With the new connections which are being formed
tie great increase of the coal traffic which may be
expected and the natural growth of the local business
along the line the business Is reasonable to expect
will exceed the above estimate of o. 100000.
Tie Indepeadent las the following in regard to Dry
Goods:
The dry goods trade has much improved the past
week. Merchants are now here and arriving 'front.'
West II great numbers. March will doubtless be, ac-
eordrpg to present prospects, very busy month.
Buyers report generally small stocks Oh hand, not
outstanding poor February trade, caused by ths
abundance Of snow and extreme cold weather From
some sections We hear that money IL not very plenty.
AZ soon as produce be moved no further com
paints, it is Dc eved, will be heard.
Goods remain without any material change in
urices Stocks continue well assorted and unusually
attractive Dress fabrics of almost every conceivable
style are vet abundant. Printed lawns of low priced
and medium grades are held with more tirnness, IN
consequence of the nOn-aTIval OF large number OF
ships containing supplies of these goods. The import
ers are asking an advance in some cases of from to
10 y cent American printed muslin de LANES are in
the market in great variety. The styles are far more
beautiful than ever before produced in this country.
Very few Of these goods are now imported, as the
trade very generally, prefer domestic manufacture.
We rejoice that that the day has come when we can
challenge competition in this important article with
any country, and we hope soon to see Introduced of
our own manufacture al wool goods Of equal merit.
II our tariff doctors at Washington Will talk less about
the Mosquito Territory, Lord Palmerston and fight
with John Bull, and more about giving Us the rar
tanhriai free from other COUNTRIES TO keep our wooden
manufacturers proftaby employed their services will
be more generally acceptable TO their constituents.
