is offering his goods at? Further, we have
none, nor are there what we term jobbing
or wholesale houses, in any city, where
the merchants are not willing to divide
and cut up some single grades of goods,
TO suit purchasers, and whether they DO
this in their wholesale rooms or retail de-
partment, l am at a loss to see the differ

particularly the case here, as we have
scarcely any merchants from the country
who are able, or if able, are willing 70 BUY
full bolts Of finer dress goods, when L
know all wholesale houses here give to
them, together with small quantities OF
any other lines of finer goods where par
ties could not use the original package.
This is lone in any city IN the Union,
where small traders are supplied. As to
the difference between the wholesale and
retail prices of this city any merchant or
any one iHerested will, upon proper in

suggested by Mr.. Morse, our Consul at
London. They have recently come into
use on the Danube, Don, Dniester, Wis
tula and other rivers. 1t is well for West
ern merchants to keep an eye toad inn
provements of this kind, lest the compe-
tition from Russia, Prussia, Austria, Hun
gary, Turkey, Egypt and other wheat
growing countries for the supply Of the
European markets may avail by reason
of the cheaper transit.
