THE FALL TRADE. Savaiuiih’s Preparations to Meet It — Heavy Stocks of Goods Now Coming In—Savannah’s Advantages as a Wholesale Market—Heavy Increase In Our Wholesale Trade ami Manu facturing Interests—A Few Hints to Merchants and Planters in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Ala bama. The Business season of 1880-81 is now near at hand, and no better evidence of that fact need be wanted than the unusual activity of our wholesale merchants, who are now working like beavers, preparing to meet the demands of their several lines of trade, and we are pleased to note that the prospects for a lively and healthy fall and winter trade were never better. In fact, some of our oldest and most experienced merchants predict a larger and more sub stantial trade this season than we have had in many years past; and when we consider the fair business done in every branch throughout the usually dull summer months, and the fine prospects for a good cotton crop, their predictions are based on a pretty solid foundation. Then, again, our merchants and planters are in a better trim financially than they have been in several years. Very nearly all of them have paid up in full, and those few who are still in arrears are not far behind, and have very bright prospects of “fixing that little bal ance” at an early date. The reports from cotton are very encouraging, and every confidence is felt for a full crop. Many planters even go so far as to say they have “never seen better stands of cotton” than those which now ornament our agricultural sections. The corn crop cannot furnish so favorable a report, owing to the want of rain, and unless the watery elements above favor us very liberally, and very soon, that crop is pretty apt to be cut short. But we think that the most substantial reason we have for expecting good crops lies in the fact that the planters have not as yet com menced their “annual growl” about condi tion of crops, bad weather, rust, worms; nor have they yet lodged a single complaint against that vile and malignant enemy of the planter, the “catapeliar.” Hence we have every reason to expect a good, solid trade for the ensuing fall and winter. A WORD TO MERCHANTS AND PLANTERS. The time has now arrived when the mer chants and planters will be looking around with a view to making arrangements for stocks of goods, supplies, etc., to meet their demands, and in this connection we would call your attention to the advertisements and announcements of our wholesale mer chants, which will be found in this issue of The Times. Our wholesale merchants are now prepared, with full stocks of goods in their several lines of trade, to meet the wants of their customers ; and as each sea son rolls around the heavy increase in our wholesale trade proves most conclusively that merchants and planters throughout Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South Caro lina are beginning to realize the many ad vantages which Savannah offers as a whole sale market. Our merchants are amply provided with those important elements of success, viz: energy, capital and pluck. They are determined that Savannah shall maintain her reputation as THE WHOLESALE MARKET for Georgia and the adjoining States, and boasting rivals can but acknowledge the many superior advantages Savannah has for carrying on the wholesale trade. And now to the merchants and planters we would say, our wholesale merchants are now ready for you, with the largest and most complete stocks of goods to be found between Baltimore and New Orleans. They want your trade, and are prepared to offer such terms and inducements as will make it to your pecuniary advantage to trade with Savannah. All they ask is that you will come on and examine stocks and » prices, and if they cannot offer satisfactory inducements to get your trade nobody else can. They simply ask a trial. They not only want your trade now, but want to keep it, and will offer you every inducement that honorable and square dealing mer chants can, in order to accomplish that end. McDonough & ballantyne. Machinists and Founders. A few years ago it was no rare occur ance for our Southern people to send their orders for Machinery, Castings, etc., to Northern shops, but thanks to the indomi table will and perseverance of Messrs. McDonough & Ballantyne, they are now saved that trouble, for these gentlemen can boast of a large and well appointed Machine Shop and Foundry, supplied with all of the latest improvements in their line of trade. Hence there is no longer a ne cessity of continuing the suicidal policy of sending off North, East or West for any thing in Messrs. McDonough & Ballan tyne’s important branch of industry, for at their extensive establishment they are turning out work every day that only a few years ago would have been ordered from Northern shops, and that, too, at prices, and such workmanship, as will bear comparison with any similar establishment in the country. They are now prepared with a full force of experienced mechanics to turn out Iron and Brass Castings, Iron Fronts for Stores, Brackets, Iron Railings, etc., and, having a pattern-making estab lishment attached to their Foundry, pa ties can select their own design for any piece of casting desired and the order will be executed in a satisfactory manner. They also manufacture Architectural Iron Work of all kinds and styles, for churches, stores and dwellings. They have for several years made the manufacture of Sugar Mills and Pans a specialty, and always keep a large stock on hand ready for immediate delivery. Send for circulars and price lists, which are now ready. H. J. Riesek. Max Stern. Rieser & Stern, Wholesale Dealers in Cigurs, Cigarßltes, TOBACCOS, Pipes, Snuff, Etc, COR.
