"NOTICE.--This is to inform my former acquaintances and the public generally, that I yet continue in the slave-trade, at Richmond, Virginia, and will at all times buy and give a fair market price for young negroes. Persons in this State, Maryland, or North Carolina, wishing to sell lots of negroes, are particularly requested to forward their wishes to me at this place. Persons wishing to purchase lots of negroes are requested to give me a call, as I keep constantly on hand at this place a great many for sale; and have at this time the use of one hundred young negroes, consisting of boys, young men, and girls. I will sell at all times at a small advance on cost, to suit purchasers. _I have comfortable rooms, with a jail attached, for the reception of the negroes_; and persons coming to this place to sell slaves can be accommodated, and every attention necessary will be given to have them well attended to; and, when it may be desired, the reception of the company of _gentlemen dealing in slaves_ will conveniently and attentively be received. My situation is very healthy, and suitable for the business. LEWIS A. COLLIER." The "St. Louis Daily Union" of August 26, 1847, contains the following:-- "ONE HUNDRED NEGROES WANTED.--The subscriber wishes to purchase one hundred negroes, of both sexes, for which I will pay the highest price, in cash. I can be found at all times at No. 104, Locust-street, by Gerard's stable. WM. JOHNSON." "NEGROES WANTED.--For two hundred negroes, the highest prices will be paid by B. W. POWELL, City Hotel, or 51, Front-street." The "Daily Reveille" (St. Louis), of the same date, contains the following:-- "WANTED to purchase, thirty or forty young negroes, by CURLE & GODDIN, 79, Olive-street." The following is taken from the "St. Louis Republican:" "NEGROES WANTED AND BOARDED.--The highest cash price paid for young likely negroes, at 104, Locust-street, between Third and Fourth, adjoining Gerard's stables. "N.B. Our house will be well secured, and afford the _advantages of a jail surrounded by walls, and a basement cell in it_. WHITE & TOOLY." The following two are found in the "Evening Mercury" of Jan. 14, 1848, published in New Orleans:-- "SLAVES WANTED.--Wanted to purchase, slaves of every description, at the New Orleans depot, No. 156, Common-street, for which liberal prices will be paid. Slaves will also be sold on commission, and purchasers are invited to call and see a well-selected lot of slaves offered at low prices. ELIHU CRESWELL."
