For a number ol years the dealers ?ml manufacturers of ibis city turn? ed eat and bandied ouly goods of high gradts. Such vehicles lotiud ready sale in all the cities aud couu ties of Virginia aud Carolina. Of late yenrs ti.ey have beeu brought in direct competition with lunch cheaper, but at tbe same time, iufe rior goods from the West, resultiug in a largo reduction of tho values of wholesale business. The Noriolk xuaoulactnrcrs nave, however, plac? ed upon tbe market, especially for tbe iulaud trade, a number of cheap vehicles with which they have beeu able to meet Western prices, uud the new departure bus gaiued lost grouud. Iu 1881 tb?? total mauu faotaro wns put ot $275,000, 1894 will show 8850,000. Norfolk's deal? ers are conservative uud reliable business men who cater for the best custom.

Tbo stove and tinware business obows very substantial gaius over 1884, when the aggregate sales amonnted to $175,000. Very caro ful aud conservative estimates put the trade of 1801 at $500,000. BOOK AND STATIONERY ?? MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. Tbe dealers in books and station? ery place tbe business of 1804 at 8200,000, agniust $75,000 in 1881. This does uot inolnde tbo muoio de? partments of tho vurious stationery bouses, which amonuts to not less than $80,000, which would make a grand total of ?280,000 for this branob of trade. JEWELRY AND WATCHES. There are no exclusively wholesale houses here dealing iu jewelry, watches, etc., but the business, which is bafo and reliable, shows very eucouragiug evidences ol ttirift and prosperity. Tbe aggregate value of goods sold iu 1884 was $1(30,000, against $200.000 iu 1804. SHIP RAILWAYS. Tbe ship railways of this port are well fitted to do auy wort; in their line.

The dealers in foretgu und domes tio fruits last your did a business es tiniated ut $350.000, Their custom? ers were from a number of the Northern and Western cities,as well as the larger cities of Virginia, the Curo.ii'ii ? und Tennessee. CROCKERY AT1D GLASSWARE. The various dealers iu crockery and glassware will sell goods auutial Ij to tho value of $350.000. Tbo trade is retail almost exclusively, though several dealers sell to couu try merchants at priooa to meet, the competition of Northern cities. The trade iB coutined to Norfolk and Burroundiug counties aud Eastern North Carolina. DREWERS' AGENTS. There is on extensive trade in malt liquors uud mineral wators.

This is one of Norfolk's important Industries?a trade which extends all aioug the Atlautic coast, from Muiuo to Mexico. The company's property is located at Money Point aud covers twenty tive acres. The goods niuuu faotured are guaranteed to staud for a given number of years, and owing to tho non inter? ference of iuaect8, is much in de? mand for piling iu Southern waters. The company employs about luu hands and its business will aggre? gate about $125.U00 annually. The business was established in 1886, ICE MANUFACTURE The manufacture of ice iu Norfolk It one of tbe recently established industries, aud has met with most satisfactory results. Tbe LuHuesB now employs 100 bands, who ore paid from$l to $2.50 per day. Ico is manufactured to supply the home trade, also customers in all the tow us along tbe North Caroiiua coast shipments are made via rail and by steumor iu lots raug iug from 1 to 100 tons. The ag gregate of business last year amounted to about $150,U00. No comparison can bo mudo with 1884, as the trude tbeu handled only ice from tho rivers of New England, aud was confined almost exclusively to home consumption BAGS AND BAGGING The sale of bags and bagging for all purposes, inctudiug huc? Ktu/T* as are used,by the truckers iu shippiug vegetables will amount to about $50,000 annually, uud us tbe truck? ing trado increases tbe demand for goods of Ibis hue will become greut er. It is n line in wbiob there is an excellent opportunity lor develop meut. The customerh are generally local, LEATHER AND FINDINGS. There are two dealers in leather and hboe findings, whose aggregate trade amounts to $35,000 pur year. Their cuhtomers are local, being confined to Norfolk and the stir ?'?;; 1 rounding counties. There bus boeu pome slight improvement iu tbe volume of trade during tho last four years, but uo euergetio effort hau bceu in a de tu develop or extend. MISCELLANEOUS. The Virginian bus enumerated tho more prominent lines of trade, giving tho value of tho oporatioua annually, but in every commercial centre there are feeders to tho gen eral business too numerous to men tiou uud not of sutlioieut importance to be siugly couutud iu tbo detail ro view, hut iu the recapitulation uuder the head of miscellaneous count for mere tunu many of the larger single hues of trade. Under this bead Tub Virginian reports a number of smaller liues, whose aggregate value is about S2,000.000 annually. RATES OF WAGES.

An ap? propriation of S150.000 has been made by tho Government for the erection of a uew postoilice build ing, Tbe Cotton Exchange bus a marble front, The Norfolk Aesd emy was modelled by Walter, one of the architects of the Nuiioual Cup itol, "uftor the Temple of Thesous ut Athens." Tho United Statos Na vnl Hospital is a massive building, also with classic front. It cost gtJOO , ODO. Tho New Atlantic: has a block frontage and cost about S250, 000. The most expensive ohurcb is St. Mary's Catholic whioh cost SS?.OO.I, and next St, Luke's Episcopal, which cost $!5f>,000. The new Methodist Church in course of ercotiou will cost $100,000. Tbe new Alar ket House aud Armory cost S100.000. It is one of tbo lar? gest buildings of tho kind in the South, aud tho Armory Hall is said will hold au audience of (3,000 per sous, A number of the churches are of splendid architocture,uotably St. Mary's Catuolio, St. Luke's Episcopal, and tbo now Methodist church, which will be one ol the haudbumest church buildings iu the South.

HARBOR OF NORFOLK II B8S SO EQUAL FOR C0HKIRGI81 PURPOSES Tbo Opinion of I.lent. U. IC. liar roll?It* Advantage* anil Trib? utary Water Communlc? ntloua. Norfolk, owing to its fortunate geographical position, is necessarily oue of tbo most important bbippiug points on tbo Ailautio eoast. Ae regards safoty ami facility ot access, it bus no superior auioug tbe North? ern ports; while those further south? ward do uot iu auy degree compare with it iu cither of tho above advau taget, Tbe Gulf Stream, transporting immense volumesof tropically heated water, llowiug north, is breasted oil' to tbo eastward by Cape Haiterae. Experience shows that tbo oyolouio Storms, occurring during tbo mouths of July, August aud September.have a tendency to ro-ourvo to the east? ward iu latitudes varyiug from 28 degrees to 82 degrees uortb?Cape Hullerns being in about 35 degrees aud Capo Henry iu about 37 de? grees, north latitude. Tho warm atmosphere resting above thesurface of tbo Gulf Stream is mot by tbe cold air walls, boruu iu waves from tbe Northwest, pro? ducing gales, squalls or stormy weather; uud causing tho passage of Cape llattoros to bo generally at touded with more or less ditiioulty autl danger. Norfolk furnishes tho Grst seonro harbor to tbe northward of this capo, aud also a safe outlet through which all ot the vast inland com merco, arriving from below this point, may seuk tbe ocean. Water carriage will ever bold tbe supremacy over transportation by any other means. As regards bor advantages iu this respoct, Norfolk can claim to bo ouu of tho most favorod cities in the United States. Tbo broad entrance to Chesapeake Bay, u body of water whioh for coiumorciui purposes has no equal, allows vessels under either steam or sail to rta illy enter Hampton Hoads, where is louud tbo largest and safest harbor south of Now York. The James and Elizabeth rivers, here meeting, form a triangular estuary iu wuich large fleets of morohaut. shipping uiuy, throughout tho moat violeui gales, safely ride at auchor. There is u 20-foot channel, well marked with buoys aud lighthouses, aud varyiug in width from 100 to 1,000 yards, which leads from tbe eutraucu of Cliusapouku Buy to the wharves of Norfolk, and also boyoud to the United States Navy-yard. It is well to particularly notice this, since, notwithstanding tbo dredgiug of this eh".im. I at grout expense, by tho national government, still for eigu shippers aro not generally aware of its existence. 1'horo nro thirty two pilots al? lowed by tho State law, and the authorized pilotuge is smaller than that of any other port in tho United States, being from $2.50 to $1.00 per foot, according to the vessel's draught. Two important wator ways?tbo Dismal Swamp Canal aud the Albe marie and Chesapeake Canal?con? nect the North Carolina sounds with Chosupeuko Buy, making a purt of that system of inland navigation which extends from Beaufort aud Newberue, N, C, to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and if so desired, to tbo great Northern lakes. These waterways aro arteries, through which How from tbe Albe marie and Pamlico sotiuds, aud their tributary streams, tbe varied com? mercial products of Eastern Nortb Carolina, and territory even farther South and West. Until our attention is directed to this foot, we fuil to realize tho ex? tent to which theso iulaud pa-sages uro used; but a glance at tho statis tics of Norlolk'a lumber and atuvus trade will give au idea of their im portanoo, wheu wo relleot that, sub stautiatty, tho oiitiro tuipply of tirn bor into tbo Norfolk market may be said to arnvo through those canals. Huge rafts,liko lmmuuso serpeuts, wind uloug, eaolt iu tow of a dimiuu tive tug, tho total expense of which, though light, is yet sullicieut to allow a fair profit to tho rait-men,as well as to the lumber dealer, while the tugs return, having in tow long lines of schooners loaded with (arm iug muchiuery aud other muuufuc tured articles from the workshops of Norfolk und cities further Nortb. Tho James River aud Chesapeake Bay naturally deliver their produce at Norfolk. These, with tboir trib utary streams, represent a total length of 1,000 miles of tidal coust. That of the North Curolina Sounds further augments this to about 2,500 in lies of coast lino which, uhbough inland watei, is yet dully washed aud punned by the sali wuves. 1 ho climuto is such au equable odo that tho three neighboring sea side resorts, Oid I'oiut Comfort, Virginia Beach and Uceau View, may well deciare themsolves to be either winter or summer resorts, i'tio thermometer iu summer raugea botweeu 70 und 00 decrees Fabr., and in winter rarely falls below 20 degrees. [ The mein annual rainfall is about fifty-two iuobes, fairly distributed throughout the year, about thirty live inches boiug precipitated dur? ing that period extending from lue 1st of March to tho 1st of October, tho time wheu the crops aro grow nig. Possibly it is ?lue to this tern poring of tbe alimato by the Gulf Btreani, and also to tho certainty of au abuudunce of ruin wheu most needed, that Norfolk has become a grout trucking centre on tho Atlan? tic coa-.t. Bo thai cause what it may, those persons who have visited all parts of tho globe concur in assort iug that here is found a market which in equal io, if not superior, to any other maiket in the world. Tbe market for vegetables, game, poul? try aud fish is always excellent. Tbe oyster interest of Chesapeake Bay, though much deteriorated iu later years, owing to injudicious dredging aud insattioient protection, is now being bettor guarded through striugeut laws enacted by those States whose interests have been so Jeopardized, and oyster planting is uow being largely resorted to iu or? der to rooluce tbe devastation of tbo natural beds. Oyster culture is more profitable, acre for acre, than the raising of auy other article of food. Norfolk is tbe natural ceatro for this trade, bo far as tbe waters of the Cbosapeake Bay and its tributa? ries are concerned, and has for her only rival tho city of Baltimore, a place far more difficult of aocoss to the oy6terman. Already Lambert's Point and Newport News have become tbe greatest coaling stations on tbe At lantio coast, while the grade of coal hero handled, "Pocahoutoe" pro duces the Uuost steaming results,and is preferred by the ocean grey hounds iu making their great trans? atlantic raoos. The United States Navy yard, with its dry docks aud modern steel working machinery, aud the receut ly established ship building plant at Newport Nows, with a dry dock of greutur capacity than auy other iu America,give an assurance of having at all times, iu this vicinity plenty of skilled workmen and tbe proper taoilitiea for dockiug and repairing the largest ocean steamships. Norfolk stunde where euch ot the several lines of railroad, leading from the South and West, finds its earliest and most reliable seaboard terminus. Although large cities are some? times fotiud located inland, as Lon? don, Parin, etc., yet history shows it to be the invariable rule that at those points where there are good harbors or where largo water courses moot tbe ocean, great end populous cities will be established. Norfolk possesses both of these ad vantages, uud her hue harbor with its tributary water oomiuiiuiotitiou, assures to her the fuel thst she will in tho future become tho largest city of the Sjuth.

The oonditiousaffeoting the public health of Norfolk have steadily im? proved with the reteiisiou of a Waring Sewer System, beguu ten years ago, and Hie under the saui ury lulmistruuou of the city's Board of Health mid Health Officer, with police iissistunco. The newly an? nexed territory is not yet thoroughly sewered, but tho work is progro.-sing fast, Warned by the frightful example of Memphis, duriug ihut city's ter riblo yellow fever planne of 1878, Norl'oik commissioned thu great Civil Engineer Waring to plau its eeneis fur it, aud with some modifications his propositions have been givou effect. To bo plain, there is little natural drainage; the city is oil u deid ilat, some twelve feet above sea level, so that u well-detiued bcwer system was, to Norfolk, an ubsuluto necessity, I The system which has been pro I vided is of iron, stone and terra cotta pipe, and twenty eight miles iu luugtti?i. e., covering the whole city within the limns, excepting three or four miles' length of streets. Thu promoters of the new stibur ; bau additions have all been entur pribiug in this same dirovtiou, so that whatever else it lacks, Norfolk is vvoll sewered uud drained through out. There is a stringent Quarantine at Norfolk, aud regular suuitarv in spectiou, uo that imported epidemic is little to bu feared. The police make quarterly inspec tions of the entire corporation, aud the special sanitary inspector of the Bourd of Health is engaged steadily iu the investigation ot eomplamts. The climate, modified both sum mer und winter by proximity to the sea, aud especially mellowed by tbe neighboring ?alf btreain, is mild, equable uud agreeable at all seasons, It is much milder thau on the same peruliel inland ou tbi* amiount, The m.-uu tuuiperuture is about 70 degrees iu summer und 40 iu winter, 1 be average annual ruinfull is l>0 inches. The presence of the numerous seaside resorts in the environment of the city, which are patronized both iu summer and winter, are evidence enough of the enmstiu moderation of this distriat without further remark. There arc uo diseases especially prevalent at Norfolk or iu its vioinU ly. ulalariu is practically unkuowu. The Chesapeake aud Virginia sea coats aro singularly free Irom legs, and with sacii excellent sewerage, Norfolk is, for tho white person, housed comfortably, living cleanly und well nourished, one of thu most healthlul cities ot the world, Tbe death ruto for the whites is ubout Beveutoen iu the thousand ol population; u rate, too, it should bo noted, naturally much augmented by its floating population oi health aeekere and .lack rare. The rate lor the uegro population i.s nearly und sometimes more than double that of the whites. But this is the caso wherever they are. OF NORFOLK. ORGANIZED 1867.
