CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Business Of Baltimore, 1t is gratifying to OBJ
serve that the Spring business is going on fou-
rishlngly in all parts of our city. All the Ho-
tells are thronged with strangers from various
parts Of the country, who have come here to
make their purchases. The opinion seems to
gain ground among country merchants that in
Baltimore they can purchase their goods at as
cheap rate as in any other city in the Union,
and that considering the superior advantages OF
transportation, our city has decided prefer
ence over other commercial marts. Our streets
are crowded with boxes, bales and packages of
goods ready to be sent to the places of their
destination, and our merchants are still busy
supplying the great number of dealers. The
recent pleasant weather has had very benefi-
cial influence upon the retail trade. Retail
houses are all doing an excellent Spring bust
ness. Money is plentiful and every thing APP
pears tiourlshng and prosperous.
