Never was there a city which displayed
rgy enterprise, and never had city mcr-
,1.nt, more cmincntly deserving conf
deuce. In every branch OF trade, we re-
peat, tl;sy are prepared TO supply the coun-
rg custom upon terms as fair and quota
,ous as reasonable as those that prevail III
aoriacru cities.
H. the grocery business, this city has al
way> borne the highest reputation. No
-rrIaut dreamed OF passing Richmond to
l.y groceries at the North. We have now
extensive houses and large supplies Of gro
,.lir,, which will be sold as low as they

lathe dry goods business and in the "no-
,.a trade, as it is called, the supplies are
m..y coMmcnSuratc with the demand OF the

departments are men of most decided ac-
,jy.,y and energy, and they are deter

after patient examination of stocks and
prices.
Tie drug business has been always well
conducted in this city, and its quotations
Lave been generally those Of New York.
T. il still conducted with skill and energy :;
,l, rs in former days, merchants seldom
og never pass through Richmond 10 buy
t.,>c things sold by the druggists else
where. There is now as little reason for
them I" do 50 as ever.
In hardware and cutlery, the stocks are
also very large. Northern terms are rigidly
Observed in this branch Of business, and no
Dealer will fare better by going farther for
w.at he wants in this line. This was the
fact III former times, and the hardware
mrn are determined to maintain the rcpu-
Jtton Of their city to the "high-water
marks
In tie shoe and hat trade there are very
tine stocks on hand, which are being con-
~'a&tly rcplcnishcd and extended. They
NE as varied as those OF any city, and
under the u>agcs of the times, can be had

any city in the Union.
