IN WHOLESALE LINES.
Our Jobbers Had "A Highly Salts
factory Year.


The year which closes with to-day has
been one Of great business activity and
more than usual prosperity in Richmond.
In no branch OF this city's trade has the
increase IN business been more marked
than the wholesale lines.
Many years ago Richmond took first
rank in the 1naris Of the South as a
wholesale supply city. and this position
our merchants have upheld and improved
until to-day the jobbers OF the capital
city Of the Old Dominion ship their goods
into every state in the South and South
west, and the majority Of them nave
their salesman moving about I'm every
locality.
The prospects for a prosperous year
were not overnight when 1870 began, buy
tho winter had not closed ere the retail
merchants had b gun ordering briskly,
and throughout lasi summer, the months
when business is usually more or Joss
staguated. there was unusual activity ia
the Wholesale trade, and the jObors and
their clerks were kept at work early and
late filing orders and shipping go ds,
while The statesmen were iubIlaut over
the succefs which attended their soliclta-
lions. The fall trade Open.d up Wi b a
degree o. activity which was most enc
courasing. and during The TWO mon hs
Immediately preceding Christmas orders
were received with such rapidly trat
it was with difficulty that they were filed.
