Hrlsltn Steamship Clematis Sail* From Shield* for Saranuah— Mat ter* of Intere*t From the Water Front. 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. Passenger* by Steamship*.

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. IVu. X. Williams.

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.

Jacksonville, Fla. 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.

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.

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.
