THE INVESTIGATION STOPPED.
Attorney General Olney's Orders Re¬
garding the Gate City Bank Case.
The investigation at Atlanta of the
Gate City Bank defalcation by the United
States grand jury has been brought to a
sudden stop. Day and night, for days
past, United States District Attorney
Darnell and Captain Henry Jacksr.n have
done herculean service in pushing this
investigation. They have literally gone
to the bottom of things. Tuesday, At¬
torney-General Olney wired Captain
Jackson to suspend further action in the
bank investigation until further notice,
and his reasons for putting a atop to the
investigation are a theme for much spec¬
ulation.

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
Issued From the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for March.
The mean temperature for the month
of March differs but slightly from the
normal throughout all agricultural dis¬
tricts east of the Rocky mountains, ex¬
cept in the spring wheat regions of Min-
nessota and the Dakotas. In the gulf
states, the southern portion of the At¬
lantic states, and in Missouri and Kansas
the average temperature for the month
was about two degress below' the normal,
while in the northen stutes, east of the
degree, Mississippi, the departure was about one
there being a slight excess in
the Virginia and upper Ohio valley,
New where they correspond in deficiency in
England.
Over the spring wheat region the aver¬
age temperature was from five to ten de¬
grees below the normal. On the north
Pacific coast the temperature for the
month was from three to six degrees
lower than usual, while in northern Mon¬
tana the deficiency amounted to from
ten to twelve degrees per day.
The weeks ending March 6th and 20th
were decidedly colder than usual
throughout the central valleys, includ¬
ing the winter and spring wheat regions
and the gulf states, while the week end¬
ing March 13th was decidedly warmer
than usual over the region named, show¬
ing that the winter wheat has been sub¬
jected to trying conditions of freeing
and thawing, the effect of which it will
not be possible to determine until the
crop is further advanced. The week
ending March 27th was relatively warm
throughout the southern and middle At¬
lantic states and Ohio valley, and colder
throughout the northwest.
The month of March was relatively dry
throughout all districts east of the Mis¬
sissippi, except in Wisconsin and Florida.
There .was also* less rain than usual in the
southwest and as far north as Kansas and
Missouri.
Throughout the cotton region the de¬
ficiency in rainfall ranged from two to
four inches, except in Texas and west¬
ern Arkansas, where the rainfall was
from one to two inches less than usual.
The rainfall throughout the Ohio valley,
middle Atlantic and New England
states was from one to two inches below
the normal except over portions of the
immediate New England coast, where
there was a slight increase. Unusually Florida,
heavy rains occurred in
where the excess ranges from one to
five inches. More than the usual
amount of rain is also reported from the
Btat< s of the upper Missouri valley and
the Dakotas, and the eastern portion of
South Dakota, amounting to one inch.
Excessive rains also occurred in southern
and northern California and the central
portion of the state received almost an
inch more than the usual amount. Ore¬
gon received from two to three inches
less rain than usual for the month of
March, and the state of Washington re¬
ports a slight excess. Throughout the
greater portion of the Rocky mountain
districts and over the central plateau re¬
gion there was a general deficiency in
rainfall, but reports from Arizona indi¬
cate a slight excess in that region.
DECISION AGAINST STRIKES.
Merchants Affected are Entitled to In-
junctions and Other Relief,
Judge Billings, in the United States
court, dered at New Orleans, Saturday, ren-
an opinion in the suit of the gov-
ernment and the agaicst'the Amalgamated council
new officers of the various labor
organizations which ordered the general
strike in November last. An injunction
against the organizations was asked for
under the act of congress prohibiting
combinations in restraint of trade.
In an elaborate opinion, the court Bets
aside every claim of the defendants and
declares that the acts of the Amalga¬
mated council and the officers ol the
union were unlawful in ordering a gen¬
eral strike, and that the merchants are
entitled to injunctions and other relief.
The decision diseusses fully the right of
labor unions, and is far-reaching in its
(Sects. As a result of the decision crim¬
inal posccution against the defendants
would probably lie, but it is not yet
known whether the United States au¬
thorities will proceed further against the
alleged labor leaders.

most to a crisp.
SPRING TRADE.
Bradstreet’s Eeport of Business for
tlie Past week.
Bradstreet’s report for the past week
says: Cool and clear weather generally
has improved without the prospect increase for in spring
trade, but In central an distri¬
bution. the western states a
fair movement of merchandise is reported,
although prospects are improved north¬
west business continues retarded. The
south remains quiet ns heretofore. Re¬
ports of improving trade characterize
advices from western centers, where
there are numerous arrivals of country
buyers and orders for spring goods. In
no previous spring have reports of the
effect on general trade of bad roads
southwest and northwest been so con-
spicous as recently. Collections are only
fair, with no serious complaints. Ex¬
ports of wheat from the United States
for the week, both coasts, flour included,
equal 2,875,122 bushels against 2,766,22
bushels the week before; 2,379,330 bush¬
els in the week a year ago and smaller
quantities in like weeks in preceding
years. The close of the month brings a
falling off in volume of merchandise dis
tributed from New Orleans, where cot¬
ton and rye markets are depressed while
sugar is pressed and bouyaut. The pros¬
pect is still for a larger cotton acreage,
but a reduced rece acreage is promised.
The recent firmness of the market has
developed into a decided tendency in
prices to creep up in the face of narrow
and inactive speculation. This address,
much to the confusion of the bearish
section of the professional traders, who
rely upon the possibility of gold ship¬
ments or of a squeeze in money in the
withdrawals of the money for the apt
settlements throughout the country dis¬
tricts had created a considerable short
interest.
Arrested for Forgery.
A Louisville, Ky„ special says: A. R.
Button and bis confidential bookkeeper,
William M. Beecher, were arrested Fri¬
forgery. day afternoon, each on ten charges of
Thus the climax in the cele¬
brated whisky forgery case of A. R. Sut¬
ton <fc Co. was reached and a court of
justice will say whether the two men are
guilty. The Farmers’ and Drovers’
bank, which was caught for $15,000, links
swore out the warrants, and other
hare signified their intention of assist¬
ing the prosecution.
NEW SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES,
rh« Chattftnobga tradesman Gites
Some Interesting Statistics.
The quarterly statement of southern
industries prepared by the Tradesman* of
Tennessee, thows that for the first quar¬
tet of 1899 the new industries establish¬
ed ctceed those *1 the first quarter of
1899 by 198, while for the first quarter
of this year only 8 developed companies
hate been incorporated» during the same
period for last year 27 were formed.
The quarter just ended also shows 76
cotton .'1 and woolen mills established, 59
ur and gtist mills, 29 canning facto-
ies, 40 oil ttiilli abd the building of 92
■vaterworks plants. That the extensive
timber interests of the south are not only
ttracting attention, but capital, is shown
>y the fact that 105 new woodworking
plants have been established during the
pa t qtlarter fts against 122 in 1892 and
141 in the first quarter of 1841. Ten
'lessee heads the list with 33 new indus-
ries in this line to her credit. Georgia
nd North Carolina are close rivals with
24 and 23 respectively. All the southern
tates, however, are well represented in
this ing development, Mississippi with 7, be¬
the smallest number.
Seventy-six textile industries were es-
ablished in the quarter as against 28 in
he first quarter of 1892 and 45 ia the
same period of 1891; and the very gen¬
eral character of this development is
shown by the fact that only 3 s‘ates—
Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia,
sre not represented in this total. Ala¬
bama leads the list with 22; North Caro¬
lina, 16; Georgia, 13; South Carolina,
8, and Virginia, 5; Mississippi, 4, arid
Tennessee and Texas 3 each, and Florida
>nd Louisiana 1 each.
This quurter shows 58 flour and grist
mills established as against 29 for the
same quarter of 1892. The increasing
demand for cotton seed oil and its pro¬
ducts, together with the advance in prices
which has recently taken place, accounts
for the large number of new oil mills or¬
ganized during the quarter; a total of
40 is shown as against 10 in 1892 and
8 in the fame quarter of 1891, over half
of the total number being located in
Texas, aud the remainder scattered
throughout the other cotton growing
states. Twelve brick and tile plants are
reported, 22 cotton compresses, 21 elec¬
tric light plants, 22 foundries and ma¬
chine shops, 7 ice factories, 32 water¬
works plants and 93 other miscellaneous
industries.

it was $963,281,752. The certificates
and treasury notes offsett by an equal
amount of cash in the treasury, outstand¬
ing at the end of the month, was $597, r
428,091, a decrease of $4,400,255. The
total ca-h in the treasury was $762,768,-
427 against which liabilities were out¬
standing, including the $100,000,000
greenback gold reserve, to the amount
of $737,137,699, leaving an avail-
able surplus of $25,630,728. Of this
$6,892,223 was gold. Of the surplus
$15,954,641 was in national bank depos¬
itories against $15,681,503 at the end of
the previous month.
The receipts for the month of March
$32,327,997. were $34,437,844, and expenditures

THE DUBOSE CASE
Still the Subject of Discussion in
Memphis—A New Sensation.
A Memphis, Tenn., special says: The
Dubose case continues to be fruitful in
sensations. Another was sprung on the
community Friday. Mrs. Manning, one
of the women who made affidavit that
Judge Dubose hnd offered her indigni¬
ties, and which affidavit, with others
similar, was made the basis of impeach¬
has ment made proceedings another affidavit before the declaring legislature that
she had been bribed to make false char¬
ges against his honor. She denies that
Judge Dubrse offered her insult. Her
reason for recanting, she says, are that a
member of the Law and Order League
who promised her “good money” if she
made the effidavit, and “big money” if
she had to go to Nashville to testify, has
failed to pay her, though repeatedly im¬
portuned to do so.
