Descrição
Resumo:In this article, the object of study was the store owned by Coronel Joaquim da Cunha Diniz Junqueira in Ribeirão Preto, which sold manufactured goods and also local products. That made it possible to verify the trading flow in several spheres. The Study was based on the analysis of the cash book found in private files in the Boa Vista Farm Documentation, during the years 1891 and 1892, which allowed to clarify how the commercial relationship was given among the store, customers and suppliers and with that, we could identify the role of that commerce in the chain business of its owner. We could also check the importance of the coffee trading, which was used as currency for many of the credit relationships. Coffee was the financial leverage for granting credit, in such way that, the store did not only supply manufactured goods or agricultural products, but also credit.
