The Fail Trade.

Inere IS stlll enough nope anu Connuoneo
in the breasts of our people to impel them to
WOO fortune with persistency that knows no
faltering. Our people have faith IN them
selves, and our merchants and manufacturers
are exerting their every energy to make the
trade OF the season profitable to themselves
and their fellow-citizens, and worthy OF the
name of Charleston Each has mace extra
ordinary efforts, and the result !s largely IN
creased and improved stock in every depart
ment of trade.
In DRY GOODS the stock is twice as large as
that of last year, with an addition to the num-
Der of wholesale houses. The assortment is
complete, and the wel-known firms engaged
in the trade are guarantee to the former GUS
toners Of integrity and liberality in trade. A
large trade is expected, and the merchants are
ready for it.
In the WHOLESALE CLOTHING line the stocks
are extensive, from the palmer and cheaper
styles up to the most fashionable, and we may
say with entire truth that the prices and terms
are as favorable to the buyers as can be had N
the larger cities.
In HARDWARE and CUTLERY Charleston is
fairly reconstructed. The foreign importations
in this branch are large.
The Charleston DRUGGISTS are also recon-
structed, and have assumed their old position
in the competition for the trade-a trade which
formerly they monopolized and are rapidly re-
trieving.
In the SHOE BUSINESS this city always en-
joyed o high reputation, not only IN South
Carolina, but throughout the South. Here
were made the most durable plantation shoes
that we're in demand in the Southern States /;
nor can any place this side of Paris excel the
Charleston made work in elegance; while 1t ls
unsurpassed anywhere for durability.
For GROCERIES and LIQUORS it has never
been the habit OF the country merchant, within
the reasonable commercial sphere of this city,
to pa BY it to make his purchases. 1t has
ever had the reputation Of being unsurpas SEQ,
and il now able to do the same justice to the
country merchant that formerly gave such en-
tire satisfaction. We have several Of the most
extensive grocery houses conducted by firms
nDied for their enterprise and fair-dealing.
The LEATHER and FINDING BUSINESS is con-
Quoted in Charleston with great activity and
success. To the wholesale dealing in every
sort Of leather is added the manufacture OF
harness, uppe. leather, bride leather, and calf
skin, Of very superior quality. The dealers
here, who are thorough business men, and de-
termined to enlarge the trade Of Charleston,
will sell all sorts of leather as cheap az it can
be had anywhere.
BOOKS, SCHOOL BooKs STAT1oNERY.-The
stores have increased stocks, and are fully pre-
pared 10 supply the trade.
In JEwELRY, PLATEDwARE, and in GUNS and
EQUIPMENTS FOB SpoRTsMEN, the stocks are
superior to those before the war.
CHINA, GLASS, CRooKERY.-In this depart
ment there is degree of enterprise equal to
the best day Of tho city. The stocks are extern
siye, and the dealers will guarantee as low
prices as prevail in any Northern city.
VARIETY, HOUSE FURNISHING, TNwARE AND
SrovEs.-This is very comprehensive branch
Of trade, and it is conducted upon an extensive
scale in Charleston. A large part Of the stocks
are manufactured in this city, and is of the
most reliable quality. This is especially the
case with the tinware and stoves, which are su-
perior to the Same fabrics frJm the North. The
dealers in this extensive branch Of business are
satisfied with Northern prices.
In the HAT BUSINESS the fall stock will be
complete and OF the latest styles. The country
trade cannot be better suited elsewhere.
In CONFECTIONERY AND FRUITS there are re-
markaby fine stores in Charleston, whose
stocks are admirable. The business is greatly
increased in this branch. The dealers display
a remarkable degree OF enterprise, and cannot
fail to satisfy the country custom.
SADDLERY AND HARNEss.-Tls business has
been greatly extended and any demand can be
promptly and satisfactorily met. The stocks
are well assorted, and the prices compare
favorably with those of larger cities.
In CARRIAGES and all sorts Ut travelling and
pleasure vehicles, we have some OF the best
stocks ever offered to the public in this city.
The assortments include some of the most
fashionable and elegant carriages Of the day.
The FURNITURE WAREHOUSES are apparently
on a new and more active basis. The stocks
are as varied as ever and very large. The
prices range with those of the great cities.
The extensive establishments engaged in
manufacturing AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS
are so well known that it is almost supererog-
atory to say anything Of them. They are un-
surpassed, and merely named to make out this
list.
The same may be said of our extensive IRON
MANUFACTURERS of steam engines and all sorts
of IRON fabrics.
FERuLIzERs.-The trade in guano, phos
pilates and fertilizers generally is an important
branch of business in this city. Every de-
script n If artificial manure is ready for the
coming OF the new season, and on effort is be-
ing made to persuade our planters to use fer.
tilizers for their grain crops.
IRON T1Es.-Many descriptions of these use-
full articles are being sold. They are growing
in favor daily.
The foregoing facts show q little Of what
Charleston is prepared to do for the country
merchant, who may here find large stocks,
low prices, and men who understand his wants
and ara prepared to meet them. We hope that
the business in the year which begins to-day
will be all that the most sanguine expect.
