  WAREHOUSES. 
  

  

  Previous 
  to 
  the 
  war, 
  the 
  medium 
  of 
  Warehouses 
  to 
  facili- 
  

   tate 
  the 
  business 
  of 
  the 
  planter 
  and 
  buyer 
  was 
  so 
  little 
  

   known 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  exceptional. 
  Danville 
  in 
  Virginia 
  and 
  Mil- 
  

   ton 
  in 
  North 
  Carolina 
  had 
  each 
  made 
  some 
  progress 
  in 
  this 
  

   direction. 
  But 
  the 
  common 
  practice 
  was 
  to 
  sell 
  to 
  mer- 
  

   chants, 
  manufacturers, 
  or 
  buyers, 
  of 
  any 
  class, 
  in 
  modes 
  

   most 
  convenient 
  to 
  all 
  parties. 
  Much 
  was 
  shipped 
  to 
  factors 
  

   in 
  Richmond 
  and 
  Pete-^sburg. 
  A 
  great 
  deal 
  was 
  bought 
  by
