The reduction of summer goods in New York this season is greater than the most ancient and venerable shopper can remember it to have ever been before; partly because the lnarket has been flooded with fancy fabrics, which the merchants dare not carry over, and partly because of the general dullness of trade and the necessity of raising money.
