CONFIDENCE LICKING IN REPORT
W heat Coming Forward More Freely
than Last Year from a Larger Crop—
Hut Exports are Not so Large by
Half—Failures Fall oil about Sixteen
per cent. Against Same Week Last
Year—A Marked improvement in
Iron.
New York, Sept. 13. —B. G. Dim &
Co., in their Weekly Review of Trade,
will say:
A slight set back, which may mean
much or nothing, according to the final
outcome of the crops, is not unexpected
at this season. If the government
crop reports were correct, the situa
tion would not be encouraging. But
not mucb confidence is placed in the
reduced estimate of corn, none at all in
the estimate of wheat, and even the
most enthusiastic bulls do not think
it worth while to quote the government
report as to cotton. The fact is that we
are beginning to market not far from
2,200,000,000 bushels of corn, though
only about 500.000,000 bushels will be
moved from the counties where it is
grown ;about 450,000,000 bushels of whe it
of which the farmers are holding back a
large proportion; and about 7,200,000
bales of cotton, if the late indications
are not erroneous as they easily may be,
to add to the stocks carried over.
The commercial stocks of cotton Sep
tember Ist, here and abroad, amounted
to 2,100,538 bales, and domestic mill
stocks were 360,618 bales, allowing not
a single bale for increase of stocks at
Southern mills.
Prices have settled back a little during
the past week notwithstanding the
gloomy department report.
The wheat crop is evidently larger
than the department has estimated,
though nobody knows how mucb larger,
and is coming forward with more en
couraging rapidity, no less than 5,773,-
173 bushels having been received at
Western ports against 5,446,001
bushels for the same week last
year, from a much larger crop. The
farmers have undoubtedly been keeping
back wheat under an agreement among
themselves, but it does not seem a profit
able operation for them. Exports from
ports for the week of September have
been 2,247,875 bushels, flour included,
against 5,310,926 bushels last year. The
price declined sharply about 2 cents per
bushel with little indication of recovery.
The price of corn has also yielded a
strong prospect of the largest crop ever
grown and at 38 cents at New York and
a large proportion of the crop will be of
little profit to farmers.
If We are to have a large crop of grain
and a small crop of cotton it is natural
to infer that manufacturers may find
large transactions at the West but not at
the South. There is in fact a very large
demand for goods at the West,and west
bound shipments are unually large, al
though the east bound shipments from
Chicago for four weeks of August amount
to only 210,308 tons, against 222,144 for
the same week in 1894
Cotton goods have been strong, with a
comparatively good market for raw cot
ton, but at the close a decline is iudi
cated, because the market for raw cotton
has shown much weakness.
Failures for the week were 187 in the
United States, against 219 last year, and
34 in Canada, against 44 last year.
Bradstreet’s Review.
New York, Sept. 13.—Bradstreets to
morrow will say:
The week is characterized in trade
circles by an unexpected, but no less
pronounced improvement South and
Southwest. This is reflected at markets
rrom which supplies are distributed to
these regions. Relatively unfavorable
features are found in a quieter tone in
dry goods and jobbing circles; a check
of seasonable trade throughout the
central West, due to the unusual heat,
low prices for men's wear woolens, and an
unsatisfactory outlook, due to depressed
quotations abroad; only moderate orde s
for domestic woolen manufacturers;
cancellation of a few Nebraska general
merchandise orders at Chicago, and the
somewhat critical position of the Ameri
can tin plate industry, owing to the
heavy advance in price of tin plate,
bars, without a corresponding increase
in the price of tin plate.
The most bullish report comes
from St. Lou's, where there are
many country buyers, ?nd all lines of j
staple merchandise are active, with the J
railroads making freer purchases, a d :
the manufacturing industries pressed to
keep up with the requirements Kansas
City, too. also a distributor into the West
and Southwest, reports unusually prompt
mercantile collections and relatively
enormous orders placed with the whole
salers for .shoes, dry goods and hard
ware.
At the South fall trade is opening up
more freely than anticipated, with
marked improvement in business and in
creased confidence as to the outlook at
Jacksonville, Atlanta and Augusta. The
improvement in iron has had an influ
ence at Birm Dgham and throughout the
tributary region, an evidence of which is
found iti the temporarily inability of
Birmingham wholesalers to meet the de
mand for hardware and groceries.
Aside from the firmness of cotton
goods prices, which is a feature in trade
circles North and East, the most con
spicuous movement is the continued ac
tivity in iron and steel.
At Glrcago relatively more orders are
received from the south and south-west
than ever before. Revised estimates
from Texas point to only half a cotton
crop, but trade is active, and the outlook
favo. able because of greater relative in
crease in the priee of cotton than the re
duction in out-turn. Louisiana sugar
crop is repotted from 15 per cent, to 20
per cent smaller than that of last year.
Hot weather proves depressing to
those whose blood is poor. Huch people
should enrich their blood with Hood’s

AA . T. Lockett, of North Carolina”
Teils a Joke.
Washington, D. O , Sept 13.
To-day's Post contains the following:
“Some years ago 1 was prosecuting at
torney down iu North Carolina.'’ said
Judge W. F. Lockett, of that Suite at
the Hotel Page. “A colored citizen of
bad antecendents had been indicted by
the grand jury and was on trial for the
larceny of some hogs. There wasn’t a
doubt of his guilt, for lie had been taken
red-handed iu possession of the stolen
swine.
“The prisoner had no money to pay
an attorney, so the court appointed a
young lawyer who, up to Unit time, had
never had a ease, to defend the accused.
The youngster wasn’t lacking in shrewd
ness, so he called for a jury of colored men
as he had the right to do under the law. I
then went forward, introduced conclu
sive testimony to establish the guilt of
the prisoner, and sat down w it hout mak
ing any speech, for it was too plain a
ease to call for an argument. But my
legalopponent get up and made a fiery
harangue. He wasu’t au impressive
'looking mau, nature having denied him
all physical graces, aud endowing him
moreover with a pair of circular shaped
legs that caused all the small boys in
the community to jeer aloud when he
appeared on the strte’s. But he had
talented lungs, and these he exercised
with a good effect for his client that
day.
“The jury of his peers wasn’t out over
ten minutes when they came back with
a verdict of ‘not guilty.’ Everybody
was astonished and the Judge’s face red
dened with indignation. Then he let
out and told the jurymen in plain Eng
lish what he thought of a set of men who
who would render such a travesty on
justice. In conclusion he said: ‘I guess
I will have this jury polled,’ and was
was about to give an order to that effect
when the foreman, a great strapping
fellow, a plantation hand, black as the
ace of spades, rose evidently in great
mental perturbation, and said:
“ ‘No, Jedge, yer honah, please don’t
poll us—poll dat little bow-legged lawyer
over dere; he was de one what told us
to find Bill Jones not guilty.’ ”

The activity of Senator Harris, of Ten
nessee, in the silver movement has called
forth renewed interest in that gentle
man, who is confessedly the ablest par
liamentarian in America.
“Speaking of Harris,” said an old
Washington man, formerly of Tennes
see, “it chanced that I was in Parson
Brownlow’s office —Brownlow was then
Governor of Tennessee—when Harris
came in to give himself up. This was
just after the war. Harris was Gover
nor of Tennessee when the war broke
out, and among other matters he was a
man of vigorous, active honesty. There
was a large fund of gold belonging to
the sehool fund, I believe, as I now re
call, amounting to some $90,000.
“The Confeds wanted it, but Harris
would not give it up. He guarded it
with the single hearted probity of a bull
dog.
“Time came when the Yankee crowd
ed nearer and more threateningly. Then
Harris gathered up the $90,000 and teat
a retreat. No one knew where it went
to, save that Harris had taken it. When
Brownlow was made Governor he offered
a reward of SIO,OOO for Harris. It read
something like this:
“ ‘lsham G. Hams; SIO,OOO reward
for his capture. Is 5 feet 10 inches tall,
has gray eyes; likes whiskey; chews to
bacco rapidly and is dictatorial in his
manner.’ ,
‘ No one, however, gained the reward.
As soon as the war was over and peace
restored this honest old Harris returned
every dollar of the gold, which from first
to last he had protected from all mis
chance. If it hadn’t been for Harris
every dollar would have been lost.
“As Harris walked into Brov n’ow’s
office the latter was lying on a sofa. He
was a palsied old man at the time, and
as he saw Harris a gleam of humor lit up
bis eyes.. He rose to greet him, his hands
shaking like twin aspen leaves.
“While the lamp holds out to burin
The vilest sinner may return,
Said Brownlow, as he seized Harris by
the hand. That was all there was to it.
The gold came back; Harris came back.
The first was disbursed; the second was
elected to the Senate, where he will pre
vail, the most interesting character who
holds a seat in that sage body.”
A JOKE ON “El*II.”

W. C. Coleman, of Concord, the
wealthiest colored man in the State, was
here last week in the interest of the col
ored exhibit at the Atlanta Expositior.
Coleman is so nearly white t hat no one
who does not know him would for an in
stant suspect that negro blood flows in
his veins, and for this reason Eph, the
National hotel reporter, cannot be blamed
for carrying him to the hotel and offer
ing him the best the house afforded. It
was at night and the proprietor, Mr.
Smith, was not present. Coleman hu
mored the joke until Eph had assigned
him a room, and then he informed the
surprised porter that it was not custo
mary for negroes to be entertained at
hoUltin this State, and therefore he
would have to ask to be directed to the
home of Elder Settle, of the colored
Methodist church. Kph’s qyes did not,
for several days, assume their normal

DEATH OF A STRANfiER.
In a Country School House in Bla<t('n
County.
Wilmington star
A gentleman arrived in the city yes
terday from visiting friends in Bladen
county, told a Bar reporter of the sad
death of k stranger in a strange place.
On last Saturday afternoon an unknown
man, well dressed, bearing every trace
of a gentleman aud Christian, was found
in a school house on l>r. David Gfiles
pic's place, near Westbrook’s, dangei
ously siik with intermittent fever and so
feel.fi ?he could not go father. As soon
as this news spread through thentigh
borlux d, a lied was carried to the school
house find kind women ministered to
him and give him the best nursing and
attention. He rallied enough to give
his name, which hesaii vas' Predeau.x;”
that he was making Ins way to Lumber
ton to see a friend, and became so sick
while on the road that ho crawled into
the school house for shelter. He said he
was a commercial traveller by profes
sion and was with a firm name Hunting
ton, dealers in felt and straw hats, up to
their failure, and had been out of work
since. His father lives in Syracuse, N.
Y., and he has a wife and two children
in Brockton, Mass. He became worse
and died last Tuesday at noon aud was
buried by the kind peop’e of the neigh
borhood Wednesday afternoon.
Minister Ransom En Route to Mexico.
Salisbury World.
Minister Ransom spent last night at
Mt. Vernon Hotel, lie is the same
courtly, kindly speaking Ransom as of
old. There is no trace of the weariness
or jaded appearance which he had when
here before. He is just as erect and firm
in his step and his eye is as keenly pene
trating as ever. He was dressed in a
close-fitting Prince Albert of gray mater
ial and had his straw hat pulled down
over his forehead.
A World representative had an inter
esting talk with the General this morn
ing.
“What do you think of the outlook for
Democracy, General ?’’ was asked.
“We will win,” he said with the serene
emphasis which usually characterizes his
assertions.
“In the State, do you mean ?”
“In the State and country,” he replied.
“What do you think of the fusion
movement between the Democrats and
Populists ?” was asked him.
“It will never do,” he said. “It is
impracticable and there is such a vast
difference between the parties that the
alliance would be unnatural. Besides
the people do not favor it and it would
be utterly distasteful t them.”
The General left on the vestibule this
morning for Mexico to resume bis duties.
He thinks that there will be no danger
of his not becoming acclimated to that
country
Before leaving he gave in his subscrip

Gentlemen:—Having seen Mexican Hustang Lini
ment extensively advertised here Induces me to tell you
how usetul it Is to persons In the livery business. I have
used It for the past 18 years ou my horses for almost every
thing that horses are Subject to. For sprains and stiff Joints
Ido not think it has an equal, and for such things as
harness galls and rubs It Is wonderful.
I once had a very fine driver who was thrown from his car
riago in a runaway and so severely bruised about his shoul
ders and breast that I did not think he would over be able
to got on a carriage again. I remembered, however, what
Mexican Mustang Liniment did for my horses In case of
bruises and had him use it constantly, and In about two
weeks he was as good a driver as ever, and not an ache or
pain remained.
1 know you must get tired of receiving such letters, but
I thought I would add one more testimonial to the useful
ness of Mustang Liniment Yours truly, &
