When (he marked falling off In the ship
ments of lumber from this port will Im
prove seems to be a doubtful matter
among shipping men and lumber export
ers. For the past month or more the
curtailed demand from Northern markets
has had a depressing effect throughout the
South, with the result that exports have
decreased very materially. Not only Is
this felt locally, but It also hurts the saw
mills and laborers In the interior, who
are dependent largely on what Is being
done in this port.
• The fact is that the unexpected move
ment of prices of lumber this season has
come,'* said a prominent exporter.
"This has led big buyers in the North to
lose in acting on suppositions as to what
the market might do. The advance in
prices early in the season was too much
for many large holders of lumber, and
they unloaded at the advance. Meantime
the market took another little turn up.
Buyers then decided to lay in good stocks
at the advanced prices, believing the mar
ket would go still higher, and then again
unload at a profit. Instead of going high
er. however, prices dropped about this
time, leaving buyers ‘with the bag to
hold.’ 'lt will therefore be seen that all
interests identified with the production of
Southern pine lumber profiled by the
transaction.”
Exporters hope for something better
than at present appears to be in store for
the future. They are all prepared to fur
nish lumber in large quantities, and ship
it promptly, either by sail or steam ves
sels, when the demand Improves.
Excursion* by Santee and Clifton.
The steamer Santee made a delightful
trip to Warsaw yesterday, carrying a
large number of pleasure-seekers. The
steamer left the city at 9:30 o'clock tinder
command of Capt. Haddon, and made the
run to Thunderbolt in good time, caking
on many additional passengers there
bound for Warsaw and Wilmington, the
event at the latter being a church dedi
cation. With the stops it was necessary
to make going and coming the steamer
gained this lost time by moving sprightly
when under steam.
By careful management those in charge
of the excursions to Warsaw have suc
ceeded in eliminating most all former ob
jections to a trip there. Passengers are
practically assured of reaching their des
tinations in reasonable time. The. sched
ule was made yesterday in every instance.
Returning, the steamer reached Wilming
ton, Thunderbolt and the city on time.
The fact that a boat has been put on the
line that relieves the fatigue of the trip
has added greatly to the popularity of
the fine. Then, too, the management has
a siring band aboard, and also a conveni
ent arrangement for serving refreshments.
Mr. W. T. Gibson, associate manager
of Ihe Santee, stated yesterday that it
may be even better arrangements will be
made next season to handle the travel to
Warsaw. The steamer's commodious deck
room will admit of the presentation of
some sort of entertainment en route,
which It is thought would be an attrac
tive featune in connection with the trip.
The other river excursion yesterday was
run by the steemer Clifton of the Beau
fort and Savannah line. She went with a
crowd "around the horn," giving the ex
cursionists the benefit of a little sea ride.
Among the vessels bound for Savannah
as given In the Morning News to-day ap
pears the Belgian steamship Clematis,
which is reported soiled for Savannah
from Shields, July 24. This vessel be
longs to the Antwerp Naval Stores Com
pany of Antwerp. For some time past it
has been currently reported In shipping
circles that the Clematis would reach Sa
vannah sometime during August, but this
has been denied by the agency of the Ant
werp Naval Stores Company. The report
of the vessel's departure from Shields has
appeared In several newspapers.
The tug Abram Minis will clear to-day
and sail for Key West. During her stay
in port arrangements have been made for
sea duty, and she will go to work equipped
in every way for service.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Markets Generally Qnlet Cotton
Doll Stocka Irregular Wheat
lower.
There was not much of Interest In the
cotton market, and fluctuations were nar
rower than usual of late. Cloeing quo
tations ore a few points lower for both
old and new crop months, August, 9.24 c;
October, 8.34 c.
Crop account® continue to improve,
recent weather having been very favorable
in practically all sections. It Is now al
most assured that the August bureau re
port will show a material advance in
condition, perhaps nearly up to last
year. It will be remembered that pros
pects were quite favorable last year ud
to August, crop gueescs then running up
to 10,500,000 to 11,000,000 bales. Of course,
later deterioration may come this year
Just as It did last year, and sonic think
the present crop is even more Ruscepti
bie to harmful influences; but un
doubtedly the outlook now Is daily
improving. Should no change for the
worse occur during the next ten days or
two weeks, new crop deliveries will be
offered with much tnore freedom with low
er prices as a natural consequence. Mean
time the statistical strength remains un
broken and the manipulation of Liverpool
and New Orleans Is tlll the leading bull
ish factor. Spot sales are very small,
and tend In a measure to show that the
world can get on with very much less cot
ton at 10c than at 6c.
Stocks quiet, with activity In a few spe
cialties, such as Sugar, Brooklyn and To
bacco. Sugar declined a little, but the two
others ore higher. Tennessee Coal and
Iron rose above 75, but lost most of the
gain. The general list is more or less low
er. Advices are more bullish, and the
wiseacres are prognosticating all sorts of
advices, particularly In Sugar and Brook
lyn. In truth, the general situation now
encourages purchases on weak spots.
Speculation In grain and provisions was
moderate, but wheat declined 3c. Oth< r
changes ware unimportant. The short side
ua Aim apota now appears preferable.

BANKER CLEWS’ VIEWS.
The FTnnnrlal Outlook As Seen From
Wall Street.
New York, July 28.—There Is nothing
discouraging in the situation in this coun
try. We are better off In all respects than
any other nation on earth. We have more
gold, greater prosperity, lower rates of
Interest for money, a higher government
credit and vastly bigger crops for this
year's yield than any other country has.
The treasury’s exhibit of our foreign trade
for the last fiscal year should act as an
antidote to pessimism, which la Indeed a
disease. In view of all this array of favor
able conditions. The situation In China la
still so clouded as to defy analysis.
The speculative situation Is controlled by
conflicting elements. There l a wrong
undertone to the market, and manipulation
succeeded In lifting a few atocks to a
higher level last week; hut neither Ihe
public nor Investment buying responded
to the stimulus, and the early half 0/
the week witnessed fresh realizations,
which were perceptibly stimulated by Mr.
Keene's bearish statements. Under ordi
nary condition* much Imporlau&e could be

attached to Mr. Keene’s utterances, but
we regret that hts present state of health
is such that he may easily be tempted Into
taking unduly pessimistic views.
Much, of course, depends upon the crop
outlook. In spite of Injuries here and
there the prospeefs are decidedly encour
aging. not merely because of sufficient
yields of wheat, corn and cotton, but be
cause of what is equally important, the
promise of profitable returns to farmers.
The latter are certainly enjoying a period
of prosperity; so, too, are the industrial
classes, for labor is everywhere well em
ployed end wages are often higher than
a year or two ago. So long as these con
ditions continue, there will be no anxiety
about the future. Excessively high prices
for manufactured products and overpro
duction resulting from the rush of orders
a year ago are working out their own
cure. That was a buyers’ panic. From
now on buyers will be more cautious,
and ere long more normal relations will
be established between supply and de
mand; if. Indeed, the readjustment pro
cess is not already near Its completion.
Money continues easy’, but, later on, os
crop and trade demands develop, higher
rates can be anticipated. Fortunately the
treasury will not be a disturbing ele
ment In the money market, thanks to Sec
retary Gage’s able administration. Eu
rope may be obliged to draw upon us for
gold if the Chinese complications pro
voke any serloim outbreak; but as tlma
goes on and evidences multiply that the
Powers are working harmoniously, the
prospects of serious disturbances diminish.

Four short stories, the beginning of one
serial, and the concluding chapters of an
other give the August Ladles' Home Jour
nal claim to the title of "Midsummer
Story Number.” There are besides up
ward of thirty other features: "College
Girls’ Larks and Pranks,” “The Haunted
Houses of New England,” “My Summer
With Some Chipmunks,” “A Missionary In
the Great West,” by Rev. Cyrus Town
send Brady, “How a Girl Can Work Her
Way Through College,” “Conversation

The Midsummer Fiction Number of Mc-
Clure’s Magazine, with a cover by Louis
Loeb, suggesting by Its rich, warm col
oring the lassitude of the season, and
with a strong list of well known adepts In
the art of story telling, produces at once
a pleasing impression. To this number
Frank H. Spearman contributes the first
of anew series of railway stories, telling
of the exciting race of a train of Yellow
stone Park excursionists with a runaway
"freight.” Jack London, the young Cal
ifornian, has in this Issue a tale of the
perilous Journey of a Klondike miner and
his Indian wife to obtain relief for n
starving camp; this story is imaginative
in the highest degree, and possesses strik
ing local color and extraordinary pathetic*
force. Another strong story Is "A Bill
From Tiffany’*" by Josiah Flynt, the
well known explorer of tramp and crim
inal life, and Francis Walton. There are
many other good things in the number.

One Is reminded of Marryat’s romances
In reading In the August Bt. Nicholas
Reginald Gourlay'a story of "The Lucky
Lieutenant.” The difference between
Midshipman Easy or one of his fellows and
the Hon. John O’Brien, Is that the former
was fictitious and the latter real. Lesa
shocking In Its iexults was the overturn
ing by strikers of a railway car In which
the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, author of
"In Hlx Steps,” wax making “A Trip
With a Professional Rain-maker"—a story
"founded on fact.” which he lel! In this
number of St. Nicholas. The making of

With characteristic initiative, the edit
ors of Ainslee’s Magazine devote the Au
gust number to the younger writers of
American fiction. Those represented are
Stephen Crano, Harry Stillwell Edwards.
Brand Whitlock, John D. Barry and Eu
gene Wood. Stephen Crane’s "The Kick
ing Twelfth" i a battle story, and the
vivid picture of the bloody field wtileh he
has presented, must convince the reader
anew that American literature has cause
for regret in the untimely end of this
author. Harry Stillwell Edwards’ "The
Stirring Up of Billy Williams," is a de
lightfully humorous story of the South.
Brand Whitlock, whom we have known
only for his strong political stories, in
"The Old- House Across the Way,” offers
a most moving and tender tale, and John
D. Barry’s "At the Shrine of the Idol ■ is
1 finished product of literary art. A lyric
by Bliss Carman and a jolly ballad by
k Holman F. Day are Ihe most notable
verse contributions to the magazine

Truth for August contains a fully Illus
trated article on the work of Abbott
Graves, Boston's well-known painter of

of the Illustrations are reproduced In the
colors of the original canvases, and are
worthy of framing. Among other inter
< sting matter in this number Is an Illus
