Yesterday the police authorities were busiy en-
gagged In the reconciliation Of conflicting points as
to the movements OF Reilly and Maher, the two men
last arrested with view Of sending the case to
District Attorney Garvin to day for his action.
While the exact nature OF yesterdays inquiry was
not ascertained. enough has leaked out to justify
the statement that every day adds to the mystery
surrounding the murder, and the superintendent
and others who have from the first given 1t their
careful attention drifting about In Of per-
plexity and doubt to who the guilt be traced
to the dress worn by Maher before and after the
murder and his movements the morning OF the
been Also ascertain ed that Raher did obtain
the coat at present worn by him at the
Five Points Mission some days after the muir,
he had discarded for i've cents to junk dealer. 1t
has also been discovered that the morning OF the
murder, about ten O'Clock. he went to Eighth street.
and was employed by Mrs. Whipple to shovel snow
from the sidewalk at the conclusion OF which he
ceved his remuneration and agreed to return next
stances, coupled with Others considered strongly
favorable to the prisoners but these are couneracted
by the recognition OF the coat and nat given him by
De Lanoy and other very strong circumstances that
have not been dvulged. Maher is vehement in his
denial OF ever having received coat and hat from
DE Lanoy, and declares that the representations of
De Lanoy are the result of conspiracy against
him.
The superintendent Of Police declares that this
Is the most remarkable and difficult case to
straighten out that mas ever occurred and while
claims lndeiatgabe exertion, faithful and patient
perseverance, and remarkable acuteness for his
officers, he frankly admits that they have most
signally failed to accomplish what BOZ p0p,Ai and
the law officers demand OF them-the arrest Of the
murderer.
As the matter is so soon to 60 into the hands OF
the District Attorney 1t Is likely that within few
hours the entire circumstances and incidents attend
ing the search for the assassin will be gwen to the
public, who can then form better opinion to the
guilt innocence Of the prisoners now in custody.

The Spring Trade.

The HERALD presented yesterday full and
minute survey OF the various branches Of
wholesale and retail trade in New York as
affected by the influences of approaching
spring. Taking time by the forelock, our en-
terprising New York manufacturers and mer-
chants are already anticipating the annual
revival of business at the opening Of spring
navigation. Our spring trade, in many of its
most important branches, virtually opens at
the beginning or in the middle of February.
New foreign goods, selected or expressly man
ufactured in Great Britain, France, Belgium,
Germany, Austria, Italy and other European
countries, are beginning to arrive, creating
House, the bonded warehouses and the man.
moth wholesale stores. The wholesale dealers
in dry goods, silk goods, fancy goods and
Yankee notions, laces and embroideries, mil
linery, ready made clothing. china and glass
ware, crockery, boots and shoes, furnishing
goods, groceries, India rubber goods, hats,
books, stationery, watches, jewelry, silver
ware, drugs, wines and liquors, furniture and
upholstery, hardware and all varieties of iron
goods, terra Gotta, cutlery, carriages, pianos,
agricultural implements, and the rest, are
busily preparing for vastly more extensive
and profitable business than has been trans
acted since the year before the war. A grow
ing confidence in the new government soon to
be inaugurated at Washington, in the prospect
of reform and economy in the management of
our political affairs, and In the happy conse-
quences that must flow from speedy restora-
ton of all the Southern States to the Union, is
one powerful source of the impetus which has
been given to every department of our whole
sale trade. The city retail trade is likewise
awakening to encouraging activity. On
every side there is "a great clearing out of
fall and winter goods to make room for new
spring goods" Buds and blossoms in the
Park will be no surer indications of spring
than those which are already visible on the
shelves and counters and in the splendid show
windows of our retail stores, and in the
crowded advertising columns of the New YORK
HERALD.
