The Government's Exhibit at Cot ton States Exposition. ATLANTA MAN GETS THE APPOINTMENT The Order of Elks incorporated Washing, ton Has a Sensation Alabama aid Mississippi Land Commissioners. Georgia Uets a Plum. Washington, July 15. Register J. i ! Fount Tillman, of the United States I treasury, will send from his bureau to : the Atlanta Exposition one of the most I I interesting and attractive exhibits to be j J furnished for that occasion by the Uni- j ted States government. The exhioit I contains specimens of treasury issues of ; every form, mude on account of the various loans, since the foundation of the government, grouped and arranged in chronological order. Added to this is a full and well-preserved collection of colonial money, which is valuable as well as interesting. The government was compelled to purchase this collec tion by piecemeal from various persons who were holding the money as sou venirs, and a good "price was paid for the necessary pieces to complete the collection. One of the features of the exhibit is the continental money. All the issues of the thirteen original states are represented, embracing- all dates, denominations and conditions of pay ment. The exhibit includes continen tal money, colonial money, specimens of the issues of the late confederate states, both currency and bonds, United States bonds, United States currency, national bank notes, bills of broken wild cat bianks in active operation be fore the civil war, and the check which England made out in favor of this i country for depredations committed by the steamer Alabama on the commerce of the States. , . The '"loan office certificates" are prob ably as interesting as any other feature of this collection. Many have the in terest figured out on the edqeofthe note, showing that the holder had puzzled their heads to find out what Uncle Sam owed them. On one of the collonial notes, issued in 1774, are in scribed the words: "To counterfeit is death." Some severe penalty was nec essary, for any ordinary, school boy with a quill pen could have reproduced the note exactly, so crude and rough was its execution. The collection is mounted on two separate columns, each seven feet high. Thirty-two frames are swung on hinges to these columns, and in these frames the notes are mounted. They are well arranged and are lettered and grouped in an artistic manner. J. M. Brown, of Atlanta, Ga., has been appointed- superinteneent of the government building of the Atlanta exposition. The government board of management has decided to appoint only ALlrnta citizens as watchmen and janitors in try. -'"-wnment building, and. that all of them m .uniform ed and receive the prevailing AtiaYl wages.

What the Commercial Agencies of Dob and Brads tr.ts Say of Trade. New Yobk, July 15. R. G. Dun A Co. in their weekly review of trade will say today : A business flood so strong and rapid that the conservatives fear It may do harm, is out of season in July. But the seasons this year lap over ami crowa eaon other. May frosts and I frights, It Is bow evident, kept back much bus- i iness that would naturally have been finished before midsummer, and the delayed culmlna- ' nation of one season gets in the way of efforts to begin another on time. But the volume of business, however It may be measured, is re markably large for the month. Cotton has not ohanged, though speculation till turns wholly on prospects, regardless of enormous stocks carried over. In Europe the manufacturer lags but here 1 satlsf aotory. The weekly output of pig iron was 171,194 tone, having risen 18,790 tone in June and other furnaoea have gone into operation since July 4th. The rapid rise in prices has brought into operation many additional works, and there is still a rush to buy before prices advance fur ther. Influential manufacturers are sending out warnings that the rise may easily do mis chief, and prioea have in faot advanced nearly Bix per cent in two weeks but are still 15 per eent lower than in October. 1892. The demand for structural forms ia enormous. Bessemer pig has advanoed to 14.40 at Pittsburg, and wire hails to $1.56, both higher than in October, 1892: grey forge to Ill.tS, structural beams to 1.6 and angles to 1.35. Wool is still advancing with enormous sales. As the sales are about four times the weekly consumptions, it Is obvious that the market is essentially speculative. Cotton goods continue active and strong, with comparitively little difficulty as to labor. The northern mills have taken little over 100, 000 bales in the past there months, since cot ton was below 7 cents, but with cotton bought cheap for Ave months ahead, they are able to do good business. It is not the season for ac tivity in boots and shoes, and orders have fallen off. Prices of shoes, leather and hides are as stiff as ever. Foreign trade Is not quite encouraging, ex ports for July showing a large decrease. The failure for the first four days of July show liabilities of 81,258,500, of which $388,434 were of manufacturing and 1702,096 of trading concerns. Failures this week have been 253 in the United States against 247 last year and 33 in Canada against 49 last year. To which Bradstreets adds: Among eastern cities there Is a change for the better at Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Balti more and Providence. Manufacturers of woolens and jewelry repott a better demand while all forms of Iron and steel are in active request, these features resulting in stimula tion of business in other lines. With a few ex ceptions general trade is quiet, and summer dullness prevails throughout the south. The exception is with request to iron mills which are running full time. This is conspicuous at Chattanooga, and is beginning to be so at Bir mingham. At Atlanta, sales of hardware are larger, but those of dry goods, shoes and gro ceries are smaller. Now Orleans reports only a fair volume of business, less than was ex pected. Bank clearings throughout the country this week present the largest total since the period of panic in 1893, l,l-tfiUm5,fX, 30 per cent larger than in the secor.-u week of July, 1894.and 14 per cent larger than1 Jo .the second week of July. 1893. : X . June railway earnings show continued . im provement In the largest gain for any month in two years. The notable falliig off in June is that in earnings of the Southern roads, caused by the coal miners' strike on the Norfolk and Western Railroad. There were 258 failures in business in the United States this week, as compared with 197 last week, 829 in th-) second week of July, 1894. and S98 in the like week in 1893. NICARAUQA IN Mi NATURE. The Great Canal Will Thus be Exhibited at Atlanta.'' Atlakta, July 15. S transportation building of States and International Exposition was awarded BtSSfSkf -for'1 the model of thiclirilgua canal, which was tx- .-T-moited jn Paris. The national charac ter of this undertaking and its especial importance to the development and ex tension of the industries of the south, should make it an exhibit of unusual interest to this section of country. The model is fourteen by forty feet in size and is a representation in relief of the entire canal from San Juan del Norte, on the Caribbean Sea, to Brito, on the Pacific, showing the topography water courses and lakes. The model will be an operative one, arranged to show the flow of water from Lake Nica ragua, the great central reservoir to either outlet of the canal. WAGES ADVANCED. Two-Thirds of Last Year's Reduction Restored. Birmingham, Ala., July 15. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Com pany has made another ad ranee In the wages of their workers in the mines in this district.

The advance is two-thirds of the reduction of last year all round. The Orangemen's Parades Washington, July 13.
