TRADE REVIEW.
Dun & Co. Send Out an Encour¬
aging Report.
The following is R. G. Dun & Co.’s
review of trade for the week ending
tions. Sept. 4th: Business improves in all sec¬
At the south, partly because of
the injury of the cottou crop aud the
consequent advance in price. At the west
some injury to corn by frosts late in the
week is reported, the extent of which is
not yet known, and if it is a serious log*,
may affect trade to some extent, but at
the latest accounts business was active
and almost everywhere improving.
The wheat crop is out of danger aud
and is enormous, undoubtedly the largest
ever grown, and moving with unusual
rapidit y. The corn crop has been saved
and is very large in mo»t of the surplus
producing states, an d even within the
range of the recent frosts appears to
have been in port beyond injury. Cot
ton has been damaged seriously in some
states—an Alabama and corr Cspocdent thinks
30 per cent, New Orleans dispatches
represent 15 to 25 per cent in Louisiana
and Mississippi. Some allowance may
be made for the usual disposition
to exaggerate the effects of any mis¬
fortune. but the lo3s of some parts of
the entire crop would not reduce the
year’s supply below the world’s require¬
ments, while, by causing higher prices,
it might benefit producers and business
in the cotton growing states. The fact
is, that there is danger of serious over¬
production iu cotton, in spite of the
rapid increase in the world’s consumption.
I he monetary situation is also decidedly
clearer and more favorable.
Exports from New York in five weeks
exceeded last year’s nearly 31 per cent.,
and while imports also increased largely,
the balance of trade turns decidedly iu
favor of the United States. The injury
to cotton may also hasten the exports of
the product, which foreign operators,
knowing of the large stocks in Europe,
might not have bought so early hud ihe
American been full. Finally, ihe treas¬
ury is now disbursing many millions for
4£ per cent, bonds not extended, and the
announcement by ihe secretary that it is
now able to pay $25,000,000 cash for
these bonds, if desired, gives assurance
to liberal supplies of money.
BEPORTS FROM THE CITIES.
Reports from the various cities express
increased confidence, and show tome
actual gain in the volume of irade. At
all southern points higher cotton stimu¬
lates trade, and collections arc somewhat
better, and at New Orleans there is a
fair demand for sugar. At most south¬
ern points money is also easier, and at
New Orleans in ample supply for legiti¬
mate needs. At the west no complaints
of stringency are noted, though money is
firmer at Chicago.
The great industriis are doing well,
though strikes of importance are threat¬
ened in the cotton mills at Fall River
and window-glass works at the wist.
A distinct improvement is seen in the
demand for iron and its products, though
prices are unchanged, and also in coal,
while minor metals are firm.
THE DRY OOODS TRADE.
Sales of wool at Boston reached 4,317,
000 pounds, buyers for worsted aud
diess goods manufacturers beiug espe¬
cially active. Trade in dry goods is
fairly large, particular!y in all wool cassi
meres and dress goods. Cotton commis¬
sion merchants report trade fairly up to
last year’s, and some record a considera¬
ble increase.
Failures occurring throughout the
country during the past week number for
the United States 197; Canada, twenty.
Total, 217, against 226 last wetjk.
THE CROP INJURED.
The Recent Cold Snap Caused
the Sheding of Bolls.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat printed
special dispatches Sunday from all parts
of the cotton-belt, showing that cold
weather and worms in Texas and the
Mississippi valley states, and excessive
rains in the southeastern states, have
been disastrous to the cotton crop the
past week. Not a single encouraging
report comes from Mississippi, the cold,
dry weather having caused shedding all
over the state, and the appearance of
worms seem to be general. The loss is
placed all the way from fifteen to fifty
pel¬ cent. In Louisiana the situa¬
tion is not much better. Arkansas
reports are favorable in only
four plares. The d image by worms at
some points is estimated at fifty per cent.
The situation in middle aud southern Ala¬
bama is about the same. Excessive rains
in Georgia aud North Carolina have done
great damage to the staple, particularly
so in Georgia. Reports from the greater
portion of Alabama indicate a full corn
crop, but a cutting off of cotton of at
least twenty-five per cent. Rust has been
the destroying element.
CHARLESTON’S TRADE.
An Immense Increase in the
City’s Business.
A Charleston dispatch of Tuesday
says: The total business of the city for
the year just closed, shows a net increase
of $17,935,001 over the trade of 1889-90.
The total trade of the city for the year
1890-91, was $98,554,003. as compared
with $80,619,717 in 1880-90. Five years
ago the trade of Charleston amounted to
$50,948,552. It will be remembered that
five years ago on Monday night last the
very foundations of the city wero shaken,
and millious of dollars’ worth of property
was laid in ruins. But at the end of five
years of intelligent effort and conserva¬ has
tive business methods, Charleston re¬
moved every trace of the earthquake, and
shows a gain of $31,606,166 in its trade
and commerce.

Altalla, Ala., suffered a severe hiss by
five Thursday. The property destroyed
represented a value of over $100,909.
eral Passenger roads agents, belonging representing the Southern the sev¬

Tho leading planters and cotton men
in Memphis, Tenn., have received advi¬
ces which from all parts of the Memphis district,
warrants the statement that the
crop has been damaged on an average of
25 per cent, ss compared with last yea'r.
A dispatch of Friday from San An¬
tonia, Tex., says that the bandits who
robbed the Southern Pacific express
train at Samuels on Tuesday night se¬
cured more booty than first reports of
the robbery stated. Instead of $2,000,
as reported, they secured $15,000.
The Mississippi organized Valley Lumbermen’s
Association, was at Minneap¬
olis, Minn., Tuesday. The chief object
of the meeting was to raise the price of
lumber, and a report was unanimously
adopted which recommended an advance
of $1 per thousand, the Minneapolis list
to be used as a basis from this time
forth.
Sales of leaf tobacco in Danville, Va.,
market for the past eleven months
amount to 38,700,000 pounds, an in¬
crease over the sales for the same period
last year of 14,770,000 pounds. The to
cacco year closes October 1st, and sales
will foot up 40,000,000 pounds, the
largest sales ever made iQ a single year at
Danville.
A Nashville, Tenn., dispatch of Friday
says: It is rumored at Gallatin, Tenn.,
that .T. C. Rod' man has effected a trade
with Huntington, by which the Middle
and East Tennessee road may be com¬
pleted within sixty days. The road runs up
irom Gallatin to Hartsville, via Carthage
to the coal fields in the Cumberland
mountains. The road ha* already been
completed to within two miles of Ilnrts
ville.
A Chattanooga, Tenn; dispatch of Tues¬
day says: Of the nine-humired-thousand
dolLar fund being raised by popular sub¬
scription for a line of steamboats and
barg s between Chattanooga and 1st.
Louis, $95,000 is pledged, and the bal¬
ance will be raised immediately. The
B idgeport Land Company, of Bridge¬
port, Ala., has given $5,000, which will
not be accepied until the original amount
is made up by citizens of Chattanooga.
A Birmingham. Ala., dispatch says:
At a club meeting Friday, two letters,
written by Hector D. Lane to Commis¬
sioner Kolb, just after the burning of the
governor in effigy at Athens last winter,
will be made public. They denounce
the governor in the strongest terms, and
declare the writer’s sympathy with the
effitzy burning. As the governor has just
appointed Lane commissioner on his de¬
nial of sympathy with the burning, these
letters are rare and racy.
A dispatch of Friday from Florence,
Ala , statis that the effect of the cool
weather on the cotton crop is beginning
to be noticed now, and the prospect for
a good crop is more gloomy than at any
time during the year. The August crop
is shedding its iquares addition and young the bolls
rapidly, winch, in to rust
which has made its appearance duiing
the pa*t week, promises to be somewhat
disastrous to the crop. It is estimated
that the crop will be 20 per cent, less
than it was thought to be one week ago.
PEFFER SAYS NOT.
He Denies that Missouri is
Against the Sub-Treasury.
A Topeka dispatch of Tuesday says:
Senator Peffer, denies that the sub-treus
ury scheme was defeated by the Missouri
alliance and says: “The Missouri
Alliance has done the correct thing. The
sub-treasury scheme is a proposition for
the people to decide, and they will be
right. The sub-treasury advocates had
enough votes in the convention to have
carried the plan, but they disappointed'
the politicians by allowing sub¬
alliances to settle the question. The
sub-treasury scheme was not defeated.
It was simply referred to sub-alliances.
Had it been a convention of democrats or
republicans with a majority, they would
have fastened their ideas on the people
and the people would have been com¬
pelled to submit. The action of the
Missouri convention will result in delay,
but the alliance states will all have acted
on the sub-treasury plan in time for the
campaign of 1892, and I think the Cin¬
cinnati platform will be practically the
one on which the campaign will be
fouerht b.v the DeoDle’sDartv.”
ANOTHER WRECK
In Which Five People Lose their
.Lives.
A dispatch from Evansville, Ind., says
that Monday morning between Pell City
and Troy, Perry county, Indiana, a mix¬
ed train, in which were twenty passen¬
gers, encountered a broken rail. The
engine left the track and dashed down
a steep embankment, killing five people
and wounding many others. Those
killed were: Mrs. John Cavanaugh,Troy,
Ind., John Cavanaugh, Harris Troy, lad., Miss
Barbara Namier, Meinread, township, Ind., unknown Ind.,
Emma Schue,
farmer of Hah ock county, Kentucky.
The Weight of Money.
Do you know how many $1 bills it
takes to weigh as much as a $20 gold
piece? Driving out to White Bear re¬
cently one of those walking compeudiums
of useful information sprung the above
query and the opinions that it elicited
stiow a remarkable range. One member
of the party, whoso business it is to han¬
dle money suggested in largo sums, after profound number
thought, that the
would be from 1,000 to 1,200. Others
guessed down the line to 500, but
no one less than that number. After all
had placed themselves on record, the
compendium stated that it was thirty to
thirty-one, according to their condition
as to dirtinoss and age. He oould just as
well have based his calculations on $10
bills, but the man who was giving them
a weigh preferred denomination. to make tne -[8t. test with Paul

Presented His Wife With a Coffin.
J. A. Cowles of Beloit, Wis., aged
ninety two years, has presented his wife
with a coffin made by hinv-elf as a pres¬
ent on her eighty-ninth birthday. The
couple have been married seventy years.
Mr. Cowles takes great pride in liis uni¬
que gift, and says that while he hopes
aud expects both will live yet some time,
nature’s demand must before long be
complied with, and a coffin will be nec¬
essary. It is about all they need now.
The couple are fairly well off and in good
health .—Chicago Tribune.
