A General Improvement Xot-ed. Although Some Uncertainty Still Exists as to the Immediate Monetary Fntare. 2vew York, March 31 ? R. G. j Dim & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say: The fact of largest influence in the record of the past week has been the increased distribution of goods which appears with better weather at nearly all points. The strengthening effect is already felt in some wholesale trades, and even in : some manufactures, building materials and in steel, and paints and glass are helped, as well as many forms of textile and leather products. Collec tions already improve at many points, j though still generally rather behind, and especially at Philadelphia and other eastern points. The stringency often seen about April 1st does not appear here, while for other money markets, the close pressure some weeks ago has led to | adequate preparation- But while im ; ports greatly exceed exports, it is not safe to calculate that outgoes of gold will not again disturb confidence. Hence the break in important specula tions has its hopeful side. Instead of rising, after the close of the Lancashire strike, cotton fell three eights, which may accelerate exports, though stocks of American cotton in Europe are still a third larger than usaal at this season. \ Exports in four weeks at New York have been $5,115,000 less than last year, indicating total for the month not far from $76,000,000, while the increase in imports at New York alone has been about $1L00G,000 in dicating a total for the J&th of more than $97,000,000. This grp At excess in imports, following the excess of $36,000,000 in January and February, ia the basis of doubt about the im mediate monetary future. The situation in the great industries is distinctly improving, regardless of of speculative uncertainties. Legiti mate business shows no unsoundness, caution having largely prevailed, and the volume is the largest ever known for the season. Failures in the first quarter of the year, 3,202 in number, were fewer than in either of the past three years, and though the amount of liabilities was larger, the average of liabilities is still quite low, less than $14,800. Iron and steel business is a shade firmer, with improved demand for bar plates and structural forms; and -though rails do not sell, Bessemer iron la firm ajid^ steel stronger. Nearly all Southern points report some improvement, and at Nashville no disturbance results, the banks being fortified. At Galveston a large increase in cotton is noted, but timi dity of capital and smaller loans than usual. At Jfew Orleans lumber, ma terial for building, etc., are^strong and active and other trade fair, with money in ample supply. The business faifcrres'the last week number for the United States 166; and for CanaSht 28; total 194. Bradstreetlg Observations. New York, March 31. ? Brac street's to-morrow will say: (Cooler wither generally has improved the prospect for spring trade, but without increase in distribution. Throughout the Eastern New England States trade is quieter, dufe to reflection of late interruptions to business North and j South. In the Central Western States a fair movement of merchandise is re ported, and although the prospects a*e improved, Northwest business continues retarded there. In the ! South it remains quiet, with fair de- i mand for drygoods, hardware and ! plantation supplies at Memphis, and satisfactory trade at Houston and good demand for lumber at Galveston. I Business is slow at Charleston, where j rice merchants are steadily reducing stocks. Manufacturers at Atlanta re port trade satisfactory, but retail dealers say they are behind in sales, j owing to scarcity of ready money at the interior. Rosin is firm, but tur pentine is relatively slow at Savannah, where business is quiet The close of the month brings a falling off in volume in goods dis tributed from New Orleans, where | cotton and rice are depressed, while sugar is active and buoyant The prospect is still for a larger cotton acreage, but a reduced rice acreage is promised. The recent excitement at Nashville due to the embarrassment of the banks there las subsided, and country banks are depositing at Nashville again r where every arrangement is made to provide for the financial needs of mer chants. Some reports telegraphed re garding the situafcidil have been mis leading. Trade there is generally quiet and collections fair. Shot His Sod and Kill *4 Himself. Fatetteville, N. O, March 31. ?

Jackson, of Atlanta, spe cial United States Attorney in con nection with the Red wine defalcation in the Gate City Bank, whose presence in Washington at this time has excited a good deal of interest has this to say on the subject: "It is an error to suppose that my presence in Washington has anything to do with the Gate City Bank affairs. I have three cases before the Unified States Supreme Court, andrSTitira body that waits for no man, I wad forced to be here. Knowing that At torney General Olney had ordered a temporary cessation of the investiga tion of the bank's affairs, the people of Atlanta connected my departure with that fact. I would have come anyhow, and my coming would have stopped the investigation anyhow. I have seen the Attorney General, but am not at liberty to state what passed between us. The information will have to come from the Department of Justice. I will state, however, that it is his intention to probe the affair to the bottom. There will be serious de velopments, of course. It is ro secret _in Atlanta that I have prepared sever al papers for presentation toihe grand jury. I leave for New York to-night, and will spend Saturday and part of Sunday at Cambridge. I have a son at Harvard. I will be in Washington -on Monday, and I hope to leave on VVednesday next. I presume that the investigation will be resumed as soon after arrival in Atlanta as possi bly/ Joseph James, recently appointed attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, was with the Attorney Gen eral yesterday morning, but Mr Olney gave him no instructions in regard to the Gate City bank matter. It was not mentioned. Butler's Game. Senator Butler's course does not seem to be gaining him many friends. In fact, some of his warmest support ers seem to be felling away from him, since he took up Cal Caughman and Ben Perry. The W mnsboro News and Herald, which has always been a Con servative journal, says: "Senator Butler is doing himself great injustice. It is stated in the, newspapers that he endorsed Perry ,befi?e he was fully informed of his conduct in this State and before he had full knowledge of the truth of the charge. It was the Senator's duty to inquire. Now it is stated that he en dorsed Judge Townsend thinking that he was endorsing Attorney General Townsend. Really we can't excuse such ignorance on the part of our senior Senator as to his home people. The truth is, the Senator had better consult his constituents a little more. We don't like somjf of the company about him? ^v^n if such company is7 necessary to t>eat Tillman. The Sen ator may lose tfiore friends than he will make by alliances with Caughman and Perry. We didn't like the letter that the Senator wrote last year, in which he appeared exceedingly anxious to know exactly where the majority was. The Conservatives of this State like a man to stand firmly by a principle." This is a significant utterance. The Conservative papers are not oyer much pleased to see Butler affiliating with Perry and Caughman. It appears that Butler is simply taking Perry and Caughman away from Tillman, and that as soon as he has done tha^he~w^ll fling them aside as a small boy throws'* way an orange skin after he has extracted the juice. ?

First oa the list of nominations today, and first in distinction in long public ser vice afid in diplomatic experience, was Thomas F? Bayard, and it was by unanimous opinion declared fitting that he should be the first of the.am bassadors created by the last Congress. JAMEB A. M'RENZIE, who goes as Minister tc Peru,-wa^>pne of the coterie of inimitable Kentucky humorists, which included Proctok Knott and Joe Blackburn, who repre sented that State in the Forty-seventh Congress. He is fifty three years of age, and, whil# he was educated as a: lawyer, he saw fit to follow the primi tive occupation of a farmer. But he has managed Id find time to dabble extensively in politics, and besides representing his State in Congress. ?e has ^ been a delegate to the two National Democratic conventions. It was McKenzie who made the cele brated humorous speach at th^St Louis convention, wherein he likened Cleveland to a thoroughbred Ken tucky horse, ready for victory. At the Chicago, convention he broke away from Henry Watterson's lead, and by another timely and flowery speech carried a number of his fellow delegates over to the Cleveland line. JAMES D. PORTER, nominated to be Minister to Chile, to succeed Patrick Henry Egan, a resi dent of Paris, Tenn., where Me is at present engaged in the praotfce of law. He has also served with ^ distinction upon the bench, and enjoys the reputa tion cf being one of the ablest law yers in his State. Under the previous Democratic ad ministration Mr Porter was Assistant Secretary of State under Mr Bayard, and from 1874 to 1876 he was Governor ot Tennessee. PIERCfc M. Bv YOUNG, of Georgia, nominated to be Minister to Gautemala, was a major general of cavalry in the Confederate army and was distinguished for his services in that cause. He was the commanding offioer at the battle of Brandy Station, one of the principal cavalry battles of the war, and thfe engsigement in which Gen Butler was wounded. Young was educated at West Point, but was bom and has lived all his life in the South, and is a large plantation owner. He served in the Fortieth, Forty-first, Forty-second and Forty third Congresses. Under Cleveland's former administration he was sent to St Petersburg as Consul General, but, not liking tfte place, resigned agfl came home. He succeeds Gen. < Pacheco, formerly a Representative from California. JOHN D. HALL, geminated to be .A-ssistant Attorney ^Seneral, ia a member of the law firm of Hall A Hammond, with offices in Atlanta and Griffin, Ga, the latter place being his residence. Mrjfell in said to be one of the leading lawyers of his States a man of great force of character and acumen. When but a I young man he was made judge of the circuit court. Although never a can didate; for place, he has frequently been elected as a member of the State legislature, and when so elected has always served as cnasrman of the judiciary^ committee. He is about fitty years old, and tull of mental and physical vigor. EDWIN DUN. | nominated as Minister to Japan, is A , citizen of London, Ohio. His n*mma I tion is in the nature of a promotion, | ibr be is a hold-over from the previous .Eh ;? ? > ? * i Demcratic administration. Mr Cleve land, when.

THE INDUSTRIAL SOUTH. : \ New Factories, Etfc., Established J>urin* the First Quarter of 1893. ? ^ [Chattanooga, Margft 31. ?The quarterly statement of Sjputhern in-; duhries, prepared by the Tradesman j of Chattanooga, shows that the first quarteV of 189JJ, the new industries eStabliAed exceed those of the first oy&m bv 193. While for quarter.of this year only eight development companies have been in cOrpcpated, daring the same perfed of j last year twenty-seven were formed. The quarter just ended also shows seventy six cotton and woolen mills established, fifty-nine flour and grist mill^ twenty-nine canning factories, forty , oil mills, and the building of water works plants, extensive timber interests nth are not only attracting on, but capital, islhown by one hundred and ninety wood-working plants have ished during the last quar ter, as against one hundred and twen ty-two in 1892, and one hundred and forty-one in the first quarter of 1891. Tennessee heads the list with thirty two new industries in this line to her credit, Georgia and North Carolina are close rivals, with twenty four and twenty-three respectively. All the Southern States, however, are well represented in this ? development, Mis sissippi, with seven, being the smallest number. , Seventy-six textile industries were established in the quarter, as against 28 in the first quarter* of 1892 and 45 in the same period of 1891; the very general character of this development is shown by the fact that only three States, Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia, are not represented in this total Alabama leads the list with 22, North Carolina 16, Gesrgia 13, South Carolina 8, Virginia 5, Mississippi 4 and Texas and Tennessee 3 each, and Florida and Louisiana 1 each. This quarter shows 58 flour and grist mills established, as against 29 tor the same quarter of 1892. The increasing demand for cotton toed oil and its products, together with the advance in price which ha a recently taken place, accounts for the large number of new oil mills organ ized during the quarter; a total of 40 is shown, as against 10 in 1892 and 8 in same quarter in 1891, over half the total number being located in Texas and the remainder scattered through out the other cotton growing States. . Twelve- brick and tile plants are re ported, 22 cotton presses, 21 electric light plants, 22 foundries and ma chine simps, 7 ice factories, 32 water works plants, with 93 other miscel a neons Industries.

AB R* porta Show that the Dreaded Disease Is Now Bamp^it In Many Parte of the . Csafa Great Empire? The Dis Qreeping , Oyer the V xt Frontiers. ^ j London, April 1. ? The^aster va cation has begun in the shadow of an approaching cholera epidemic. In Russia the authorities have been forced to acknowledge the presence of the disease in several cities and provinces, 'which according to all former official reports have been unafflicted since December 15. German and Austrian physicians returning from tours of the provinces in question,, however, state that there has not been a day since last June when there was the slightest evidence that cholera was suppresed in any government south of St Peters borg.^In' fourteen Governments Southern, Southeastern, Eastern and Northeastern Russia the deaths have been numbered by the score every week for the last six months. These Goveramenti include within their fcuiklaries most of the black earth region, lands which are known as the granary of Russia, hence to the?hor ron of the epidemic has been added the appalling prospect of a return of the famine, with typhus and other fevers in its wake. An examination of the j? which Europe has been lulled into a feeling ; of comparative security by lalse official reports is found in the re ??nt conditions in. the Government of Podolia. The Government has main tained persistently Jhat Podolia was entitled to ? c lean bill of health. (Three Bud* Path phyuciaaa who nave just returned fron* that Govern ment, which they visited in a semi official capacity, report that the num ber ofdejtbs from cholera in January w?t between 300 and 400. and in February somewhat more than 600. Tpe deplorable results of the Rufluan system of deoqrtion in health reports beoome suddenly apparent In eight Galwaan villages, near the Russian frontier, the cholera has already shown itself and in four more suspicious cares of choleraic diseases have been isolated. All twelve villages have been fre quented during the winter by Russian peasants, who cross the border to work in the Galician forests. The strictness of the watch on the border, had been relaxed in View of untrustworthy assurances of thjB Bus tian authorities, and therefore there men from the infected districts found little difficulty in their migration, which never would have been permit ted had the feet of a continued spread of the disease been known to the health office in Vienna. The latest advices from East Pruwia indicate that the Germans were de ceived by fafee accusations of Russia and had abated the administrative severity of regulations prescribed by Berlin sanitary officials. Two villages near Thorn are believed to be infected. In Thorn two suspicious cases have been isolated. Bulgaria also is in danger, for two cases of cholera were discovered in Rutschuk on Wednes day. Physicians in Vienna and Berlin are already prophesying that within four weeks all Central Europe will be obliged to revive the active campaign of last summer against the epidemic.
