large stock Of fancy and staple dry goods, ready
made clothing, SC, offered by A. J. Duncan & Co.
This house has long been established in our market
IN the wholesale dry goods business, and have this
season added to their stock, ready made clothing.
There is not more enterprisihg, energetic house
to be found anywhere. In the purchasing of goods
they are well posted having one of the best
buyers Of goods that goes from this or any other
market; besides they now importing large por-
ion Of their stock With large sales they are enabled
tOsellat very small profits and werecommend city and
country dealers to examine their stock, which will
bear close scrutiny, both in styles and variety; they
are very rich and handsome. Their stock of ladies'
dress goods and gentlemen's wear-cloths and
eassimeres, is very attractive.

COMMERCIAL.
UxIoN AND AMERICAN OFFICE,
Nashville, Sept. 2, 1857,

l
Business in almost every branch is emerging from
the dulness which characterized it during the
mer months. Our Dry Goods Houses are thronged
daily with country merchants making their fall Sc
ections, while considerable activity is manifested in
the Grocery business Stocks in the latter depart
ment not large, but fully adequate to supply any
demand that may spring up.
SUGAR-The market has been unusually active
during the last several days. and number Of small
lots have changed hands. New Orleans may be
quoted at ll4@l3 for common to choice; Havana at
lS@1S3; Crushed at 161@16; Powdered at 15@16
Double Refined Loaf at l6 and small Loaf at Is.
M0LAssEs-The stock is very light, while there
is little or no demand. Rbls. are held at ~, and
Hlf Bbls at II cts. p gal, with but few sales
C0FFEE-The demand is limited, but owing to
recent advances in all the sesboard markets. holders
are very firm at present prices and in some instan-
sales are affected at fraction above our quota
tons. Rio ranges from III to 12a for Common and
Choice; Java at 17@l7k, and Laguara at l9@14
BEESWAX-Is in demand at % cts.
DRIED FRUIT-We hear of no transactions.
FEATHERS-The receipts are light and demand
good at 40@42 for Prime Live Geese.
GINSENG-A heavy demand exists and the mar
ket has advanced to so cts y 10.
CANDLEs-The ruling rates for Star are 26@28
for short and full weights TalIow are worth Is cts
for summer mould, and Sperm As cts.
BACON-The receipts are light, while good de-
mand exists Clear Sides are worth 141 cts from
wagons Hams IA Shoulders II; and Hog Round
1S4 cts.
LARD-M May be quoted at 15@16 cents from
wagons.
SALT.-Fine Sack may be quoted at S1,75, and
Coarse at SLIGO. Barrel is worth 40 cts. per bushel
WHEAT-Transaction in this article have been
restricted owing to the wide difference in the views
of sellers and buyers. Our millers are at present
paying from 65@s5 cts, but do not seem willing to
make engagements for future delivery at these fig
ures. White may be quoted to-day at Soc; Red at
10. and Mediterranean at Go cts.
WHISKEY - The transactions in Whiskey are
hardly worthy of note. We hear of a few small
sales at 5000 cts. for Good and Extra Cincinnati
brands but suppose that large lots could be bought
at something under these figures

THE DRY GOODS TRADE

Those who skepticaI as to the rapid increas,
inthe wholesale dry goods trade Of Nashville should
take stroll through the various houses of on,
merchants engaged in that trade, and examine tn,
extensive Preparations that have been made for the
fall business In doing this 1t win be seen that MOI
only has the number of these houses been increased
within few years, but that their stocks have
grown enormously, requiring more than double the
room for slowing away which suficed but a few
years ago. This is certainly highly creditable to
The tact and energy of our wholesale merchants for
Is evidence that year after year have they been
reaching farther out into the interior for their Gus
TONER'S until they have built up large and profit
able trade
Among those who have contributed to bring
a6ent this result, highly creditabIe to our ctv
We may mention the house of Messrs. Brspsford.
Mc"hirter Co, house that is comparatively
new in the trade, for it is only about year since it
went into operation. But it is eomposedo of men of
the right stamp-men Of energy and industry, who
make 1t point to keep pace with the progress
times, SO that the retail merchant may always find
upon their shelves whatever is new and desirable.
is IN this manner that they have built up the large
and lucrative trade they are now enjoying
Messrs Bransf0rd, McWhirter Co., have but
recently removed into their large and elegant house
IN the Nashville Inn Block a building admirably
adapted to the wholesale trade. We dropped into
their establishment the other day and found its six
stories literally crammed With goods Their assort-
ment Is one Of the most complete and desirable in
the city, embracing everything for making up into
Iadles and gentlemen's wear which the best markets
OF the world afford They have the richest and
most elegant display Of ladies' dress goods we have
ever seen in this market embracing all the newest
and most desirable styles in short, every variety
ana style OF goods from the cheapest piece of calico
up to the very finest that could be desired Their
stock Of gentlemens furnishing goods is very full
and complete They have also a heavy stock of
ready made clothing and plantation goods. The
latter is particularly worthy the attention of mer-
chants and planters. Their stock is complete in
every department of the dry goods line, and in re-
gard to prices they prepared to sell as cheap as
any house in the Southern country, and from the
acknowledged energy and business tact of the gen.
tlemen composing this firm, we feel well assured
they viii make it the interest Of merchants to deal
with them.
We refer our friends in the country to their ad-
yerisement in tO-day's paper, and can assure them
that any orders they may send to Messrs Brans-
ford, McWhirter Co., win be filled as faithfully
and upon favorable terms as if they were here in
person to make their purchases.
