A NEW STEAMER LIME.
There is good deal OF talk about III

RICHMOND TRADE.
The exhibit made to-day of the b,isi:sS
ness done in Richmond during last yesf,
Is most gratifying. OF course it Wa5
nothing like so prosperous year alss|
some have been, but upon the whuIasJ]
1t Is better than many others. Ths6
outlook is certainly encouraging for pes-&
ter times. There will be fewer faitiires&
than has been generally predicted s. foE&
the first week in January.
The strong and influential post sf :
travelling statesmen located here has faTX
some time been quietly at work dSSl on
schemes for settling some new manu-
tories in Richmond, and it can be statesf&
that the drummers are succee7insE
Their work will bear fruit before thSH
year ends. The post has gone to- wd3AS8
in earnest to help build Richmond H68
