There i better feeling in Breais;ufs under the

Sugars are heavy. Cotton is firm end more achve'
sales about = 500 bales.
W. hear at present Of about $4,000 engaged for
the Saturday steamer. Some Of the leading bankers
do not intend 10 slip by this bost Since the lst inst
the rate Of insurance has advanced ! e cent which
checks shipments somewhat.
We observe from the St. Louis papers that the Iron
Mountain Railroad Company Of that State has called
on the County FOR 500 600 and that the North Ms
SCUM Railroad Company has called tor sl,WO,N0
These sums The Companies ak may be subscribed tn
their roads and the amount raised By taxation. IL
seems that $4,000 viii enable the Iron Mountain
Road 10 complete 10 the Iron Mountain and Plot
Knob. This IL a road Of vast importance TO St. Louis,
as il will star manufactures that viii greatly increase
the population and prosperity of that place. The
North Missouri Railroad, extending from 1t. Louis to
the Hannibal and 81. Joseph Railroad, and thence
TO the northern boundary line of Missouri and into the
State Of Iowa. is Of no less Importance. Indeed, Il
NAV be assumed that il il OF more importance TO the
commercial and business interests Of the CITY, As will
omen IN and secure trade that she will inevitably
lose without this road. slO0O,0O0 It seems, will ena-
bic this road TO complete to its junction with the Han
nita and st. Joseph Road and the Company expects,
and no doubt will obtain the necessary 10 CON-
pl,ie the road to Iowa from the State
The people of st. Louis have gone to work right in
this matter; they have determined to rely upon them
selves instead Of Eastern capital. They intend to tax
then selves ard pay az they go. The bonds of this
county have been selling at - cents the dollar and
apy considerable further issue would have rendered
them wholly unstable at any price but this step
should appreciate the value of it' bonds as il shows
determination the part of the people of 81. Louis
County not 10 GO further in debt.
The completion OF the two roads spoken of will have
tendency 10 place ST. Louis in the front rank Of West
EN- cities and the spirit manifested by her people in
dca.s that they intend she shall occupy that position.
They have wisely chosen in selecting taxation To raise
the money for these roads instead of bonds. Their
bond- would not have sold and the people will find it
far easier TO pay their taxes with these roads com
pleted than if they were to go down. The public
spirit manifested in this matter by the people of ST.
Louis will add to her character abroad
The In6eTendm to-day says:
"In about sixty days the importation of goods for
the Spring will begin and, ~ we are advised,
will be very heavy. The fall in the value OF money IN
London led 10 a great number o. additional credits
Il ere American account, which bave been Tiled,
and will expire for payment here about March next
tba II, to he i'm
portstions about December till when the sbursements
are likely continue greater than the receipts to the
benefit Of the Money market.
"The sales of dry goods both from first and second
hands are dimni hing Jobbers have been slack, but
the general business Is good and the country pays WELL
Business appears regular and in healthy condition
six goods have materially advanced, and the adj
vance asked has been readily given. All Silk goods
have advanced greatly in Europe and importers here
decline offering all their stocks The failure OF the SILK
culture in France and the necessity of sending to China
for supplies has materially enhanced the cost OF manu-
facture Importatlons for this season are entirely over
French Muslin Deanes have been sod at steady prices
Printed goods scarcely firm and the most desr-
bic styles are buOyant in price Merino goods have
lso advanced. Stocks are much reduced. The com
lnission-houses Tor selling goods OF home manufacture
have nearly got through their GALES tor the season. and
are doing irregular business only but prices seem
fm especially OF Cotton fabrics Wooden goods are
not in excessive supply, and prices look well for the
manufacturer. There few job lots to be bought at
the close of the present whether of foreign or
domestic goods. The country has absorbed an i'm
Inense amount and pay for then with greater
than two years ago they could pay for much smaller
consumption.
