MERCHANTS. MEETING. -Pursuant to ad-
journment, on Monday night, there was anoth-
er meeting of merchants, held yesterday at
ternoon, at thes store Of Mr.. j. S. Knox, Jr., on
Union street, for the purpose Of considering the
subject of the re- establishment of the. Corn
Exchange. Among the houses represented
were B. Wheat Wilmer & Washington, ).
.Broders & Co., r, II. Gemeny, M. Eldridge,
Gregory & Paul, Brewis & Davis, N. Boush &
Co, G. II. Robinson, G. E. White & Co., j. S.
Knox, jr., and H. w. Winship. Mr.. Knox was
called to the chair, and free interchange OF
views, on the subject under consideration was
had On one side twas contended that as twas
10 the interest Of the merchants, and the advan.
tage of trade, and as the fairest exponent OF the
market, that the Exchange should be re estab-
hshed at once On the other hand twas consld-
cred that inasmuch as there was but little pro-
auce in the country, contiguous tothis market,
and that there would, probably, not be much
brought forward for some time and that the
expense of keeping up the exchange would be
without equivalent advantages therefore, 1t
1as better to postpone the organization for a
time.
The latter argument finally prevailed, and
it vas determined to postpone the re estab
lshment of the Exchange until the LIST OF
January, 1866
The meeting then adjourned.
Produce is beginning to be brought to this
market by the Railroads, we are. pleased to
oote this fact and hope soon to be able to
chronicle large arrivals, as ofyore. Orders tor
groceries, dry goods, &c, are also coming in
from the country, and we feel assured that all
Who make Alexandria their market will lind
that they can sell their produce and make their
purchases as. ad7antageously here as in any
other market. The merchants here are de-
