Shut-Down Works Re-opened and Force of Hands at Others In creased — Prices go up Conservatively. •* New York, Nov. 20—R. G. Dun A Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will pay: The gain in volume of business contin ue# entirely without precedent. More than Sir? establishments started work since the election which were idle and at least 300 have increased working force, making 690 concerns which are known to have added largely to the number at work, and these are outv part of the whole number. Ev^ry day thus adds thousands to the number of those who are able to buy a week’s supplies, aud fo make up gradually for many mouths of enforced enoonomy. Already this brings great increase in the volume of business and the clearing house exchanges for the first time in several years, not on ly exceed those of last year by 10 pfer cent., but also exceed those of the same week in 1892 by 9 per cent Business men are all anx ious to prevent anything like the fictitious excitement of last sum mer, and in nearly all branches an excessive rise in prices is pre vented. But with more hands at work thure is inevitably a greater demand for supplies, materials and 'products. The speculative markets have been reacting, which Alderman Odiorne spoke in re gard to the expense Mpidity> 9o thftfc Sr<io)>*l* of Weather.

Dr. McLeod thought that the pumping should not be stopped as the artesian water is the only good water that the citizens had access to. He stated that he had written * the State chemist in regard to having the water analyzed and would for ward a jug at once for that pur pose. Alderman Odiorne thought that, as soon as the chemist’s re port was received, the council should proceed to make some cheaper arrangement for pumping the water. Alderman McLeod stated that the city attorney had said that he would have the ordinance book re vised by January 1st, 1897. Alderman McNeill stated the framing of an ordinance in regard to selling meats in the city had been turned over to the city attor ney. Alderman Douglas reported that Mr. C. E. Jarrott would commence at once to dig the fire well near his gin at the cost of #12. Alderman Odiorne called attenj tion to the dangerous condition of the building next to C. D. Hoff- meyer’s store. Alderman Douglas stated that he and the city clerk both had not ified Mr. Jas. Allen that a building on Evans street belonging to him was in a dangerous condition and had ordered him to have it attended to. A communication from the rail road authorities, asking the city to brick their pavements as required and charge the cost to them, was referred to the street committee with power to * act. The street committee was requested to see all citizens, who had not bricked their pavements, as required by ordi nance, and find out whether they wish the city to do the work and charge the cost to them.

Cotton has declined from 8 to 7-62 cents, in spite of the starting of many cotton mills, aud the controlling fact for the moment is that reports of a yield smaller than 8,000,000 bales are now entirely dircredited. The quantity coming into sight has exceeded last year’s by 820,000 bales, and it is not expected that the decrease in the remaining months of the year will bring the aggregate below 8,600,000. The export demand does not abate, although temporarily checked while prices were above 8 cents, and the increase of $9,400,000 in value of cotton exported in Octo ber contributed more than any other single item to make the aggregate exceed that of the same mouth in any previons year. In spite of heavy payments on loans abroad, the movement of gold this way would undoubtedly be re sumed if foreign buying of Ameri can securities should set in. In a transition period, industries record gains slowly, but the slight de cline in prices of Bessom?r pig iron and of finished products of iron aud steel is partly due to realising on speculative purchases before the election and partly to the selling of nails by jobbers be low the combination price. For most manufactured products of iron there is a better demand aud a slow advance in prices.

Current reports some time aio had it that he was in the pfjjrince of Santa Clara and westward toward AU- is objective point being and pos sibly the city of Havana itself. While Weyler’s present campaign is regarded in Havana as marking a crisis in ihe war, it is whispered that at the conclusion of any pitched battle that may be fought, a truce may be declared and ar rangements made for a conference between Ihe insurgent leaders and the representatives of Spain, look ing to a settlement of the war. This is most significant as showing that all classes are utterly tired of the war and its burdens aud long ing for some way out of the pres ent difficulties. Under these circumstances, an important insurgent victory would almost be hailed in commercial circles at Havana with the same satisfaction that a Spanish victory would be received of the conference on Deoember the 9th. Over three hundred dele gate# will be entertained in Ab beville during that week and all our people, of all denominations aud faith#, will open their homes and hearts to receive them. The m *mh rs of the Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopal an 1 Associate Reformed churches have cheor- fully signified their wdiingness to entertain the ministers ami they are being assigned to them. The town of Abbeville will be turned over to the ministers, their wives and their daughters for the week and the perple will all unite iu trying to make this one of the happiest and most enjoyable con ferences ever held in the State. Five different committees have been at work for over a mouth getting homes for the ministers, money for current expenses, ar ranging music for the occasion and other things necessary for the success of the meeting. A number of distinguished men will be present at tin* meet’ng, among them visitors f churches*. Dr. A. Qoke the Virginia Conference wop is so well and favoraoly known here, will visit the conference. Bishop John C. Cranberry, of Virginia, will be hereand will be entertained by Judge J. Fuller Lyon. Dr. Clifton will be here with his ever ready wit and cordiality to make the strangers welcome. They will not be strangers to the Doctor as this will make the third time he has entertained the conference in his twenty-seven years of ministry. The first time was iu Spartanburg in 1887, iu Charleston iu 1892 aud this time at Abbeville. Dr. Clif ton is well beloved in the confer ence and many warm friendships will be renewed at Abbeville on December 9th.—Abbeville Medium. „ igton.
