Dan & Cog Renort of Easiness for the Past TTeek. i It. G. Dun & Co.'s review of trade for the past week 6ays: Improvement has extended from the banks to the mills. .The condition of preat jaduatries has distinctly mended, though still seriously .depressed. Mure important by far than any rise in stock in the fact that oore works have resumed durine the past week I than have stopped operation, b5 that atter nxontha of cBafitaecline, Has begun to increase. Dispatches men tion twenty-eight textile and thirty metal works which have resumed, Borne only with part force, while twenty-five textile and nine iron works have stopped. It is expected that most of the Full river mills will start soon, the hands assenting to reduced wages. The money markets are more healthy ; the premium on currency has almost vanished ; the embarrassments in domestic exchanges have well nigh disappeared, and while very little money is yet available for commercial or industrial loans, , there is pome re lief in that respect also. September 1st the output of iron furnaces in blast was only 85,500 tons weekly, against 107,042 August 1st, and 181,551 May 1st ; so much less than half the pro ducing forces were engaged, and yet the manufactories were bo stagnant ihat unsold stocks of pier iron in- creased 22,000 tons a week in August. It is stated that further reductions in the output have been made since Sep tember began. Soft steel has reached . the lowest point on record $20 at Pittsburgh, and substantially all rail i mills in the country are idle, but there is a somewhat better demand for hardware, wire rods, barbed wire and contracts for architectural implements and supplies are reported at Chicago. ! . In cotton mills resumption of work is quite general ; the paper business is doing better, the Troy paper and the Illinois glass works are starting and also several shoe factories. ! While the money markets, have greatly improved, they are yet far from the normal condition, and the crops are in doubt. The monetary situation has . changed but little, for ! there .has been an abundance of money, and only confidence in employing it is lacking. ' - Failures for the week have been only 323 in number, against 385 last week and 430 for the week preceding, and 25 in Canada against 33 for the same week last year. While one large mort gage company i swells the aggregate of liabilities for the week, the average of the other failures was lower than usual, 2G2 being for less than $5,000 each, and only four over $100000 each. ' WRECKED BY A CYCLONE A Louisiana Town Demolished- Five Persons Lose Their Lives. A severe cyclone struck the pretty ; little town of Lockport, La., on Bayou Lafourche, at about 9 o'clock Thurs- ! day morning and left a mass of ruing j and desolution. Stroncr winds- had ; been raging the whole night long, ac companied by rain. No serious results were apprehended until the wind shift ed suddenly to the southwest and blew at a terrible rate, carrying everything in its path. A number of residences and stores were demolished and many other build iags were badly damaged. Besides the fivo people killed, a large number were more or less seriously wounded. On the Southern Pacific 'railroad be tween Bayou Sale and Franklin, 100 miles west of New Orleans, half a mile of telephone .poles were blown down, destroying telegraphic communication with Texas by that route. Between New Orleans and Mobile twelve'of the fifteen wires along tho Louisville and Na?hville road have gone down and along the Illinois Central railroad the wires are badly wrecked. High wind are reported from Baton Rouge and Amite City, La., and Mississippi City, on the gulf coast. THE COTTON CROP. Report of the Department of Agricul ture for September. The September cotten report of the department of agriculture shows a de cline from the August condition of the crop of full 7 points, the average be ing 74.3 this month, as against 80.4 last month. This is the lowest September condi tion sine 1S81, which stood at 70. The condition in September, 1892, was 76.8. For the Bam e month in the years 1891 and 1892 it was 82 and 85.8, respectively.

The hurricane of August 2Sth caus ed much damage to the crop in the states of North Carolina, South Caro lina . and Georgia, and in a less degree in the state of Florida. Congress of Religions. An event of world-wide interest and one never before accomplished, took place at Chicago Monday. It was the assembling of a parliament of relig ions, a gathering of representatives of all the great religious beliefs of the world. No such immense crowd has gathered before during all the memor able series of congresses since the be ginning of the World's Fair. LAKSfMEATCHES.

The fire was beyond control and swept by strong winds, promised to level the big shops. The London Times1 Alexandria cor respondent says the Egyptian cotton crop is steadily increasing. The crop reached 52,500,000 cantars (a cantaris a little over ninety-nine pounds) in the year ended September 1, as against 4,750,000 cantars in the year ended September 1, 1892.

In the course of interviews with bank officials and presidents of com mercial bodies, it is learned that the trade outlook at Raleigh, N. C; is fine, that crops are good, that there is plenty of money to move them and that they were made more cheaply than ever before. . It is also stated that the farm ers fn that section are nearer out of debt than they ever were before. A Columbia, S. C , dispatch of Mon day says : Governor Tillman has ac cepted the proffered services of the American National Red Cross for work in behalf of the South Carolina coast sufferers. He has communicated by wire and mail with Miss Clara Barton, expressing his thanks and inviting an early conference with her representa tive upon the proposed line of work. The New York World, in its Sun day issue, gives a whole page to the condition of trade in New York city, covering all lines, with interviews with the most prominent firms in their re spective branches. Bankers, dry goods, clothing, cotton, brokers, ho- 1 1 vai tei men ana general traae was given space, and hardly without exception the result is most encouraging. A New York dispatch of Monday says: The executive council of the American Bankers' association has de termined to hold the deferred nine teenth annual convention of the asso ciation at Chicago on Wednesday and Thursday, October 18th and 19th. The committee on arrangements, pa pers and addresses previously appoint ed by tne executive council will ar range the program. The yews and Courier published Monday its annual review of the trade of Charleston. In summarizing its review the paper says that under the circumstances Charleston could not have done better during the commer cial year ending August 31st. The figures show that there has been a falling off of $8,778,899 in the aggre gate trade and business of the port as compared with the- returns of the pre ceding year. While there are yet six days before the opening of the Cherokee 6trip, there is already a bread famine in Ar kansas. Sunday night leavened bread could not be purchased at any price. A hasty visit to the groceries was made and all the flour in the city was pur chased, and the supply exhausted. The bakers of Wichita and Wihfield have been called upon, and will hereafter aid in meeting the demand that will increase during coming days. A special of Monday from Oswego, Kan. , says the men who held up and Bobbed the Frisco eastbound train at Mound Valley Sunday morning, have been captured. Their names afo George and Charles MaCune, Charles Bahutand W. W. A. Curry. The capture was made at Arkansas City, Kan., where the outlaws had joined the multitude of boomers who swarm about the city waiting for the opening of the Cherokee strip. One of the bandits has made a confession of the robbery, and has admitted that he fired the shot which killed Messenger Chapman. LABOR DAY. Its Observance General Throughout ; the Conntry. . Perfect weather characterized Labor Day in New York AH the big manu factories 6hut down ; all wholesale es tablishments," business exchanges, dcrwntowtf offices and most of there tail shops closed.

C, special Thursday says : The awful stupendity of the dis aster of the storm-swept coast of South Carolina is at last realized. It proves to be the calamity of the century. A death roll of several hundred persons developes into almost that of thou sands, while absolute destitution ex tends to 20,000 persons, nineteen-twen-tieths of whom are ignorant negroes. These awful facts have been ascertained by Dr. J. W. Babcock, of Columbia, who spent four days as the special repre sentative of Governor Tillman at Beaufort and vicinity. In point of fact, the whole truth is not yet known, as, on account of the impossibility of at present making a circuit of tho score or more of islands that make up this archipelago, but enough has been developed to warrant the foregoing statement as to the death and devasta tion. All these islands were sub merged and the seething waters anni hilated almost : everything, -scarcely leaving a landmark. TWENTY. THOUSAND DESTITUTE. These 20,000 persons are now con fronted by the terrors starvation and pestilence. These facts have caused Governor Tillman to give all his per sonal attention to the situation and he is now working with might and main to procure relief. Thurs-; day night he issued a procla mation to the people of the United States appealing to them to make contributions to the cause. He states therein that these people will have to be fed by charily- for six months and that it will take $75,000 to furnish them with bread alone. He calls upon the whole people to aid him and pledges his official word that their charity shall not be misapplied. THE BRAZILIAN REVOLT. Secretary Gresham Takes Prompt Ac tion in the Matter. A Washington special says : Secre tary Gresham decided Friday morning not to wait longer for official notifica tion that a revolution had broken out in Brazil and he accordingly sent a cablegram to Minister Thompson, who is supposed to have reached Rio de Janeiro by this time, instructing him to concur in a general diplomatic re monstrance ' against the burdensome interference with the foreign commerce of Brazil through the suspension of telegraphic communication."; This dispatch was sent in accordance with a partial promise mode by Secre tarv Gresham Thursday to the New York coffee exchange which intimated that Brazil was discriminating against American trad-- ' Serenteen Drowned. Advices of Tuesday from Botterdam state that during a fire which occurred in Florestry, opposite the Botte qnay, at Botterdam, Sunday night, twenty five onlookers who were aboard a lighter rushed to one aide, causing it to capsize, and - perm teen were drowned. ! AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. j Affairs ol Goyerment and Routine ol tbe Honss and Senate Discnssei Xotes of Interest Concerning the Peo ple and Their General Welfare. The comptroller of currency at Washington wired Monday " evening to the First National bank at Gada- j den, Ala., to resume business. j The president Monday sent the f ol : lowing nominations to the senate ; j Charles H. J. Tagdoi, of Kanaa,ymin ister to Bolivia ; Charles B. Ay cock, j United States attorney for eastern district of North Carolina. The Senate Monday confirmed the following nominations: Alex Mc Donald, of Virginia, minister resident and consul general to Persia ; Charles H. J. Taylor, of Kansas, minister to Bolivia ; John Goode, of Virgina, to be a Chilean claims commissioner. When the senate adjourned Satur day afternoon it was a week nearer the repeal of the Sherman law. But nothing happened during the week to indicate when a vote will be taken. The chief talk outside of the speeches on the floor has been with reference to the compromise. Senator Peffer has presented a peti tion in the senate from citizens of Kansas in the form of a resolution pro viding for the issue of treasury notes to be loaned the different states ac cording to demand at interest, not ex ceeding one per cent to be distributed among the people of the states and to be legal tender for all public and pri vate debts. The president has practically com pleted his consideration of the Hawai ian question and action may be ex pected within a very short period, probably within three weeks. Ex Minister Blount made his official adieu Monday afternoon and left for his home 'in Georgia. His connection with the Hawaiian question, both officially and unofficially has ended. Innumerable dispatches received at Washington indicate that a general re sumption of business in the manufact uring plants in the north and west has begun or is in preparation. This, is particularly marked in the cotton fac tory section of New England and iron working plants in Pennsylvania and Ohio, also in the miscellaneous indns- i threl! hundred hospital tents have been sent from quartermaster's depart ment at St. Louis, to the people left homeless through the ravages of the great hurricane on the South Carolina coast. Secretary Lamont was anxious to send subsistence as well; but found there was neither money nor stores available for this purpose. A Washington dispatch of Monday says: No advices have yet been receiv ed from the cruisers Yorktown and Charleston now on the South Ameri can coast, one of which the navy de partment desired to station at Kio de Janeiro to protect American interests. Secretary Herbert has given up hope of hearing from the Yorktown, and she will doubtless proceed to the Pa cific station. The Charleston is ex pected to stop at Rio and orders have been sent for her to stop at that port. Certificates Not to Be Taxed. Commissioner Miller sent out a cir cular recently to the internal revenue collectors which is causing a good deal of speculation. It has been under stood to mean in some quarters that the circular merely intended to im pose a 10 per cent, tax on clearing house certificates for local circulation. Commissioner Miller stated Friday that there was nothing at all of thai nature intended The circular was is sued merely for the purpose of pre venting the banks from issuing the small bank notes, that have been put in circulation lately. That is all there is to it. The circular does apply, however, to certified cheeks payable to bearer and issued for circulation in the place of money. A Batch of NoHinattoan. The president sent to the senate, Friday, the following nomidations: Theodore Runyon, .of New Jersey, ambassador extraordinary and pleni potentiary of the United States to Germany ; Albert S. Willis, of Ken tucky, envoy extraordinary and mi n ister plenipotentiary of the United States to the Havaiian islands ; Henry M.

A Brunswick, Ga., special says: Aroused by the action of Brunswick's council Thursday the government of ficials realized the mistake they were making and the extreme injustice done to the city in waiting to consult the Savannah authorities Friday they atoned for their mistake by wiring Sur geon General Wyman to order the quarantine against Brunswick raised as all danger was over. The . cities and towns of Georgia with the exception of Savannah promptly raised their quarantine, releasing Brunswick from herfearrterfi and once more giving her people a fighting chance for life and business. The majority of the 4,000 people in Brunswick now are laborers and many of their families are receiving help from the relief committee. In a few weeks their work will be resumed and the battle for bread will be more equal ized. Help, however, will be needed for them for several weeks yet and contributions will be gratefully re ceived. SAVANNAH YIELDS. A Savannah special says : The peo ple of Bmnswick, Tampa, Port Tampa, Ybor City and other points recently infected with yellow fever, can visit Savannah now if they desire. The sanitary board at its session Saturday raised the quarantine on these places and all restriction is to be removed im mediately. Mayor McDonough has notified Mayor Lamb, of Brunswick, and Mayor Knight, of Waycross, by telegram as to the action of the sani tarr officials and Health Officer Brun- ner was instructed to wire Surgeon General Wyman and roads. notify the rail- RUl'H HAS A SISTER. The President and Mrs. Cleveland Re- ceive Congratulations. A Washington special says : Another girl baby was born to President and Mrs. Cleveland Saturday. The birth of a baby in the white house,, was, of course, an event in which more than usual inter est was felt. In an incred-. ibly short space of time the news was known in congress and was spread through all the departments. The im minence of the important event wai made known early in the day by the issue of an order countermanding the usual Saturday concert by the marine band in the white house grounds. Dr. .yxnnhd and toon: up quarters in the white house, was the attending physician. The latest information ob tainable is that Mrs. Cleveland and her latest daughter were both doing well. The baby is a bright-eyed, healthy looking young lady. This is the first child born to a president in the white house, though there have been other births in the executive mansion. Immediately after the news had been confirmed, members of . the cabi net and their wives called to congrat ulate the president and leave their cards for Mrs. Cleveland, and there was a general air of suppressed excitement about the employes of the mansion. TelegTams of congratulation were re ceived from all parts of the country. HOME RULE REJ; CTED. The House of Lord Divided and Voted Adversely to the Bill. 'A London cable dispatch says: The house of lords divided Friday night at midnight and the result was the rejec tion of the motion" by a vote of 419 to 41. ' All the bishops went with the majority. The announcement of the result was received with laughter and some cheering. The house was then cleared of spectators and adjourned immediately. Outside of the building the police had kept a' free circulation during the the evening. At midnight a distinct ive unionist demonstration was held, consisting in the flourishing of the union jack, the singing of patriotic songs and cheering for Lord r5alin-' bury, the duke of Argyle and Joseph Chamberlain. Skyrockets were sent up from the precincts of the honse and the answer greeted with ringing cheers. NEW CAMPS Of Confederate Veteran as Announced by General Commanding.

COTTON MONEY. 5ew York Banks Will Parnlih What ii Needed. A special of Tuesday from Mem phis, Tenn., says : All the banks in the city have been notified by .their New York banking connection, that they are prepared to ship all the money necessary to Memphis to move the cotton crop. This news was re ceived with joy by the local financiers, who Teg&id the financial stringency aa-a thing of the past. The cotton crop will begin moving in earnest about September 15th, SOUTHERN 1 MS ITEMS, The Drift of Eer Progress and Pros perity Briefly Note! Happening of Interest Tort rayed la Pithy Paragraphs. - Dr. J. A. Dun woody, Saturday filed his report on his action as health o ffi cer of Brunswick in the Branham fever case and also his resignation as health officer. Dr. Dunwoody exonerates.; City Physician Branham from blame in bringing Surgeon Branham to Brunswick. - The Yourtree ore mine and the Russell ville coal mines, of Alabama, which suspended about two months ago, will resume operations on full ,'ime. About two thousand men will be given work. The companies" have . contracts enough ahead to fun the mines night and day for six months. The forecast of the crop returns o! the North Carolina agricultural de partment for September shows a de preciation of prospects of 25 per cent, from the August report. ThiH ia caused by the recent fearful cyclone that passed ovtr the state. The dam age was done by severe winds and floods. Tobacco suffered more than any other crop. Corn and cotton also were greatly damaged. Savannah wired Brunswick Satur day that she had raised the quaran tine. Brunswickians are grateful that a sensible sanitary board refused to heed Dr. Brunner's advice to keep the quarantinean. This ended the quaran tine against Brunswick. Surgeon Ma gruder is working faithfully to wind up the government's affairs at Bruns wick. When he concludes he will le gin at the Waycross end and will set tle all bills against the government. The Memphis Commercial's crop report for Mississippi, Tennessee and, Arkansas, published Thursday shows a reduction in the cotton crop in:1ho Memphis district below former limits. The continued drought is playing havoc with the cotton plant, and un less it rains within a few days tho damage will be still greater. In addi tion to the drought and cold nights the boll-worms have added in reduc ing the yield. Corn will make threo fourths of an average. G. W.
