OF the Legislature an addition to the present

Spring Trnde.

There are many indications that the coming
Spring trade north will be very arge--.proba.
bly larger than it has ever been. The nnprcce-
dented combination Of causes, at present ope.
rating to produce monetary flush, must bring
itsharvest to the merchant as well as to the dealer
IN stocks and real estate. The facilities afor.
ded by the railroad, steamboat and telegraph
the immense importatons of Californian and
Australian gold,lhe multiplication of banks,an
as consequence from these causes, the gene
raj expansion of credit, are being sensibly
felt in every section Of our Union. Without,
as II would really appear, any other than a
speculative demand for them, most of the
staple agricultural products have advanced ia
price. The farmer thus realizing more from,
is enabled to pay more for the land he cult.
Yates And the further advance in the value
of his products, TO the amount Of the reduced
cost of delivery in market ly Steamboat,
Railroad, Canal, or plank road gives him an
additional surplus whorewth 10 procure ad
ditional exchanges from theManufacturer or the
Merchant. Hence the large increase of foreign
importations which we've seen reported during
the last five or six months. Doubtless the in
crease will be still greater TO meet the Coming
Spring trade. In anticipation that that trade
will be unusually large,the Philadelphia North
American says;
importers have already laid in ample
stocks of goods of all descriptions suited 10 the
market. and they are, we learn, enabled to
sell them on the most reasonable terms A
number of circumstances combine to render
the ensuing season most propitious for the
transaction of an unusually brisk and profta-
BILE business. The supplies of the interior arc
quite exhausted, and fair returns have been
realized upon the exceedingly great amount
of produce which has been sent hther from
that direction. Money, in commercial phrase
Is easy and operations are proportonably
facilitated, while those who are the purveyors
OF foreign and domestic merchandise Tor the
Jobbing class, have acted with a discretion
which has properly graduated their resources
