the 10th Of January the regular Southern trade
fairly sets in, and during February the merchants
from the South, Of every degree, from the heavy
dealers doing business IN large cites to the retail
road functions, visit the North, purchase their
go0ds and return with them in time for their
own spring trade which commences In March.
Mr.. Stewart Gays there has been 40 falling
of this year in his trade with Southern mer-
chants; on the contrary, he thinks It thus far ex-
ceeds slightly that Of the preceding yea. Neither
does he anticipate that there viii be any decrease.
The scattering trade with the South, which con-
tnues throughout the whole year, has not been In
terrupted by the John Brown raid and the agita-
ton which has followed It. The Southerners have
been Is prompt win their remitfances a. they usu

does not know what may take place II Speaker is
not elected soon but he does not believe that the
Southern ladies are prepared yet ds in nsey
from the North. He thinks it probable that the
jobbers from the Southern cities will buy more ex-
tensvely this year at the North, and that the re-
tailers win stay at home and purchase their goods
from the Southern jobbers.
With regard to the recent discharge Of clerks
nom his establishment, Mr.. Stewart says the az
with is entirely without foundation. Every year.
in thelatter part Of December, he "weeds OUT his
force, removing those who have proved themselves
incapable; it 3 absolutely necessary to do SO in SO

Southern trade. During the past fall the Southern
merchants have bought more extensively than they
did the year before, and 1t Is explicsble in his
opinion thus: The market at the North was over
stocked, owing to the war in Europe, which
induced the manufacturers at home, who
could not find , ready market near at
