GENERAL TRADE.-The business of the
last week was very good in ali depart
ments. There is an indication of the early
commencement of the Spring trade, and
every prospect of a largely fncreased busi-
ness over the same season last year. The
good crops of the past year, and the almost
uniformly good prices OF products, warrant
our merchants in anticipating very good
trade during the Spring months. The
abundant wheat crop, the high price OF
hogs, the large yield OF corn, the heavy
tobacco crop, the satisfactory cotton mar
ket, and The high prices for mules and
other stock, ought to make money more
plenty among the producers, and induce
the country merchants to purchase more
uDerally. Our wholesale merchalts, In
anticipation of lively trade, are stocking
up with fresh and abundant supplies, and
viii be ready to meet the views and wants
of all purchasers visiting this market.
