New York, Sept 24.-R. G. Dan
& 0o.^8 Weekly Review o? Trade
will Bay in its issu* to-inorrow : Gold
? imports have begu?i direct from Eng?
land and from France, besides tie
arrival of $4,000,000 at San Fran?
cisco from Australia ior wheat ex?
ported The gold received there and
started from Europe amounts to $6,
500,000 ia two days, and the advance
; of its rates by the Bank of England'
^-tb 2 1-2 per cent, seems little likely
to check the movement, in view of
heavy merchandise bal a o ces doe to
this country and a rise in the rate
of interest here. The August excess
of merchandise and specie exports
over imports was not fer from' ?42.
OOO.OOC and the September excess
w2i evidently be larger unless ship
\ meets cf gold are considered. Mer?
chandise exports from New York in
three weeks of September have been
15.3 pe?? cent, over last year's and
imports 1S T per cent less, aid
like changes on the whole trade for
the m ot th would result ?rt net ex?
ports of ?53,000,000 merchandise
j besides silver.
Produce'markets *have been un?
certain, closing a fraction higher for
both wheat and corn, while the " ?e
cline in cotton continues Witb 814
cents paid for spot at the end of
August, cotton has dropped 1 1-2
cents or 18 per cent JD less than four
weeks in spite of a remark?
able revival of manufacture. Fever
ia some southern cities has not been
largely influential,,and the main fac?
tor has been again the impression
that estimates are as misleading as
they were when the crop was the
greatest on record The corn esti?
mate most credited by the trade is
only 1,750.000,000 bushels, bat
is coupled with figures tend?
ing to show a surplus from the last
crop of 400,000,000 bushels over or?
dinary consomption. Were this
quite believed, the price would not
be rising, although exports continue
heavy", in three weeks 9,927.849
bushels against 6,150,187 last year.
Wheat has gained . a fraction for tue
week, while Atlantic exports, flour
included, for three weeks have been
12,498,l81bushel8 agaiust 8,183;743
last year. Western receipts are ex?
ceeding last year's and foreign esti?
mates now agree in making the prob
.able requirement from this country
over 100,000,000 bushels greater
than last year.
- The'official ending of the wee te rn
coal strike adds many thousand meei
to the working force in the. mines,
and others lo manufactories using
bituminous coal. The anthracite
strike has substantially ended, and
no extensive labor disturbance is
threatened The output of coke is
now 125,000 tons, and the price js
also advanced. Some branches of
the iron and steel industry are clear
ly no longer able to keep op with
their new orders. Others are very
fully employed for some months
ahead, and with ali the demand is in?
creasing Heavy buying has raised
Bessemer pig at Pittsbu rg to $10 50
and grey forge tc $9 50, with actual
sales of 10"ODO tone southern pig in
the M atoning Talley for $6 75 at
Birmingham. Billets are quoted at
$16 25, and $23 has been refused for
wire rods. The structural work is
be?hid orders, tin plate mills are hin?
dered by failure to get sheet bars de?
livered fast enogb, plate and sheet
mills Sod heavy demand for cars at
the west; with a slightly improved
demand ai.d a shade better prices at
the east The average advance of
iron and steel products from the low?
est point is 8 2 per cent. Wool sales
at Boston have decreased a quarter
but manufacturers are still un?bie to
find proiite io goods with wool at
present prices. Reported sales of
wool are more than double those of
the most prosperous years, but the
rise in prices renders the future more
doubtful except for manufacturers
having heavy supplies laid in. The
cotton mills are doing a large busi?
ness, although recent buying of
goods h&3 naturally decreased after
the recent rush
Failures for this week have been
209 in the United States against 315

THJR FIRE PBOOF VAULTS.
! The County Records Will be Se
? cu rely Housed in Future.
Th? work of patting in the ?re proof re?
cord vaults and setting up tbs steel record
cases and book racks is nearing completion,
and it is possible to obtain as clear and accu?
rate conception of tbe mest needed and most
valuable of tbe improvements nude oa tbe
Court House. Tbe fire proof vaults are two
io o auber, eacb 20x18 feet in dimensions.
The walis of these vaults are 20 inches in
thickness and the ceiling is composed of iron
arches resting on Rteel beam3. Above the
iron ceiling fireproof packing fills the space
to the flooring overhead. The floors of the
vaults are made of cement. Oce vault com?
municates with tbe office of the Clerk of
Court through a steel cased doorway that is
closed bj double steel doors having combina?
tion locks. The ether vault connects with
both tbe Auditor's and Judge of Probate's
offices, by rceaos of doors similar to that into
the clerk of courts office. So much for the
construction of the vaults; bot it was first
necessary to state the above facts l o show
that the vaults would be secure against fiie
that might originate in some other portion of
the Court Boase.
The record cases, book;racks and steel fur?
niture in the vault? are furnished and install?
ed by the B.P. Smith Fire-Vroof Construction
Co. Ur. B. F. Smith, President of the com?
pany is here in person and is superintending
the work which is being done rapidly. The
record cases and book racks together in both
vaults if pat in a row would be eighty feet
in length. The cases are 10 feet in height
andi are made entirely of steel, with
brass trimmings. The record cases are
practically dost proof and bare files
fitted in the inside for legal documents
The book racks have rollers for
the books to rest upon and each book bas a
separate division, so that there will bs no dif?
ficulty in obtaining any one desired aod the
wear abd tear on the books is almost entirely
obviated. The cases and racks in tbe clerk's
vault are finished in maroon enamel with
oxjdized brass trimmings ; in the Jadge of
Probate's vault -the fioiab. is olive green
enamel with -polished bras? trimmings. In
eads vault there are two handsome steel oak
top tables.
Tb? vaults are fire-proof in the fullest
raea.riing of the term and the fixtures are ali
of the handsomest and most substantial char?
acter. Soiidity and ulility have not been sacri?
ficed to beauty, batt he combination of the
three qualities gives a result that is pleasing
in appearance and satisfying when examin?
ed most critically from a purely practic*!
sandpointt.

If a clean sweep were made of the loafers
there would be less gambling aroand this
city. There are certain negroes who bave
never been knowo to work, yet live ; and
[ common report concerning them
is that they are "?Doris" and make tbeir
living by fleecing other negroes in games of
chance such as skin, craps, checks, etc. These
idle men should be run in aod sentenced to
the chain gang as vagrants, for it is utterly
impossible to obtain evidence to coovict that
they gamble. Of course these disreputable
negroes are not tbe only gamblers in the city,
and no one with the b*8| information would
make an assertion to that effect, bat hey are
vagrants as well as gamblers, and that is a
crime mach more heinous than gambling in
the eye of the law and the public. Yagraots
cumber tbe streets and are offensive, while the
gambler, disreputable and respectable, alike,
seek secluded places to ply their trade.
Fire Near Br ogdon's.
The dwelling boose on a place near Brog?
dens owned by Mre. L. E. Davis, of that
neighborhood, was burned on Saturday.
None of tbe family wno occopied tbe house
were at home at the time, nod consequently
lost all of tbeir household furniture and
clothing. Tbe loss on the bouse is estimated
at $800 to $1,000, insurance $500 The lire
was accidental, it is supposed.

Tho Grange Rea] Estate Investment
company of Bisbopville received a charter
yesterday from the secretary of state. The
capital stock is $3,000. all of which is p?id
in. J. W. English, president, W. A. James,
Jr., secretary, and J. M. Smith, treasurer.

The Circus.
A large crowd, mostly colored people carce
to town Monday to see tbe circus-or tbe
parade, Th< sidewalks, stores aod
upprr windows on Main Street were
fiile? about half-past ll by those
who wanted to see the parade,
and they wai'e-1 until near one o'clock be?
fore they were tinally graliSed. D?ring that
timetbpy were kept on the ragged edge of
suspense by varioua rumors; oue that the
parade would be at 12 30, another that there
would te no parade, and again that there
would be no show.
It finally appeared, however, on Washing?
ton Street, passed the Graded School going
op town and passed down Maia Street. It
was a small parade, compared with the big
shows of former days, but it had the band
wagon, the ring horses and ponies, and tbe
big elephant, etc.,-in fact all that was ad?
vertised.
The circus Monday played in the biggest
sort of luck and escaped scot free of city,
cenoty and State license. It happened after
this manner : There is no license ordinance
io effect in this city, the old ordinance having
been repealed and the new not becoming ef?
fective ontil October 1st, consequently no
city license could be collected ; the county was
done out of the license fee by means of an
opinion of A. B Stuckey, Esq., county at?
torney, who held that the show was not a
circus, inasmuch as there was to have been no
bareback riding and equestrian exhibition.
Clerk of Court Nash at first insisted that
there should be no performance until tbs
license was paid, bot after Mr. Stnckey's
opinion was submitted to him he
could not do anything bot acquiesce. The
matter is not ended, however, as it is to be
taken before the Grand Jory at the approach?
ing term of Court. Mr. Stnckey's opinion is
net regarded as sou od bj a great many per?
sons who claim that the show yesterday was
most assuredly a circus, as far a* it went,
and was therefore liable to licenee and should
have been forced to pay it. Clerk of Court
Nash went to Bishopville yesterday moroiog,
for the purpose, it is said, of collecting the
coanty liceose for both Monday's and yester?
day^ performances
Wc premised A. B. Stuckey, Esq., io jus?
tice to bim, to publish bis written opinion
givec to the Clerk of the Court as to what
kind of show is subject to the county license,
but tbs clerk is absent to-day, and we have
not been able to get the opinion. Tbe opin?
ion was also concurred in and signed by Mr.
W. F B. Haynsworlb. We will try to get
it in print io our nest issue.

THE MAYOR'S COTJET.
The Mayor's Court had the largest attend?
ance last Thursday it has bad io a long time,
and tbe corridors leading to the office and the
wiodows in the rear vr/'-e crowded with the
curious. There were many names entered on
Clerk Hurst's book, and the charges against
the unfortunates viere full and circumstan?
tial. The case that attracted the crowd was
that against Mr. J. Frierson Reid, who was
arrested late Wednesday afternoon by Police?
man Weeks for "guying the policemen "
The charges against him were public drunk?
enness, disorderly conduct aod resisting an
officer. The evidence submitted established
that he was not drnnk enongh to be offensive
to the public, altbough be admitted having
taken two or three drinks. The charge of
resisting arrest was dismissed by Mayor Bos
sard, who declared that Policeman Weeks
should have accepted the bond when tendered,
aod exceeded bis duty when he refused to do
so. Mr. Reid was fined $2.
The next case was that against John Bel?
cher, LiGrand Davis, Willie Mack, Amos
Williams aod Ben Buger for gambling in John
Belcher's restaurant on Liberty street. This
place was raided yesterday afternoon by Chief
Bradford and Policeman Smith. The entire
crowd in the place including Messrs. Frank
K. Winn and Frierson Reid were arrested,
bot the two latter produced evidence that
they had gone in the place to look for a negro
for whom Constable Winn had a warrant.
Mr. Reid had an appointment from Magis?
trate Wells as a special constable, so both got
out of a rather embarrassing and unpleasant
situation. There was no proof that Belcher
and hts associates were gambling at the time,
and. the case was accordingly dismissed.
Mayor Bossard directed, however, than an
idictmect for running a gambling boose be
made against Belcher.
William Green, Charles Nelson and John
Bracey were found guilty of fighting and dis?
orderly conduct and were reqaired to pay $2
each.

Ionia Letter.
IONIA, S. C., Sept. 24. 1897.
Farmers are very much disheartened, as
the prospects are so very gloomy. Crops ere
so "short, and the price is still shorter, that it
is hard to tell what the future will be. So
many are owing back debts that are bard to
pay when cotton brings a fair price, and now
it is so low, that it will be iupc6sib?e for a
great many to payout this year. I see but
one chance for ns, and that is to live one
year on what we have, whether it be enough
or not, and not go in debt, except it be for
something that is necessary to save life, and
try ic the meantime to raise plenty of hog
hominy at borne. We will have to quite
cotton, that is so mach of it at least, for it is
no use to make cotton, wheo it cost ns more
to raise it, than we get for it. I have heard
some say that they can make money at five
cents. But I can't see tbe point, with
labor high and worthless when yon get it.
Day labor bas abont played out in this
country, and contract labor is very inferior,
to what it bas been. The colored race has
been trying for some time to quite working
for the whites, and they have abont done it
We pay now for what we get, and as long as
tbe white folks, involve themselves in debt to
make cotton, and have to pay the darkey his
price, to make and gather our cotton, times
will get worse and worse. Cotton is some?
thing that requires labor from one year's end
to the other. So any blind man will see,
that at the present prices, it is a down-hill
business. Some will say that we are com?
pelled to make cotton, that it is the ody
crop that we can getjany money out of. I
admit that, but if we will plant balfes much,
we will not need so much money or labor.
We are dependent on labor, and as long as
that is the case, we will pay for it. Thou?
sands cf darkeys, loaf around towns all the
year, waiting for cotton picking time to get
their price, and we are glad to accommodate
them to get our crop gathered, for we are in
the* bag and will do any thing to get out
And then in tbe windup some sell their
seed to get out of debt, and then can't
come it.
Well Mr. Editor, I see what I predicted,
bas come to pass, in regard to public cotton
weighing, I am no son ef a prophet, but I
knew, that-it wouid not work, like some
thought it would. But it has worked
thousands of bales away from Sumter, to
Camden and other places, and of course
where tbe cotton goes, some trade goes with
it. The beet thing for Sumter to do is to do
away with the public weighers and induce
regular cotton buyers, tbat will buy direct
from tbe wagons, to locate there and pay as
much for it as they do io Camden, and then
Sumter will get on a boom.
