BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
While the commercial reports for
the present week are generally un
favorable, it will be observed that
very few of the failures reported oc
curred in the south.
There is no doubt that the condi
tion of the south is better than that
of any other section of the country.
The farmers are less in debt than
':: they have been since the war; are in
better condition and are better
i stocked. As a rule they have come
' to raise their own supplies and are
growing more independent year by
year. The Manufacturers' Record
of this week takes the following
hopeful view of the business out
look in this section:
"According to I the report from
mercantile firms who transact a large
business in the south, the outlook in
that section for increased trade this
: fall is very bright. A number of the
' principal jobbingfirms in Baltimore,
including Armstrong, Cator & Co.,
v the largest milinery dealers in this
country; John E. Hurst & Co., one
" of the largest drygoods houses of
Baltimore, as well as a number of
representative firms in boots and
shoes, clothing, hardware, hats and
rubber goods, are unanimous in say-
' ing that their advices indicate an
increased trade this fall over 1895.
' They expect a better business, and
believe that the planters will re
ceive higher prices than last year
lor tneir cotton, placing tnem in a
.better position financially. It is a
question if as many favorable re
( ports could be obtained in any other
city in this country, unless that city
depends upon southern trade. It is
tha general impression that owing
nmm ;
Vv to the political agitation and other
" causes, trade prospects in New Eng'
- land and the west are very poor.
4 This is simply another indication of
- the stability of business in the
' south, which has been noted in the
Manufacturers' Record in reports of
.' Inoreased railroad earnings, bank
--clearings and other features. "
, It may be added to the above that
, i Baltimore is the principal jobbing
; point for the entire South and the
favorable reports received there are
igniflcant. . ... . .
is estimated that . the . army
worm haft injured New York State
farmers this year to thl extent of
$336,000. In Massachusetts the
damage amounts to $200,000.
Harry Bill, whose resort at Hous
ton and Crosby streets was for years
one of the sights of New York, and
who died at Corona, W I., Thursday
night was 76 years old and although
he was once worth half a million
dollars, ne died an object of poverty.
- The Savannah' (Ga.,) News says
the lumber men in that section "are
as blue as indigo."' Business has
been going from bad to worse for
tLe last three or four months and
there is no prospect of any improve
r ent. The lumber men have had a
1 ,.rd time for the last two or three
i :rs, beginning with and fallowing
1 1' o i anic of lc'. ,. TLere was
PI - V. ' : t Ar-i L'l ar.J I r sev-
ft
earl months business" held up fairly
well, but the demand has been de
creasing steadily for, some, time. TheJ
advices from the North are that the
manufacturers are closing down and
that there Is no prospect of improve
ment until after the" election anyway:
The financial agitationis assigned as
the chief cause for ths lack of busi
ness. y. In the market stalls of England
the carcasses of sheep and lambs are
exposed with the skin left on the
legs, which is done to convince the
customers that such meat is from
mutton breeds, especially the South
down, which have black legs. Such J
breeds as merinos and, Cotsweids
are not so readily salable as the
Downs breeds. In this country our
markets should have the same rule,
which would lead to better breeds
for mutton and draw a line between
the mutton and woolbreedsof sheep.
Chief of Police Conlin has evolved
a new idea which will be a terror to
wrong-doing policemen. It has been
the custom to have men in citizens'
dress do special duty, with roving
commissions about the city to dis
cover infractions of the rules by
patrolmen or roundsmen. These
men are designated as "shoo-flies."
The chief has decided to have men
detailed at the central office who are
bicycle riders. Two such men were
selected recently by the chief and
began work thenextmorning. These
men can cover a large amount of ter
ritory in a day on their wheels.
