"The highest cash market prices paid for negroes of both sexes at all times.
Wm. W. Hall."
"Cash for Negroes.—I will pay the highest cash for likely young negroes of both sexes, from 10 to 30 years of age. All those that have such to dispose of would do well to give me a call before selling. I will also attend to shipping of negroes to any of the Southern ports, free of charge, when left with me; as I have a private jail for the safe keeping of servants. For further information, inquire at my office at Union Hotel, Union-street, or through the post-office.
G. W. Apperson."
The following is taken from a New Orleans paper:—
"Slave Depot.—J. Buddy.—Slave-yard and boarding-house, 159, Gravier-street, second door from Carondelet.
"House-servants and field-hands for sale at all times. Slaves will be received on board or sold on favorable terms. The building is a large three-story brick house, and very commodious as a slave depot. Particular attention will be paid to the health and cleanliness of all slaves placed in this yard."
From the "Missouri Republican," St. Louis, July 13, 1849:—
"Removal.—Blakey & McAfee have removed to No. 93, Olive-street, six doors west of their old stand. They are prepared at all times to pay the highest prices for negroes. They have also a good secure yard, with a strong jail attached, and are prepared to board negroes sent to this market for sale. Persons having negroes for sale will please call and see us. Those wishing to purchase can find what they want at our yard.
Blakey & McAfee,
No. 93, Olive-street."
