The Import Trade Of Chicago.

CHlCAdOI August W.
The TTbuQe this morning in response
to an article In the New York Bulletin,
which says the merchants Of Chicago will
find 1t more TO their interest TO buy their
goods In New York than TO import them
direct, because to import successfully ro-
quires great experience, and when con.
Quoted on large scale demands liberal
expenditures for the maintenance of pur-
chasing agents ut the other side, and that
there are not 0 dozen merchants in Chica.
go or any Western city, who will ever Sc.
riouSly undertake 1t, replies as follows /;
"There arc already moro than one or two
dozen Of merchants In Chicago who have
learned from their own experience the
advantages as vol As difficulties Of tho
importing trade, and who have their pur.
chasing agents in Europe constantly, who
never fall for any single week Of the year
to receive invoices OF iOrCign goods, and
to pay the government thousands Of dol.
larson duties on them. We hava at least
halfa dozen merchants who will pay into
the treasury IN average Of not less than
quarter Of a million Of dollars each In
duties. AS TO those who import on large
scale, though not as large as this, they
are numbered by SCORES, while those who
import more or less merchandise are mum.
bcred by hundreds, Under the stimulus
of the increased facilities for importation
now afforded, the number Of importers
and the extent Of theibimportationS arc
rapidly increasing; 30 that tho opening Of
the next aeason will SEQ this branch of
business developed to m extent vastly
greater than the opening of the present
season witnessed. We have already about
three propellers q week bearing merclan.
disc billed from Liverpool straight through
TO Chicago; and four weeks from the con.
tinent Of Europe, or from the inland
manufacturing districts Of England and
Scotland, Is fair average OF the time
occupied en- route for the pro-
pillefs to connect with the weekly
Allan from Montreal to Liverpool and
Glasgow, and form virtually for freight Q
continuous limo to Europe. The good Of.
iects already witnessed from the establish.
ment Of this connection are the cheaper.
Ing Oi ireights, the shortening Of time In
tho transit, and the greSt. .slmplifcation Of
tho process Of entering goods and dis.
charging the duties upon them. There
are two Inconvenience still experienced;
viz: the breaking up oi invoices In the
transfer at Montreal, and the lack Of
cheap warehouslng here at Chicago for
bonded goods. These are due, however,
to the fewness Of the modes Of business,
and will undoubtedly bo remedied before
the next spring business shall set In. Ono
OF the results Of the advantages named
has been n sudden increase of the amount
Of foreign goods which our merchants arc
ordering; another ls the shifting to this
route ofthe large pig and railroad iron
traffic Of which ChicSgols Is the center Of
distribution"

to come from those localities that have q
