The road starts, as you know from Chicago, and rans to the Mieiesipp!. Chicago is to be the great commercial city of the West. The trave! ané business of an immense region must centre here, as ia the case in the Esstat New York. A road which is fed by an extent of territory nearly equal to the Eastera id which terminates at what isto be the com- upolis of that territory, canuot fail todo aa ever insreaving business with the growth of the eouatry tributary to id Chisago road is composed of two lines, ‘The Gakra branching ovs (rom @ main track, thirty mlies trom Ohi cago.

At this season of the year a considerable business is done with the interior, by the aid of the express companies, especially in the transportation of Nght packages of dry goods, which arc wanted by the retail merchants in the country, to supply the immodiate wants of their ous- tomers, Should the winter henceforward prove favorable, it is expected thot the spring trade will open much cariter then usual, and prove more active. From all direc ttops favorable accounts come up regarding the condition of the people in pecuniary ese. Tho prodacers of bread- steffs, from the jong run of bigh prices they have enjoyed, are said to be well ofl, aud to pay up well, especially in the older settied portions of the country. At the extreme West, where speculations in public lands and in town lots and other property, and chiefly by tho aid uf paper credits, considerable embarrassment and ‘luotuations in ‘business have been experienced As regards the South and Southwest the country was never better fl, Al though the supply of cotton this year it is coacedod will not be lees than about 600,000 bales short, yet the on- hanced price of the ariicle will in the aggregate bring a larger amount of money to the country than the whole supply of last your. Tho rage price of taat years, supply, at $45 per bale, for 3,600,000 bales amounted to $157,000,000, The prices of the present year’s crop will average mot less than $55 per bate, which for an estimated orop ot 3,000,000 bales, will givea total sum of about $165,000,000, showing an increase of $8,000,000. By the North American, at Portland, wo learn that the Manchester market was vory firm, which. with the advance of cotton ia Liverpool, was to have been expected. The total export of cotton piece goods for the year 1856 was, from New York 34,782 packages and 27,880 do, from Boston Total for both cities, 72 662 packages, against 27,536 in 1865 from New York aad $4,093 from Borton, or # total of 61,678 for both places in. that year, showing an increaso of 10,984 packages.

Liverroot, Dac 23, 1856. The arrivais since Tuesday last from Ireland and coast- wite are liberal of oats and oatmeal, but otherwise light, From foreign ports our supplies continue liberal, and comprise 56,242 quarters wheat, 18,254 quarters Indian corn, and 40,170 bb is. flour. The exports in the same time consist of 4,018 quarters wheat, 1,823 quarters oats, 7,726 quarters Indian corn. 1,398 sacks and 4,710 obis. flour. Our trade during tne week been very quiet, and where sales of wheat and flour were pressed, lower prices bad to be submitted to; a firmor feeling, however, bas prevailed tho past two 8, and b articles bave been in improved demand, at rather better prices. Indian corn has been Soe request at the prices of Tuesday last, the decline the week having been recovered. The weather contin id and open. At todays market there was fair attend. ance of town dealers, and many miliers from differ Pech of the country. Wheat met a good demand, both for covsumption snd for holding over, at an nce of nearly 2d. of Friday per bushel upon the prices last; the improvement was confined chietly to middling qualities of red and white American, fine quall- ties oot baving previourly deciined tm the same prepor- tion. Flour met with more attention, bat no advance can be quoted in the valuo of either home manafactured or American. Oats of fine quality, and oatmeal, were in fine request, at fail prices; bub inferior parcels of the former were difficult to quit. Bar- Jey and beans without changein value, There was an active demand for Indian corn, and there being but litle on offer, an advance of 6d. to quarter was estab- \\mbed ; mixed brought 83s. 6d. ; yellow S44 éd.; and white S4a, 6d. to 8 6d. per 480 lbs. There will be no mar- ket heid here on Friday next. FAMILY MARKETING. RETAIL PRICES OF PRODUCE IN WASHINGTON MARKET. ‘The meat market is full and prices are well kept up, as poultry, now that the holidays are over, is no longer the rage, and game is much enhanced in value. There isa good deal of mutton in market, and, as a waggieh butcher said yesterday, the stalls look ‘‘shcep'sh.”” Pork sells briskly, but the fact that immense herds of swine are dying of a distemper in the West, sbould induce people to becautiows. Beware of pickled and salt pork, and highly spiced hams. No doubt but that the people en- caged in this business are honest, as the world goes, but then there is roguery in ail trades. Poultry is again high, the glut caused by the holidays paving deen got rid off, andthe ‘‘cold snap’’ boing favor- able for the keeping of poultry and game. Quail aad grouse are the only kind of game that seems to have bo- oome cheap, The scarcity of quail in the earlier part of the season has been more than made up by the vast quantities that have arrtved from the West since very cold woather has set in. They are delicious cating and are cheap enough to be on every poor man’s table, Al! kinds of wild duck are high. This season has brought more venieon to the city than was ever know before. A \aste for thie kind of food seoms to bave seized upon » Yorkers, and the quantities brought to market is ror prising. The expre:s companies do a very large busl- vers in bringing eaddies to market. It sells at from 180. to lde., a very moderate price—cheaper than the ayer age of fine cuts of beef, The joke of the elder Rothe child, that be preferred mutton to venison, because ‘‘ou0 vor sheep and the other vos deer,”’ would bo without votnt in New York. Fish ie very bich and scarce, even ood hav advanced. Oysters too rate bi; ber. Vegetables look well and cheap for the season.
