BUSINESS STILL IN A RUT.
Prices in Nearly Every Line Again
Greatly Depressed.
The Money Markets Still Glutted as
a Result of the Stagnation in Trade
No Increase in the Volume of
Domestic Trade—Exports of Gold
Among- the Probabilities of the Near
Future.
New York, Feb. ‘.23.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade to-morrow will
say: “A waiting condition of business is
one in which weekly fluctuations mean
nothing. Business of all kinds is hesi
tating until more can be determined about
the future, and meanwhile orders
which will keep hands at work for
a time are given and accepted,
this week increasing as in some others
decreasing, without affording reasonable
indications of the future. Prices are
again greatly depressed, as low or lower
than ever, having been made in wheat,
silver, and some manufactured products,
and neither cotton, wool nor raw iron
have advanced.
THE OI.UT or MONET.
“The glutted money markets continue
to show that the volume of business is
still inadequate to employ the circula
tion available and tlie withdrawal of
about $60,000,000 from the New York mar
ket by the sale of government bonds
does not cause the expected strengthen
ing of rates With gradually decreasing
shipments of merchandise to other coun
tries. foreign exchange rises, and some
exports of gold are expected. The volume
of domestic trade does not seem to in
crease. In all clearing house payments
the decrease is 44.6 i>er cent for the week,
against 37.8 per cent, for the previous
week and about 37.5 per cent, for the
month this far.
COTTON’S DECLINE.
“Cotton was a sixteenth lower, with con
siderable trading, the receipts from plan
tations still exceeding those of last year,
but the exports showed a relatively large
increase, while Llliaon reports foreign
consumption nearly full. The takings
of northern spinnersrsince .lan. 1 have
been 38 per cent, smaller than last year to
date.
LOAN RATES LOWER.
“Hesitancy and uncertainty still con
trol the money market. Rates are even a
shade lower than in recent weeks, com
mercial paper being in small supply at 'A%
to C per cent., while call loans are seldom
made at more than 1 per cent. Foreign
exchange hus advanced about a cent, and
but for the strong condition of Kurmiean
banks gold would have gone abroad al
ready. A further decline in silver takes
the price below the lowest previous
record, and is partly due to a heavy ship
ment from New York during the week
The treasury deficit in February is some
what smaller than in January, for though
customs receipts do not enlarge and for
the month thus far are 36 per cent, less
than a year ago, the internal revenue
for the mouth shows some increase over
last year.
“The industrial changes have been
few, but a little better demand for some
textile goods has started more mills than
have stopped There is a better feeling
in fancy cottons, though some goods are a
siiade lower.
“Woolen dress goods are steady, with a
fair demand, and. though orders for
heavy woolens and worsteds are light,
they are a little better, some agents hav
ing made fair progress.
"A larger demand gives encouragement
in the iron and steel manufacture, and in
creases the output of the mills, though it
is yet only 50 to 00 per cent, of their
capacity. Hence, fierce competition con
tinues to depress prices, and while the re
cent slight advance in steel billets and pig
iron has been lost, some other products
are selling lower than usual.
“The prices of commodities now aver
age about ‘4 per cent, hipher than a
month apo. but 11.7 per cent, lower
than a year apo, and. exceptinp this year,
have never oeeu as low on the whole as
they are now.
••The failures durinp the past week
numbered in the United States JHB,
apainst 11)3 last year, and in Canada 51,
against 37 last year.”
WHAT BF.ADSTREET SAT?.
In their weekly review of the state of
trade Bradstreet’s will say to-morrow:
“The demand for fertilizers remains
moderately active at Charleston and Au
gusta, and at the latter city collections
have improved, as has the demand for
cotton factory products.
“Trade at Atlanta is dull, but at Chat
tanooga the season’s business in hardware
is reported more satisfactory than last
year.
••General trade is unchanged at Savan
nah and <iuiet at Nashville, where collec
tions are only fair.
“Memphis reports moderate activity,
with a tendency to iaiprovement in busi
ness.
“At Birmingham. Aia.. and at Galves
ton, no chanpe is reported in business.
“Heavy rains have aflected dealings
at New Orleans, although rice is active
and the corn expor. movement heavy.
"Dallas reports a prowinp volume of
business, with cold weather stimulating
reouost, and immigration enhancing the
values of farm lands.”
DROWN A BIGAMIST.
The Man Who Couldn’t Tell His
Name Probably Regrets That He
Recalled It.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 23.—Word comes
from North Carolina that David Drown
is a bigamist. Drown is the man who
lay at the Grady hospital here for three
weeks, unable to tell his name. He had
been picked up one night unconscious,
having been sandbagged and robbed. He
was a great mystery. When he re
covered consciousness he could not
remember his name or where he
was from. He ottered *l5O reward
to any one who would identify him. On
Monday last he sprang up and ran
through the hospital Ward?, snouting
“Eureka.” “Eureka.” He had remem
bered his name, which he said was
Drown. He had lived In Winston. N. C.
Detective Cason left here with him yes
terday to take him to Winston and piace
him among friends if he has any there.
To-day information was received by the
police that Drown is a bigamist.
ATKINSON DISSATISFIED.
The Executive Committee Meeting
Too Early to Satisfy Him.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 23.—Hon. W. Y. At
kinson passed through tho city to-day on
his way home. Mr. Atkinson is not at all
satisfied with the early meeting of tho
state executive committee on March 3.
He thinks May would hate been soon
enough.Mr. Atkinson seems to see in the
early call for the committee, a disposition
to use the party machinery against him,
but declares that if any such attempt is
made lie will meet it m such a way as to
hang his opponents with their own rujres.

BRUNSWICK'S STATE BANK.
Another Effort to Reorganise the In
stitution.
Brunswick. Ga , Feb. 28.—W. F. Scott,
of Brandon, Vt.. is in Brunswick investi
gating the affairs of the Brunswick State
Bank in the interest of Messrs. Marsh
& Thayer of Vermont, who were very
large stockholders.
If Mr. Scott finds the bank's condition
in anyway favorable be will pro.'ably
recommend the offering lo the depositors
: and other creditors of a comproa.ise, and
endeavor to place the bank back on a
sound footing Messrs. Marsh A Thayer
arc very much interested in having the
affairs of the Brunswick State Bank
wound up satisfactorily as it is generally
believed that througn an incomplete
transferor their stock when they sold to
the parties owniug the majority stock at
■the time of the bank collapse, the papers
were not complete from a strictly legal
point of view, such a gap being
left down as to make it an open
question whether the receiver cannot sue
and hold them liable for the entire
amount of stock they formerly owned,
under the liability clause relating to
transfers of stock. Receiver Brobston,
with the assistance of his attorneys,
Messrs. Goodyear A Kay, are searching
for every point that will enable them to
gain money for the creditors, and if the
transfer of stock was illegal in Messrs.
Marsh & Thayers' case there have been
other Illegal transfers by parties who are
now able to pay. It is barelv possible
that the parties interested will get to
gether, propose a compromise to the cred
itors. open the bank and endeavor to work
out its assets, rather than risk the court's
decision on the transfer of their stock.
Marsh A Thayer are able to open the
bank. and. should they decide to do so,
would continue it and make money. It is
thought that the investigations of Mr.
Scott will result favorably, but the people
are still very skeptical of any rumors
that are encouraging in regard to the
bank.
WARESBORO BRIEFS.
A Number of Changes in Mercantile
Firms.
Waresboro, Ga., Feb. 23.—This little
town is becoming headquarters for stock
men. Within the last two days ten farm
mules have been soid from the sale
stables.
Col. C. C. Thomas, of W T aycross, deliv
ered at the academy last night a very
interesting address on the subject of edu
cation.
There have been several changes in
mercantile circles here lately.
C. E. VanVonse and others. Including
several good farmers, bid in the stock of
J. M. Spence A Cos., and have petitioned
for a charter for a stock company, under
the firm name and style of "The" Wares
boro Trading Company.
Dr. J. M. Spence, James Y. Carter and
Maj. J. M. Spence bought the stock of J.
W. Davidson A Cos., at Waltertown, and
have moved it here operating it under the
name of “J. M. Spence, Jr., A Co.'’
C. G. Parker, for the last three years
bookkeeper for J. M. Spence A Cos , has
bought an interest in the mercantile busi
ness of J. P. Lide, and hereafter the firm
will be J. P. Lide A Cos.
Mr. C. G. Jeffords has opened up a gro
cery store.
M. Sears, of the firm of Middleton A
Sears, has bought out Mr. Middleton's
interest, and will operate the business by
himself.
The recent rains in this section have
swollen the creeks and river to such an
extent that travel by private conveyance
is almost impossible.
BRUNSWICK’S NEW SEWERS.
The City to Be Put in as Good Sani
tary Condition as Possible.
Brunswick. Ga., Feb. 23.—The sewerage
contractors have begun work, and sur
veyors are now laying off the lines. Those
in charge are beseiged with applicants
for work. Strict preference is given to
Brunswick labor. The contract calls for
twenty one miles, to be paid for with
$150,090 worth of city bonds. Out of the
$150,000 paid for this work, Brunswick
will probably get $60,000 back in wages
paid to hands, money paid for hauling,
etc.
About 20,000 will be let out by June 1,
and this will assist the local currency cir
culation.
It seems certain that history is repeat
ing itself, and Brunswick after the epi
demic will stride forward, commercially
speaking, as she has never done before,
’i he hard knocks Brunswick and her citi
zens have received during the past two
years, brought all dowu to terra firnia
from the clouds in which they were sail
ing, aud now the word "boom” will not
be tolerated in connection with the city’s
growth.

ROUGH ON THE TAX PAYERS.
Atlanta's Council Agree to Buy the
Piedmont Exposition Grounds.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 23.—The city coun
cil to-day with but one dissenting vote
agreed to buy the property of the Piedmont
Exposition Company for $106, 000 and turn
it over to the Cotton States Exposition
Company for the show to be held next
year. A great deal of bad feeling has
been stirred up by the trade. The coun
cil is charged with being a party to a deal
for the benefit of land owners who were
caught in a hole, but managed to unload
on the city at a speculative profit. Mayor
Goodwin has not yet approved the deal
and there is some doubt a; out his acqui
escence iu the action of the council.

THE MORNING XEYVS>SATCKDA\\ EEBKUAKY 24, 1894.
TWO YOUNG PEOPLE MISSING.
Both Residents of Atlanta and When
Last Seen Were Together.
Atlanta. Ga.. Feb. 23.—A lively sensa
tion has developed out of the disappear
ance of Henry McDonald, son of Rev. D.
McDouald. pastor of the fashionable
Second Baptist church, and pretty Nellie
Webb, the 17 year-old daughter of Bert
Webb, a railroad engineer living at s‘J
McDaniel street. The girl's departure
from home has brought the case to public
view. Her absence did not assume sen
sational proportions until young Mc-
Donald was thought to be identified as
her i artuer in her disappearance. Mc-
Donald. who recently married the daugh
te. of one of the best families in the state
under quite romantic circumstances has
always been considered wild in
his morals and unreliable in busi
ness affairs.
i>astSaturdav McDonald and Miss Webb
were last seen on the streets together.
Last Saturday night Mr. McDonald
was seen with Miss Webb at the Edge
wood Avenue theater. Miss Webb was
“stage struck,” and McDonald to humor
her tried to introduce her behind the
scenes, but was refused by the manager.
The last seen of the pair was Sunday
afternoon, when McDonald and Miss
Webb were walking together on Peach
tree street. The detectives have been
altogether unable to locate McDonald
since that time. Inquiries at his resi
dence, on Washington street, elicited the
information that he had not been there
for several days, and that his wife
and the other members of his family
were extremely anxious about him. They
thought he was off on a spree, and were
greatly distressed The detectives who
have been diligently searching for the
pair, believe that the pair are somewhero
in the city, though it is reported that
they left on the Memphis train Sunday
night.
The girl’s parents have always had de
voted confidence in her. She is their only
child, and the father is deeply wrought
up over her disappearance.
On Saturday McDonald secured several
diamonds from four jewelry stores, claim
ing that he wanted to show them to his
wife in order that she might make a se
lection. The jewelers have not seen the
stones sin e, and it is suspected by some
persons that McDonald pawned them.

THOM ASVILLE’S JAIL DELIVERY.
None of the Convicts Recaptured Yet.
The Jailer Doing Well.
Thotnasville, Ga., Feb. 23.—Since the
escape of the six prisoners from the jail
here yesterday, as noted in to-da.y's
Morning News, it has been raining
almost steadily. From time to time
searching parties have returned to the
city, but with no results. Sheriff Doss
chartered an engine last night and went
down to McKae, in Brooks county, and got
his two trained blood hounds. Returning
to this city and leaving again at 2 o’clock
this morning, he crossed the Ochloeknee
river and started the dogs where
Speiuer and his fellow malefactors
were last seen. The dogs immediately
took tlie scent and traced the
negroes several miles into Barnett Creek
Swamp and finally lost the trail where
the water was waist deep. The negroes
are keeping together and to-night are
hiding- among the brush and in the water
of a dismal swamp, while it is cold and
raining. All the bridges and nads are
guarded to-night notwithstanding , the
weather, and the search will be r -owed
to-morrow. The heavy aud continued
rains have greatly aided the fugitives in
escaping capture.
Singletary, the wounded jailer, is doing
well. Tlie two bullets, one in his shoul
der and one in his head, have not been
extracted. It is thought that he will
recover. Singletary showed great cour
age in his fight with the desperadoes and
universal sympathy is expressed for him.

Exposition to be held in Atlanta in 1895 to

directors of the company have not yet
made avail for funds, more than $50,000
additional has already been voluntarily
subscribed.
A preliminary fund of $200,090 will bo
asked for from the citizens of Atlanta
next week, and so enthusiastic are the
business men of the city for the success
of the exposition that already more than
that amount is guaranteed, ft is confi
dently expected that a preliminary sum of
$3000,000 will be raised with which, by
the assistance of bonds and other slips,
the exposition will be at once placed o i
a million dollar basis.
Representatives will be sent at once to
the South American republics, Mexi o
and Cubu, aud before another week the
movement will be under full headway.

FIXING TRAFFIC RATES.
The Southwestern Association Con
siders Various Schedules.
New Orleans. La., Feb. 23.—The meet
ing of the Southwestern Traffic Associa
tion adjourned earlier than .usual to-day.
in order to give opportunity to various
committees to report upon sunjects re
ferred to them for consideration.
Previous to the adjournment, however,
consideration was given to rates that
should be applied upon returned ship
ments. It was determined to deny appli
cations for special rates upon shipments
of unsaleable goods and upon safes re
turned for repairs, for which special ap
plication had been submitted: and
further, to limit the special traffics on ac
count of returned shipments to those
heretofore authorized.
A check was made of the rates on
horses and mules in carloads, from Texas
points to points in the Indian Territory
and a resolution was adopted making the
rates to such Indian Territory stations
$22.50 per car higher than the rates on
stock cattle, it being further provided
that when the shipments consist of cow
ponies to be used in herding, followed by
shipments of cattle, the rate.shall be $lO
per oar higher than the stock cattle rate.
After considerable discussion of the
rates on cotton seed products, the matter
was referred to a committee consisting of
the representatives of the Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas; Atchison. Topeka and
Santa Fe, and Southern Pacific compa
nies.
The meeting will again convene at 9:30
to-morrow morning.

An Alligator Story.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 23.—“Whiletravel
ling from house to house in Charlton
county last January.” said a well known
canvasser this morning, T heard a
strange story about an alligator. A
farmer, who lives in close proximity to
an alligator pond was at work on the
plantation and his family were
at a neighbor's house. Re
turning home about sundown,
they heard a strange noise in one of the
living rooms. The farmer supposed that
a burglar was in the house, und he quietly
opened the front door and took down his
shotgun. He went in the room where the
noise was, and found, lying restlessly
upon the bed with his head on
the pillow, a medium-sized alli
gator. The man was surprised
and frightened. The alligator heard a
noise, and looking around saw the gun
pointed toward him. The man hanged
away with his gun, and a dozen buckshot
entered the alligator’s head. Another
load of shot was sent whizzing at the rep
tile, causing death. Thedishes and tables
in the dining-room were broken, and
the pantry was robbed of its victuals.
Having satisfied his appetite, the reptile
crawled upon the bed and prepared to
take a nap. The alligator was with diffi
culty removed from the house.”
