to 47 for middlings, in anti-i
patiou ot Government Auction Sates of 2 090
bales which was held on the 11th, and at
which speculators and sp nners became excited,
and forced prices up to 63. These prices were
not sustained fully during the following week
private sales being fully one cent lower; but
the market maintained its firmness and activity
at 50*61 until the 17th, when Liverpool ad
vices were received, quoting a dull and heavy
market, with a decline of on American cat
tons. This news immediately depressed the
market fully two cents on all grados; and on
the 20th another large gpvernment sale of
7,000 bales induced a still further heaviness
and a decided disinclination in buyers to ope
rate. The market showed no signs of rallying
until the 29th. when news of a firm and advan
cing Liverpool market reached us. This affoi and
ing a better probable margin for shipners, they
commenced operations briskly, and thus
strengthened and elevated prices to 48, nt
which the market closed firmly on The 31st
Sales of the mouth (not including government
sales) 54,070 bales. Receipts for the month,
69,927 bales, of which 10 000 were received
28:h and 29th. Shocks about 60,000 bales

The Market —The business of the past week
has been fair. Large quantities of goods con
tinue to arrive, and the market is well sup
plied, and with the exception of bacon there
has been no advance in prices. The large
quantities of flour which arrived the past week
has caused this article to become dull with a
downward Tendency. The dry goods market
has also been well supplied, and although
there is but little change in prices since last
week's quotations, yet the market is dull and
we may look for a slight declino the coming
week. The family grocery market is well sup -
plied and prices remain quiet,
Cotton —The market is exceedingly dull.
The highest prioo that we have heaid of being
paid the last few davs is 33 cents, although
34 cents could possibly be obtained for a su
perior article. A few hales arrive daily
Gold.— Under the constant importation of
gold into tb f s city, the price has declined.
Still it is high enough to be the cause of much
irregularity in trade. Merchants themselves,
in some cases, in the city are in the habit of
having two prices, one for gold and the other
for U, S. currency. This has a tendency to
beget distrust in the latter. Faimers, also
prefer gold to their own Injury when they
sell their cotton. Silver change which was
plentiful a few weeks ago has almost entirely
disappeared from circulation. These things
have a tendency toput upprioes. Gold $1.47.
Silvei $1,35.

Auguwt 4,
Cotton.— There is an active demand for thia
article. The market opened with gates at
4'tc for prime lots, down to 38c tor fair.
These prices were maintained until y asterday,,
when sales we’e made at 44c. lor prime lots at:
tbe close of the week. Tho market was easier,
at a decline cl lc. per pound, although holders
were unwilling to sell from store prime lots for
less than 44 to 450. There wai one sale to
day of a < hoice, though small lot, at 43Jc.
while the great majority of lots were sold at
42c , fo r prime, cjowt* to 38c. for fair.
Manufactvrv t) Tobacco. —There is some de
maud for rbe lower grades of this article, say
for-Navy 10’s aud pound lumps' We quote as

funked to sbgbtly moulded. Tbe better
grades arc without enquiry, save fer retail lots,
Leaf Tobacco —Tim same spirit and |activi
ly is manifest in the Tobacco market for all de
scriptions save nondescript, which is easier,
white tbe both r grades are in active demand
at full rat-, a. We q i to Lugs to 8; Leal—

Boston Boot and. Shoo Market.
There is a giatitying increase iu the ship
ments". of boot and sUne3 from this market the
past week; the quiet that has prevailed so long
bus disappeared, and the sales are quite up to
the autic patious of previous dates*
There are now iu tho market quite a large
number of buyers from ail parts of the coun
try, setoetem'their stocks and leaving orders,
with dispatch, which givc-s assuia ce for con
tinued demand of Eastern manufactured goods.
Ptices are unchanged and ruling firm, with a
tendency upward, there being a slight advance
in leather, and a grr at scarcity of the better
qualities of Indies’goods. From present ap
peai'ancsa wo think prices will ranee higher,
rather than lower, lor the present season. The
full capacity of our manufacturers will now be
tasked to supply the orders left unfilled. Toe
huirying to and fro of manufacturers from the •
neighboring townfe shows Umt they are fully
awake, and wiii meet the demand quickly.
The styles are gradually changing from the
square to the round tees, though for pegged
work moderately rounded are in good rtquest
at present. (Ju sewed workjhey ave already
making the toes quite round, and other kinds
will follow soon.
