Not5many years ago New York
was conceded TO be the CONNER
sclal and financial centre of this
great country of ours and the
I south paid tribute to this metrop-
oils. "A change has, however,
been partially wrought among
southern merchants. Baltimore
is now the New York of and for
the south. Being more closely
identified with the interests of
section, and being more SYM
pathetically in touch with our
people it is not any wonder that
Baltimore has won the affections
and patronage of the southern
merchants. Nearly a year ago
this the chlefest of southern
markets sustained heavy blow
sin:stne disastrous fire. She is,
however, rapidly rising from the
ashes. We have just received a
very comprehensive and artistic
catalogue from the large firm of
r. M. Sutton Company (Which lie
largely patronized by Edgefeld
merchants which gives some idea
of The pluck and energy of the
business men of Baltimore. Very
soon our home merchants will
HE themselves away to this New
York of the south for large stocks
of winter merchandise.
