raj remarks about the market. Those

THE MARKET.-Owing to the Sc
we're weather, the continuance of
heavy snow storms, which restrict the
movement Of merchandise as well as
to the uncertainty about the legisIa-
tive measures, which were pending in
the now adjourned Congress, trade
has been less active than usually at
Ibis season Of the year However a
more cheerful feeling is now percepti-
bic and " it'll milder weather aud better
means Of rapid transportation n mate
rial improvement in all branches is
confidently anticipated.
FURs.-The latest cable news from
the London Sales appear not quite as
favorable as had generally been ex-
pected, and only Prime collections of
Furskins show an advance over last
springs sale, while for Inferior lots
former prices were barely sustained.

element in Columbia

CHARLEeIoN, s. c., August I7.-There was
an exciting time last evening IN Columbia
caused by the proceedings under the habe1s
corpus for the release of eX-TreaSurer Parker
The application was heard at p. 10. before
Judge Mackey, Parker'S counsel claiming
ms discharge under the provision OF the con-
stltution prohibiting imprisonment for debt.
The sherifs return failed TO allege that the
cases ,7as one OF fraud a charge which is eX-
pressly excepted in the constitutional pro-
hlbitlon OF imprisonment for debt, and after
argument the judge released the prisoner.
The court room was filled with an excited
crowd, and Parker was Immediately re-
arrested on criminal warrant for grand lar
ceny, but his counsel waived examination
and urging that the amount involved in the
ALI ged robbery had nothing TO do with the
amount OF bail succeeded in getting him re-
leased on two thousand dollars bail. IL is
generally believed that Parker will escape
and forfeit bail. The Nc,cS ami C5urier de
nounce the release of Parker as gross
judicial outrage and JOB put up by certain
state officials who beard that Parker would
impiIcate them in his enormous robberies
