Some of the large dealings in clothing in
1865 it will be seen subsidized as suddenly as
they rose. J. B. Boylan disappears in the
Assessors returns after May, 1855. His larg-
est manufacture was in the first month quoted,
March, 1885. when he made nearly half mil
lion dollars worth. VIM. s. Stevens business
dwindles in like manner from $556,945 in
March to $72, 286 in June. j. P. Martin, it
will be seen, made nearly 10 sr millions dollars
north Of clothing In one month, April, 1885.
He paid his tax on that months manufacture
in one check of over $191, 900. 1t will be
guessed that these special large items of man
ufacture were upon government contracts,
which ceased with peace. It may be doubted
if in any country In the world any one man
ever manufactured more clothing in single
month than the amount returned by j. T..
Martin in April, 1866, to wit, $685. O4.
Bernheimer Bros. who head the list in the
above table manufacture largely for shipment
to the Pacific coast. For large and steady
business it will be seen that Longstreet, Brad
ford G. Co. stand about IS well as anybody in
the list, manufacturing near hundred thou
sand dollars worth each month. The house
judge has New England connections, as,
frequently see Mr.. Bliss, who is of the house,
in company with Maine meIi It is very
sound and reliable house, steady-going and
firm. The present style of the house is BRAD
FORD, WELLEs &C.,, and its place of bust
ness. instead of the coSner of Franklin st., is
in Reade ST., No. 20, near Broadway, and in
the vicinity of Stewards downtown store,
where they occupy three floors of two spa
cious stores. Your merchants purchasing
clothing in New York would do well to con-
suit this house, which they may do with the
assurance of being well treated.
All the clothing-houses in the table above
and many hundreds more, are located in the
Fourth Collection District, which embraces
the third, fifth, sixth and eighth Wards of New
York city, comprising that portion of the city
bounded west by the North river from Libel-
ty street to. Hammersly street, north by Canal
street from Bowery to Broadway, south by
Liberty street between Broadway and North
river, and east by Broadway from Liberty to
Vesey streets, Park Row, Chatham street and
the Bowery to Canal street. It includes the
east side of Broadway from Liberty street to
Chambers street, both sides Of Broadway from
Chambers street to Canal street, and the east
side Of Broadway from Canal street TO Hous-
ton street; the east side of Chatham street
and Of the Bowery as far up as Canal street;
Canal street on the south side from Bowery to
Broadway, and both sides from Broadway to
the North river; together with all portions of
the cross streets included within the foregoing
boundaries.
The largest head Of manufactures in this
| district is undoubtedly clothing, of which, ac-
cording to the returns, the monthly amounts
manufactured ranged, for the ten months
May, 1855, to February, 1855, both inclusive,
from over eleven million dollars for May, 1866.
to a little over one million dollars in January,
1865. This manufacture, however, is one
which is carried onin certain months of the
year, the largest months work being done in
May and November. In November, 1855, the
amount of clothing manufactured in the
Fourth District was about eight and half
million dollars.
Sugar, that is to say the refining of sugar,
is the next most considerable manufacture in
the District, the value of the same refined, in
some months being nearly two and three
quarter million dollars.
1t is queer transition, but something in
the last paragraph reminds me Of attendance
yesterday at st. Adams church, which is un-
der the supervision of the Protestant Epi CO.
pal Bishop of this diocese, and is, indeed, I |
believe, one of the chapels of Trinity; but |
there was little or nothing yesterday to distin-
guish the services from those of the Roman |
Catholic "persuasion,oo do not know that |
incense was burning, but something was. The |
ornate altar was lighted upby candles. There
was procession of altar-boys in white, the |
foremost one bearing the cross. The priests
if I may so call the attending clergymen,
three in number, performed the service with |
their backs for the most Of the time to the
congregation. The responses were intoned, |
instead of being said. The contribution box
es, which were carried around by three or |
four of the most ultra fashionable young men
of the city, were in the shape of shallow Kos
suth hats, and the principal clergyman's garb
was black robe, with white one over it |
reaching to the knee, and with green trim
mings. The sermon was left OUTPUT the |
signs of the cross made by the priests, the in
toned responses, the bowling by the congrega-
ton as often as the name of our Saviour was
mentioned, the candles, &C., were more strik-
ing than written sermon.
With thus much of the secular and clerical |
clothing of our city, must bid your readers
adieu for the time. D.

Sir Morton Peto's new book on America thus |
sums up with regard to the present pursuits |
of some Of the late confederate leaders:
Sherman's antagonists are in the express
and railroad business. The once-dreaded Beau |
regard win sell you ticket from New Orle- |
ans to jackson; and ii you want to send a |
couple of hams to friend in Richmond, Joe |
Johnston, once commander of great armies
will carry them. The man whose works Grant |
moved upon at Donelson, edits an Indifferent
newspaper in New Orleans, while the COM
mander Of the rebel cavalry at Corinth is his
local reporter. Marshall practices law in New
Orleans; Forrest is running saw-mill Dick
Taylor is having good time in New York
Roger A. Pryor is daily practitioner in the
courts.
