ROCK ISLAND DIsTILLERY.

In 1856 John Warner and William Eggle-
ston erected large distillery on the ground
where the present distillery stands. 1t was
well provided with engine rooms, malt hous-
es, corn cribs and accommodations for keep
ing and fattening cattle and hogs, and gave
soon became an institution of great value TO
our county, affording a convenient and regu-
lar market, especially during seasons when
the close of navigation rendered business
ued, and found ready sale in New York,
St. Louis, and Chicago.
In June 1864 it was struck by lightning
one evening, during a terrible thunder storm
and entirely consumed. Mr.. Eggleston,
who was then the sole proprietor, and had
been for some years, was running it to its
highest CAPACITY, and making money rapid
~ The fire was a terrible blow to his bus
mess prospects, but with the energy of a
true business man he set at work, at once,
and rebuilt the establishment, in the very
best style and at very heavy expense
and added to it splendid set of machinery
and apparatus for manufacturing alcohol,
gin, brandy, &c. &C., made by Mcguire,
Wolf & Bury, of Chicago.
The following year he sold the establish
ment to J. Conkhn, of Davenport, and Ed.
ward Boss, of Chicago. The former gentle
man was at that time conducting a large
wholesale liquor store at Davenport, which
business he continued in conjunction with
the distillery. At about that time, Law
was passed by congress prohibiting the dis
tilling of alcohol in the same establishment
with that of highwines. The fine apparatus
connected with this establishment was there
fore taken out, and was soon after put in
operation at Mr.. Conklin's liquor establish
ment at Davenport, where it still remains.
After carrying on the business for some
sold out to the present proprietors, Messr
Babcock & Mcguire, of Chicago, who ar
now doing business there.
This distillery is advantageously located
at the lower limit Of our city, on the banl
of the river, and is connected by good roads
with the country. Its machinery and equip
ments are comparatively new, and are capa
BILE of turning out as good an article in thei
line, as any other distillery in the country
Since its establishment, it has been of grea
benefit to our city and county, and has bee
the means of disbursing here, among GU
people, an immense amount of money draw
from other sections.
The present proprietors are gentlemen {
experience in their present line, understan
their business, and we think will prove
valuable addition to the capitalists, and Blu
mess men of our city.

Dirty Work Logan is in very bad luck
He made himself sick with too much of the
Western Reserve whisky in trying to carry
Ohio for the radicals. He was promised
the sum of $4,000 for his effort in that d.
rection. 1t now appears that there is some
dispute about paying him the money; he
certainly did not find his reward in political
success, and he came off badly in his en-
counter with Bourbon. The poetic princi-
pie of retributive justice is asserting itself at
last, and it will be some time before Logan
will be politically convalesceut.

Dry Goods.

The statistics Of the dry goods business
Of New York present some very remarka-
BILE figures; but they only partially reveal
the importance Of this great branch Of
trade since they can only reliably present
the actual facts as connected with foreign
fabrics. The total importations during the
fiscal year ending on the Both Of June
amounted to l03,5O0,000, being about
S33, 800 900 less than the amount imported
in the previous year; but being greatly in
excess Of the importations OF any other
year, except in 1S59-60, when they
amounted to the very large sum Of Sl07,-
100000. These figures show that, while
the importations Of the past year were
not excessive, they were fully equal to our
necessities, and will not warrant any con-
siderable increase during the coming year.
But our capacity for absorbing dry goods
is almost unlimited; and the general pros
perity Of the country, and the unusual
abundance Of our great crops, give indi-
cations Of lively trade in the fall.
The imports Of the past week have been
exceedingly small, amounting to but g.
460, 1000, against Sl,4l3,l86 in the same
week last year. The market for foreign
goods has been quiet during the week, but
considerable activity and an early revival
are anticipated; the prospects are en-
couraging for importers, and no reduction
Of prices can be looked for. The advance
in prices abroad will not permit any re.
duction here, and our importers, who have
had rather hard time Of it during the
past twelve months, will have an opportu.
nifty to make up for years losses.
In domestics there is no very marked
change to report, though, in spite Of q
broken holiday week, there have been in
dications OF increased business. Both in
brown and bleached goods the demand has
improved, with slight hardening Of
prices but in the finer grades OF bleached
goods prices are not so firm. There is
more doing in heavy drills and denims,
but the lighter descriptions are in less de-
mand.
There is less inquiry for prints, but good
styles adapted to the season are wanted,
and the stock in first hands is very limited.
In delaines, woollens, carpets, and other
descriptions, the market is not essentially
changed since last week. The holiday Of
the 4th, and the hot weather, have inter.
fered with the regular course Of business,
and rendered prices in the non-speculative
articles temporarily stagnant.
1t is long time since there has been q
sensational failure in the dry-goods trade
and the report Of the suspension Of the eI
tensive firm Of Geo. A. Wickes & Co., last
week, naturally causes considerable com
motion, and leads to the anxious inquiry
