Colonel TrOusdale, secfetary OF the
chamber Of commerce, has laid US
under obligations for an advance copy
of "The Annual Report of the Mem
phis Chamber Of Commerce and Mer-
chants Exchange for the Commercial
Year Ending August 81, ls1." AL
though not as full as we hope succeed
ing reports will be, it is yet very
oreditabIe document. Itdeals mainly
with facts and fgures-in a double
sense, stubborn things. ApOlogizing
for the delay in publication, and ex-
pressing the hope that in the future
he may be able to furnish both
more complete and seasonable re-
port" our secretary tells US " the facts
developed in this report fairly demon
strate that new aud healthy impetus
has been given our trade, and that,
although our city may never
grow with the rspidity which
once characterized her, she viii make
more permanent strides, it being now

REVIEWING the yesr 1871, the Man
chester (England) E-anItner states
that the cotton districts have had a
return of those busy times which GER
tain prophets told US some years ago
had gone forever. The cotton manu-
facture, so far from having disap-
peared as one Of the staple industries,
has more capital embarked in IL at
this moment, and finds employment
for "a larger number Of WOrk-people,
than at any former period.

The Southern Cincinnati railroad
bin yesterdsy passed the senate OF
Kentucky by one msiOrity-the speak
er. Carlisle, giving the casting vote.
Public attention viii now be earnestly
directed to Cincinnati. What route
IN the south and west viii Gin innati
prefsr? It has been suggested, since
Mzney's Tennessee Central Pacific
road, designed to connect Memphis
and Bristol, and finished forty miles,
must be sold, that it should become
part of this great Southern Cincinnati
Ifue. and that POrkopOlis would gain
greater wealth by coming to Memphis
t1an by extending a costly road
through mountainous districts TO Chat
fsnooga. But. Malone must needs
reach the southwest. Bis Virginia
r,sds viii soon extend to Louisville
and Cincinnati, and since Tom Scott
has interpOsed in E lst Tennessee and
secured the Memphis and Charleston
road, Why may not Malone, with the
proceeds Of mortgages on his con-
solidated lines, cross the mountains
and come down into these exuberant
valleys and to this prosperous city? |
He must eli her do this or make terms |
with Tom Scott. His Lynchburg Oy-
Gan questions the sOlvency OF the
Southern Security Railway company, i
owning several great railways, but
AIahone, controlling only one road, is
eonfsssedIy able to pass mountain
barriers, come down through the
green pastures Of Middle Tennessee,
swallow Nancy, span the Tennessee
and compete with Scott for the wealth
Of the southwest. II Tom ScOtt's
shrewdness and boldness beget these
results, Memphis may have greater
reason than ever before for self graf
uIstion. Instead Of q single highway
to the ocean, we may have two direct
TO Norfolk, and a third to Cincinnati,
line connecting with that
chartered yesterday by Kentucky at
SDarta.

BuFsed-LOss, Sl50,o0o

NASHVILLE, January IA fire
broke out this morning In the whole
sale grocery store of Ewing q Co., on
South Market street. The flames
spread with great rapidity, and in
d short time the whole establishment,
two four story houses, was beyond
saving. IL was impossible to remove
the stock, nearly all Of which was de-
strOyed. There were some eleven
hundred barrels whisky in store, the
burning of which added to the inten-
sity OF the fire. The house and stock
Of NOal q Platter, dealers in -four and
graiu pext door, were also burnt.
SouthN d the leather establishment
Of John Qmsden d Co., and the
agricultural implement warehouse of
A. M. Perrins & Co., shared a like
fate. Prompt measures were taken
by the fire department to suppress the
flames, but they had too much pro-
gress to be arrested before the above
named houses were destroyed. The
total loss, including houses, will
scarcely tall short OF one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. The losses on
stocks are estimated as fOlloWsi EW-

ley" And he adds to these comfort
ing and assuring words, which we
viii show are sustained by his figures,
that tive only need something more
Of a cooperative spirit to carry us for
ward to the realization of the bright
est hopes Of those who have predicted
for our city future greatness and
wealth, and a leading position among
American cities" And so on In this
flow Of even, smooth and polished
English, 80 characteristic of our old
co-laborer and friend, We have sys-
temstic reasoning and cogent argu-
ment supported by an array Of figures
that will astonish many even Ct
those who have parti ipated in the
struggle which has resulted in what
we see Of Memphis. From compar-
stive exhibit of our cotton trade,
we learn the story of an i'm
mense growth. Beginning in 1876
with 300 bales, valued at S15, 900, we
have gone on increasing with wonder
ful Tapidity, until in 1901 we are
credited with 511, ,432 bales, valued at
S39 552, ,S56. This is certainly satisiac-
tory. Following this table we have
others which may be fttingly charac-
terized as furnishing ''a bill Of par
ticuIars" as to where this cotton came
from, what il averaged every month
in bales, price and aggregate value,
where it was shipped, by what
lines and at what rates. Leaving
cotton, we come to the chapter in the
wholesale grocery trade in which we
are told no failures occurred, and
that it amounted to SIS, 900, 600, or 100
per cent. more than that Of 1850 81.
Our wholesale dry goods trade is set
down at 100000 per annum;
the boot, shoe and hat trade at
s., 500, 900, hardware at 1900, 900;
drugs, 81, 100000 liquor, $780,
900; tobacco, $1,000, 900; clothing,
81 ,25O, 600; crockery, though not given,
is also about 81, 200, 600, and the value
of manufactured products, given with
great particularly, is put at So $685.
s49. But we have not room to-day
for more. This will suffice, we hope,
10 induce a careful reading of this
well-edited and carefully compiled
report, which reflects infinite credit
upon the secretary Of the chamber OF
commerce, especially when we con-
slider the meagre facilities afforded
him for making anything like satis-
factory exhibit of our commercial &C
tivity and growth In trade.
