The trade in this department for the past
year shows large increase over previous
years, and gives hopeful indication that
Nashville is becoming the great centre for
drovers and shippe 8. During great por-
ton of the year under review, many ship

The Boot an d shoe Trade.

There is no branch of the mere anti
business In our city more prosperous than
the boot and shoe trade. Our merchants
repro senting the departma nt of business are
all, so to speak, live men Of enterprise and
capital, and will compare favorably with
their competitors in any market in the Uni
ted States. They work up their business
to its utmost capacity. Their lines of goods
are now all full. Stocks were never better
in Nashville, or more inviting or prices
more satisfactory. A stroll through one Of
these immense shoe houses, Eve say i'm
mense because they occupy the finest and
largest buildings in our beautiful city, will
satisfy any purchaser that he need seek no
other market 20 purchase his fall supplies.
As an evidence of the growth and magni-
tide of the wholesale trade of our city it Is
only necessary to say that we have six first
class wholesale shoe houses, to-wit: Adams,
Throne & Co., Carrick, HCllins & Co,
Cooke, Settle & Co, Pigue, .Mauier, Hall
& Co, Shepherd, Hooper & Co., and Hol-
Inns, Burton s. Co., supplying with their
goods large portion of East, Middle and
West Tennessee, North Alabama, North
Georgia, North Mississippi and Southern
Kentucky. They have handled within the
past twelve months near forty thousand
cases Of goods, and their sales amounting to
over two millions Of dollars. We can re-
commend with Confidence the shoe trade OF
Nashville as being equal in amount of stock,
quality of goods, and prices asked, to that OF
any city west Of Boston.

we are lot at present. prepared TO venture
an opinion. The reports that have reached
US as regard to The growing crop are some
what c jhaiciipg. IN some neighborhoods
aud counties the crop is re orted as Of good
appearance and large, while in others it is
reported sh7 rt, and looking badly. We are
satisfied that q considerable amount of the
crop is late, great deal of which may be
caught BY frost, or cut green, and that in
some sections there has been too much rain,
which rendered it impossible 10 give it the
proper cultivation, while In other sections it
has. been too ory,anc, consequently, s.unted
in growth. Hence it is difficult to ferrn .
correct op nioa as to quantity or quality,
and we all have to wait for farther develop
ments. We fear the crop wilLlack uniform
ity as to quality, and that it viii not be as
good as we had hoped-thoaeh perhaps
some larger than last crop-and if much
larger than last crop, prices will doubtless
be lower than they were the last season.
T In connection with the above, we give
as follows statement furnished by E. B.
Stahlman, Contracting Agent of the Louis

The whisky trade of Nashville and the
5th district of Tennessee has greatly in
creased in the last five years, more so than
sny Other department or branch of trade.
. - manufacture of whisky in this dis riot
is beirs increased by capital and mschin-
esv. aud our products will compare favora-
biz with any other point in the United
States Imitation brands of Tennessee
whisky are being made extensively in many
of the lai ge Western cities, and branded so
near like a genuine Tennessee whisky that
the stamp must be- carefully read to dis
cover the imposition. This is undou bted-
edly done for the reason that our whisky
stands high, and is called for by the trade.
No manufacturer in Tennessee uses any
Western brands for their goods, for the rea-
son it would damage the sale of their
whisky, which ought to be satisfactory evil
dence to the jobber that this is the market
to buy in. Merchants South of Nashville
have and are daily being satisfied that the
best WHISTLES made can be bought in this
market, with our advantage of less rates of
freights, and hence the great increase in
this trade, The trade of this district now
extends from here to Texas, and the sales
amount in round numbers for the past
year TO one hundred thousand barrels, val
ued ct five million dollars.
five add to the above estimate, the i'm
ported brandies, wines etc., sold in this
market, it will swell the business to between
$6,0OO,000 and 81, O0O, 900.
The trade in malt liquors, too in this
market for the past year is no small item,
and it is appropriate here to refer to this ad-
juuct of the Liquor business. We have
now only one brewery In this city which o i
an average turns out 600 kegs per week,
which at cost of $2.75 per keg amounts to
$3.50 per week or $85,e09 per an
pum. If we add to this the Cincinnati
beer brought to this market, and OF which
there is an agency here, We approximate
to the sales at one half of the above, and'we
find the annual business in larger beer
alone, not to say anything of ales, porters ETC.,
manufactured here and brought from other
points by dealers amounts TO $128,7l3.OO.

Corn and Oats.

From careful estimates ob aimed from re-
liable sourcs, we can safely say that from
Sept. l, 1872, to Aug 81, 1873, Nashville
has handled 100000 bushels corn, worth
S63S, 900, and &c., 900 bushels of oats, worth
$4,000. Geo. r. Knox, Assistant General
freight Agent of Nashville aud Chattanoo-

hauled by his road from all points and

Year by year, this question becomes more COM

the farmers are aalsihg i"what can we do uuaer

Irish or German farm-hands, because the small
profits realized from farming In Dorchester Will
not Justify The farmers in paying twenty or thir-
ty dollars per month and board for laborersI no
matter now bad they may be needed, and that
class of men can secure these wages elsewhere
But there is another source from which TO secure
Iaborers for most Of the light work on the farm
and that Is from the Houses OF Refuge Ia large
