THE prolonged summer season that has been experienced by the dealers in textile fabrics is now fast drawing to a termination,—and arrange- ments for the autumn are engrossing the attention of those buyers in the wholesale houses, who are not out of town upon their holidays. In some of the warehouses we have observed deliveries of French merinos have already been made, and as a rule "the stocks have been taken." In a few weeks' time it will be our province to draw attention to the various novelties, and to the different arrangements that are about to be made for the winter.
Accounts from France inform us that business occupations are about to be resumed again with much vigour, although a great many hands are absorbed in agricultural occupations.
