Show FROM AN ARTICLE IN THE DESERET NEWS on "Direct trade with Europe," we select the following: A short time ago we made some allusion to the opening up of a direct trade, in grain, with European ports from this Territory to master the details of which, Mr. S. W. Sears, of this city, took a trip to England. We related his success and spoke of the safe arrival at Hull of the ship Ivy, from San Francisco, containing the first cargo of Utah wheat shipped direct to Europe without any handling by middlemen, or payment of percentage to brokers. Only one point in the transaction of this business was then in any doubt, that was, the holding out of the guaranteed quantity and quality of grain in the vessel. This doubt was entirely dissipated when the ship was unloaded, and the Ivy was pronounced the most honestly loaded vessel that had entered that port for a long time. |
