New York, April 26.—11. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Business continues very brisk for the season In tho face of some drawbacks, which at-tlmes might cause marked hesi tation. Chief of these is tho floods in many directions, which have interfered with railroad operations and interrupted the distribution of merchandise, and the weather nil over tho East has been ad verse to an increase of rail trade. Bank clearings, however, show that while spec ulation has been heavy, there must be ft well sustained volume of legitimate busi ness, for the gains ore 14.1 per cent, over 1900 and 18.9 over 1899 outbade of New York, and 103 per cent, over 1900 and 84 over 1899 at this city. Railroad earnings make similarly encouraging gains. Much unfavorable comment has appear ed regarding t lie advance in steel rails to S2B. Yet the change is tally in keeping with recent increases in prices of pig iron and billets. Nominal quotations for many products of iron and steel have long been disregarded in calling for early delivery, and list prices are generally moving tip to a representative level. On new busi ness or export orders, it is not unreasona ble to make prices for rails on a parity with other products of this industry. After a prolonged |>cricxi of waiting for definite crop news the cereal markets suddenly awoke to unusual activity. Much of the increased trading and sharp ad vance in prices resulted from clever manipulation by a single Western specu lator, who compelled tho short contin gent to cover May corn contracts at tile highest prices of tlie season. Cotton responds slowly to indications of damage on plantations for tho old erop comes into sight freely, hisl heavy losses in British exports of goods and yarns do not promise a vigorous for eign demand for raw muterlui.

Given Twenty I'rnr*’ Sentence at Statesboro—Other New*. Statesboro, Ga.. April 26.—The criminal docket in the Superior Court was finished up yesterday. Allen Crosby, charged with tha killing of Alex King, a negro, was found not guilty, ile plead guilty to a charge of pointing a pistol at a young boy. and was sentenced to the chain gang for nine months. Hollis Middleton, a ne gro barber in the white barber shop here, was convicted of gambling on Sunday and fined J 75 and cost of court. The young Brannen boy, who has been on the gang before, was convicted of carrying con cealed weapons, and was sentenced to the chain-gang. J. D. Lanier plead guilty to selling liquor, and was fined S2OO and coat of court, which ran up to some thing over $250. The case that attracted the most at tention was that of George Park for as sault with intent to rape. He entered a plea of guilty. Col. H. B. Strange was employed to defend him. The state made out such a strong case that when the time came for the defense to take the stand, Park and his father were taken out for consultation by their attorney. While they were out the Jury asked to be excused, and wiien they returned they found nothing for them to do. The attor ney end his client had returned and en tered a plea of guilty. Judge Evans told the prisoner to stand up, and said to him that he might congratulate himself that the |e-opie of Bulloch county were law abiding citizens, that the case appeared to be a most aggravated one, and that hi' would have to give him thf extent of the law*, which is 20 years in the peniten tiary at hard labor. Ho received the sentence without emo tion while his father almost broke down. While some folks uphold Mr. McEllveen for his bringing tire man to court and allowing him the benefit of the law, many others say that in a similar case with them the negro would never have seen the court ground. The criminal docket being dropped, the most Hyigthy case in the civil proceedings is.yiai of J. D. Overstreet & Cos. against Lester'n & Ellison and John T. Brannen for damageS in the cutitng of certain saw frflft tlVfcbCr. It has consumed the day, dV'rfearly so, afidTlas not yet gone to the Jury. Mr. Overstreet is a prominent saw mill man from Summit in Emanuel coun ty, and Mr. P. R. Lester is from Burke county, but lately moved to Silver Springs, Fla., where he has put In a plant In part nership with Air. R. G. Daniel of Alillen, of immense capacity. There are all here to-day looking after their interests. The grand Jury was expected to adjourn to-day at noon, but new business came up and will not get through before to-mor row. A large number of bills have been returned and their recommendations are expected to be lengthy and spicy. Col. Mitchell of Atlanta is here in the interest of u cotton mill for Statesboro. He has been exceedingly successful in lo cating mills in Middle Georgia and Car olina, taking in the special territory of the Georgia Railroad. He is now working the Central of Georgia. He says that the people of this county have the greatest bonanza lie has seen yet. Ho has the promise that if he can get a mill located here that will use thts long staple cotton, a silk mill will be put In here that will probably use some of tlhs staple in the manufacture of the lower grades of silk. He is informed that the silk worms would thrive in this climate and that the plan is perfectly feasible, and he is meeting with milch success. A cotton ltrtli com pany was pretty nearly organized here once, and the people are anxious for one to be established and are willing to put their money into the enterprise.
