Commercial.
Business,was active in most Of the wholesale
branches Of trade to-day, and there is a general
confidence prevailing that the LIST Of April will
| usher in an unprecedented epoch of activity. The
| fine weather, the opening Of new lines Of nsVigs-
tion, and various causes point to this result,
| have previously shown in these columns. The
meeting OF the Inland Seaboard UOasting Com
pany this evening is looked TO with great antici-
patton in trade circles, every merchant feeling at
| least Indirectly, interested.
The rise during the past few days in provisions
| is a surprise to many Of our merchants, and there
is a variety Of opinion as to the maintenance of
| the advance. 1t is the minority who believe that
prices will recede in few days. Mr.. Rudolph
| Eichhorn, who Is the largest dealer in provisions
| in the District is in constant receipt Of Western
| telegr aphic advices aud thinks that we shall
have an active market for some time, that the
that there will probably be q still further ad-
| vance. Corn is very active, and there is pros
Peet for an advance, especially on white. MI. N.
H: Shea thinks there is a prospect of further
| advance in sugar, from the fact that refners are
investing largely in the raw material. Oysters
market is We'll supplied with good, fresh cargOes.

as previously stated. Jo6bins lots Of rock and
