There has been more doing 10 the Wooden
trade, and those houses engaged in the
Men's.Wear Goods have been quite active Most Of
he lob lots have been moved of at q reduction from
Autumn prices and the market is comparatively clear
of old goods yet we cannot report any change in the
market. Medium.priced Spring Goods are not active
owing to the fact that the designs not wanted and
that some Of our srgest obbng ordered largely
from sampe-webs early in the season. EIgish
Wooens are coming in less quantities than last
year, and promise TO be wanted early. Low Woolens
such as satinets sheep gray &C., are held firmly and
are moving moderately at the advanced rates noticed
The trade having supplied themselves early, the de-
mand will be light for the next 60 days, but decided
demand may be expected for the better caes of goods
Some of our enterprising manufacturers, who have
already learned that the mode of doing fancy CASH
mere trade ia altogether different from what it was
formerly, are now busy with their Autumn styles.
Sample webs will soon be ont, and we are promised
some very choice things in "a and 6 goods
We advise our manufacturers TO lose time In get
ting mp new Fall designs in goods weighing from 10 to
IA ounces as by having them early in the market they
will secure valuable orders and work certainty.
Prices will be decidedly higher than last season. which
will check sales unless there is novelty in style, and
the quality which is required by the trade. The price
of fancy Cassimeres however, depends quite as much
on the style as the quality.

The Trenton correspondent of The NeTark Mercury
writes as follows:
TRENTON. Feb 22-An argument took place last
evening before the House Committee on Corporations,
in relation to the Land Improvement bill. There was
large attendance Of spectators, including nearly all
the Members of the Legislature. Mr. X. Gilchrst jr.,
opened IN favor Of the bill in sspeech Of half an hour.
run the NewJersey Railroad if he was given with
out compensation the sight of way. He was followed
by Mr.. John F. jackson, in telling speech, which was
frequently applauded. Mr. jackson exposed in the
clearest manner the enormty of the prolsct in dis
cussion, showing that it practically highway
mans scheme for the appropriation Of the property OF
another In reply to the letter Of Mr. Stevens he said
that the New jersey road would give up all their
franchises free of cost if the Camden and Amboy Rail-
road Company would permit the New-Jersey Railroad
Company to run to lphia'-thus exchanging
vested rights for vested rights. This proposition, ev-
IDENTIFY made in good faith, created little sensation
among those presen and added largely no doubt, to
the force of Mr. Jscksons remarks. Mr. A o. Zabriskie
concluded the argument on tue part OF the opponents
of the bill, and the debate closed by Mr.. Gill
christ for the Hoboksn Company. 1t was generally
conceded that the bill was damaged in the argument

many anticipating that the matter would be taken up
and the greatest excitement prevailed. The bill Will
probably up tomorrow, and may possibly pass.
Several amendments have been introduced by the
Committee on Corporations, and accepted by the
friends of the measure, which, while they do not rem
der it less Objectionable to the New Jersey Road have
dsarmed the opposition of other parties, who now
stand aloof, or directly favor is passage.
One of there amendments provides that the road |
must be commenced in six months, and concluded In
two years. Another provides that the Hoboken Com
pany shall appropriate the tracks bridges OF the
New jersey Road or the same Jag originally al
lowedl provided that the latter Company will agree
to the erection of such bridges over the Hackensack
and Passac as may be needed for the Of the road.
Another amendment requires that in case the prop
cry OF the NewJersey Road shall be taken, the dam
ages shall be assessed as in other similar cases, and
provision OF like character is made in reference to
the of the Long Dock Tunnel. An effort will no
doubt be made TO still further amend the bill on its
secoI reading but how far it will succeed, cannot
now be affirmed"

allowing the banks to receive without paying out the
notes of banks outside the State but making them la

provisions substitutes for the weekly publications re-
ports to the Bank Commissioner weekly Of the items
embraced in the published weekly statements. part
Of the plan is to establish clearinghouse here.
From all we could learn the prospect last week OF
the assent of all the banks TO the new ar
range ment ar q whole was no, encouraging. Two
banks, the State and Mechanics, were spoken OF as
not favoriDg it, it by any means certain that
all the others were ready to concur in it.
