Send me down a sack Of sugal

"Send me down a sack of sugar, at
once. please, said a manager of
benevolent institution to Main Street
grocer yesterday. The latter nodded
pleasantly. "And what is it WORTH"
asked the former. mine dollars to
day" There was a prolonged whistle
Sugar" explained the merchant to a
reporter who stood near, has been
steadily climbing in price for over
three weeks past Each day has seen
an increase, and in some instances, it
was most decided one. Three weeks
ago it sold at 1926; now, as / have
SAID, it is SO and / should not be at
all surprised if it were to advance
considerably high. Late advices from
New York say the sugar trust it about
to increase the price l cent a pound,
the reasons given being the heavy
demand and the poor crop Of raw
material An expert is reported to
have made a prediction that sugar
would be ! cent per pound higher by
September. The consumption is about
one pound per week per capita the
year round, but during the months of
June, August and September, when
canning and preserving are popular,
the consumption is almost double
that quantity. A friend of the trust
combination said it was mistake to
attribute the continued advance in
the price of sugar to the Searles ring.
1t it the trust that consumers and
dealers have chiefly to do with, and
SO, when the price is put up, it is de.
clared to be an arbitrary act on the
part Of Manager Scales. The truth is.
said the friend of the combination.
that the advance is due to the scarci.
~ Of raw sugar, which has lately gone
up. Others believe the market will
will have slack spell, and the price
will remain rather steady until next
month. The combine is turning out
10000 barrels day, and clearing
$4,000. If it 50 pleases, it can In.
crease the price 5 cents, and the con.
sumer will be obliged to pay it. II

The commercial situation in the
east, according to the latest from r.
g. Dun & Co., changes little, but on
y for the better. Crop prospects grow
more favorable with every week Of
satisfactory weather, and the hopeful
feeling thus produced throughout the
west and south is felt Immediately in
some increase Of trade. Financial ap-
prehensions are nowhere of weight at
present; money is superintendent, and
the belief prevails that the Treasury
will prevent pressure or disturbance.
Such is the spirit almost everywhere
controlling and business depends so
largely upon sentiment that hopeful
expectations count for more than
present dulness. All over the country
the inactivity usual at this season ap-
pears to be in tensified by special
causes; by doubts regarding the tariff,
by wars of rates, by labor disturbances.
or by crop uncertainties. Yet there
is everywhere confidence that better
business is near at hand, and every
where people are preparing for a
season of unusual activity. The bust
ness of transportation is much demon
allied by cutting of rates, and the
growing irritation threatens to bring
more serious reduction before long,
and yet there Is a prevailing faith
that all quarrels will be adjusted
somehow, when traffic becomes large
though no one can quite see how.
While nearly all the great branches
of manufacture are affected by un.
certainties as to the tariff, the i'm.
preston grows in business circles
that nothing will be done at Wash.
ington this year, and that the bust
ness kept back by uncertainty will
swell the volume of trade after Con
gress.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Memphis Theater.

Roland Reed amused quite a good
audience last night Us Samuel Bundy in
1.-THE Woman Hater," comedy which
belonged to John T. Raymond's repertory.
The story is Of Samuel Bundy, a rich and
retired merchant, who is famed as q
woman hater, but Is in reality too bash.
full admirer Of the sex. His sensitiveness
has led him to encourage his friends mis-
taken opinion OF him, until at last his
modesty has broken its bonds and he has
gone in very strongly for matrimony. His
ardor leads him TO propose to three Wild
ows, by each OF whom he is in turn ac-
cepted. Here is the dilemma forming the
basis Of the comedy. At the hand OF Mr..
Reed 1t develops gradually, becoming
more amusing as II progresses; indeed, il
is mirth provoking absurdity and is ex-
cellently well sustained throughout. II
Mr.. Reed could get over that rapidity OF
speech and tone down that peculiar harsh
ness OF his voice which CRATES upon the
ear, his Bundy would be ono OF the very
best characters on the stage. The sup
port rendered by the company was equal
to the requirements Of the roles. "rhe
Woman Halter" will be reproduced at the
Saturday matinee. Tonight "Humbug"
will be given, and on tomorrow night the
engagement will close in "Cheek."
AT tonights performance, also at the
matinee tomorrow, Roland Reed will sing
a number Of new songs aud medleys, some
oil which have never been sang here.

DECATUR, Ala, Nov. S.-Two new cases,
both colored nurses; no deaths. 1t is well
that generous public should know some
thing more OF the sort Of restitution that
prevails in New Decatur. Ten days ago
Mayor Fry stated that they were feeding
600 INDECENT whites and 1000 INDECENT
blacks. Our actual census, taken a few
days ago, showed that the total population
oil New Decatur was less than 800, 30 that
1t seems that they are feeding twice as
many people as the total population Of the
town. This may be all right, but hardly
think that the good people who have sent
contributions TO New Decatur contem-
plated such wholes le and wasteful charity.
II there are 600 whites in New Decatur
do not believe they are all paupers. Be-
fore the outbreak Of the epidemic here the
total black population OF New Decatur
never reached as much as 500, so II Mayor
Fry is feeding 1000 he must import them
from the ad jacent in the meantime
New Decatur has had no yellow fever.
Her stores have been open, country pro-
duce has been bought and her industries
have not been suspended. The Oak Ex-
tracts Works, the Urbana Car Works and
the linens Machine Works have all been in
operation and the work on the Louisville
* Nashville shops has been resumed. In
addition TO this, the cotton fields are white
with the ileecy staple and hands cannot be

when all are fed frceoi charge? And they
propose TO keep il up all tho winter, as
they state in their appeal TO Chicago. II
Is the most shameful abuse Of public

they can find people TO take all they can
get, aud no doubt these people will

strong terms that the help was very

with us, but am sure there is thousand
times more suffering in Chicago than there
