Of late. It is stated, the Czar’s mind has become very much weakened and he has shown himself incapable of performing the smallest duties, at times being unable to sign even his name. The Mirror also announces that a marriage has been arranged between Grand Michael and the Princess Vic toria. of Schleswig Helstoln, niece of King Edward.

Ga., April 7.—In the week Just ended, -he local market for yellow pine and short leaf pine lumber developed an unmistakable improvement. The vol ume of inquiries was really flittering, and the trade was a unit In declaring that tho demand was much better than has been the case In months. It is the consensus of opinion that this is the belated spring demand which has been expected so long. Both In the yellow pine and short leaf pine market, there was a marked stiffen ing tendency, and while an advance at this stage of the game is. of course.rather out of the question. It Is rather a safe proposition to say that the advance will develop when the full, heavy spring re quirements aro placed among the mill fraternity. At the annual meeting of the Savannah Board of Trade, which was held on April 3. tiic lumber committee of that body submitted a report on the movement of lumber through the port which proved that the total business accomplished in the fiscal year was heavier than any pre vious year by a heavy margin. The lack of demand, in the past few months, it was pointed out, caused general slackness for a time, but as a whole the lumber men made a good margin of profits in tho year. The interests of Savannah are advocat ing the issurance of certificates to in spectors of this, and neighboring ports, believing that in this manner many old scores and complaints can be obviated. This matter was touched on some time ago by the writer, though at that time the trade'seemed to be more properly caring for this feature in a minor way. A special meeting of the lumber com mittee of the board of trade was held yes terday. In order that the lumbermen might confer with Mr. B. L. Bugg, of the Central of Georgia railway, in' regard to a circular on demurrage which had been Issued by the road.
