Richmond's General Trade.

The trade of Richmond for the year
now rapidly nearing its close will com
pare favorably with last year and the year
before in nearly all lines except tobacco.
The iron and other manufacturers have
done an unusually large business. Many
of these concerns have been crowded
with orders during the year, and several
of the largest say they have orders that
will keep them busy until late in 1887.
The iobbing trade of Richmond expect
next year to devote especial attention to
fields in the South to which but little at
tention has heretofore been given. Lead
ing tobacconists here say that the tobacco
trade will be apt to be much better after
New Years.

ON THE EVE.
Current Christmas Comment.

Tomorrow is Christmas day It's near
approach has already been heralded by a
few fire-crackers, and the abomnable
footing Of an occasional horn. Yesterday
trade was brisk in many lines. The
wholesale dealers in articles incidental to
Chrieimas cheer were very busy. Toys
and all kinds OF holiday gifts went off
like hot cakes before breakfast. A TIMES
reporter made general round. He ira
versed Cary street and came back
up Main and by the markets. He dropped
in at number of stores, and found traffic
lively. There was considerable rise in
the price of turkeys They were selling
at from l6 to 1S cents per pound whole
sale, and from 10 to 20 cents retail.
Butter, eggs, &c, also had a stifi upper
lip Last week dressed fowl were way
down; but this week, owing 30 the fowl
being held back, the market has recov-
cred its tone, and prices are stiff.
Without going into detail, it may be said
that business in all articles needed for a
proper observance of the great festival
was very encouraging Very little dissi-
patton has as yet been noticed, and 1t IS
hoped that the day will be ushered in with
brightness and be observed with becom-
ing decorum, and at the same time with
all of the old-time heaTtiness

After an hours hard work the firemen
succeeded in subduing the flames. Loss

and Wren for their efficient efforts in
rescuing the inmates Of the burning

A Petition for Pardon.

A petition is being circulated in Man
chester having for its object the release
from Imprisonment of Thomas Cordra'
who is serving out twelve months term
for malicious cutting. The petition Will
be presented to the Governor after few
more signatures have been obtained.
Some of the jurors who tried Cordra have
signed the petition, and number OF well
known citizens have also put their names
to it. Cordra, it will be remembered,
stabbed Peter Judge several months ago.
His wife is in destitute circumstances,
and it is sympathy for her that induced
many to sign the paper.

try to do better
