It la known, however, that no man In

Many hearts and homes in Macon
will be 6addt*mlcd by tlie announce*
ment of the death of Mrs. J. O. Wynn,

The sad event occurred yesterday

TRADE CONDITIONS.
Dun ft Co.'a Review of Trade for the
Week.
New York. June 15—R. G. Dun ft
Co.'* weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
The strike of bituminous coal miners
will end Monday wherever the author
ity and advice of their general organl-
Ination can end It. and there I* little
room to doubt that the coal famine
will then begin to abate. Some time
must elapse, however, before supplies
of fuel will enable *11 works to resume
which have no other reason for sus
pending production. Meanwhile th»
demand for products la an slock that
it seems questionable whether aS many
hands will find employment before the
end of June as were employed In April.
The actual output of pig Iron for the
week ending June 1 was only (3,517 tone
against 12S.732 April 1 and 171,(W a
year ago, but the reduction of 343,553
tons lit tinstild stocks Indicate 'hat a
quantity nearly doubt* the output has
been taken fur consumption if there
were orders to continue manufacture
at that rate resumption of over two-
thirds of tna full capacity ot the works
would not be lo.ig delayed, but the
Eastern demand Is on tha whole dlaap-
getntiSSJjr css!! snd.-ir. rite - centre! re.
■ton >h" termination of the coke strike
issentlnl, bat not yet assured. At
the Waal a large demand anti greater
activity appears and a heavy business
Is likely to follbw the removal of the
obstruction. The woolen mills are clos
ing rapidly. It Is asserted, that scarce
ly any hsva orders to occupy them be
yond July 1 In men's year, but the de
mand for dress goods la sbme better.
Further concessions have not enlarged
the demand for cotton and the recent
report that the production lias been
close to hut year In said lb be based
on returns from only the more furtu-
nate mill*.
Thai goods are accumulating, Is evi
dent, but sales have been distinctly Im
proved with th* weather. Export* of
domestic products In Mar showed de
crease In all the principal classes, ex
cepting provisions, the aggregate being
337,333,712 against 3ii.3ll.M3 1 last year,
but more than 33.000.000 of th* decrease
In value la found to be due to the fall
In price*. Exports from New York for
two week* of June have been 7 per
cent, larger In value than laat year,
while Imports at this point have been
13 -per cent, smaller.
■Comparison of exchange* with last
year alone are no longer instructive,
but the dally payments through the
principal clearing house* for the first
have of June have avenged 3133.3M.ooc
against 3103.700.000 last year, and 3171,-
100,000 for 1131. Owing to the fall In
prlcea about thla time last year, com-
partUvely little of the difference In the
value of payments can now be attribu
ted -te the Aiff**»aew in prlcea of com
modities. but It cannot be Judged how
much may be on acooun. of the atrikea
and their consequence*. OoM export*
diminished to 32.250.000 for the week
and tale* of foreign exchange to ma
ture about the end of July indicate
some borrowing from Europe against
product* to be exported. A Uttl# more
commercial paper from Jobber* Is also
found by the banka, but th* flood of
money from the Interior ha* not caesed
though the time for movement of crop*
draw* near.

course has been manly ami the people
of Alabama, as well as Georgia, will
not only endorse your paper as an ex

every other way. If the people of

would go for Atkinson twenty to one

chased by the Ecklngton Street Rail
way Company, and the New* stated
that the transfer from Richardson to
the agent of the railroad company hid
preceded the presentation of n report
to the house by Richardson from the

situation, the News asserted, war
ranted an Inrentlgatlon. Inasmuch as
all Ihe proceedings were part of n

that he had purchased an Interest In
the property In lS'.tl and l'-lri for the
purpose of speculation, but th,' rise In
value had not met his expectation, and
in March Inst he placed the property
la the bands of real .-date agents,

ther reference to him (Richardson) ex
cept to account for the proceeds, which
barely r.-eotiped his Investment. His
statements .were supported by letter*
and comments, which Mr. Richardson
read. At tin* close .if Mr. Richardson's
remarks, the members who bad lis
tened lo hliu throughout with el-.se
attention, evinced lhetr appreciation
by applause, which camo fr,'iit both
