TRADE NOTES.
Bradstreets’ Report of Business for
the Past Week.
Bradstreets’ review of trade for the
past week says: “The feature of the
week is the continued strength of
prices of staples after the striking ad
vances of preceding weeks. There is
a firmer undertone iu nearly all lines
of trade, hut at a number of points
gains in industrials are more marked
than in commercial lines. The fi.irry
in petroleum is succeeded by a very
dull market. The woolen dress goods
mills have secured a number of orders
for fall delivery, which accounts for
the moderate activity in the market for
wool. Cotton goods are firm on the
advance in cotton and higher wages
paid eastern mill operatives, The
number of strikes for higher wages in
creases. Voout 25,000 people have
struck in April, most of them for an
advance. The number of voluntary
advance in wages reported is large.
During the past two weeks the wages
of 50,000 operatives, most of them in
the textile lines, have been advanced
without strike s. As most of those who
strnck for higher wages were success
ful, fully 75,000 industrial operatives
api>ear to have had their wag* s ad
vanced since the banning of April.

stances it is pronounced. ”

THE DISPENSARY WAR.
| A Charleston Citizen to Make a Test
Caso.
The dispensary law in South Caro
lina threatens very shortly t° assume
the proportions of a fight between the
federal and state governments. In
addition to tho temporary iDjnnetion
heretofore granted by Judge Goff, re
straining the stato authorities from
seizing contraband liquors brought
into the state, another injunction was
issued last Friday by Judge Himonton,
of the United States circuit court,
which promises to hasten mutters to
an immediate issue. This last case is
brought by James Donald, a citizen of
Charleston, against .Tames G. Scott,
ML T. Holly aud other memhers of tho
constabulary force iu that city. The
easo wns evidently prepared with great
caution.
The plaintiff early in tho year or
dered from New York, via the Old
Dominion Line, a barrel of beer, from
Baltimore a case of V* c ' iW * c l t Club
whisky, and from Savannah a ease of
California-wines. HeWkWfied*Hi« diw
peusary constabulary of tlie fact that
he had bought the goods and warned
lhem through his counsel, Mr. Now,
not to seize the goods. The goods
were seized, li wever, nud confiscated.
The petitioner has brought suit against
tho constables for $12,000, and asks
the court for an injunction restraining
all constables, police or other officers
from interfering with aud seizing his
property.
He avers that the liquor was bought
for his own consumption and private
use and not for sale. The dispensary
law is attacked on tho ground that it
attempts to abridge the right of a citi
zen to import into tho state for his
own use and consumption such liquors
as he may desire. It is claimed that
the law is a restriction of commerce
between the states in favor of the pro
ducts of the state of South Carolina
against the products of other states
and counties, and conflicts with ar
ticle 1, sections 8 and 9 of tho consti
tution of the United States. The in
junction asked for is to restrain and
enioin the constabulary from entering,
seizing or attempting to seize such
liquors, or from entering tlio dwelling
of tho plaintiff to search for such
,‘oods, or iu any manuer from pre
venting tlio plaintiff from importing
and holding said liquor. The injunc
tion was made returnable on May 1st.
Governor Evans has said that be will
not obey the injunction and has in
structed* tho constabulary to go ahead
with their seizures.
IN POSSESSION OF CORINTO.
British Troops Landed at Nicaragua
Amidst Great Excitement.
Nicaragua has refused to accept the
British ultimatnm. This information
was communicated to Hear Admiral
Stephenson at Washington at a late
hour Friday night. The three days
given Nicaragua to make a reply hav
ing expired at midnight Friday, the
British forces at once took possession
of the town
The garrison at Corinto, which con
aisted of a small force of about lot) or
200 men was withdrawn to the inte
rior, leaving the British in peaceable
possession of the town. -
No opposition was made to their
landing, but it is stated by those fa
miliar with the Nicaraguan people that
auv attempt ou the part of the British
to penetrate to the interior or in
short, to leave the environs of Corinto,
will be resisted by Nicaragua.
Great excitement is reported to ex
ist, not only at Corinto and Managua,
hut throughout the entire republic.
It is now said positively that NDa
ragna will not pay the $75,000 indem
Ditv demanded by Lreat Britain,
Should this determination be adhered
to, the occupation of Corinto by the
British government may be indefinite,
The British ultimatnm provide*! not
only for the payment of *75,000
•Vmara money” to Pro-Consul Hatch,
but it included also a payment of
82 500 to compensate a number
Britisb subjccU who were arrested and
taken to Managua with Mr. Hatch,
and provided further that a joiDt
mission should be established to fix
the damages which resulted to these
and other British snbjects oa a result
,.f their arrest and expulsion from the
republic.

ahead of tlie terms of its agreement.
Judge Thomas, assistant attorney
general for the postofilce department,
hnB issued fraud orders against the
publishers’ collection agency, which
continues to use the “so-called news
paper laws" to force collections. Host
masters at Ht. Paul, Pittsburg mid
Chicago, where tho company lias
offices, were notified to stop its mail
matter.
The Nicaragua canal engineering
board was organized at Washington
Thursday morning at tho war depart

Colonel Ludlow, it is understood, will

Tho board will arrange to go to Now

to get away for the isthmus early next

the attaching to the commission of a
naval surgeon.
When tho U. S. supremo court on
May 6th again takes up tho income
tnx question, it will once more go into
the merits of all the points’ involved
and will not, us its order made a few
days ago apparently stated, confine the
argument to the question whether or
not a rehearing of the case shall be
granted. This unexpected explanation
of tho court’s order shows that what it
intended to state in its ambigious an
nouncement was that it hnd granted
the potition for a rehearing and if tho
bench wore full on the date named,
would open the cases again ou Slay 6th.
Vnrious announcements have boen
made in Kentucky and elsewhere that
Secretary Carlisle will participate in
the Kentucky campaign. It is stated
by tho private secretary to Secretary
Carlisle, that ho will participate in the
campaign, but not until ufter the state

ter part of June. Tho secretary may,
however, see jit to exercise his influ

The livo stock men of Chicago do
not like the reports sent out by Sec
retary of Agriculture Morton, inti
mating that the high prico of meat is
caused by a combination in the inter
est of tbo stock men as agaiust both
the producer and consumer of meat.
At a largely attended meeting held at
tho stock exchange at the Union
stockyards, ut Chicago, a long series
of resolutions were adopted and or
dered telegraphed to Secretary Morton.
The resolutions say the receipts of
cattle at the four principal western
markets for the current year nro 270,
000 head less than for the Hnme period
of 1894. This alone is responsible for
the increase in the prices of dressed
beef. Statements recently sent out
charging that there is a combine or
trust nro pronounced unjust, and the
public is asked to withhold its judg
ment until the merit of the controversy
can he investigated by the press.
