The Wholesale Trade Of Chicago.
It is marvellous to witness the changes that
have taken place within two years III the trade
of Chicago, both as to its character and its
extent. Houses that then employed less than
dozen hands, now have from fifteen to forty,
and are driven harder and more hours ii
da5, BY the Increasing tide Of commerce that
seems to come unbldden, almost, except by
the preparations that arc made to meet 1t By
cur enterprie1pg merchants.
Any leading house In either branch OF trade
will foot up in weeks sales at the present
time, an amount equal to their monthly sales
in 1859, du,ing the came period. The bulk Of
ea1es are for cash also, while formerly nearly
all transactions were on time.
Then, merchants got large bills, coming to
market OILY twice OF thrice in a year. No"
they come, in many instances, as often as once
a month,-all Of which goes to establish the
fact thSt the best trade is concentrating here,
and that very much larger extent Of country
Is represerted than at any time in our history.
We are proud to chronicle such e1ideaccs Of
the energy Of our merchants, and Of the ap-
r1eciation of country dealers Of the advan-
tages Of home market. It Is proper, hoz-
eyer, to state that the constantly rising m2.-
kets OF the seaboa1d have had much to do
with this result.
Our heaviest dealers have bought largely
for the fall and winter trade, very early in the
season, enabling them to sell in Chicago be-
low New York prices Of e1me date Q1ota-
taions here and In New York, for three
months past, 'carefally compared, will shoT
quite msrstn in favor Of Chicago.
We have taken pains to visit many OF our
leading jobbe's, and find that they are in full
supply AID ready to keep up this programme
during the fall
The results Of the war have Only begun ia
be realized On the cotton goods markets. II
peace we're declared to day, the supply ct raw
matcrial is SO light that no permanent redu:
ton could be made in prices, though tue
| moral effect Of such an event might produce g
downward tendency for a short period. 4
rev crcp Of cotton must be raised before cot
ton goods can possibly decline to any extent
When that will take place, the Lord oul!
knows; ard when it is placed beyond cou
tipgency as 20 time, the derangement Of finac
ees, and everything pertaining to Its growu
IN the South, are sucs, that very small crol
comparatively must be the result Of the frsI
YEARS. labors We must, therefore, expec
large prices for long time to come, for cot
ten goods.
