New York was then far different from what it was now, and so were business arrangements, There were many there who would sympathize with what he said, and ‘who would remember New York and what it was fifty years ago, At that time when a boy entered a store he ‘was expected to work harder for small pay than he did now. For his first year he received $50. There were | Progress of the Legislati then very few large wholesale merchants, as they understood that term now, All along through Peart street, commencing at Broad street and ending a: about Peck slip, were the siores mostly of wholesale dealers in dry goods and crockery, and to bi thought of enter- any the dry goods business Ofty years ago in New York without first petting @ location in Pearl street would Dave been considered a step towards ruin, The upper part of Pearl street was occupied by retail dealers in dry goods, und Bowery roid, which led to New Haven, At that time New York. as they would perceive by looking at the ensue, coniained about one hundred and fif- seen thousand inhabitants or one-half the pre- sent povulation of the infaat city of Chicago.

What wouid some ot the young gen- Memon who were in stores now say to that? His master used to keep the keys of lug store at bis house, aud he tMr. Dodge) had to go there for them in the morning, waking up the servant lor the purp se of receiving them, and had also to return with them in the evening. Theo’ it was the ambition of young men to seo whose store should be open first in the morning, There were very few largo wholesale merchants compared with the numbor there were vow, and ho presumed there were not at the period to which Be was referring six houses in the trade tiat sold more ‘than one rwiilion of dollars annually, and a great pro- portion of them so'd from $150,000 to $400,000 per year, Having described the manner in wich good: were sent 4 «loops to different parts of the country—to Connecti- ut, Now Jersev, Albany, &c,—Mr. Dodge mentioned What tradors knew exacily when to expect their cus- tomers, whose goods were sent from Peck slip or the Nomb river to Atbany, and = then en On deams and teamed out West.
