Review Of she Burlington Market,
For the geek ending Auoust 18th


Flo, the geek ending august 18th.
Although we are not able 10 announce that
the Fall Trade has fairly commenced, yet bust
ness is more active than usual for the season.
Our merchants are receiving their Fall and Win.
ter stocks and making preparations for much
more extended trade than at any previous time
The Stocks of Dry Goods Offered at Retail, will
embrace every thing wanted by all classes of
consumers, while jobbers have spared no pains
in their sclections-and we venture the assertion
that the assortment will compare favorably with
any Of their eastern competitors.
Better issortments ofBoots, Shoes, and Leath-
er, than any other previous season, are now ar
irving. A new feature is now added to this de-
partmcnt Of trade, to wit: extensive Leather
and Furnishing Stocks, which are offered at ST.
Louis and Chicago prices, adding Freight. Its
hardly necessary for us to say anything about
Groceries or Hardware, US in both departments
our city has been, and still is, able to compete
for the best kinds oftrade. Better prices have
been anticipated for Groceries, but whether the
expected advance will actually occur, depends
upon the supply of the staples of this Branch of
Trade. We shall await further developments
before making quotations.
FURNlrURE.-In this line we notice that more
extended Stocks and better qualities are being
offered. Dealers have still further added to
their assortments what was often inquired for,
but not to be found, viz full and complete
assortment of all kinds of looking glasses from
the smallest size, worth 25 cents, to the large
Parlor Mirrors, that cannot be purchased in
any market for less than one hundred and fifty
dollars.
All in want of furniture, can now find in this
city all varieties of warranted work, from the
more common kinds to the choicest articles of
Parlor and Chamber sets. Dealers from the in
terror and Up River towns, will find it to their
| advantage to purchase here, as the assortments
are large, we'll selected, and at Chicago and St.
Louis prices, transportation added
| The Produce MARKET presents lively ap.
pearance, and large quantities of Grain are pur.
chased from teams daily, principally on joint &C.
markets.
Owing to the low stage Of water we have had
| but few arrivals from points below, yet we dc
not hear of much detention Of Freight. We
notice the arrival of large consignments from
Philadelphia and New Orleans by every boat.
