FIRMS MAY RETIRE
Rumor Says Wholesale Houses May Go
Out Of Business.

There has been current for some weeks
a persistent rumor to the effect that one.
IL not two. of the largest wholesale gro-.
cerv houses in the city will go out
OF business with the close of the present
year.
This report has been heard time and
time again in business circles, and IS
given credence by many. Speaking OF the
report, a gentleman who is in touch with
the business of the city stated yesterday
that should these firms retro it would
be directly due to the fact that the
larger manufacturers OF the country, who
in former days have sold exclusively to
the wholesale merchant, and enabled him
to control the retail merchant trade. are
now selling direct to the smaller mer-
chant, over the middleman, and neces-
sariy seriously breaking in upon the
wholesale merchant and his trade in the
City.
The gentleman stated that there was
hardly manufacturing establishment
in the country which would not deal
directly with the smaller merchant re-
