Trade the past week has been remark
ably dull; numbers of our merchants are
complaining of slow sales and few buy
,ers outside of the city trade. This is
caused more especially by the number
of logging camps which have suspend
ed work until spring. as the mills have
supplies to last until spring, and it not
being safe to tow RATS during the windy
season.
The Seattle Coal Company is now
mining and shipping an average of 100
tons of coal per day. A ship is now at
their wharf loading with 1,600 tons of
coal, worth now in San Francisco $14
per ton.
Our lumber mills during the past year
have all been making money. Lumber
has been in COED demand at paying pri-
ces, and there is no reason Why any of
them should fail if they confne til en-
selves to their milling business and let
outside specuiations alone.
We understand that the temporary
embarrassment of one Of our large mill
companies is over, and that changes
have been made in San Francisco which
will strengthen the financial response
bility and standing of this comp any.
From the New York Times we learn
that the estimate of the lumber product
of Puget Sound country for 1873 is
250, 100000 feet.
Stuart Crichton & Co., of this city,
are rapidly building up large branch
of commerce in the manufacture and
sale of very superior ale, porter and la
ger beer.
In our money market there is no
change to note. There is good de-
mand for loans on real estute for i'm
provement purposes at "a per cent. per
month for long loans; at the bank
discounts 2 per cent. per month is ask
ed, with limited accommodation offer
ed outside of regular customers.
Up to December 81, 1872, Jay Cooke
4 Co., financial agents for the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, had sold
2, S17, 800, 900 of first mortgage bonds of
that road. On the I'd of January the
semi-annual interest was paid, amount
ing to S769. .355. coin. These bonds are
now conceded first class investment
and are growing in favor. The security
based on the lands of the company is
undoubted. We learn from an undoubt-
eu source that the directors of this COM
pany let contracts for the building
and equipping of 800 miles of road on
the Pacific division this year. This
cannot but be a great benefit to the Ter
ritory and to Oregon. as it will give en-
ployment to our laboring classes and
will bring to this coast not less than
$4,000, 900 of Eastern capital to be put
into general circulation within the next
liine months. This will stimulate every
branch of trade, and business will be
good. There will be demand for labor
at good wages, and times next summer
must inevitably be better than ever be
fore.

When before the Senate Military Committee,

the bay Of San Francisco by his road during
the present season, nearly all had left the
harbor on shipboard without any special port
charges, wharfage or other tolls. This is claimed
by the opponents OF the Goat Island bill az practical

part OF the island to the railroad Is essential In

THE CITY.

1t will be seen from the proceedings
of the general council, elsewhere pub
lished, that initiatory steps were taken,
yesterday, toward the accomplish
ment of all the sanitary mes-
sures prospOsed by the AP-
PEAL and the city press generally.
We are gratifei at this, and so will be
all our citizens. Mayor johnson, as We
all have, has learned by the epidemic
what our needs and necessities, in a
sanitary sense, are, and the gen.
eTal council seem to realize
Ehat the people of Memphis have deter
mined upon a thorough system Of sew
.erage, and that the board of health shall
be gifted wi b powers OF the most lati-
tuiinarian character. They have at last
walked up. Let us be thankful.
But, gentlemen of the council, continue
The good work you have so promptly
commenced, and let us be able, before a
month rolls round, to thank you and
and place to your credit a code of ordi-
nanees tF.at shall make Memphis one
of the cleanest and healthiest cities in

COME HONE AND HELP Us.


At last we are able to say there are nc
new cases Of yellow-fever, and Of the
one hundred and seventy-eight report
ed, ninety-four are convalescent, leav-
ing only eighty-fOur that are at all
doubtful. This is a most gratifying ex-
hibit, and proves that we are at last in
a fair way to be freed of the scourge.
Thank God, we say, most SIM
cerely and devoutly. The deaths
yesterday, according to the mOrtuary
report elsewhere published, were only
four from yellow-fever, three from
other causes, and seven altogether.
Ia view OF these facts we urge our pee
pie TO return home and resume their
duties. They may be assured Of a
heartfelt welcome. We want to see
our streets resume their wonted life, and
We anxiously desire that the stream of
business shall again flow deep and
strong in its usual channels,
and to see country customers
shronging the stores of our
merchants. Memphis has suffered
much. Every man who pretends to be
her friend, who owes any Of her people
a cent, cannot better prove that friend
ship than 10y paying promptly in
cotton or money. Our dry-goods,
hardware, grocery and other merchants,
have large stocks Of goods on hand and
are ready and determined to sell as
cheap as any Of their more favored
brethren OF other cities. Try them, and
50 extend US a helping hand in the
great work Of frecuperstion.

The Te-opening of the exposition
building which takes place on next
Tuesday week, the eighteenth instant,
will be a grand affair. Already con-
tributOrs are sending in their speci-
mems, and the exhibition of articles
promises to be one Of the most brilliant
and varied ever collected in any city
south Of st. Louis. The extent of the
building, and the enlarged and import
ant additions that have been made to
it, offer every opportunity for
a full aud satisfactory exhibition Of each
article. Then the country, of which
Memphis is the center and representa-
tive, offers in its population the very
material, which inventors of machinery
and patent-righted improvements in all
the departments of industrial life, desire
10 become acquainted with their wares.
This population concentrates in
Memphis during the days the ex-
position is open to the public, hence
no better medium of advertisement
so cheaply and effectually pre-
sents itself to the inventor or
patentee, than that of exposing his in
ventions in a safe and comfortable build
ing, to public inspection. To secure ad-
vantageous positions in the building,
applications should be made without
delay to the executive committee OF
the exposition, as only some ten or
twelve days intervene before the open
ing. The fever has now almost disap-
peared, is receding every day, and by
the eighteenth instant will be en- irely
gone. There is not the slightest danger
in strangers visiting the city. All our
absentees are Tc'"r7ing, and nothing
stands in the way making the expo
sitiOn a grand success. Let our country
friends send in their articles at once,
and we promise them a feast of reason
as well as a jolly time during the twenty
three days and nights of the exposition.
