this sort has recently bcon formed in this city.
Messrs. IIoLMEs & MACBETH havo opened a gen
oral brokerage and commission business Mt No 3G
Broad street. Thcso gentlemen though young in
years, are old business mon, and bring to the new
firm the experience gained by an association with
the oldest commercial houses in tho CITY. Wo

patronage Of tho public, and trust tho day il not
fur distant when tho stores Of Charleston will b,
occupied by parties having tho same energy and
business experience.
