Printed circular letter on blue paper, 11 ¼ x 9 ¼, text entirely in French. A periodic report from the company offering its assessment of the cotton market, with statistics showing number of bales shipped from various ports (New Orleans, Mobile, Atlantic States, Texas, and Florida) and with comparisons between 1856-57 and 1857-58 (through September of each year); this report notes improvements in the financial situation from its previous report (translation: "as money is more abundant, our banks have been able to expand their operations and thus facilitate cotton transactions") despite "frequent and considerable fluctuations in prices during the month, the market having been depressed by notices from Europe." The only reference we have found for J. E. DuMont & Co. is an 1859 partnership dissolution suit filed in Mobile's Chancery Court that describes the company as a "general and commission-merchant in Mobile"; the case eventually found its way to the Alabama Supreme Court. Addressed verso of integral leaf to Messrs. J. & C. Heydecker in New York, old fold lines, else very good.…

A rare and highly evocative example of an 18th-century "Preis-courant", or commodity price current, published in Pressburg (modern-day Bratislava, capital of Slovakia). Such documents, produced at regular intervals, often weekly, served as indispensable instruments of commerce, providing merchants and their correspondents with up-to-date market prices for a wide range of goods.The present work, dated 2 April 1781, is a particularly attractive sheet. It combines a finely engraved panoramic view of the city with a densely organised tabular listing of commodities, arranged in four columns on both sides. Prices are carefully entered by hand in ink, in florins (fl.) and kreuzer (kr.), reflecting the customary monetary system of the Habsburg lands. The mixture of printed framework and manuscript additions is characteristic of privately published price currents, which were distributed rapidly and updated locally to reflect current market conditions.The range of goods listed points to the thriving trade in raw materials, medicinal substances, and colonial produce. As was common practice in the 18th century, many items are recorded using Latin nomenclature, underscoring the document's relevance to apothecaries, wholesalers, and international merchants alike. Such lists offer a vivid cross-section of early modern trade, from local agricultural products to exotic imports circulating along established commercial routes.At the time of publication, Pressburg occupied a position of considerable importance within the Habsburg Monarchy. Situated on the Danube, it functioned as a major trading hub linking Vienna, Buda, and the wider regions of Central Europe. Until 1783 it also served as the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, and as a major administrative and cultural centre where German predominated as the language of official and commercial communication. Its mercantile community, comprising traders, professionals, and artisans, played a key role in sustaining long-distance trade networks.The work has been folded, the folds are slightly torn along the edges. Otherwise in good condition. With an engraving of Pressburg (Bratislava), and an engraved title.…

*The flag on Allin's shop appears to be a variant of the Union Jack, and assuming that is correct, it would imply that the date for the print is 'not before' 1801, when the Union Jack was designed, following the Act of Union 1801, which united the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland (previously in personal union) to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The architecture and the design of the clothes of a couple of figures shown would indicate a time frame of the first couple of decades of the 19th century. The slogan 'LADIES NEW INVENTED STAYS' provides another clue as 'Stays' was the term used for the fully boned laced bodices worn under clothes from the late 16th or early 17th century, until the end of the 18th century. A related view dated 1822 may be seen on BIRMINGHAM HISTORICAL FORUM. The copyright imprint is not recorded in the BRITISH BOOK TRADE INDEX.…
