COOP BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The opening
of September is marked by q fair activity IL
Aexuulria business circles. and i'm all de-
partments +here is s. hopeful feeling over
the prospects for u good trade. A number
Of country merchants have been in this city
this week buying their supplies, and all OF
them admitted that they could purchase
groceries and provisions here cheaper than
they could in Baltimore, besides saving The
freight between the two cities. In the
wholesale groceries, provisions and liquor
trades Alexandria not only holds her own,
but is now q rival of cities of much greater
pretensions, her merchants being fully alive
10 every turn in the markets and selling on
rs small m..rg ms as, anywhere, while the
merchants engaged in the other branches of
trade are not only holding on to their old
business, but attracting new. Alexandria
is now the centre of very large fertilizer
trade, this being the distributing point for
all this section of country and q large sum of
money is spent here in handling and ship
ping this commodity. The retail trade sut-
iers some by the citizens preferring to so
elsewhere to make their small purchases,
which is all wrong, and naturally retards
the growth OF any city. Our retail mer-
chants carry as large stocks as they feel JUS
titled in doing, but if they felt confident
that the people, principally the ladies,
would buy at home they undoubtedly would
increase their facilities and offer larger and
more varied selections TO choose from. AS
it is. however, as will be seen from a perus-
al of the advertisements in the GAZETTE,
the stocks of al sorts of commodies offered
for sale here are i'll no wise insignificant.
The selections have been tastefully made,
and prices marked down to compete with
any city.

THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE OF the city

adjournment, to consider the question of a
candidate for tho !ionse of Delegates. There
being no other candidate but Charles f..
Stuart, he would have been declared the
party nominee under the resolution hereto

the county committee to participate in the
meeting, it was deemed best to postpone
action until Thursday next, and to invite
the county committee to participate in the
mee!ing that day. This action WAS also
requested by Mr.. Marbury, of tho State
committee, and by Mr.. Stuart
