f Early this morning a mid-summe r
norther reached this section of the coun-
! try where the thermometer had been for
! several days fitting around the 100 de-
/ gree point and all to-day the atmos-
phere has been delightfully."- pleasant.
The denizens of the city appear to be in
! fused with new life and renewed energy &,
! and while business has not been improved
by the cool wave every one feels better.
The seven days previous had been the
! hottest of the year, and all during the
period business in all branches dropped
Oft considerably. Retail men and whole
sale men alike reported but little doing
tho ugh it has been no duller-not so dali
in fact-as it usually is at this
season OF the year. Farm
ers are busy with their cotton
crops, and are putting in considerable
time getting out their wheat, which work
had been delayed by the weather
Wheat receipts in this market have
been light during the seven days passed
ending with to-day, and there has been
no change whatever in price, quotations
standing at 70GI 75c per Dushei. Monday
and to-day, however, the receipts were
larger than at any time last week and
heavy receipts may be expected from
now on.
Hides and feed stuffs are dull but firm
at the quotations gwen, but as soon as
the new corn crop begins to come in
drop may be expected III prices for that
commodity.
CAT the close of the market to-day the
%prices for all commodities were as are
given below.
A 2OOO-spindle cotton mill is to be
erected i'll the city of Bessemer, Ala
Ten years ago that place did not have
500 pOpulttl0p. JonesboTo, Ga, ten
years ago an Nfnsisuifcant hamlet, IS
building 10, 000-spi1dSe 4cotton factory.
The prospect for a good trade in T. Jas
is encouraging. The Economist has rfsd /
numerous conversations with Texas mer-
chants, and as rule they feel confident
of doing even better than for some years
past. One merchant said: ''When l
left home twO-thirds of the crop was in
good condition and the other third was
beng put so, and think that the bust
ness this fall will be better than it has
been for seven or eight years back. -
