The New York Post of the afternoon of
the 4th inst. says; The loan market is
easy, and if the banks have had recourse
to any of the irregular ezpedients hereto-
fore complained of with a view to make
their quarterly statements appear favor
able, no indications of such doings appear
in the movement of money. Call loans
are 6 per cent. and discounts 1909 per cent.
Business generally appears to be improy-
ing, as there are some symptoms of reyiv-
ing confidence" .ts.

Arrival Of the 4. N. PhiIiips-Three
BaFEes of OaI-Arrangemenis for IA

The |. N. Phillips arrived yesterday
from the mouth of Indian creek, near
Rowena, KY with tow of coal from the
mines Of She Poplar Mountain Coal Conn
pany, of which Col. w. A. Hoskins is
President, She made the trip in twenty
eight hours running time, thus demon
strating her ability to make the round trip,
both ways, within the week. Capt. Lowell
is of the opinion that she can tow eight or
ten barges loaded as easily as she did the
three brought down. There was a lively
demand for the coal on her arrival, on ac-
count of its superior quality, and our
friend VIM. Dews commenced selling it at
his Office on College street Immediately,
and many loads were delivered during the
afternoon.
1t gives us great pleasure to announce
the arrival of the Phillips, because it puts
an end TO all speculatious as to the success
of an enterprise of great pith and mo-
ment" TO Nashville; and demonstrates
thatthe Poplar Mountain Coal Company
can deliver coal at this point upon an or
binary rise, the Phillips having had on
this trip much more water than she re.
quired.
We have long been ofthe opinion that the
true source of cheap fuel for Nashville was
the coal field on the upper Cumberland
and none promises better than those of the
Poplar Mountain Company. Railroads
cannot compete with river transportation,
and hence it will always be in the power
of this company 10 sell the products Of its
mines at lower prices than supplies can be
brought us by rail, though the latter may
serve 10 keep the former within the bounds
of reasonable and Just figures. 1t is for
tunate, too, that the mines of this COM
company are inexhaustible, and that
Nashville may, for an indefinite period,
look to them for all the coal she needs.
Just so soon, now, az the times get better,
we may expect to see additional manufac-
tories spring up in our midst, assured, as
they will be, Of bountiful supplies Of cheap
fuel. Let as, therefore, congratulate Col.
Hoskins, and our city too, on the success of
has enterprise, indomitabIy pursued for
years under discoursging circumstances,
but fully secured at last. IL marks the be-
ginning of new era in Nashville.

ENGLISH ESTIMATE OF GRANT.-The
SATURDAY Reciew, which rarely COM
pliments anything, particularly any
thing American, thus refers to one of
our countrymen.
A biography of Gen. Grant appears
OPPORTUNITY and nodoubt Intentionally,
just on the eve of the Presidential cleo
ton. But at any time the record of the
life Of one really great General whom
the North has produced must be inter-
esting and valuable, not only to his
countrymen, but to the world at large.
Grants character appears to be that
which we habitually associate with mil
itary heroism-that of the simple, mod
est, unaffected, but somewhat silent and
reserved soldier, apt to disdain civilian
interference and ignorant criticism in
matters professional, but paying to civil
law and civil authority true soldierly
obedience.
