It is the only kind of improve

case the situation will not be

weaker, steel oiiieis ana bars again
making tho lowest price on record,
though the line is more hopeful, both
hero and at the west, with little more
business. Copper, tin and lead are
weaker. Sales for the week are 2,786,-
900 pounds at tho three chief markets,
against 5,805,500 last year, but there is
more inquiry from worsted and carpet
manufacturers. Some have started their
machinery. Overcoatings are 10 to 15
per cent lower than a year ago, but tne
deliveries of dress goods are larger than
of late and the demand is more urgent.
In cotton goods there is no definite
change.
Shipments of boots and shoes for the
week were nearly a quarter smaller than
a year ago, but there is a growing con
fidence that the business must soon in
crease. Wheat is a shade weaker,
though western receipts are 1,750,000
bushels for the week, against 3 938,000 a
year ago. Atlantic exports are only 670,-
000 bushels, against 1,488,000 last year.
Stocks in sight decrease but little and
government crop estimates get little at
tention.
Corn is naturally weaker, with very
large receipts, though exports are 60 per
cent larger than a year ago. Cotton has
been lifted by speculation 3-16, though
the decrease in receipts is not large, and
stocks in sight here and abroad. _ar& -big'
enough to mcet nearly half a year’s con
sumption. Bank clearings also indicate
that no large gain has occurred as yet in
the volume of business, being 21 per
cent smaller than a year ago.
Failures for the week have been 471
in the United States, against 286 last
year and 57 in Canada, against 20 last
year. Tiie liabilities of all firms failing
for the week ending January Ith were
§5,672,514.
Bradstreet Confirms Dun.
Bradstreet’s commercial agency says:
Special telegrams from leading trade
centers bring evidence, not only of much
that is encouraging regarding the out
look, but that the tide has actually re
turned. It appears beyond question that
the depression in industrial and com
mercial lines has for some time existed
when at a low ebb, and that a move
ment in the direction of an expansion of
the volume of business has appeared.
The pendulum swung in one direction
from May last year until 1894, should
soon be swinging in the opposite direc
tion, ami Bradstreet’s points as evidence
of that fact to the increase of 84 per
cent in the production of pig iron within
three months; to an excess of deposits
over payments at some of the largest
savings banks in the United States, and
to resumption of work at industrial es
tablishments in all directions, even
with lower wages and on shorter time,
as contrasted with the epidemic of shut
downs prevalent a month or more ago.
In addition, there is direct evidence
that the tide is rising at various points.
Nashville Fighting: Smallpox,
Nashville, Jan. 13.—At a called ses
sion of the city council, $5,000 was ap
propriated to be used in vaccinating cit
izens generally and in fighting the small
pox in other ways. Another case has
been reported. This one is a negro wo
' man. All the seven cases are close to
i gether, and will be taken to the new
. pest house as soon as it is convenient.
They are now guarded and the other in
mates of the houses quarantined.

MISS LILIAN LEWIS-
Comedy and Tragedy, Spectacle and Ballet
Tomorrow.
la “Goodbye Sweetheart” which Miss
Lilian Lewis has made such a success in,
there is comedy and tragedy, spectacle
and drama and ballet and scenery and
costum-s, and mechanical and electrical
and calcium effects, and better than all
that there is a touch of nature, pure and
simple, and honest nature which appeals
to every one and which has been the
greatest factor in the success of the play.
Miss Lewis plays her part like life itself,
she does not act at all, she simply speaks,
is simply simple and houest. is simply
perfectly natural, is simply a beautiful
generous, whole souled, self-sacrificing,
self denying, pure and noble woman, and
w ■ '-i w w
1/ iD'’’{gok Tljere-HMSAni?
’'Ten td,ke rpe —1 will Joe your wile?
wins the love of all hearts because such
a woman as she presents was made to be
loved by all other men and women, and
children for that matter; because she
herself is a natural child of nature, a
thing seldom found in art.
There are tableaus and visions and
songs and dances and wine and mirth
and love and despair and laughter and
tears in “Goodbye Sweetheart.” There
is also a realistic storm in the play, and
Miss Lewis herself dances a Masurka and
is a poem of grace; but there is a bigger
thing than all this in “Goodbye Sweet
heart.” It is the language of the heart
to the heart, it is tbe great love of a gen
erous womao for all humanity, which
fills all souls and minds with the good
ness of good life.
Matinee, prices only 50 and 25 cents; at
night, $1 00, 75 and 25 cents.
MR. ED ANGIER APPOINTED

B me and Columbus Rillroad.
before leaving the city yesterday after
noon an important office was filled by
Judge Pardee in the appointment of Mr.
Ed Angier as master in Chancery for the
