BALTIMORE TRADE WITH THE SOUTH

BALTIMORE TRADE WITH THE SOUTH
VEST
| We presume that the political excitement which
naturally influences the minds of our people, will
not entirely absorb that attention which the trade
! interests OF this city should always command. In
the Eechcnge of yesterday there report of a
meeting held by the Earthenware Board of Trade
of Baltimore, and during the conversation which
occurred there we notice a subject alluded to which
We propose to ampfy somewhat, believing that
important results may be thereby achieved.
The idea of a Commercial Fair, or European trade
sale, in Baltimore, under the proper auspices, and
in conjunction with the foreign manufacturers and
| Southern and Western buyers, is good one, and
certainly presents very practical, simple and at
tractive mode for bringing these great interests to.
gether at Baltimore. We already familiar with
the celebrated LEIPZIG Fairs, or Trade Sales of Ger
many. In New York there are periodical and semi
annual trade sales in most of the departments of
| commerce. The Book, Picture Shoe and Dry
Goods Trade Sales of that city are regular features
attracting buyers from all directions Boston has
OF late adopted the plan with great success,
and now we observe that the new trading associa-
tions formed in Belgium fo- the promotion of direct
trade with the Southern cities of America has de-
| cided upon Trade Sales, Commercial Fairs, az
the best mode of attracting buyers. We think the
| plan good one, If properly worked and properly
| prepared.
1t the manufacturers in Europe would agree to
consign to Baltimore goods suitable for the South
ern and w estern trade the same to be conided to
| responsible parties here, we have no doubt but
that our friends at the South and West upon pro-
per notice, would attend the sales The assortment
might embrace also articles of taste and luxury
The Mechanics Institute affords fine hall, where
the exhibition of samples, of rare and beautiful
goods, and works of art, could be made most at
tractively. Our domestic and city manufacturers
might join in the exhibition. We presume that the
railroad companies would Issue round-trip tickets
and certainly, if we are not slow in extending our
generous hospitalites to the delegates to political
Conventions, would not be backward in doing
the same to merchants seeking city with their
families to witness an European exhibition, and
make purchases in Baltimore.
Let us suppose, for illustration, after proper
| correspondence and organization in Europe, that
| manufacturers in Scotland, England, Ireland, Bel
GUM, France, Germany, and Switzerland, should
fall into the plan and agree to place certain
amount of goods at the Baltimore trade sale, or
| fair, for disposal American huyerc. Docs any
one doubt but that purch asers would flock to the
sales? By proper system of advertising, and by
| issuing catalogues, in Ger man and English mer-
chants from Chicago, St. Lou is, Cincinnati as well
| as from the entire South, would attend. We think
| 1T is clear, that semfannual trade-sale, or CON-
mercial fair, at Baltimore supported by consign-
ments from abroad, and from cur domestic manu-
facturers, and sustained by the Southern trade,
would lead to very important results, and if pro-
perly managed give satisfaction and profit to all
| concerned. We, therefore, trust that our enter
prising friends in the earthenware trade will induce
other departments of the commerce and industry of
Baltimore to join in this spirited movement and
that we shall soon be able to report that Roadway
is making in Europe accordingly.
