Active prepa- rations sre making for the spring trade, which commences im Februsry, and ts ¢xpected to be very lively. From the improved resources of the people, through the aid of good prices for produce, and the diffusion of California gold among them, their powers of consumption have beea greatly augmented. Notwithstanding our imports last year reached about $314,000, yet our exports exceeded them by about $12,000,000, including shipments of specie. The importations for the spring trade are expected t be on a large scale, the heaviest arrivals of which will come to hand during the next id eosuipg month, and should the demand prove as good as anticipated, we may expect to see a protty good demand for specie to pay for duties. Should Congress act upon the suggestions of the Secre- tary of the Treasury and adopt the measures reco mended, such as admitting wool duty froo, it would hay sooner or later, conaiderablo in! oo over the value of woolen Jabrics, which, by being made and gold at cheapor rates, would Jead to increased consumption, and thas tend to sustaia the prices of the raw material at remu- erative figures to the grower. At the opening of the spring trade, reduction in standard woollen and cotton grades can reasonably be ezpccted, while ehould the raw materials keep up, it is possible that highor prices may govern the market.

THE GAME LAWS—RETAIL PRICES, ETC. It is now time for our game laws to be enforced, but of course no notice will be taken of them by our poultry, game and fish deale: There formerly existed im this city a “Sportemens’ Club,” the object of which was to enforce these obnoxious laws, The mombers made regu- lar visits to the markets and entered complaints againat the offending dealers before a magistrate. Latterly, how- ever, this clud became a kind of black mail concern, and afow ofthe members mado it a business to threaten dealers, who were willing to pay something rather than go before # justice. The following is aa abstract of these laws, which we publish for the benefit of the curious:— an ordinance of the Mayor and Commonalty of Ni York, passed April 23, 1839, it ts provided, ia the firs section, tLat “no person shall expose tor tale, or bave in his or ber possesion tn the city of New York, any trout, between the 15th day of October andthe sth day of March, in any year, under the penalty ot five dollars for each trout 80 ‘exposed for sale or had {nu possession. The 2a, 34, 4th and 61h sections probibit the sale or poesession ‘of heath-heos, quails, partridges and wood- cocks, ouring certain months, and under certain penalties for each offence, as follows:—Hrath hens, from Octo! 15 to Paes 15, under a penaity of $6; quatls from Janu- ary 5 to Octover 25, under a rms pag partridges from Janvary 6 to ber 25, & penalty ot $20; ier trom February 1 to Jaly 1 1, under a ponaity of ‘The sixth section of the act provides that the above penalties may be sued for and resovered by any persen, in avy Justice's Court, and that the prosecutor suali re ceive half the fine, acc that the other half aball go to ths the Almshouse for the benedt of th: news to note in beef this week, thore has been ap advance, owing to the higher prices asked for poultry.

Poultry bas advanced within the las| tew cays, in con- sequence of the cold enap that has visited these parts. Turkeys bring 15 cents per pound, and chickeus have ad- vanced one shilliag por pair, Tame duck has also ad- vanced. Game bas also advanced in price on an average about 26c, per pair, Venison is getting pientior and sells at MMe. per ib. by the saddle.
