These are going onto Testcenter in a day or two. And there is still the possibility of further adjustments.
Note: after decoding TH's formatting, the skill boxbreakdown appears to be like this:
Business3 has "+1 Vendor" and"+100 Vendor Item Limit"
Business 4has "+1 Vendor"
Novice Merch gets "+1 Vendor" and "+150 Vendor Item Limit"
Management 1-4 each has"+1 Vendor"
Efficiency 1-4 each has "+1 Vendor"
Master Merchant has "+1 Vendor".
Reading his post, it might look like that having Merchant 0004 would give you ten vendors, which is probably not the case.
Personally, I think this makes the Efficiency branch a bit too heavy, but we'll see how things work out. One idea I put forth was to tweak the numbers to this:
Business3 has "+1 Vendor", "Vendor Limit +100"
Business 4 has "+1 Vendor"
Novice Merch has "+1 Vendor" and "Vendor Limit +100"
Management 1-4 each have "+1 Vendor"
Efficiency 1 has "+25 Vendor Limit"
Efficiency2 has "+1 Vendor"
Efficiency3 has "+25 Vendor Limit"
Efficiency4 has "+1 Vendor"
Master Merchant gets "+3 Vendor".
Efficiency always sounded like the proper place to put limit increases, with management for number of "employees", and Master really needs more than a single vendor increase,IMO.

Update:
TH posted later on (page 4) that Master Merchant will be getting 300 items per vendor. So Master gets3600 items total (12 * 300), x4x4 gets 2750 items total (11 * 250).

Sounds fine to me, i've never had over 100 items on my food or drink vendor (it sells too quick 
)
)

The new limits sound great to me 
I'll keep Master Merchant for a while, though, as TH hinted that there might be other "sweeteners" added to the Master box later. I wouldn't ever be able to use all the capacity (3600), as my business just isn't that big, so if the master box doesn't get some serious loving, I'll probably drop it later, along with a few others...
Besides, the idea of managing TWELVE seperate vendors is a bit staggering...

Why increase the number of vendors? Why not just increase the item limit? I dont want to have 3 vendors up for my chef business....and im definitely never going to use 12 vendors....But thats just me; it may be different for other merchants

Limits take 2 (or is it three?)

Key points:
1) Limits are a tad higher at Master.
2) Limits are now aggregate (total number of items across all vendors). So a Master Merchant could have 4000 items on a single vendor.
3) Removed additional vendors in Efficiency 1 and 2 (3 has a limit increase, 4 has a limit increase and an additionalvendor).
