Not the least of calamities that hsve
befsllen the eommerce of Memphis in the
past twelve months results from the
failure of the st. Louis Transportation
Company. AS part of the commercial
history of the year the appended paper
from the President of the Company is
published: ''The boats were constructed
with the view of hauling freighcs ex-
clusively. From three to five hundred
tons it was estimate would pass over the
Memphis and Charleston railroad into
Georgia and the Carolinas weekly. Dis
appointment met IS in this calculation. I
will here explain: The Memphis and
Charleston railroad terminates 1t Stephen
son, Alabama, this fact many Of our
merchants are ignorant of, from that
place to Chattanooga, thirty-eight miles,
is controlled by the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga and the Georgia State road, sns-
tanned and backed up by the Nashville
and Northwestern road, and the Mobile
and Ohio road, connecting at Union City,
branching from Hickman and Columbus,
each demanding that no freight from our
line of boats should pass over that road
int Georgia or the Carolinas, only at their
will or pleasure. This edict, on the part
of these roads, discriminating against the
Memphis and Charleston railroad and our
line, at once blighted hopes of sustain
ing the boats in the st. Louis and Mem
phis trade"
The writer of the above, Captain Nc
Manus, believed shat the steamers Wicks
and Church might have been made profit
able in the st. Louis and New Orleans
trade. The company hat built the boats
was, however, dissolved, and the boats,
invaluable as carriers of freights, were
sold.

Steamboat Building and Repairing a
Memphis.

Through discussions that occurred in
the Chamber of Commerce, attention was
directed to peculiar attractions presented
to boat builders by the geographicallsitu-
alton of Memphis. The abundance and
proximity of timber and of all materials
used, gave Memphis advantages that
were strongly presented, and it resulted
that a.ship yard and dry docks have not
only been established, but proven most
profitable to shareholders, and advan-
tageous to the owners of steamers. As
an illustration of these facts, we give q
statement of the operations of the COM
psny from January to August, perhaps
the dullest months in the year.
Boats that have gone into the docks
once or twice during the above period:

Queen, Tug Nettie Jones, Celeste, f2,

tie Alps, OIL City, st. Francis, nine fats
and barges. Built, one wharf boat; under
construction, one side-weeel boat-value
S45, 600; two stern-wheel boats-value
$40 each, or $4,000 for both.
There are employed in the yard one hun
dred and torty-five men. The weekly
payroll is about $1,000. The saw mill be-
longing to the company produces lumber
ty-hve feet in length, and 10000 feet
day. The capital invested is Sl2O, 600.

Memnhl. as a Lumbar Markat.

- In addition to the-lumber made by To-
cal saw mills, one and a half million feet
of white pine are brought down the river
during the year. No lumber coTnpetes in
~cheapness with that made In Memphis,
but white pine is susceptible of q ''polish'
that cannot be given to the products of our
local mills. The cheapest poplar, cypress,
maple, gum, oak and walnut timber in
the United States Is sold inthis city. Two
or three firms are now engaged in ship
ping walnut to New YORK, and humber
less trees are Strengthened by the saw at
Vicksburg and shipped to Europe. A de-
mand, annually augmented, is made upon
the extensive walnut forests in the vi
Of Memphis. Those most valuable
are in the yaiieyo of the Forked Deer river
above the city, and the lowlsnds of Ar
kansas. The supply of white and yellow
pine, to the extent Of half a million feet
per snnum, is drawn from Northern Mis-
sissippi, and large quantity from Gen.
tral and Southern Mississippi.

Tonnage Of Western Rivers and Steamboat
Interests of Memphis.

While the Chamber of Commerce dis
cussed, last January and February, the
Importance of maintaining the Memphis
and Arkansas river line of packets, and
individuals were furnishing s~ubvenfions
to this and other packet companies, it was
stated by a member of the Chamber of
Commerce that 10 combination of rail-
way builders could destroy, though they
might lessen the importance of a city like
Memphis, whose position is fixed by
natural avs and by facts affecting a great
natural highway like the Mississippi. In
illustration of this fact, we present a
table from the report of the Special Com
missioner of the Revenue, showing the
tonnage of Western rivers, June so, 1869:

RAILROADS.
R~lssIsslppI River RaIIroad.

The Mississippi River railway, as we
are assured by its managers, will be speed
lily completed. Like other corporations,
engaged in similar tasks, this company
has found its financial plans frustrated by
recent events in Europe. But since the
war cannot last long, and Tennessee secu-
rities-one basis OF the company's credit
have recently advanced, we may reason
ably expect that a road winch this same
association once agreed to finish and
equip in six months, will be completed
during the next year. 1t has been alleged
that those who have possession of the
franchises of the corporation, controlling
and practically owning, as they do, an
other parallel line, will be slow to com
plete this extension of the Mississippi
and Tennessee road to Paducah, and that
the Mississippi River rail way was bought
to prevent its construction. 1t happens,
however, that the Mississippi Central road
is about to be extended coward Nashville
and Louisville, and that the value of the
Mississippi and Tennessee, and Paducah
and Troy roads, in both of which the pro-
posed builders of the Mississippi River
railway are largely Interested, are almost
valueless without the road from Memphis
to Troy station. As soon as money is
easy we shall confidently expect an exhi-
bition of greater vigor in the prosecution
of the construction of the Mississippi
River railway. 1t will soon furnish Us
the shortest route when the Ohio is
bridged at Paducah), to st. Louis, Chicago
and Indianapolis, the railway center OF
the North.
