BUSINESS IS
ON A BOOM.
FEARS that the rise may be
TOO RAPID.
ADVANCE IN PRICES HAS CHECKED
SOME BUSINESS.
The Trade In (he South In Beginning
To Slacken.
By Southern Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 30.—R. G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade
tomorrow will say: Improvement in
the markets and prices continues, and
whereas a few months ago everybody
was nursing the faintest hopes of re-
covery, it has now come to be the
only question in what branches, if any,
the rise In prices and in the Increase
of business may go too far. A strong
conservative feeling is finding expres¬
sion, not as yet controlling the markets
or industries, but warning against too
rapid expansion and rise, In some
directions the advance In prices clearly
checks future business. The industries
u ’ e tK) f only doing better than anybody
expected, but are counting upon
.a great business for the rest of the
year. Since the speculative spirit and
the jiower of combinations pushed up
prices of hides, leather and shoes, the
demand has distinctly declined, at least
for the present, and many works are
out of order, while few are now receiv¬
ing enough to support a full produc¬
tion. Shipments from the East in Au¬
gust foot up 356,376 cases against 355,844
last year and 323,494 in 1892.
The prospects for wheat have hardly
improved this week, though the price
has fallen 1 1-4 cents. Western re¬
ceipts have decidedly increased, but
are only 3,905,905 bushels against 6,428,-
294 last year, and Atlantic exports are
only 1,373,356 for the week, flour in¬
cluded, against 3,271,118 last year. In
the past four weeks Atlantic exports
have been only 4,368,589 bushels against
11,701,863 last year and this alone Is
quite enough to explain the failure to
maintain the sensational advance in
prices which so effectively checked the
outgo.
Corn is coming forward more freely
and the price has declined 1-4, with the
promise of a great crop. Pork and lard
are a shade lower.
Cotton is ristfs as If. there were no
surplus of 3,000, bales American ear-
ried over to the new crop year, which
begins with next week. Whether ex¬
aggerated or not, reports of injury
have impressed traders and purchases
in three days here amount to 955,800
bales. The price has advanced to 8.19
cents, and as there is no large supply
of actual cotton available at this time,
he market price can be easily moved.
Itut if the yeild is as short as buyers
believe it is not a good sign for busi¬
ness at the South, since the abundance
of old cotton in foreign markets must
hinder exports at higher prices dur¬
ing t! -1 very months planters are forc¬
ed to sell most of their product. Al¬
ready dispatches indicate that trade at
many Southern {mints is slack. The
volume of domestic trade is but slightly
better than in previous week, exceed¬
ing last year by 18.8 per cent, against
16.3 for earlier weeks of the month
and falling 8.1 per cent, below 1892.
against 9.1 in earlier weeks.
Railroad earnings in August have
been hardly .(if! per cent, larger than
last year, hut 10.3 per cent, smaller than
in 1S'92, the loss on Grangers and South¬
western roads being large. Tonnage
castbound from Chicago was 1SG.<,10 In
four weeks of Air;ust, 189,192 last year
and 207.095 in 18112. Failures in three
weeks of August show liabilities cf $0
519.300. manufacturing .$3,517,377 and
railing $2,852,989; in the same weeks
last year liabilities were $8,214,479,
manufacturing $2,845,338 and trading
$3,884,414. Failures for the week have
I. . n 180 in the United States, against
l.'b last year, and 42 in Canada, against
HI Inst year.
Bradstreel’s Review.
Ne w York, Aug. 30.—Brads reet’s to¬
morrow will say: The concluding week
of August surprises even he more op¬
timisin'. with a striking Increase ! n the
volume of business of jobbers in staple
lines at such centres as New- York, Bos¬

demand is making itself felt with the
prospect for a further improvement in
i 1 , mediate succeeding weeks. This sit¬
uation is encouraged hy the practical
.ettaintj of an unprecedentedly huge
crop of Indian corn and phenomenal
liaiiest of wheat in the Northwest, as
well as hy the unexpected upward

will tend upward in price.
The total volume of general trade
for the summer has beeu larger than
in 1804 and in many instances than in
1803, with the outlook today for even
a better fall demand than many had an¬
ticipated. The upward and onward im¬
pulse of this week is noticeable. All
winter lines of goods have felt an un¬
proved request, and manufacturers and
jobbers in dry goods, hardware and
groceries announce the receipts of many
orders for September delivery. Even
in Texas, where the south of the
State ha* suffered from drouth and at
the north from continuous rains and
where the cotton crop is to be short in
consequence, country merchants report
a better demand in some lines and fair
demand from wholesalers. The gen¬
eral course of prices has been indicated
with reference to the leading metals,
and higher prices for cotton stimulates
advances in quotations for ginghams
and prints. Wool is firmly held, largely
owing to the strength of London mar¬
ket.
LIBERTY BELL.
Judge Thayer Decide* That the Bell
May Go to Atlanta.
By Southern Associated Press.
Philadelphia, Pa.. Aug. 30.—Judge
Thayer, rendered an opinion today, de¬
ciding that the city could take the Lib¬
erty hell to the Atlanta exposition. The
opinion was delivered in connection with
a bill in equity recently filed by certain
well known citizens against the city,
Mayor Warwick, Jas. L. Mills, presi¬
dent of select council, W. F. Hartman,
president of common council Director
of Public Works Thompson, and Chief
Eisenhower of the bureau of city prop¬
erty.
The complainants appeared in the role
of citizens and tax payers, and asked
for an injunction to restrain the defend¬
ants from taking the hell to the Atlanta
exposition, on the grounds among other
things of the illegality of the appropria¬
tion to pay the expenses, and, also be¬
cause such a trip beyond the city limits
would be putting the bell to a use other
than its proper and legitimate one.
Judge Thayer refused the motion for
the injunction, and ordered that the
hill he dismissed with costs. In his
opinion, Judge Thayer says, among oth¬
er things, “Independence bell, or the
Liberty bell as It is commonly called,
is the property of the city of Philadel¬
phia. The property of Philadelphia in
the Liberty bell is ns absolute and as
untrammelled by conditions as is the
title by which any individual holds his
persona) property. It. la the prop
of the corporation and entirely under its
control. It may not make an unlawful
or fraudulent use of it, and against such
a use a court of equity might enjoin it.
But to warrant such an interference,
the use must plainly appear to be a
fraudulent or unlawful use.
“T am clearly of the opinion that there
are no conditions of law or justice which
forbid sending the bell to Atlanta, and
that so far from violating any princi¬
ple of law in so doing or any public or
private right, the city authorities are in
the performance of an act both lawful
ai d laudable, and which not only does
not deserve legal animadversion, hut is
In itself entirely proper ami praise¬
worthy.”

DWYER WAS NOT PLEASED.
In Ills English Racing Ri|irrlrncs
He Found Little Fair Play.
Michael F. Dwyer, tile turfman, set
foot on American soil yesterday for
the first time since he went away last
March to have a shy at the British
horsemen on their own ground. He
came home on the steamship Fulda, and
but for the announcement in last Sun-
,| a y morning's World his home-coming
would have been entirely unexpected.
He had intended coming on one of the
ships of the American line, but chang-
ed his mind nt the last moment.
The most important piece of inform*-
lion tthat Mr. Dwyer brought with
him was that his racing partner, Rich¬
ard Croker, has made every arrange¬
ment to return to America, and will be
here within the next thirty days—that
is, If nothing occurs to make him
change his mind. Mr. Croker has been
kept fully advised of the political sit-
nation in this city and, although Mr.
Dwyer would not admit it directly, he
| believed that the time lias about come
for him to return, if not to take the
Tammany reins into his own hands, at
j least to help those of his friends who
now find themselves in a quandary.
Of his own experiences abroad, Mr.
Dwyer, with his customary diffidence,
was inclined to say but little when he
was seen by a World reporter. The
great plunger was never a very good
talker. That he had had a .good time
and had thoroughly enjoyed himself
was quite apparent. His trip abroad
has done him an immense lot of good
iu a physical way, even if he did have
some misfortune with his horses. He
looks to he much heartier and strong¬
er than he was when he went away.
With all that, however, he admitted
that he was glad to get luick to Ameri¬
ca once more. He qualified this some¬
what, though: by saying that he may
return to England at some time in the
future and have another go at the
game over there.
This first trill of his has beeu some¬
what in the nature of an experiment,
and when he goes again he will be pre¬
pared to make use of all that he has
learned in his kindergarten- experience
in British racing. One of Mr. Dwyer’s
most marked traits is his vengefulness.
He feels that he was not fairly treated
across the water and it will be strange
if he does not go back ready to get
even, in every respect.
"The only horse that I have left In
my stable.’’ said Mr. Dwyer, "le Harry
Reed. The others that I took over
have gone Into English etables and 1
hope that their new owners will get
a 'whole lot of good out of them. Per-
ha^-d'iey will and perhaps they won’t.
“Still I do not want to complain too
much about the treatment I have re¬
ceived. I knew Just what I would have
to expect when I went abroad and If
everything did not come my way I have
only myself to blame. They do things
in a different way .in England from
what they do here, and the man tha1
i gue* there expecting to have every-
thing his own wayy will come back
with a very different Idea. I must ad-
mit that T was not altogether pleased
with my treatment on English race-
j tracks. Not once did they ever give
11 - the best of it in a handicap. In
fact, it was almost invariably the oth¬
er ^vay. My horses and those of Mr.
Croker had to pack up the weight
wherever it was possible for the in to
pile it on 11 s.
“From the very first my horses were
handicapped far above their real worth.
The English handicapperg seem to have
had an idea that we hail nothing but
world-beaters in our string, and thus it
was all odds against our ever being
al)!e to will a race Banquet was an
,,ld horse when I took him there, and
t)lP W oights they put on him were sim-
p ] y enough to anchor him. A good
horse, he was scarcely given a fair
,-fiance to slhow what was In him.
"When I found that they were not
going to let me win a handicap, X had
to put my horses into selling races,
where I could fix the weight to suit
myself and make it something within
the powers of my horses. Then the
Englishmen took advantage of another
ritfit that was allowed them fiy the
rules of this kind of races, When 1
" they would bid my horse up and I
edlicr had to pay a round «»m to re-
Inin him or else lose him. If I was
i,eaten, some one of the other owners in
rare wollM claim my horse, and 1
WO „| ( j h av e to let him go. In that way
they got all that I had, except Harry
Reed, and I guess they would have
fiad him, too, if the starter had not
left him at the poet in the last race
in which he started. He had an excel-
j,. n y (fiance to win. and I am sure that
they knew it. It’s a hard thing to
sa y that your horse has been left at the
post intentionally, but I must admit
that t felt a good deal that way in this
instance. Anyway, I was very much
disgusted, and it was as much that aa
anything else that hastened my inten¬
tion to return to America. So, T Just
<111 it them, and here I am. Harry Reed
is corning home, too.”
“How did you make out in the way
of betting, Mr. Dwyer?”
“I understand that there have been
rriany reporta of our large winnings and
our large losings, too, while we were
in England. Well, you know how that
is. They can get up those reports very
easily and without much foundation.
As a matter of fact we did have some
hud days, but then that does not signi¬
fy anything, for I have had Just such
days here and never felt very bad
als/uf it. f did lose considerable money
on my own horses, but I managed to
pick out a few good things in the sta¬
bles of other owners, and I had enough
money on them to cover .what I had
lost on my own. It is a« easy to pick
out a good horse there as it is here.
It/s easy, too, to get your money down
in large lumips if you want it.”
Jockey Willi- Sims did not accom-
panv Mr. Dwyer on his return. He
tarts for home today, so as to be here
in time .. to . ride Handspring for Phil.

A BLOODY FEUD.
Two Mon 11 tillneer Faction* are Oot
for Knob Others Blood.
By Southern Associated Press.
Lexington, Ky., Aug. 30.—Late re¬
ports from a portion of Harlan county,
bordering on the Virginia line where a
fend has been raging between the He!
tons and Taylors, are to the effect that
the Brooks hoys, five in number have
enlisted under Taylor’s banner, and bud
Jim Jackson who fiae killed several men,
and is now out on hail for shooting with
intent to kill, has joined the Heltons.
The hanging of Talt Hall hy law
quieted the blood-thirsty mountaineers
in that section for a time, but the rev-
ernie men who have been busy in Ilnr-
Ian county, trying to break up illicit dis¬
tilling have stirred up the factions
again. The county is almost inaccessi¬
ble, but both factions are said to be
well armed and all conditions are fav-
orable for a genuine feud.
SPANISH REINFORCEMENTS.
Several Butteries Leave for Cadis
and Valencia.
Madrid, Aug. 30.—Several batteries of
troop« left Cadiz and Valencia yesterday
to reinforce the Spanish columns In
Cuba. The other contingent of troops will
leave for Cuba today.
The story which has been In circulation
that the Minister of Marine has called
out the reserve Is denied In official cir¬
cles. General Salcedo, who recently re¬
turned from Cuba, repeated in an Inter¬
view today, the statement he made upon
his arrival, that It was absolutely neces¬
sary that a large body of troops whould
be sent to reinforce the army in Cuba.
