Spring Trade.
An old merchant once 'remarked to the
writer, that to be properly prepared for trade
was half the battle of success. He was right.
There is no law more tuldeviating in its ope
rations, other things being equal, than that
the best marketi attract the moat buyers.
What is true of great mercantile centres in
this respect, is also true of individual houses.
demtrierde is a practical thing, requiring for
its suCceirsibl pxosecutioA practical men, and,
no matter what theorists may say to the con
tram aelf-interest is its mainspring. Hence
it is that such words as luck," or chance, can
I have no place in the vocabulary of a good
merchant. No man has ever yet graduated
With honors in the school of Trade who was
any more willing to ascribe his success, to
chalice, than would MxvroN have been willing
to attribute his Paradise Lost, or NAPOLEON
his victories, to luck.
It is the prerogative of trade to carve out
its own channels, whether it be between sopa
rate nations, or different parts of the same
community, and those who suppose it to be
an easy matter to divert it from channels thus
formed, have a very imperfect knowledge of
the laws which have regulated commerce in
all ogee of the world. If the actions of a
few fanatics could effect snob changes, they
might indeed be accomplished; but are
we to suppose that a Philadelphia merchant in
going to Springfield, or Boston, for his to,
baceo, would deter the great mass of his fellow-
Merchants from patronizing Baltimore or Rich
mond? Just as reasonably might we infer
that the citizens of Richmond and Oharleaton
will some day become customers of New Or
leans for their supplies of ice 1 Acting upon
the absurditrof the cry of non-intercourse
between the North and South, we aro glad to.
find that our merchants generally have treated
this' atter with the philosophical indifference
itdeserves, by making theme/it ample prepara
tions to supply their customers from south of
Mason and Dixon's line during the season now
opening.
In
_doing this they have acted wisely and
patriotically. That their judgment will be sus
tained by a prosperous Spring trade, there are
already cheering indications. We have taken
pains to ascertain the facts, and are warranted
in Baying that there are already more than the
average proportion of Southern merchants in
town. From private letters received by seve
ral Philadelphia firms, we are, moreover, as
aurea that the high esteem in which our mer
chants ere deservedly held by their brethren
Of the South is unabated, and that instead of
the course of a few =crapulous politicians,
North and South, resulting detrimentally
to Philadelphia, the conservative sentiment
which has thus been evoked will have a di
rectly opposite tendency.
Stocks of goods in every branch are, for the
Most part, already complete, and we doubt not
that, with our increased facilities for trade, the
result of the present season will be eminently'
Satisfactory. With a business avenue (since
Market street has been freed from its unsightly
sheds) unrivalled in its noble proportions, and
a hotel—the mammoth ecOontinental"—un
paralleled by any other lithe Union, to pre
sent to our friends when they arrive, we feel
better prepared to accommodate them than
ever heretofore. The increased enterprise
manifested ,by our merchants it' has been our
constant aim to foster and facilitate, by giving
them a voice in remote sections of the Union,
where Philadelphia papers had , never before
penetrated. That our .humble efforts in this
behalf have been met with a spirit of generous
recognition on the part of our mercantile
friends is as gratifying to us as it is honorable
to them. No class of men are in a better po
sition to estimate properly the value of national
harmony than our business men, and in point
ing to our advertising columns to-day, wa ilo
so believing that the magnificent card there
presented, for our noble city as a whole, will
be accepted by our readers, in every State
throughout the South and. West, as at once a
compliment to themselves and an eloquent ex
pression of the loyalty of• our people to the
interests of the Union.
We have, of course, too high a regard
for the intelligence of the merchants whose
navies we shall introduce presently, to sup
pose that they have thus honored us with their
patronage from mere considerations of patriot
ism. Such a construction- would be as arro
gant in us as it would be insulting to them.
Our merchants are ready for trade, and, like
sensible business men, are losing no time to
inform their customers of the fact. A. large
number of bills, in the aggregate, have already
been sold,'and we have reasons for believing
that the princely preparations made, by our
leading houses especially, will secure to our
city this season a very large increase of trade.
In the department of Silks and general Dry
Goode, the stocks of the follewing firms, well
known throughout the Union, are now com
plete, and, we are free to say, present induce
ments to buyers superior to any other city,
both in prices and styles of goods, more parti
cularly adapted to the Southern trade. Under
the head of Silk Goods, more exclusively, we
name, as worthy of special notice, the houses
of Messrs. Moans L. Hattowatt & Co.;
Snitsr; Homes, & iffoonavirs; DAIS, MOSS,
& WITILERLI; HERRUCC & OTT ABBOTT,
Jouttati & CO. ; WILLIAX S. &SWART & CO. ;
and A. W. LIT= & CO., the latter house
having recently effected a flue improvement
in their place of business. Of those devoted
to the Jobbing and general Dry Goods, the
following old and respectable houses will, this
season, command more than usustattention

CO.; BETH, WELLIANI, & CO.; M. WOOD)

and - Embroideries, the stooks of Heim.
Summer, Rui, & Co., and Messrs.. Fame,
Feasts, & Co., will be found unsurpassed In
any city in the Union; and in the line of
Cloth Goods and general Men's wear the fol
lowing establishments can safely defy compe
tition s Messrs. De CONSIET, LAYOUBOADR,
On.; .Idita B. BLLI.O. & SONS; MCCLINTOCK,
dam.; & Co, ; I. W. Qom A. Sons, and Cl.
Sostaas & BON.' To the departments of Boots
and Slues and Wholesale Clothing we shall
refer aT greater length hereafter. In the
former, the Boot and Shoe establishments of
Messrs. Lenox, RAHN, & CO.; BOW; &
Baerueas, and other well-known houses in
the trade, now offer stocks of superior merit;
and in the line of Wholesale Clothing, which
ranks among the most important of our In•
duettist interests, there are here a number of
enterprising business Arms, of which we shall
have more to say at another time. The card
Of Messrs. LIPPINCoTT, 13u1araa, & SCOTT, a
leading house, will be found in another
column. Under - the head of Drugs and
Chemiceleythe old 'and celebrated house of
Messrs. B. A. Fsuaarroox &. Co. has a na
tional reputation: The extensive house of
Messrs. MOLIRRT SLIOSILAKSR & Co., in this
branch of trade, is also worthy of favorable
notice.
The manufacture of Umbrellas and Parasols
may also be classed - aa a Philadelphia ape
clang', and is represented here mainly by the
old and respectable firms of SLEXPRZ & Pan
wan, and WK. A. Ditowit & Co. Another
very Important branch of our jobbing inte
rests is the Millinery department, in which the
efficient and sterling houses of Messrs. J.
lin.r.soax jonza ; Roanturant, Bnooss, &
,Co.;LINCOLN, WOOD, & NICROLS ; THORP.
SON & Jamas, and M. Banumum, now offer
large and varied stocks, adapted to the trade
of all parts of the 111R1013. In China, Glass,
and Qtieensware, the large and admirably
stocked houses of Metiers. BOYD & STROUD ;
TRIOHT, SMITS, & CO., and Tunanum,, AL.
ass, & CO., offer the greatest inducements to
buyers; and the same Is true of such well
known and popular houses here as Messrs.
TRUITT, BROTHER, & Co.; Moons, lIRNSZET,
& Co.; MARTIN & SMITH, and HANDY &
Bantonta, in the Hardware line.' For the con
venience of shoe maufacturers and merchants
dealing in that class of goods, we may state that
the two most prominent houses here, in that
line, are Altos° of Messrs. WILLIAM JOHNS &
lips, and Enwrx W. Pavia. In the depart
ment of Watches and. Jewelry, the long-es
tablished house of Messri. Pita= & REATH
will always be found to offer great induce
ments to buyers; and the same may be said of
tho young and enterprising house of Messrs.
Elaws & ILAss.tm, in the lino of Ladies'
Dress Trimmings.
Under the head of Commission houses there
aro a large number of firms representing va
rious classes of goods, that are too well known
to the trade to require special specification.
Of those we may mention the extensive estab
liubmonta of Messrs. Jorm C. HOWE & Co.;
LITTLE, STOKES, & Co. ; JOSEPH LEA; F. V.
Knee & Co.; FARRELL & MORRIS; WOLFE &
CO. ; SHIPLEY, HAZARD, & HUTCHINSON ;
FROTHINGIII3I & WELLS; WRAY & GILLMAN ;
WEST, FOKES, & LLOYD ; F. W. MELIZET
& Co.; Mama= & BACON; RICHARDS
HAIGHT, & CO., and others.
Third Street, Philadelphia.
To those who aro familiar with the mercan
tile topography of our city we need not sly
that Third Street, north of Market, is one of
our moat important business avenues. The
character and extent of the mercantile houses,
in the jobbing line mainly, which flank this
thoroughfare for several squares, have won for
our Third-street merchants an enviable repu
tation among buyers in all parts of the Union.
In some. respects Third street is a metropolis
in itself. Its stately business edifices are oc
cupied -by firms largely qugaged in every de
partment of trade. In no one street in any
city in America can the Western or Southern
buyer find more conveniently concentrated
every class of goods,ho requires to make up
his stock than on this avenue. Nor has it
merely the advantage of concentration and va
riety. Some of the finest stocks in the coun
try, in every line of traffic, are always to be
found here, and never has this more sttictly
applied than it does to the present season. A
large proportion of the houses doing business
upon it are of long standing, and possess great
pecuniary advantages, which, added to the
straight-forward mode of doing business Oa
racterislie of Philadelphia merchants general
ly, renders Third Street, Philadelphia, one of
the very foremost business centres in the
Union.
In connection with this, we take the liberty
of introducing the names of the following
well-known firma doing business on Third
street. The stooks of these houses we have
examined personally, with the view of speak
ing advisedly of them, and are free to say that
their character. for both extent and variety,
was never more creditable. In fact, the pre
parations already here made, and now making,
for Spring operations, show conclusively that
an unusually large season's trade is expected,
and In which, from indications already bad,
there is likely to be no disappointment. The
Spring cards, of the houses which we hero
mention, wilt bo found arranged under the
general head of (( Third Street Jobbing
Houses," on the third page of our paper to
day.
In the department of general Dry Goods,
the houses included In this fist are all of a
first-class character,-and would reflect great
credit upon the mercantile capacity and enter
prise of any community. • We mention those
of Messrs. JANES ; Kass, BANTEX, & CO.;
RiEOEL ; BAIRD, & CO.; J. I'. WAT 8; CO.;
RAIGIVEL ; MOORE ; & Co.; BONN, RAIODEL, &
Co., and ANSP*OIb Reap, & Co. Under the

CITY COUNCILS-61MM BRANCH.—Mg. Drayton
offered a resolution instructing the Mayor to attend the
nest meeting of the directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, and vote for a new by-law, prohibiting
the president of the road from holding any salaried
office in any other riplroad company.
Mr. Culler moved to refer to a optimal committee of
three. Notagraed to.
Mr..Drayton stated! that Mr. Thomson now received
a salary of $B,OOO a year. Ile realised the foot that Mr.
Thomson'. 'levies were invaluable to the road ; bat he
thought that as good a manager might be obtained for
the same mune).
Mr. Denton thought the resolution we small business.
Who has found any point upon which to bee censure
No ono; but ma petty spirit an attempt is hers made to
letslate him from the minor noting as consulting en
gineer, when applied to as lie often is. Mr. Thomson
is known all over the Union as an eminent engineer.
He has been made president of the grandest railroad
scheme ever projected, and let its entire duties do not
occupy his time for an hour a day. As to this resolu
tion, it is hypocritical. No other word will express it.
It is equivalent toa vote of censure, and Is gotten ups. a
solienie by those who feel disappointed about the change
in the Delaware terminus. Such agitation as Uns is like
summer lightning—aft shimmer, with no emit. 1 his
resolution is summer lightning, and nothing more sub
stantial.
•
Mr. Neal thrutlit that no other man than Mr. Benton
would have thus spoken. To perform the duties of
President of the Pennsylvania Railroad, to render pro
perly productive all her ramified intereste, why, only a
man of great powers as an engineer could properly at
tend to them. Mr, Thomson, no far from having leas
Combo can perform, has the work of two men to do,
without any time to devote to other roads.
Mr. Brunetti thought the resolution a compliment,
rather than a censure, and was in favor of its passage.
Mr. Culler felt that Mr. Drayton had boon used by
others. He knew that this matter was a mere revival
of the terminus controversy. Gentlemen outside, who
had been disappointed in their schemes of specula
tion, whose measures for aggrandizement had been
thwarted, were bent, aler being foiled in one three
tion. upon an attempt to bring. about the name result
in another They had failed let their measures for

who were but a poll:km.o'y, and tt was neverintend
ed that the wisdom end judgment of the di•ectors should
be totalled regularly every two yearn. No one here assails
the internal economy of the manazement, and whatever

ProMpth and efficiently discharged, how contemptibly
bpotty it is to say to other rondo . 'you shall not have the
enefit °flue advice!" No road dens'ss its maintenance
from its own territory alone, 'The road to Chicago from
renburg is hut a continuation of the Pennsylvania
ilroad. It was at the request of the directors of the
neY tennis Railroads hat Mr. Thomson assumed its
charge and the Pennsylvania Railroad has been a
gainer by the measure.
Mr. Neal thought that the beet evidence of a pros
perous railroad was the price of its stook. Mr. Neat
bought fifty times some years ago at te. It is now
quoted at M. With Mr. Thomson s sole attention, it
might be resuscitated in value. The city own five mil
ling of it, and should have a corresponding voice in its
maliasem ant. If the president Is devoting his time to
the buildidg of other roads, it is, of course, 0 the pre
iodine of tee interests of the Pennevl-ania Railroad.

the appropriation altogerher, and making general loan

This was to encourage the aristocracy, and to take toe

There was little change effected in the stock market

the old issues were held more firmly. Bank stocks were
in demand at previous quotations, and City Passenger

The money market was more easy, and the brokers
