Richmond and Southern Mer-
chants,

The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, in writing to that paper
OF New York and the Southern trade,
says:
What does New York care about the
South?
The cotton, sugar or molasscs man I'M
doubtcdy harbors n commercial affec-
ton; otherwise there Is no Tie that binds,
That the jobbcr and manufacturer care
little or nothing for the destiny of the
South Is apparent from their conyersa-
ton.
do you have any trade relations with
tho Soulh?" was asked Il commission
man here
''Oh, yes; we sell the Southerners goods
The same as any one else--if they come
here
Don't you send statesmen down there?"
I'VE used 10, but the little business We
got there didn't pay, and II the mer-
chants want 10 trade with us they nave
to come here"

its growing" was venturcd.
.Iiush! The South may be all right fol-
the small man, but we big fellows are
after big game, We want The merchant
who counts his orders by The thousands
and not by the hundreds. As ! said be
fore, If soulherner comes here we VIII
cell him his hundred. but we are making
no effort 10 bring hin. here"

infatuation for New York will bring m
Souiherncr here anyway
