The Express says the leading railway
out of this city are crowded with freigh
bound west and south, and rolling stock o.
different companies, are taxed to their ut
most.
The activity in the dry goods trade il
unabated, and many jobbing houses are
compelled to work nearly all night in or
der to get their sales up. Some large firms
have actually been compelled to stop sales
in the middle of the day till goods already
sold could be entered and shipped. The
leading houses frequently take in $3.50, 900
to 100000 per day. The demand is from
all sections, but the South is taking an i'm
mense amount of goods.
The merchants from this sectien come
here prepared to pay up portions, and in
some cases the whole of their old indebted
ness. They are generally provided with
receipts of cotton, rice and tobacco, and
the produce in the South is much larger
than was anticipated. The cash system is
all the rage, and probably three -fOurths of
tbs business done now is for cash.
The supply of goods, both foreign and
domestic, is not equal to the demand. The
stock is universally light for the season.
The market is very firm for everything,
and prices are steadily advancing.
The auction sale of French goods yester-
dsy was complete success, and prices sd-
vanced from to 10 per cent right through
the catalogue. There was rush for Me-
rinos.
The book trade was never 80 active as
at present, and some OF the principal estab-
lishments are working extra time.
The boot and shoe trade is very heavy
business, and goods are being distributed
all ever the country, especially South.

purpose of defending Wirz. It is pro-
posed to conine the subscriptions to loyal
men exclusively. The motive is not in the
slightest degree sympathy with Wirz, but
purely desire to preserve the honor of the
country. Already q respectable sum has
been raised, contributed only by persons
who believe Wirz to be guilty but who
desire it shall be impossible for any one to
doubt the justice of his sentence, whatever
it may be.

There is every indication that q large
number of people from different portions

to q future residence in the United
States, and are using every means to as
certain prices and locations of immense
tracts of land which are now lying uncul-
tivated.
