The Treasury Department at Wash ington within the last week has receiv ed a considerable number of requests for small notes in unusually large quan tities. This inquiry was entirely unex pected, and is confidently regarded by Treasury ollicials as an indication of im proving business condition. :yY) WKKKLY TRADE REVIEW. Improvements Continues Gradual and Prudently Cautious; Messrs. Jtt. a. Dun & Co. 's Weekly Review of Trade for the week ending Saturday, June 26th, says: There is no step backward in business, although the season of midsummer is quite near. Improvement continues gradual and prudently cautious as before, although in many branches evident, where no signs of it appeared a few weeks ago. Business men of the highest standing in all parts of the country, having grad ually perceived that the tide has be gun to rise, are regulating their con tracts and investments and their plana for the future with a confidence quite unknown to them a short time ago. Great changes before the adjournment of congress are hardly to be expected, but rumoval of uncertainty is with reason expected to bring into operation buying forces which have been restrict ed for months. The main factor at this time is the steadily brightening pros pects of crops. Harvesting of wheat in some winter wheat States has already begun, with surprisingly good results in the central region and California, so" that 800,000 tons is how Called the min imum from the latter State, and statis ticians of repute calculate on 60,000,000 bushels winter wheat beyond the gov ernment estimates. Spring wheat is doing remarkably well with a practical ly unknown increase of acreage. The price has advanced li during the week, with a decraase of" 1,200,000 bushels in western receipts and Atlantic exports of 1,445,947 bushels, flour included, against 1,713,961 last year, but it is just the season when figures have no value except aa proving how erroneous were estimates of the crop of 1896. Cotton was lifted an eighth without rear on, and has fallen back as much, because every thing points to a larger crop than has been commonly expected. Iron and steel products average a small fraction lower in published quotations, but only because private concessions which are now refused were by various authori ties complacently concealed two weeks ago. Pig iron is firmer with a better demand at the east and at Chicago but the impatience of valley furnaces to re sume work keeps Bessemer and trrey forge at last week s quotation: at l ltts burg. The resume of new business material increase in orders forplates, in partfor ship building, i a baisfor agricultural implement works in structural shapes for buildings and bridges, and in galva nized pheets. One heavy contract for 300 mile's 30 inch and 100 miles 10 inch pipe, sought by the Australian govern ment for gold regions, excites many hopes in the trade. The great ore pro ducing companies are cutting prices for mesabi Bessemer, fayal, to $2. 10, ap parently in order to score the biggest possible business of the year as a basis for future - combination. Tin - has slowly advanced to 14s. in spite of l'-xJ arrival ,200 toBs of lead have baee sold. ; moderate quantities now brki' isg w-om 3.42 1-2 cents and pur chases advance lake copper to 11 l-8c. There is encouraging increase in the demand for all textile goods, even for cotton, which have so long been slow, and though it is but moderate there is nothing of a speculative character in the transactions, and prices are firmly held. Eeorders for woolens have been rather better than were expected from clothiers and fairly good for dress goods. Operations in spring goods are still deferred. While mills are somewhat better employed, and are buying to some extent, most of the purchases of wool are for speculation, nearly three-quarters being at Boston alone, and the aggregate was 8,732,800 pounds at the three chief markets, 5, 610,300 of foreign wool. Domestic wool is still held at relatively high prices at the West. Failures for the week have been 216 in the United States against 217 last year, and 24 in Canada against 24 last year. EXPRESS TRAIN WRECKED. Seven Persons Dead and the List May Reach Twenty-Five. The St. Louis express, on the Wabash Eailroad, Saturday, plunged through a trestle at Missouri City, Mo. , at five minutes of 7 o'clock, carrying down the entire train, with the exception of tho rear car, a Pullman. The gorge, which a few hours previously was practically empty, had become a raging torrent, because of a tremendous downpour of rain, and the structure weakened. Sev en persons are known to be dead, and the list may reach twenty-five. There were twenty-five passengers in the chair car, and only a few of those are account ed for. A freight train was flagged just in time to prevent it from tumbling down on the wreck. Georgia Day at the Exposition. The 26th was Georgia Day at the Tendessee Centennial. Fully 2,000 Georgians attended, and there was a splendid parade, headed by the United States Eegulars. The address of wel come was delivered by Dr. J. B. Haw thorne, formerly of Atlanta, and was responded to by Charles A. Collier, mayor of Atlanta, and then Governor E. L. Taylor, amid cheers, delivered an address. In the afternoon at the Park Club House a charming lawn party was given by the Women's Board. The Georgia Press Association and the Virginia editors united forces and were a noticeable body also. The Trouble at Key West. Gov. Bloxham, of Florida, has re- ceived dispatches from Key West say ing that the riotous demonstrations there over the threatened lynching of a negro for assaulting a white woman have subsided. As the local authorities finally succeeded in restoring order, the inability of the President to au thorize immediately the use of United States troops resulted in no harm. Battle With Tramps. Three Smith brothers had a row with a number of tramps at Sandy Hook, a suburb of Lynchburg, Va. George Wes ley Smith was shot through the heart by one of the tramps, whose name is unknown, and who escape.d. Edward Taylor, one of the strangers, was dan gerously cut about the neck and throat. It is said the Smith brothers were un armed, except that one of them had a small knife. They faced a regular fu-silade.. IN VICTORIA'S IIIII! The Procession Was Practically in Three Sections. A GREAT DAY IN LONDON. The Queen Rides Through LOudoh to St Paul's and Then Back to Buck ingham Palace. London, June 22. (By Cable) i'hi Queeh'a journey through London and the stopping at St. Paul's Cathedral for the special jubilee service, was made today without a hitch or a delay. As the Queen set out on her journey the clouds which had overcast the sky broke and the sun csme out in radiant splendor. St. Paul's was reached at noon, and after the ceremonies ftp pointed there the Queen returned to Buckingham palace via South London, reaching the palace at 1:30 o'clock. The procession was practically in three sections aa far as St. Paul's though the last two n routa to the Cathedral were consolidated as they moved into Picadilly. The first that took up its position was the Colonial procession, which formed on the embankment, moved via the mill, thence past the palace where the Queen viewed them from a window over the route to St. Paul's. The march began at 8:45 o'clock. After some delay the procession was headed by the advance party of forty royal horse guards, then followed by a band playing the "Washington Post March,'' by Sousa. Close to them came a portion of the picturesque Northwest mounted polico escorting the first Colonial Premier Wilfred Laurier, of Canada, who was received with a great round of cheers. The Northwest police made a striking appearance, quite as brave aud service able looking as the New South Wales Mounted Eifles who followed escorting the premier of New South Wales, S. H. Eeid. Mounted troops followed with Premier Seddon, of New Zealand, and the Cape Premier, Sprigg; then came the South Australian mounted troops, who won great applase, and then the premier of New Foundland, White way, Then came the most attractive part of the display, the mounted troops of the Crown and Colonies,, the Ehodesian horse and Colonial infantry broken by three bands typical of the United King dom, those of St. George's the London Scottish and 'Irish Eifles Volunteer Corps. The Colonial contingent were a varied lot from varied places Then came the Canadian infantry. 170 stronir. rccerria'r juuch applause for their fine marching-. w Following came the real oddities in the eves of Londoners, in wlrch the Zeptiehs from Cyprus divided honor with the Dyaks of Borneo. The second procession passed fiftj minutes later, after the Colonials had climbed Constitution Hill. This was formed in Eotan square and Sloane street, and more than eloquently filled up the pictures of Britain's war strength and more than magnificently completed the carnival of gorgeous costume and color. Then came the Lord Lieutenant of London followed by a glittering caval cade of officers and headquarters staff. Then came the officers and auxiliary forces in attendance on the Prince of Wales Equerries, gentlemen-in-waiting and military attaches, a brilliant lot with a glittering array of titles, uni formed in the dresses of all the courts of Europe and half its crack reeriments. Then came the Kaiser s soldiers: In dia s fierce hordes, who made a fine appearance. The special envoys not numbered among the princes followed. The crowd began to show eager in terest in the approaching vehicles which brought nearer and nearer the Queen. Many carriages passed con taming many titled people, and many faces known were recognized and cheered. A cheer broke forth that seemed to shake the ground, renewed again and again as the Queen's carriage approach ed. The famous eight Honoverian creams passed. Georgious they looked in low state harness, saddle cloths of royal blue velvet which rich fringes. For once, since the death of the Prince Consort, the Qu-en permitted the mourning bands to be removed from the men's arms. The Oueen s carriage tnen came abreast. On the left rode the Duke of Cambridge, on the right the Prince of Wales. Then the profession closed with the guards in thousands, rank upon rank, hie upon file. AMERICANS FEEDING INDIA.

IHE CONFEDERATE PARADE At Nashville Was Witnessed 6y 100,000 People. 10,000 VETERANS TOOK PAfif Was the Largest In the History of the Veterans' Association Prominent Figures in the" Parade. The parade of the United Confeder ate Veterans at , Nashville, Tenn., on the 24th, the closing event of the re- tinionviil whieh raejf4 than 10, 000 veter ans took part, was the largest In the history of the organization and one of the greatest ever-seen in that city. The streets were densely crowded. TheStara and Stripes and Confederate flags were conspicuous in the long line that reach ed front the public square to the Ten nessee Centennial Export011 gates. One hundred thousand people had col lected to see the parade. Nothing in the history of Nashville has equalled the outpouring; never wfi9 thresucha procession. On the faces of the ldohr& on and of some of the ben; figures step ping briskly and proudly, could be Been the suggestion that never again would there be such another parade. The lines Started promptly. Police on horseback cleared the trj, and from start to finish the best of- ordef pre vailed. All vehicles were kept off the stroets included in the line of march, and the street cars stopped running. The parade was cheerfully accorded the full right of way. From the starting point, the custom hottse, through tha center of the city, around the pubho square, out Broad street and Vander bilt University, where the parade broke tanks a dense mass of cheering people greeted the old soldiers, their generals and the beautiful women who took part. The citizens of Nashville were both welcoming and speeding their departing guests, and they did it with whole souled cordiality, inspiring to witness. Gen. W. II. Jackson, of Nashville, chief marshall, headed the procession, his staff consisting of distinguished men. Commander-in-Chief John B. Gordon and staff, came next with troop "A," of Tennessee, Capt. Hagar com manding, and thirteen young ladies on horseback as an escort and guard of honor. Gen. Vaughau, the new major general of the Tennessee division, Followed. Then came the State di- visions, each division preceaea dj sponsors, maids of honor and in vited guests, beautifully attired in summer costumes. South Carolina, issiifi4. Florida. Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Virginia, Arkansas, Mis souri, Kentucky, . Maryland, Indian Territory. New York: Illinois, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahama, West Vir ginia and the District of Columbia, all had veterans in line. The Sons of Con federate Veterans also marched, and were commanded by Eobert J. Smyth, of Charleston, the newly elected com mander. The daughters of the Confed eracy were present in large numbers, and rode in carriages. General W. B. Bate, General Joseph Wheeler," and General. H. B. Bhckner, were in a car riage at the head of the Tennessee di vision. General A. P. Stewart, Gen eral M. C. Butler, Miss Buckner and Mrs. W. B. Bate preceded them in a carriage. Judge Eeagan and General John S. Ford rode with the Texas di vision, Mrs. A. P. Stewart, Eobert E. Lee and J. H. Hook aroused continued cheers. General Stephen D. Lee was easily recognized. With their respective divisions, the commanding officers from each State rode by, and as they were recognized shouts went up, while, as little bands marched along, bearing tattered flags, inscribed with the names of bloody bat tlefields, a mighty roar ascended. From the time these traps bearing the motto started, the musio of Dixie, all down the time these troops bearing mottoes stand where General Gordon, for one hour and a half,-saluted the passing posts, the air was rent with cheers, with drum beats, bugle blasts and musio by bands. And though at noon rain fell in torrents, veterans, sponsors, maids of honor, generals and privates stood to their posts and when the storm had passed, resumed the line of march. As was to be expected, the Tennessee division was the largest, but the ad joining States furnished thousands, and from the distant ones the attend ance was . heavy. After passing the reviewing-- stands, the parade was dismissed and the -bright sunshine soon removed the traces of the rain storm. Though the storm had bedraggled the flags and banners, the enthusiasm was not dampened, and in a short time the streets were again thronged, and thousands of the major portion were traveling to the auditorium to listen to the speeches and witness the closing exercises of the afternoon and evening. The afternoon was also a general holi day, and the line of march was hand somely decorated. The veterans were not all in uniform, though a large number in each division wore the uniforms of the days of bat tle. Each State was represented in the ex ercises at the auditorium by delegates, their friends and a speaker selected for the occasion. The speeches were short, but excellently suited to the occasion, and were received with rounds of ap plause. Capt. J. B. O'Brien presided. Among the speakers were men from ev ery State and so great was the crowd that it was after 6 o'clock when the last speaker finished. At night the same vast throng wit nessed the fireworks prepared for the occasion, and listened to the rendering of another "Southern Programme," by the Inne3 band. While old Confederate flags, regi mental flags, tattered and torn, appear ed in the decoration and in the parade equally prominent at every turn was the Stars and Stripes, and in the parade the national standard was seen in every division. It is the unanimous verdict of the veterans and their visiting friends that the re-union was the most succeps ful yet held. ""Sow, they speat or her ns an up-to-date girl.

ELIZABETH COLLEGE FOR Rt "j :'.: vjia itii ri m t s i i. m&rmiim n i The above cut shows .the main building of a new institution th.t has nttracfX jiuch attention lately. This College is destined to be the pride of the South. Ihe old custom of pending our Southern girls to extreme Northern tchools during the coldest season of the year has worked physical disaster in many cases in the past. It has been lamented that the South has had so few colleges of high grade that compare with the best Northern schools. But the South is fast changing in this respect. Elizabeth College takes her place in the line of this educational progress. In the formation of the large faculty only teachers who . have post graduate culture from institutions of the highest standing in Europe audi America have been selected. The new college building is of brick, trimmed, with Indiaua hmestoue, fire-proof, '172 feet frontage, 143 feet depth, l-Rtone high, and has all the good points of modern classic architecture. At this school, which is strictly Christian and firfit-class in-all respects, parents can feel that, their daughters will enjoy all the comforts of a refined home and Miponor edu cational advantages. The College Campus consists of twenty acre of p.rk-like rounds, with 100 developed, native trees, on a beautiful eminence overlooking the city of Charlotte, a splendid town cf 25,000 .Herniation, populnrly known r the "Queen City," and noted for its healthfnlness, refinement and progressiyo ness See College announceniout on another page. It will pay parents who have daughters to educate to consider the merits and advantages of this hchool of high education.
