BUSINESS OUTLOOK
As Reported for Past Week by Hun
Sc Co.
R. G. Dun & Go’s weekly review of
trade says: Late advices from the West
promise rather better crops of wheat and
corn, and the cotton prospects are a lit¬
tle better, though Done of the yields will
approach that of last year. With abun¬
dant supplies brought over, the outlook
is so good that business distinctly im¬
proves and the prospect for the fall trade
is everywhere considered bright.
EFFECT OF THE STRIKES.
The great strikes in New York, Penn¬
sylvania and Tennessee appear to have
scarcely an appreciable eff ci upon bus¬
iness traffic as yet, and though an interruption
of is threatened on ma’iy import¬
ant railroads stocks are generally steady
or strong, closing but small fractions
lower than a week ago.
In cotton a further decline of a six
teeih has occured and the sales have been
598,000 bales, the actual movement at
this sens >n being insignificant, while the
crop prosp"Ct with heavy stocks on hand
tend, to depress prices. Last week the
quantity which came into sight for the
crop year rose above nine million bales,
and stocks of American here and abroad
are over 2,300,000 bales.
Orders for dress goods from the West
are large, and cotton jobbers have no
difficulty in selling the whole produc
tion, tiigher prices for bleached goods
being expected. The print cloth trade
is enormous, the contracts in two weeks
covering a million pieces and the pro
duction for August and September being
sold.
TRADE NOTES.
The boot and shoe shops are pressed by
jobbers and the trade is healthy, though
pr fits are small. Wool is fairly active
and firm and the outlook rosy. Iron is
8tead : er at Philadelphia and the finished
products improving, the trade in hard¬
ware being fair and exceediug last year’s.
At Baltimore receipts of fruit and vege¬
tables are not equal to the demands of
packers and manufacturers of clothing
are busy. The iron mills at Pittsburg
will also resume, but the present ship¬
ments of coke are the smallest for some
time, and business in window glass is not
active.
Improvement is also seen with brighter
prospects at Little Rock and Nashville,
and while trade is quiet at New Orleans
sugar is stiong and active, but receipts of
rice are light, the crop having been dam¬
aged by rains. The sales of wool at the
three largest markets s nee the middle of
May have been 91,000,000 pounds against
70,500,000 last year. The production of
boots and shoes is now estimated at 165,
000,000 pairs, and the Eastern shipments
last week were 6,000 cases more than a
week ago.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during last week number for
the United States 173.

AT COAL CREEK.
Latest News from the Tennessee Mining
Regions.
Tuesday was the quietest day Coal
Creek has h .d in many weeks. The sol¬
diers are still scouring the woods, fetch¬
ing in anv hapless woodcutter, coaldig
ger or farmer who may fall in their way.
But the sight of a .‘quad of soldiers sur¬
rounding a half-dozen men has ceased to
be interesting in this section of the
state. A new scheme, however, for
finding the missing miners has been
instituted by the soldiers. Squads
now go to the deserted mines
and build big fires in the entrance
then the soldiers will make themselves
easy and wait until the biding miner is
smoked out. Quite a number of men
have been smoked out and the soldiers
will Dot pass a mine without suspecting
that some of their old foes are secured in
it. Many of the arrests being made are
working hardships on innocent people,
but that is a part of the disadvantage of
military law and cannot be helped. Gen¬
eral Carnes, however, issiftmg the great
mass as rapidly as possible and scores are
returning to their homes on parole every
day.
The soldiers are not enjoymg the situ
atiou much, and some of the boys are
mighty anxious for furloughs; but these
General Carnes refuses to give. They
are subsisting at present on regular sol
diers’ diet, while many of the miners are
throwing that aside for the best the coun¬
try c an ‘Upply. Baskets filled with the
luxuries of their homes are brought to
the prisoners every day.

’Squire Kincaid and ’Squire Wilson will
organize a court at once and trial of the
men will begin. There are now over two
hundred men confined in a small church
awaiting trial, and the evidence against
some of them is very strong. As fast as
they are committed the prisoners will be
sent to Knoxville and Nashville and jail -
ed. Lindsay’s trial will not begin for
several days. He is confined in the
church and is beginning to grow restless.
UNDER MILITARY RULE.
The people of Coal Creek are not taking
kindly to some of the military ways.
Some of the boys have a disposition to be
tyrannical and ugly. Homes are invaded
and searched at will. General Carnes,
however, calls the boys down when he
discovers any violation of military laws
IRON HALL RECEIVER
Appointed at Indianapolis—Bond Fixed
at $1,000,000.
At Indianapolis Tuesday, the court
appointed James the F. Failey, of that c ; ty,
receiver of Order of the Iron Hall,
fixin S bis bond at $1,000,000. Supreme
Cashier Davis testified that he notified
the officials of the order six months ago
that unless somebody inaugurated a re
I° rm in the management of the affairs of
the order it would surely fall into the
hands of a receiver. He also i-tated that
at the ldHt T etin £ °J the supreme sitting,
, he charged u Somerby 0 with irregularities
and mhuaauagement.
In Baltimore Judge Dennis appointed
James J. Wiener and James C. France
receivers of the order. They will ad¬
minister $135,000 of funds still remain¬
ing in Maryland. The officials of the
order gave consent to their appointment.
In St. Louis, 1,500 local members of
the Iron Hall adopted resolutions endors¬
ing the paying of all assessments and to
support Chief Justice Somerby. The
sensation of the meeting was a speech of
Deputy Supreme Chief Justice Badger.
He charged Supreme Cashier Davis and
Supreme Accountant Walker with en
deavoring to wreck the order. He charged
Davis with instigating numerous suits
and said further that in the matter of
sending monev to aid in the now wrecked
Philadelphia bank. Somerby’s opposi
tion to the plan was strong and that Da
vis overruled him.
AT LAURENS.
The Snnth Carolina Campaign Closes
and the Candidates Still Live.
Ihe South Carolina campaign closed at
Laurens Saturday. Contrary to expecta¬
tions, all the candidates still live, though
many of their friends bear wounds as the
result of the meeting. The feeling was
intense, and the crowd of two thousand
was in fighting humor. When Tillman
took the stand, after several speeches had
been made, a riot wns immediately pre¬
cipitated between several scores of the
two factions. Sticks and clubs were
hurled through the air with great force,
and for ten minutes the fighting was
vicious and vigorous. Pistols were drawn
by outsiders, but the actual participants
the fight contented themselves with
the use of fists and clubs.
The speakers witnessed the fight from
the stand with much interest. When the
rioters stopped fighting from actual ex¬
haustion, the meeting proceeded. But
the speeches were temperate. Governor
Tillman made no reply to the denuncia¬
tions Colonel Youmans had heaped upon
him at Newberry, anjl Colonel Youmans,
at the request of cit zens desirous of
avoiding any more bloodshed, did not
speak a' all. Threats had been made
that if Youmans spoke he would be shot
down, and eoolor heads thought it best
to advise him not to participate in the
j unt debate. As Tillman had not re
ferr d io him. Colonel Youmans decided
the e was nofhin ' for him to say.

tremely hot weather. Two hundred]
soldiers there were sunstruck. Eleven
