and remarkable were TO be found developing
the rapid increase of the foreign trade of this city, and
showing the wonderful accumulation of stocks of goods
calculated to suit every inland market from Maine to
Texas, and from the Atlantic to the foot of the Rocky
Moustains. Calculating from the duties accrung here
for the past month"; is probable that the foreign i'm
ports for January, 1885, nearly increase
the imports for the period of last year. In
deed such the general of goods of all kinds
here that it is only necessary state general facts of
an indspuable character to convince the commercial
world of the truth of our statement.
Looking over the history Of commerce from the ear
Hest ages down to the day tell it, is the tendency
of that great branch of civilized intercourse form
centre somewhere-to select favorie head quarters
from which everygreat transaction emanaes and all the
smaller are absorbed Tyre, Sidon, Carthage Athens,
Alexandria, Venice, Genoa, Amsterdam, have all in
their turn, been the great centres of and Euro
pean commerce. AT the present day, London is the
capital of the commercial world in Europe, as New
York is in America. Banks may be created in other
staes-canals opened-rail roads consructed-but all
these avenues are only many inets opened to the
markets of New York. Charleston, Baltimore, Phila-
dephia Boston, rapidly increasing It's true" but
they are at the same time swelling the exchanges, null
iplying the impors-increasing the business and ad
vancing the very store rents of New York.
The clamor raised by certain Justice Shadows about
the rivalry of New York and any of those cities idle
and preposterous If more goods bought in PhiIa
dephia more goods will be brought here where they
get their supples-where their foreign imports first
received-and where their transactions abroad are ar
ranged and settled.
So prompt the operations of these general princ
Piles only glanced at that is evident from the appear
around us, that New York has only begun a new
era which will carry her with the rapidity of steam
power, beyond any commercial city, either ancient or
modern, in Europe or Asia.
LOCALITIES OF BUslNEss.-A great noise has been
raised by certain large capitalists and property holders
against the removal of the Pest Office to Chamber
street and yet perhaps has been done by these
self same brawlers shove business of Wall street
tahSy any other class of in the city. The enor-
high down cause the tendency to move
up town. Large wholesale merchants are gradually
but surely moving in the direction of the Park.
We observed the other day the wholesale establish
ment of Doremus, Suydams & Nixon, moving into that
extensive the of Liberty and Nassau
street. This building is one of the most splendid in the
city. The upper stories wplld accommodate the whole
Merchants Exchange, and we would advise that estub-
lishment TO gel of the place they in, in Stone
street, surrounded by stables and grogges, and come
into decent and respectable neghberhood Let them
take at once the upper stories Of the store we have in
Dictated. 1t is central and convenient and may the
Grand Jury from indictng their present locality as
nuisance.
