OUR EXPECTED VISITORS.

What Memphis stands most in need OF
is manufactures that will invite popula-
ton, that will draw hither industrious me-
chanics and factory hands, and thus in
crease the population and create healthy
demand for real estate and houses for rent
or purchase. Hitherto the trend and ten
dency Of private and public effort has been
almost exclusively in the direction Of trade
and traffic. These have been increased
with amazing leaps commanding an in
crease in railroad facilities and the building
OF bridge TO facilitate the interchange of
products with as little loss of time, and
therefore OF money, as possible. Our cot
ton receipts have reached an enormous
total and our cotton market in famous
throughout the world. And 30 il our
grocery market, which is not second
to any other in point Of stock. and vari-
ETY. OF products. But our manufactures
are not as much 10 boast Of ~ they ought
to be- What we have arc doing well, but
they are neither fair offset in capital or
results TO our cotton and grocery trade
Something ought, therefore, TO be done
to invite capital for manufacturing
purposes. Our situation as distrib.
utng point, our ncarness to coal and
iron in kentucky, Alabama and Arkansas,
as well rs in our own State, make for US
superior advantages that should be inn
pressed especially upon the capitalists who
are expected TO arrive in the city next
Wednesday. Statistics should be put to-
gcthcr for their information and a map
prepared showing all Of the great railroad
systems aud the nearncss TO mines and ac-
feasibility to markets. Our local capital
lists aud real estate owners should take this
matter up with the energy they have
shown in other directions and make il a
business 10 secure factories and factory
hands.
