IRON AND STEEL ACTIVE Foreign Demand for American Cereals Improved as Shown in Enlarged Volume of Shipments. New York. September 23.— Bradstreet s to morrow will say: •‘Favorable trade developments manifest themselvis chiefly along the lines previ ously not'd. Tli'' importance of a large exoort demand to the country’s domestic interests is illustrated by the improved tone and prices of wheat and Hour this Week, grow.ng out of the better foreign buying induced by h ss favorable Russian < rep : eports, smaller shipments from that country and apparently continued careful selling by American producers. "Raw cotton, on Kic other hand, reflects probabilities of continued plentiful supplies, and rather slow demand in quotations, lower than the lowest point reached in the year of depression -1894—When a large yield was coincident with poor trade, industrial troubh s and tight money . From tho west and northwest advices continue largely in the normal strain. Some relaxation in ac tivity is perceptible in some lines at large markets, but (he volume of trade as a whole is evidently equal to any previous record. “At tile south low-priced cotton and yel low fever quarantines affect trade adverse ly, improvement in one section being coun ter-baianced by less favorable advices from other-'.

FOUR YEARS’ COTTON HISTORY. Fiesent Low Price Appears To Threat en a Still Lower Range. New York. September 23. The Tribune to day publishes .1 rev.ew of th," history of cotton for the past four years, and says: “A price for cotton nearly a eent lower than ever before during September appears to threaten a lower range than has yet been r< tched. at least until prospects for the next year are so delined that a sharp reduction in yield can lie expected. It w :s rec, ntly shown that if there was ac tual consumption of over 10.00'1.0c0 bales of American cotton for the first tint" during the last year It lhas only been by so ex ceeding the demand for goods t’hat import ant works in this country have already stct'i'ed in considerable number. ' The market for goods, all countries con sidered, his not yet warranted such a consumption in the manufaeture, although it has expanded with really’ remarkable Sliced The consuming populatlil of the world increases slowly, if it all. .mil yet it is not twenty years since as much as 6,010,000 bales of all kinds of eolton had ever been consumed in manufaeture in ‘itty year. An increase from 5.x00.060 to Tt,sou,Out) bales in twenty years over Ml p- r cent - vastly outruns any possible increase jn the consuming population: and, since ten years ago when 8,131.'KM) bales of all kinds of cut ton were consumed, men Ute greatest quan tity ever k'.owti, til,' consumption lias ad van ■ d 2 71.a . er 31 per e. nt .

The surplus of goods earri d by manufacturers and dealers, lias evident ly increased, but tile consumption Has in creased also, and no one e.in witll safety I’t'i dl' t that ! t may not increase yet more. No duitl ' the cia. a pin ss of gods help ( -.| bolt' by the reduction in cost of manufae tute and by the low price of cotton, jn pa it dit " to cheap 1 ransporta’ion, has mad" a ditferince in the quantity consum'd, and with another year of cheap material and c.n:t::nt improvement in machinery and nuebods of work furt’her Jnercasi. in < on semption is not improbable. The main ditlbulty at this time is that th' iated stocks of goods on hand and also tin* stock of cotton yet unmanufactured are unusually large, with a. crop which threat ens to exee'd tile world's consuming ca pacity, not merely of American, but of ail cotton.” Weekly Weather Report.

California seedling oranges are selling V'H at quotation prices. California fruit l coming in plentifully, and is being readily sold at quotation prices. Tills market can use at least one third more of litis class of fruit than ever before during (he same period of time.

SARGE PLUNKETT. Another Chapter on tbo "Work Day" for tha Orphanage. A STORY FOR THE CHILDREN The Importance of Small Things in the Matters of Life. For The Constitution. Next Saturday is tlie “work day” for the orphanage at Decatur, and as the daj’ draws nigh it causes talk. “Little droivs of water makes the ocean,” suggested a little one, in this connection. "And grains of sand makes tlie earth,” add’d another- "And big trees from little acorns,” said a smaller one still. This put us 'H iu a trend of thought which led to tlie discussion of small mat ters and things, and to their results, eith er for good or for evil. Naturally tills got Brown to discoursing upon his fa vorite hobby "The price of a drink.” he said, more to himself than his company. "A small matter—very small." he went on in his tlr-atnv way, without seeming to speak to any one in particular. “And yet,” seeming to arouse himself from hl.s dreamy condition, "and yet, if all Hie drinkers of Georgia would unite in denying themselves of just one. drink lust one—on next Saturday, and turn the price into a fund for this "work day, ’ what a sum it would be for the orphan age—lt would mean thousands. It would put a hundred thousand children at work on that day. "Why md apply the same to any other article'of common use.’’ I suggested, for 1 am sick and tired of hearing all the evils of the land placed at the door of whisky, and 1 knew that there was where my old frlcnil would land. “Well,” ho said slowly, “the price of ono drink Is such a small matter that it natu rally oc. urrc’l to me, and then. iIS 1 studied upon it I was almost dumb founded at the amount It would make it all drinkers would derrv themselves ju-‘" one drink and devote it as suggested II could apply to many other things Just as well.” My old friend spoke these words so slow ly and solemnly that I saw he wa.-; getting the sympathy of the crowd and 1 hav" discovered that I must .hustle mysif, or 1 won’t be in it in the matter of popularity. 1 turned to the children, r marking: "I could tell you a little story on the price of a drink that, when,! bad finished, 1 will Is' bound you would never agree liiat it was such a small mattei. "The story, the story.’ said tie chil dren, and Brown looked grum, for he knew he was gone. I began: "Under the trees in thO-forA of the roads used to stand a < omfo.’table bouse with ■ill th" usual outhouses of a country home. 1 know there Is nothing there now, not even a sign, save a bulge In the ground where the chimneys used to stand,and the mound grown over with gr:: >s right at tlie fork where the forge of the black smith us"d to be. for my story Is of a blat ksmltli. His shop was here, bls chil dren plaved under these great trees, his houses stood a little back and there he had as good a woman for a Wife as ever was known. He had been a drinker once a h trd drinker -but he had quit, hws home had grown prosperous, his wit" had grown cht • rful ’lid two as sweet children a-, you ever saw blessed ids life and give him a promise for th<‘ future. “’Little Tom' was the boy. and so good he was that he became the pet of all the people who came and went about tlie shop. "While this boy was quite small, yet lie was not small but what he could re member well the drinking sprees his fath er used to have and of the misery and poverty Is brought, his home. "J’-issing hastily to arrive at t’he story, H Is sufficient to say that Little Tom was always along whenever his father went into the village. He was along on this occasion, and sit by his father as ho pulled the lines over as good a team as there was about. They had been to the village, and were well on their way back home when, to the honor of Tom, his father pulled the horses to the right and reined up in front i.f a ’doggery',’ then common la many suctions. " T’apa. please don’t stop here,’ pleaded little Tom pitifully; but before he had time for an answer his father had dropped the lines into his li.tnds and at one bound landed on the ground, remarking: " ’Hol l just a minut'- -ju: : a minute,' and Into tlie doggery lie stepped. "Tlie blacksmith was a ,i"v:al, good-heart ed fellow, and asked those inside to take a drink with him. “‘Just one drink, 1 ■■>> u.’ ho said, 'an 1 quick about it. for little Tom is holding the L am outside and they're a little wild • one drink, ,j’i-t one, and qtn. k about it!’ "It wa.s a matter of a short time for the crowd t" fill their glasses, but Just as they had drank, a drunk i fellow stag gered up from a corner and insisted that he h id been insult' d by not. being invited to drink. He would take no excuse, and quicker than I cntild tell it there was a general row in the doggery, a man lay de.i l upon the floor, a pistol had been fired, the horst > outsidt had ra n a yand Hi - tie Tom lay dia l among the rubbish of a wagon by a tree up the road! "They buried poor little Tom, but the story does not end there—l wish It did. Th" coroner's jury placed the killing at the doggery upon the blacksmith, and called it murder. I have m> desire to go through all the details. Suffice it to say that the i>l:'.ek.smith was found guilty, with a re'ommendation to mercy, and went to tlie coal mines for twenty years. "Tlie st'.ry doos not end here -I wish it did. Tlie expenses of the trial stripped the blacksmith's home of everything and left the poor mother and daughter in destitute circumstances, and they had to go out Into the world t” procure a living. "The story does not end here—l wish it did. The poor mother grew weaker and weaker until at last she died; and here 1 might end tlie story, but- ” "What became of the little girl?” asked all the children, anxiously. “Sl’ie was taken into an orphans’ homo •—1 don't know as It was this one here at Decatur, but when I told this story some years ago 1 heard of her. and she had been cared for and had grown to boa sweet mother and a good wife somewhere in North Carolina. "But tlie story docs not end bore. I-ong years after the Incidents relited, me and mv wife and Brown and his wife, were silting on the porch at home, and u<* s.i’i a poor tottering man approaching the gate and lie looked at us as if there was some thing lie would like very much to know The women thought it was some crazy tramp, but me and Brown went down to where he was, and law and behold! there before us was - "The blacksmith! "He look' d at us in dazed kind of way and then turned and wabbled away, mut tering as he went: " 'Tile price of a drink—the price of a drink!’ ” Great results come from very’ small causes, sometimes. J do hope that even reader of these letters will do something for the orphanage at Decatur on next Sat urday—do something, no matter how lit tle. There ought to Lie a hundred thou sand children anxious to work upon that day. See that tiiey are employed. A dime or a quarter from one does not amount to much, but a hundred thousand dimes is a. large sum. and in this cause may- affect precious souls on earth and down through all eternity.

Felled a Large Tree and Cut It Up Into Stovewood. The good and the bad are strangely i mixed in this sublunary world. But. the ! good is more than the bad. Indeed, the scriptures tell us that, all things work, to gether for good to those w'ho love God. Certain it is that our little girl has passed I the crisis safely and is now slowly but , surely recov/ring from that long protracted I fever. There is more good in this than ‘ there is bad in all our little troubles. It , rains every day and all we can do 1< t<> I sympathize witti our neighbors und friends j who have lost fodder and pea-vino ha“. , and can as. lire tlie farmers that it will stand more rain than any other Ijjiy H th*’ windrows are opened and aired as often as . the sun shines. It will lose its color, but ; stock will eat it greedily when it does get j ii ry. , ' Our old cook is down sick and W’ can’t get a substitute, for tlhe darkies—women and children—are all in the cotton fields taking their chances betAVeen sunshine and showers. So we are running the machin ery of kitchen and chamber in a very eco- , nomical way. Broad and butter and toijt and broiled steak and fried eggs and coff.-o ■ and milk are good enough for anybody. I and wo are getting along splendid. I | make the lires and bring in the wood and ( help to was'h the dishes. V\e are all fond . of chicken, but not fond enough to kdl , tlhern and prepare them for the oven. A large old oak in tut grove has been dying for two or three years, and so I hired a man to cut it down and saw it up for tiw stove. He couldn’t find a helper, and so 1 had to hitch myself on to one, end of the crosscut. I used to do that in a lively | manner when on my farm getting ou’ • boards, and I haven’t altogether lost t'ho lick, though 1 have lost a part of the con- j tinuance. By and by I concluded to :th ’>» | what a man could cl , and " I took oi handle of the saw and ran it alone. Yes. ] it is a fact that 1 cut off four blocks all : solitary and alone by myself with nobody I lo help ui'-. 1 can prove it, if ; ' for our f' male neighbors across th'- str' •’ reconnoitered and watched me and smiled | swi' tly, and tlie pa-sing people drove slow to see me break down, and old Judge . Wikle, who always steps exactly three feet Sh irtened up and sat down 1 and’ camp’ d on H‘° sidew .Ik I and wondered and waited for me to sur- , render, and our f.imilj' do. tor hailed w I to quit and go homy. When I was about i used up my wife she • amu and ordered me to stop it at once, and 1 stopped. These | peoplo around here never : aw an cud man | run a cross-cut all by himself and they j Hover will again, 1 reckon. But ther. s ; life in the old man yet. All t ils time mj’ i man Webb wa.s chopping and splitting up , the blocks, and so in course of time we j got it all sawed up and split up into Slav" . wood ami it made eight good wagon 1" ids. , The tree was two and a half feet in diam- : et r for forty feet up, and right wliere . Ilm limbs ail branched out was a hollow , about two fe/'t deep and out of that hollow two ’possums were thrown when the tree . amo crashing down. Webb had cut down tho tree and Webb saw the pi.-sums list and caugiit them. z\s ho was putting their 1 tails m th" split of a limb says I. are you going to do with them?” "Take 'em home,” says !>•■. W 11, I didn’t want ti”. animals, but 1 got to ruminating about ■ tlie law of ‘Ferae naturae" that 1 studied In Jtlackst'/ne, and so to teas.) him 1 said: "Why, Webb, those are my 'possums; they arc on mv land and in my tr. e and must . Im my ’possums." "Why, boss," said be. "how’s dat? 1 goes ’possum ciuntln’ or rabbit huntin' and it don't make auv 'lii ferenee where I catch ’em, • ain’t dey, onless de lan' is posted. Aal Boss, your lan’ wasn’t 1 <t. i: got a fence round it.” V\ ’■’ la ig ed like lie was sure be had me. ' l.u; here, ’ said 1. "1 didn't hire yon t” hunt ■ e day to cut wood and ail your time is mine and your ; labor is mine, and according to the law j the 'possums ar.- mine. ' W ebb wasn't sat- ■ istied and finally proposed to divide tiio , spoils, .mt I gave up my claim. I h.'X.j since submitted tile que.sticn to learned ; members of our bar and find that tfe-y : differ. Now, 1 woul i like lo know how those 'possums found tit it hollow tree ■ right in-re In th" heart of Hie town. What I instinct told them titer.- was a cioilow tn . tlie top of that tree? But I am not run- j it.ng a 'po.-suin ranch, for ev- r since licit 'possum supper at Newnan 1 haveibt taken ■ much stock in 'possum in.-'it or possum 1 polities. Neither lias Colonel Cand/cr.
