The District markets show maintenance Of the
increase Of trade which set in with the year, and
though the volume Of business in some branches
is smaller than a few weeks ago the existing con-
diton is only Indicative Of the natural and prece
dental recurrence of the summer quietude. Facts
point, beyond the possibility OF doubt, to large
augmentation Of every manner Of business in
which the local mercantile community are now
and may be engaged from the commencement Of
the autumn season and until long after the great
Centennial year. Washington will be favored
with q larger number Of visitors upon the assem-
bling Of the new National Congress in the interest
Of Southern claims, &c, and the myrisds that go
to make up our transient population cannot but
react benefcislly upon the trade community, and
until we draw our quota from the mIIliard Of for
eign and home, Eastern and Western visitors at
the Centennial festivities and displays.
