BLOWING Up a CHISAMAS.-An attempt was made.
early last Tuesday morning. to blow up the house
Of Lee Pow, one of our leading Chinese merchants.
At about or o'clock in the morning an explosion
took place under his house after he had gone TO bed
bit the scoundrel who desired to get rid OF Lee Pow
had made some miscalculation in fixing or placing
his powder in position, and no serious damage was
DONE further than setting rags fire and scar
ing Lee Pow almost out OF his wits. Night-wachman
Reel heard the explosion. and repairing to the spot
soon extinguished the fire. The would-be Gny
Flwkes is undoubtedly some Chinaman who has q
gndge against Lee Pow but no clue to his identity
has yet been obtained.

Hide end leather Trade.

This trade is EN- phstically onward and
upward, and with the average increase Of
the past few years there is no estimating
what it will amount to in the next five
years. The leather now manufactured in
our city, finds market in the most re-
mote corners of the Eastern and North
western States, not to say anything Of the
immense supplies forwarded to all parts of
the South. since the LIST Of January last,
our manufacturers of leather could have
sold double the quantity, if it could have
been made, without even hunting mar
ket, and dealers are now refusing orders
from st. Louis because OF orders ahead.
There is no bark of any consequence
north of Arkansas and west Of the Missis-
sippi, and attention Is consequently direct
ed to this great central back country of
ours, where tanneries viii continue to come
into existence, making this market the CEN
tire for the leather trade Of the country.
We therefore predict that the business of
leather, which has amounted In the past
year to 100000, will be doubly increased
at no very distant day. With increased IA
cilities for making leather, the deman Is for
hides will continue to improve, and the ST.
100000 expended. in handling the same dur
ingithe past year will swell to enormous pro-
portions.

Dry Goods.

Our annual report of the Dry Goods
market, while not elaborate, will afford our
readers the interesting facts that it has not
been improbable nor diminished during
the past twelve months. Many fluctua-
lions in values have occurred in the staples
Of wool and cotton, and consequent ly
prices of Manufactured goods have varied
considerably, but not to the detriment ofcon-
sumers, as the cords have been returned TO
them at prices predicated upon values at
which they sold their wool and cotton, and
at this time both are commanding salts
factory prices, as they have for the entire
year. The dry goods sales will aggregate
near three million dollars for the past
twelve months, which shows a decidedly
favorable increase over the previous year,
and conducted by good business men of no
ordinary talent, it is not to be presumed
that the business is without q satisfactory
yield of profit. Credits have been watched
carefully, and We are glad to note the fact,
that there is perhaps a much smaller loss
from bad debts than usually
affiicts our market. In fact
we have heard of very few failures Of inn
portance among our country merchants,
which commends them as generally good
character of business men. Very few
changes have been made among our vari-
Gus houses, and their business seems to
have assumed permanency in every way.
Thoroughly organized as they now are
with large capital at their command, we
can reasonably predict the coming year the
most prosperous yet, and while we do not
desire or expect to see too much anxiety
for increase of business, as will lead to
recklessness in the same, we can clearly
fortell favorable future for our market.

UNION AND AMERICAN SUNDAY 1872

Il
sequent damages to and arrangements OF
our agricultural facilities, it took us
some time TO recover and get matters so
organized as to be able to do much. But
again we had some good crops, aud the
character Of Tennessee wheat at home
and in our neighboring markets
resumed q high standing. For
two seasons back, that Of 1870, from wet
weather immediately AFTER harvest, nearly
running large crop, and thst Of 1871. from
blight and other causes, producing ne arly q
total failure, we had but little good wheat
for either home consumption or shipments
abroad. But for the present year (lS72)
we have had another extraordinary yield
per acre of fine quality, and although the
wet weather, soon after cut ting, damaged a
considerable portion more or less, yet we
have large surplus OF good wheat, and
considerable shipments have been made to
other markets, and we believe that
it is now pretty generally admitted
that the mills in the North must get the
wheat from South Of Ohio river to make
their finest grades of fancy -four. While
we do not insist that Tennessee can usually
raise as large crops as some Of the Northern
and Western States, yet the average per
acre is not so far below them as is generally
supposed, and the quality of the product is
much better. While we have our failures
and difficulties about the crop, 80 do other
sections, and altogether our farmers should
not be discouraged.
Fourth but few things has our State,
and especially Nashville and its vicinity,
made more progress than the manufacture
of -four. Only few years ago we had not
a single respectable mill in or around the
city. We believe that the Rock City Mills,
near the northeastern base of Capitol Hill,
was the first, and 1t was erected about 1853
About the same time Dickey's mill, on
Broad street, commenced. These mills made
good -four, and soon established firm
reputation. But the Rock City Mills
were soon after burnt down and
never rebuilt, while the Broad
street mill suspended during the war, and
is now used as manufacturing establish
ment of q different kind. Previous to the
erection Of these nails, the -four market Of
Nashville was supplied from the few mills
running in neighboring counties, or from
st. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, etc. Now
the numerous mills In and Immediately
around the city are making -four that win
bear the test any where and in any market.
Although some of them are not large,
yet in the aggregate when wheat is in good
order and when running full lime as they
do considerable portion Of the season,
can manufacture and put up enough -four
to give Nashville the reputation for enter
prise in this particular branch of business.
In this connection we give as follows the
names of the different mills in and around
the city, and the capacity of each to-wit:

The Provision Trade.

The magnitude of business In this most
important department Of trade has even ex-
ceeded the speculations INDUCED in by deal
ers and others at the commencement OF the
season, and the aggregate footing up for the
year will show an increase over the pre-
vious seasons business Of at least 33s per
cent. The profits of the trade do not,
however, generally show so favorably. The
season opened with the impression that
hogs would rule at about 81 90 per Genital,
live weight, or less. But Notwithstanding
the heavy crop staring packers in the face,
prices gradually advanced to 4ac., and IN
some instances, toward the close of the
packing months, as high as 4sc. was paid,
making the general average about ~
TO 45c. per pound gross. Prices for the
product continued too low in proportion TO
the AMOUNT paid for the live hogs, and
kept steadily at these remunerative rates
until about the Let of July, when it became
apparent to the trade that the low prices
prevailing for provisions Of all descriptions
had induced a large export demand, as
well as an increased consumption in the
Southern or cotton-growing States, and so
materially reduced stocks that there was
barely enough to meet current wants be-
With this view, prices have advanced
steadily since that date with more Of firm
ness now on the part OF holders than has
been exhibited at any time during the
season,
The entire packing throughout the West
for the year is 4,S68,44S head, and for the
year previous 1896, PSI head, showing an
increase Of ], lila, l97. The average weight
per hog this season is 8 lbs. per head less
than the year before. The number, how
ever, is greater by SOC, 900 head than was
ever packed in the country. These figures
do not include the number packed BY farm
ers, but only those slaaghtere in the regu-
lar way of commerce by the trade. The
fetal sales in our market for the year end
ing SIst August, will approximate the pro-
duct of 100000 hogs, which will doubtless
be still considerably increased the coming
season. -
The stock of growing hogs is large, and
he corn crop now ripe for the harvest is
