Sheppard and Henry D. Cooke against

DIRECT FOREIGN TRADE IN FINE GROCERIES.
The firm OF Thomas Balmer & Co. have just
made their third direct importation of fine
groceries from England within six months,
and others will follow. The revival Of this
branch of the commerce of our city by this
and other enterprisng firms is one of the
most encouraging signs of the times, and as
such it deserves notice. Direct trade is an
advantage, not only to the houses to which
the cargoes are Immediately consigned, but
to exporters whose interests are subseryed
by baving vessels from foreign ports so often
In our harbor. It is also great advantage
to retail buyers, for, as in the case Of Balmer
g. Co., the importers are enabled to sell all
classes of goods in their line at q very small
advance, if any, on New York prices, and In
many cases below those prices with the
freights added.
Thomas Balmer & Co. commenced busi-
ness six months ago, and the trade they have
built up is encouraging to all Of our whole
sale merchants, but especially to those who
have come here from abroad with view to
investing their capital. They are now SELL
ing large bills to all the cities of Virginia,
and to the cities of the West and South.
Seeing their enterprise, New York manufac-
turers have found it advantageous to ap-
point them agents for their specialties; and
they are the first, we believe, in this city to
get canned goods, packed with, their names
on the cans; and the immense quantities
they handle enable them to offer this class
of goods to the retail trade as low
rs they can be bought at the factories.
They are also agents for most of the Eng
lish articles in which they deal so largely,
and which they are now introducing in the
South while their wines, ale, porter, &C.,
for which they have an exclusive agency, are
becoming feature in the market.
The success of such an establishment is q
matter of public interest, and we hope it
may be our lot to notice many such instances
of the prosperity of new enterprises and the
increase of direct trade.
