[Chicago]:

TWELFTH ANNUAL REVIEW OF THE TRADE AND COMMERCE OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO, FOR THE YEAR 1860, AS PUBLISHED IN THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, JANUARY 1, 1861.

Chicago, Illinois: Tribune Book and Job Printing Establishment, 1861. 54, [6 advt] pp. Disbound without wrappers, slight chipping to penultimate advertising leaf. Good+.

Pre-Fire Chicago was truly the mighty engine of the West. This scarce pamphlet bristles with data and tables about the Canadian Trade, "Trade with the South" on the eve of Civil War, the improvement of the Illinois River, the Grain Trade, the Cattle and Provision Trade, lumber, agriculture, dry goods, railroads, and other goods.
"During the past year the trade between Chicago and the Southern States has been much more extensive than before." However, the recent "political panic. . . has tended much to curtail the trade; but this can only be temporary. The South was never so bare of provisions and breadstuffs as at the present moment, while the West never had such an abundance."
