stocks for the spring trade in these depart
ments are received and opened up, making
a tempting display Styles are attractive,
and the assortment in our wholesale
houses Is very large and complete. Prices
are lower, and country merchants will
find good margins for retailing. 's&H
BOors AND SHoES.-A good business is
reported by our jobbers the past week, and
the Indications for the spring season are
very good. The Western trade, which has
been accustomed to go to New York, has
been kept nearer home by the long delay
in opening business, and Cincinnati and
Evansville are reaping the benefit of it.
Prices here are maintained, and will he for
some time, for the stock in the supply
market is very light; and in the article of
serge goods an advance has been estab.
lished, owing to the Increased duty placed
upon wooden goods By the last tariff. Stag
nation in business, and lower wages, may,
