Dun & Co.'s weekly review ot trade says : The most prosperous year ever known in business closed Friday, with strongly favorable indications for the future. From nearly all points comes the report that the holiday trade has been the largest ever known, while the wholesale trade is not usually active at this season of stock-taking, it is now re markably larjje. Settlements through clearing, houses outside of New York, in Dec mber were apparently the largest ever made in any month, exceed ing last year's by more than 10 per cent. For the year the volume is also about 10 per cent larger than last year, and the largest ever known. Railroad -earnings jn December show an increase of about jj.5 per cent. Foreign trade has been smaller than last year in volume of ex ports; at New York $7,800,000 in value, lor the past four weeks, and at cotton ports about $10,000,000 less, but imports at New York have been $3,000,000 larger and the month still shows a great excess of exports. For the. year the ex ccs of merchandise exports has been not far from $70,000,000, with the largest imports and the largest total exports and imports ever known in any year. FAILTJRE8 TITHING THE YEAR. ' The number of failures occuring in the United States in the year 1892, as reported by R. G. Dun & Co.'s mercan tile agency, is 10,344, being less than in any year siuce 1886, and showing a dif ference in favor of the present year, as compared with 1891 of 2,029. The in debtedness of the failures of the past year was $114,000,000, against $189, 000,000 in 1891; and nearly a similar amount in 1890. The largely aug mented number of traders and enor mous increase in transactions in the year render these figures very significant. Only one in every one hundred and thir teen traders in the United States suc cumbed in 1892 as against one in every ninety-three in 1891, and one in every one hundred and two in 1890. The av erage liability of failures in the last year was $11,000, being the lowest average reported since 1878. WHAT BRADSTREET SATS.

Birmingham, Galveston, Memphis and Richmond. Atlanta dealers sny the retailers have smll stocks. Some ex citement exists among Charleston deal-; era, owing to the new liquor law.

The city council, at a meeting Saturday nicht. ratified the license ordinance, and the county commissioners gave notice that they will receive the money and issue liquor licenses.

C, special says: Much speculation is current as to the purpose of Governor Tillman in making a trip to Laurens to hold a conference with Sena tor Irby. It is believed that a consulta tion that will have an important bearing upon both questions of state interest and Federal patronage in South Carolina is in progress.

In the late cam paign he became a candidate for state senator to which office he was elected by an overwhelming majority and rendered valuable service as chairman of the sen ate judiciary committee. The Da!la?, Texas, News, in its if sue of Sunday, says: Iuformation has leaked out here that the organization known as the Industrial League is being extended throughout the south and west for the purpose of resisting, if necessary, by force of arms undue restrictions on elec tions. It had its origin in the belief of the people's party leaders that they were counted out in Georgia and Alabama.

William Crane Gray ws conse crated bishop of southern Florida in Nashville with the most elaborate cere monies ever witnessed in any church in that city. An audience "gathered that could not have been excelled it standing; and such was the demand for ftdmisr'o-i that the doors were closed and lock d when the services began. ; There wtre live bibops of Cte Episco pal church in Amenc preseatVwi MiV lag in tne consecration ; Bishop Quintard, of Tennessee, acting as presidiug bishop, under authority of the bishop of Connect icut, the presiding bishop of the church. The other bishops present were: Bishops O. K. Nelson, of GeorgUr Thorna U. Dudley, of Kentucky; Edwin G. Weed, of Florida; Chark Hale ft Ciro. The venerable Bishop Wilmer, of AI bama, was expected and his preseuce much desired, but his advanced years and the cold weather prevented his at tendance. In every way the services were com plete, being more elaborate than ever be fore seen by many of the clergy of the church, embracing 'he service for morn ing prayer, the communion service, the litany and the full order for the conse cration of a bishop.

The fourteenth died Friday in intense agony. The coroner's jury lound that he died from "some epidemic disease unknown to the jury." Coroner Bond filed n re port with the board of penitentiary com missioners in which he stated that too sanitary condition of the place was horri ble in the extreme and calculated to breed an epidemic in its worst fofm. Filth in enormous quantities was piled up in different parts of the inclosure. Commissioners consisting of the secreta ry of state, attornev general and Private, Secretay Tiles, repr&en ing Governor T2ale, immediate ly made an ex tmination. That a contagious disease in its worst form has taken hold of the inmates now adm'ti of no doubt. The poison theory is fast fading awav. The man who died Satur day was not in the Ile'ena crowd and had hot been outside or the walls for many days. He was in perfect health the day before and wns well until within an hour of his death. Arkansas medical institute students are scared and refuse to handle the dead bodies sent to the in stitute from the penitentiary. The phy sicians of Little R ck laugh at the poison theory. The people are becoming shaky and cholera is talked of. COLORED PRESS ASSOCIATION. Organized by the Xegro . Editors of Georgia. The Negro editors of Georgia organ ized in Augusta, Monday, a State Press Association. Twelve papers were repre sented at. the meeting. The editors is sued an address discouraging immigra tion and urging the riegroes to work in dustriously with renewed vigor for the advancement of the race and advancing the cultivation of friendly feeling with their .friendly neighbors. It points with pride to the pubiic school system of Geor gia and extends to- Governor Northen and State School Commissioner Bradwell sincere thanks for their liberal views to the extension of education among the negroes. Political bossism is opposed, whether by white or negroes, aud that party alone, the address contends, will be supported that advocates recognition of the negro in public office. Temper ance, sobriety and frugality arc especially recommended. Lynching and Jim crow cars, separate for races are denounced not only as unjust and illegal, but barbarous, and Governor Northen is congratulated for his bold and fearless declaration against lynching in the state. The abolition of the state convict leane system is demanded, and finally the address suggests that the word "negro" be given preference over "c&J ored" and that it bt spelled with a capi tal "N." THE CHOLERA SCARE Creating Great Excitement in Russian Poland. A special cablegram of Friday from Vienna, Austria, saya : Cholera is increas ing in the province'of Dublin, in Rus sian Poland, adjoining the Austrian bor ders. The consternation caused by the ravages of the cholera last autumn in that region had become allayed, bat is again being aroused and many of the t people are fleeing. The fugitives are stopped by guards at the Austrian frontier, but there is no doubt that many of them escape into Galacia and Austria proper. The author ities on both sides of the border are do ing all they can to prevent a panic with scenes of inhumanity, which accompa nied a panic in the autumn. The report that emmigration tb America is virtually stopped has caused much disappointment, as owing to the dread of cholera and foi other ressons. Multitudes were prepar ing to emmigrate during the coming spring:. Blizzard in the West. A special of Sunday from Kansas City. says: Kansas, Oklahoma and the west generally are experiencing a genuine blizzard, which threatens to block rail way travel and do great damage to stock on tha ranges.

Each steamer was com pletely covered with ice. SNOW SLIDES IN IOWA. A Ilailey, Iowa, special of Tuesday says: "A snow slide Saturday swept again the engine house of the narrow guage mine at Deer Creek and wrecked the concentrator mill, 500 yards below. Henry Bloss, who was in the engine house, was instantly killed. A teamster named McCommeli was caught and his team killed, but he was dug out alive. Snow in the mouutains is very heavy and slides are very frequent.' A BLIZZARD IN CHARLESTON. A blizzard struck Charleston S. C. J Tuesday morning, and for the first time within the past fifteen -years the house tops were covered with a thin coating of snow and sleet. The mercury averaged about three or four degrees below freez ing point during the day. A HEAVY BXOW FALL AT KALE1GH.

There was more ice than has been seen with one exception in many years. Snow fell in sufficient quantity to allow the pleasure of making snow balls for a few moments for the first time in twenty-five years. F0RGEY SENT ENCED He Gets a Term for Life in the Pen itentiary. The jury in the case of Burrel Forgey, under trial for murder of 0car Teck, during an attempted train robberry at Huntington, W. Va., on the morning of the 14th of December, returned a verdict of murder iu the first degree, affixing the penalty of life imprisonment. This is the same p nalty accorded to Tom Collins, his companion in the crime. There is a general dissatisfaction, es pecially among the railroad men, over the result of the crime. Public sentiment was largely in favor of hanging, and but for the belief that the trials would result in that, there would probably have been a lynching bee. Since the verdict there has been loudly expressed dissatisfaction, und the ffic ials quietly slipped both Forney and Col lins on a Baltimore and Ohio railroad i train and started with them at 4.08 "3'ciock p. m. for the penitentiary. Had this not been done there is no doubt but that there would have been serious t trouble. WYOMING'S GOVERNOR. The Question Settled as to Who is Re . ally the Chief Executive. A Cheyenne, Wyo., special of Saturday says: The hrsttime the authority of Ac ting Governor Barber has been question ed was by Warden Briegs, of the peni tentiary.

A writ of habeus corpus was presented to the supreme court and the writ was granted. Tne decision in the case by the highest tribunal in tbe state, settled the vexed question of who is gov ner of Wyoming. A Costly Cotton Bale. At the cotton exchange in New York, Friday, the 'highest price since the , war was reached for the bale of cotton eold for the benefit of the building fund of the Press Club. Vice President Sieden berg, on behalf of the members . of the exchange, bid it in at 77 1-2 cents per pound, and then re-donated it to the Press Club. , - . DIRECT TRADE. TThat a Washington Newspaper Says f the .Great Enterprise. The Washington, (D. C.,) News, in its issue of Tuesday, under tbe beading of "Progress in the South" prints the fol lowing editorial: "The New South' is !ik? ly in the near future to prove something more than a phrase or, at best, a mere description of the coal and iron development of the Ap palachian chain in Virginia. Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Within two months the announcement has been made that two new trans-Atlantic steamship lines are soon to be connected in south ern ports, one; to Norfolk or Newport News, and the other cither with Bruns wick or Savannah. Both will hav Liverpool as their European terminus. "With- these new lines there ia an en couraging outlook for trade and com merce in the south. The vast cotton, sugar and lumber interests brought, as they will be, into clout r and cheape communication to Europe will share i that development whioh so long has been denied for the want of suitable facilities. Improvement of business will lead to the introduction of more banking capital and the vast natural resources of the south will be brought into play. "It is hard to realize that with the ex ception of freight Hues from New Orleaas, the whole southern seaboard from Balti more to the mouth of the Mississippi has been for many years without a regular trans-Atlantic service, yet such is the case. The trap tteainers and those en gaged in cotton carrying have picked up considerable trade, but there has been no such service as that which northern porti have enjoyed. "These new means of transportation afford the south an opportunity to build J up an independent foreign trade and em ploy all her"reonrce8 to the best advan tage. With sufficient enterprise it will mark the baginniog of anew era of pros perity." NEW COLUMBIAN STAMPS Which Will be Almost Exclusively Used in 1893.

IMPORTANT DECISION Showing the Responsibility of Rail roads to Shippers. A Little Itock, Ark., dispatch says: An important test case, and one of great importance to railroads, was decided Saturday by tbe Arkansas supreme court. W. L. Cravens sued the Missouri Pacific railway system for damages caused by the burning of a nnmber of bales of cot ton while in transit. The railroad com pany set up a plea that it was not res ponsible because the bill of lading ex pressly stipulated to this effect. The court held that the bill of lading was void in tbe respect alluded to; that when a railroad company is not prepared to transport property, and will not trans port it without a contract exempting it from its common law liability, and when customers ere compelled to assent to such exemption in order to secure transporta tion, such Bssent ii not binding upon tbe customers and the company can base to defense upon it.
