THE SPRING BUSINESS.

AAA6 81 n NJ SIN ESSs
BY the authority Of the BOARD OF TRADE, we pub
hshed Saturday last CIRcUL.R. stating ,ba, The
stocks OF goods and merchandise which will be reeeiy
ed IN this city in time for the spring trade will be
entirely unaffected and more than repIase the ossss
sustained, by the recent conHagration.
Many of the jobbers and wholesale dealers in Pbls
delphia and Baltimore, kindly symathizing with US in
our late calamity, have been quite industrious in crcu
latng South aRd West that next spring "a New York
will have no stocks Of goods" @alI were burnt nm.
poor devils We sorry for Them" they have lost
svery thing" don't you want 10 buy lot y, &c Sc
These gentlemen have despatched missionaries over
the Southern and Western States 10 spread this gener-
Gus and liberal opiaonthey have adopted every means
nstgated by benevolence, something else, to shor-
ten the journies of purchasers by OBTAINING them al
Philadelphia or Baltimore, instead of letting them pro-
coed to New York, where tits represented of poor
devils, they have nothing to sell but few hundred
burnt houses "soIne thousands of smoking raffers,
lots OF blazing merchandise" few ship loads of
ruined bricks" &c. &c. &C. &c.
Sorry are we to brush away these generous sympa-
hies OF our kind friends in Philadelphia and Baltimore
but we believe must.
There can be no doubt of this fact New York
never experienced such year of business as the last
year. Ii Is probable that nearly 500 millions worth of
goods passed through this city between January 1885
and January 1885, The stocks at the period of the
hre were smaller than they had been for ten anecedent
years. In consequence the orders sent out last fall were
double those OF any former year. These orders are
now beginning TO arrive and by April or NAV next a
larger assortment of all kinds of foreign and domestic
goods will be piled up in this great mart than ever vet
was seen in any city, in any part of the world London
only excepted.
There Is no mistake in these statements. They are
based on indsputabe data-uncontravered and incon-
trovertble. The contemplate conduct of Congress to-
wards our calamity, we despise. Such conduct is
natural to paltry politicians race Of rogues who
ought to be kicked out of all decent society. New
York relies on her energies-her natural advanta-
ges-her sensible customers all the Southern and
Western States and the very efforts of blockheads to
impede her progress, will only stimulate her more 10
surmount the cobweb obstacles This is the true mode
relief after aH Congress may talk and do nothing
the Legislature may and nothing come of 1.-THE
Corporation may grant loan and the loan be found NOT
negociable-a few paltry thousands may be collected
aud great noise made about it-but in the undyinr
business energies of our merchants we alone expect
never ending source of true relief
The only obstacle in the way Of this 1.oJs Of relief
at the ssions which our friends
al Baltimore and Philadelphia have been attempting
to circulate. But even for them we have remedy.
We have the qualification 10 state that during the |
last fsw days, we havecirculaed by mail throughout
the commercial COMMUNITY ofrhe Southern and Western
states-in addition to our ordinary issue-abou treutv
tso housand copies 9th HERALD in the shape of Com
Heresai Circulars, expressly printed by us for the New
York Board OF Trade, and for numerous wholesale mer
chants, stating the undenable fact that next sprng
New York will contain larger assortment of all kinds
Of goods than it did-ab xr6e condita-from the
hrst settlement of Manhattan Island And in order to
prick completely the generous bubbles of Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and return Rowland for an Oliver
We add in addition that before the present snow shall
melt away we expect to add fifty thousand more of
similar private mercantile circulars carefully wrapped
up and sent BY mail addressed to every merchant and
trader in the Southern and Western States.
Now gentlemen of Baltimore and Philadelpb;a a N
