By Our Regular Corrspon i l?n t. The official report of the government en gineer commission which, in accordance with an act of Congress, recently went over the route of the Nicaragua Canal for the purpose of making a minute investigation of - what has been done and what the present plans will require to be done, will not be made public until congress meets, but tho main points of tho rep rt have become known in a sort of Beml-offlcial way. The commission reports the general plan upon which the Canal company has been working as feasible, but suggests, if the work is to be completed, a number of minor changes. And, as was generally expected, the commis sion reports that the estimates of the'eost of the work which have been submitted to Con gress were ridiculously low. According to the estimates of the commission it will re ? quire not less than ? 115,000,000 to complete the canal. .70,000 000 was the estimate of the Canal Company. England wants to be let into the control of the Canal, if this gov ernment i ; to build it. and when the matter conu.'s n j, in Congress prjme lively speeches may be looked for on that subject. The anti-silver democrats of Kentucky want Secretary Carlisle to come out and make some more speeches in the campaign, but the Secretary doesn't take kindly to tho idea. Having succeeded in his fight to con trol the platform adopted by the State con vention he is loth t enter upon a new con test which he might lose. A close personal friend of S rotary Carlisle say3 nothing short of a personal request from President Clev-land will cause Secretary Carlisle to get himself mixed up in that muddled Ken tucky campaign. The politicians regard Senator Quay's per sonal triumph in Pennsylvania as having a very important bcaVing upon the republican side or the Presidential campaign. It will give Mr. Quay control of the Pennsylvania delegations to the nominating convention, whi.-h probably means that the solid vote of the State will be cast for Reed. With the immense vote of Pennsylvania lo start with and the shrew manipulations of Senator. Quay tlsc.-.-.e politicians think that Mr. Reed will go into the convention with excellent prospects of capturing the nomination. These predictions are based upon Senator Quay's declaration for Mr. Reed some time ago. Politicians have been known tp change their minds, and even if Quay was really for Reed 'when be said he may not I? for him now, or if he wa for him now he might not be for him when the convention meets. Nothing is more uncertain than politics. - TIIK VOLUME OF BUSfNESS Surprises Even the Optimists. The 1 1 iiT Corn Crop. Bradstreet's report for tho past week says. The concluding week of August surprises even the more optimistie, with a striking in crease in the volume of business with jobber? in staple lines at such centers as New York, Baltimore. Boston, Chicago, St. Louis, Kan sas City:"-St. Paul, Minneapolis and to a more moderate extent, at distributing points in South Atlantic and Gulf States, among them Charleston. Chattanooga, Atlanta, Savannah, Jacksonville, Birmingham and Dallas Id dry goods, millinery, shoes, hats, clothing and groceries, the autumn demand is making itself felt, with the prospect for a further improvement in immediate succeeding wks. The total volume of general trade for the summer has been larger tha i in is'.M, and in many instances than in 18.)3, with, the out look to -day for even a better demand than many had anticipated. The upward and on ward impulse of this week is noticeable. AH winter lines of goods have felt an improved request, and manufacturers and jobbers in dry goods, hardware aud Groceries announce the receipt of many orders for September delivery. Even in Texas, where at the south the State has suffered from drought, and at thenorthfrom continuous rains, aud where the cotton crop is to be short in consequence, country merchants report a better feeling in all lines and a fair demand from wholesalers. Cotton is rising as if there were no sur plus of 3,000,000 bales American carried over tothenew crop which begins next week. Whet tier exaggerated or not, reports of inju ry have impressed traders, and purchasos in three days have uunAinted to M.i.xOO bales. The price has advanced to K.I') eeuts, and as there is no large supply of a'dnal cotton available at this time, the inai ket pri. e can be easily moved.. But if the yield is as short as buyers believe, it is not a good sign for business at the South, since the abundance of old cotton in 'foreign marhets must hinder exports at hightr prices during the very months in which planters are forced to sell most of their product. Already dispatches indicate that the retail trade at many Southern points issla- k. The volume of domestic trade is but slightly bet terthanin the previous week, exceeding last year's by per cent, against 11.3 for earlier weeks oflh month, and falling M per cent, below 1!2. against 0.1 in earlier weeks. Railroad earnings in August have leen hardly 3 per cent, larger than last year, but lfi. 3 per cent, smaller than in 1H'.2. the loss of Grangers and Southwestern roads beiug large.

JJeports of the Ureak In the Texas Drought Started the Decline. The New York cotton market had on Fri day a sharp fluctuation in a wild, feverish ' wav. The drought was broken in Texas and In some sections there heavy-rains are re ported. This was at the bottom of the pres sure to sU. It affected, first, the New Or- j leans market to a sharp decline. Then New t vri- rnnn.l a lri7 numlptT of selline orders and began to move downward. The fluctua tions were about 20 doints. An enormou3 business was done with selling and buying I wAwa Anmlni" in T t CT1 1 Vfl V. The S&leS Uiucia v. ... - - - . reached over 345.000 bales. Prices were much unsettled, with about 10 to 12 points decline. Atlanta's First New Hale. The first new bale of cotton was received in Atlanta Friday afternoon and was placed in the warehouse of the Maddox-Rueker Bansing Companv. The bale was shipped by Messrs. Gray A Hunt, of Fort Valley. The first bale received last year was shipped to the warehouse of the Maddox-Rucker Banking Company from Culloden, on.Au gturt 30th. last two days later. NORTH STATE , CULLINGS. COLORED STATE CONVENTION. One CaUed to Meet September 11th. The Call Presents a BUI of Charges. A call for a negro Stata convention has been issued, the date being Sep tember 11th, It Bays that the negroes hare certain things they desire to say to the peopla of the State generally along the lines of industrial, educa tional and political welfare, and be lieve the present to be the most oppor tune time to give expression to their desires, it being between elections and a time free from political excitement. It is asserted that it will be the most important gathering of negroes that has taken place since their freedom. They desire to say to the politicians of the State what they should do for the negroes, who compose three-fourths of the voting population of the Repub lican party. Tho call says: "We desire to two that vote intelli gently, bo that the results of our voting may redound in benefit to the whole race, rather than to a few men who at tempt to lead our race to get places fax themselves. We -want a larger appro priation for colored schools. We want a colored man appointed or nominated to some office of dignity or honor in the State. We want an equal distribution of the smaller ofliceB among colored and white " alike. We realize that if we leave this matter to the average politician we can never get tho recognition demanded. Now is the time to speak in fio uncertain way, so that those who expect our votes will give us consideration. We have been voting thirty years, and although the men we vote for get elected, we are not benefited. The only way of remedying this evil, is in union and the expression of "the best sentiment of our people in the State." THE STATE'S FIRST NEW IJATjE. It Was Sold at Morven, Anson County, nnd Iirought 8 Cents. A new. bale of cotton, the first in the State, was sold at Morven on Thurs day. It weighed 558 pounds and brought 8 cents. It was raised by Steve West on J. Ir. Pratt's place. J. M. Ilardison was the buyer. September Cotton Short. The September cotton report will not be so good as that of August, so . it was officially learned at the Agricul tural Department. The persistant low ering of the average of condition forces the conviction that the crop will be short for the amount of land in culti vation and also short in the number of acres needed. It is said that cool nights have done a great deal to cause the falling off. The Lexington Cotton Mill is work ing over time to keep up with orders. All the machinery for the large new Sterling Cotton Mill at Franklinton has been ordered. A new cotton mill is to be built at Newton, Maj. Finger being one of the principal stockhold ers. New mills are to lie built within a few months at Salisbury andHillsboro. Three new mills are now in process of construction at Burlington. Mr. Ed Chambers Smith states that he has received some thirty letters from prominent men regarding the call for a silver convention, sent out by him four days ago. The letters state that at least 80 per cent, of the people in their sections favor free coinage of silver. Rich paying dirt has been discovered in the Reed mine, Cabarras county, panning out SI 35 a ton. This is tho famous mine out of which the largest nugget of gold ever found was taken just after the war. The Governor offers a reward of $100 for the arrest of Arthur Tuttle, who brutally murdered Henry Carr, col ored, while the latter, a manacled prisoner, was in his custody in Mont gomery county. , The police census of Charlotte has just been finished him! the city is 6hown to have 19.853 people.

By tho premature explosion of a dynamite bomb on the Yorkville road, near Concord, one of the laborers had his eye blown out and a six foot drill driven entirely through his arm. The lease of the North Carolina Railroad to the Southern was recorded at Raleigh on Thursday in the office of the register of deeds. The Ijumberton Robesonian received an open cotton boll as early as Wed nesday of last week.

WEATUER CROP BULLETIN. iMued By the North .Carolina Stat Weather Service. The reports of correspondents of the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service, for the past week, are very favorable. The 'week was slightly above normal in temperature, except Wednesday and Thursday, which were eool with abuudant rains.

Rain-fall a little injurious to cotton and tobacco,but corn, clover, pea-vines and other crops were much benefited. Farmers are doing much plowing for wheat and still planting turnips; early plauted are growing nicely. Cotton is reported at a num ber of places to have improved con siderably, though still about two weeks late; it needs dry weather to mature and open bolls. Tobacco is ripening slowly, with prospects for a good crop; curing will be under way next week. Foddei-'pulling is not yet general. The only thing, feared for corn is freshets on the streams.
