TIE TRADE SITUATION

Notwithstanding the lugubrious
report that comes from Philadelphia
as to fear Of threatened strikes, which
we publish this morning, and the
equally lugubrious report made by
the Boston Price Current as to the
fright that stu prevails at the,"Hub,"
there is an evident improvement at
all trade centers. This is seen in the
increase in the amount Of weekly
Clearings, which, including those OF
New York, amounted to S7.2 per
cent. more than the week before, aud,
leaving New York out, to 29.l per
cent. A great many Of the moneyed
transactions in New York are for
speculative account, and therefore do
not properly enter into an account Of
the state of trade. Still, the increase
out Of New York is very resssuring,
especially when coupled with the fact
referred TO by the New York Chronicle
that many daily borrowers were com.

last week, and renewals to p per

on call at Sper cent, which during the
week has ruled at the banks. One
feature has been an effort by some of
the leading stock houses to borrow on

convention. The session was taken
up with the presentation OF credentials,
and no business YVES transacted. L. is
stated that one of the most important
questions to be considered will be the
sdvissbility of erecting and operating
a rolling-mill to be owned and con-
trolled by the association. The object
of this enterprise is to ascsr ain the
exact cost OF manufacturing iron ar d
steel. 1t is believed that euch a mill
can be erected by issuing interest
bearing bonds to the members OF from
$l00 10 $500 each, these bonds to be
made redeemable at from one to Ten
years. The feeling among the dele
gates in regard TO the application of
the nailers for resdmi sion is favorable
to taking them into the fold again.

Senator Kerry OF Arkansas, and the
Arkansas Railroad Bill.

Senator Berry got word last Monday
that the Alkansas Valley railroad bill
was in danger of a veto. Ii giants the
right of way from Van Buren,, Ark +,
across the Cherokee country to Ar
kanfas City in Kausas, aud thus sup.
plies the connecting link between the
Kansas and Arksnsas railroad systems.
Boston capita lists are behind the en-.
terprise, and the money is ready TO
bulld the road as soon as the light of
wsy is Oh aimed. The Arkansas SEN
ator5 and Represent t.ves have bseu
very jealous in getting the hill a ong
and a veto was never dreamt q ot. Sen
ator Berry went to tbs White House
and pumped the question at this
President without any preliminsries.
Mr.. ClevelaI d said the information
was correct. He had about mads up
his mind TO veto the bill. "Wby" de-
manded the Senator. This President
explained tn t he had res son to be-
lieve, if the right Of way was granted,
there would be an uprising Of the
Cherokee Indians, and possibly much
bloodshed aud border troubles. Sen
ator Berry locked very bard al the
President, to be certain he was not
Joking, aud then exclaimed: Mr..
President, that is the m S; absurG
thing l ever hesrd Of" Then the
Senator we1t on to explain that the
Cher1kees we've civilized; that they
did not wear BIZ n els and cary toma-
hawks; that thy had Cherokee
schools, institutions, government,
wr,ts and laws. In short, there was
no mora likelihood OF an uprising of
CnerokeeJ than there was OF any
farming community in New York
Stae. Mr.. Cleveland reverted to a
protest against these right of way bills
which was filed with him by Chief
Bushy head and the Cherobes dele
gates on Monday last To this the
Senator replied that there was certain
ly come misapprehaDs'on. He had
conveisei with Chief Bus1yhssd
about the Arkar SIS Valley charter
Only a few days before, and the chief
ad declared himself in favor OF it.,
saying it would be OF great beneti. to
the Onerokees "And il you don't be-
lieve it," sid Senator Berry emphst
cally, send for Chief Bushyhead. I'll
guarantee that he will acknowledge II
in my presence" Then the Senator
told the President wha! this roa
meant to the people Of the STATE, aud
how they were oppressed. There wa
no competit on against the Iron Noun
tain road. Their vast limb lands
were shut off from the prsiries of Kan
sss and beyond. The proposed road
would tuinlsh short route from the
great grain country to the South, aud
at length the Senator concluded by
saying as forcibly as he knew how
that if the President wanted to give
Arkansas black eye be could not
fad better way than to veto the Ar
kansas Valley bill,

THE Greenville Times, a paper that
is edited with unusual ability and
is especially intelligent upon all mat
tiers connected with the levees, levee
construction and river improvement,
referring to the stupidity transparent
report OF Senator Van Wyck, which
indorses the Lake Borgne outlet sys-
tenn, makes an excellent poiut in the
following sentences: "As to the fact
which is the only argument neces-
sary, we will merely say that it is
not the ocean level which is sought,
or which presents the commerc al
difficulties the jetties design removal
of. The real trouble is the ocean
depths. These are as far removed
from New Orleans via Lake Borgne as
by way OF the jetties, without the
Mississippi river an avenue thereto"

THERE has been much said about the
large exports of gold this year; but
the Indicator shows that for the four
months since January 1, the total ex-
ports of gold wee only $50, 100000, or
over $4,000 600 less than was reported,
while the imports were i3SS3,3l3,
leaving the net exports only a little
over $l9,0O0,0O0, which is certainly
not very large amount Some of the
gold stats icians have insisted upon
reporting the gold exports since De.
cember l, 1885, but they will prob
ably do so no longer. The exports in
December were only Sl,7SO,97l, while
the imports were $500 9l, so that
the net imports were about SO, 500, 900
This would reduce the net export OF
gold for the four months December /,
1885, to April 80, 1886, to only about
SIS, 100000.

THE Greenville Times reports the
past week as being another, the
fourth, of dry, rainless weather. In
over four weeks there has been but
l0.lC0:hs of rain fall. With all cotton
that was late in being planted, or
where the land was very badly pre-.
pared, the yie'd now depends upon
the frost date. Other cotton is looking
thriving aud well. So is the early
corn. The crop OF the latter, however,
is already doomed to be shor. and in
