] CONDITION OF BUSINESS)
FEATURES OF THE PAST WEEK IN
TRADE CIRCLES.
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.

THE GATE CITY BANK.
| Attorney General Olney Will Probe the
Affair to the Bottom.
Washington, March 31. ? ('apt
Henry W. 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

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.

Cleveland.. <5,
Washington. March ! 30. ? First
oa the list of nominations today, and
first in distinction in long public ser

unanimous opinion declared fitting
that he should be the first of the.am

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

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.

BLAC& CLOUDS OF DEATH.
CHOLERA MAKES ITS APPEARANCE
AGAIN IN EUROPE.
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.
