WILL BRING BETTER MELONS.
Effect Of the Discontinuance OF the
Melon EXCHANGE.

The discontinunnce Of the Georgia and
Carolina Melon Exchange, announced some
days since, appears to have attracted very
little attention in Savannah. Theexchange
had no headquarters here and did no bust
ness here. 1t shipped large quantities of
melons through this port to agsIcies in the
north, but 1t did not affect the local market,
nor interfere with the operations of the
commission merchants.
One commission man said yesterday that
the only effect it would have in the local
market would be to increase the amount Of
melons shipped mere the balance Of the sea-
son, and perhaps give the market a better
quality Of melons. Under the operations Of
the exchange the growers shipped their
melons Of over eighteen pounds weight to
the northern markets, and such melons as
were shipped here were generally small.
The local market is chiefly supplied by
the small growers near the city, who bring
their melons in in wagons, dispOsing
of them by the load or peddling
them from no Use to house, no license being
required Large grow ers near the city fire.
quently being in carloads of melons and
dispose Of them here by retailing them out
themselves. On this account the commits
sion men do not handle as many melons as
they did some years ago.
Notwithstanding the discontinuarce of
the exchange. shipments of melons continue
to go north, the growers handling their
melons on their individual responsibility.
The Savannah commission me1 do not
ship many melons north, as there is very
little money in the business for the risk in
volved, and the transactions are generally
between the grower and the northern com
mission merchant.

PREPARING 40 PUSH THINGS.

Contractor McLaine Getting Every
thing in Shape on the South Bound.
How are you getting along on the South
Bound" a MORNING NEWS reporter in
quired Of Contractor McLaiue yesterday.
"There is very little to say Mr.. Nc.
Laine replied. ia fact, might say that
some wrong impressions have gone out from
statements heretofore published, and |
would much prefer to wait until something
more has been accomplished, and then give
the papers all the information may have
on the subject. You know the contract for
the first thlrty-niue miles has only been
consummated this week, and it could not be
expected that much more than the pre-
liminary arrangements for the work should
be under wav"
You have begun workF'
1.-TWO camps have been established. One
is three miles west Of the Central crossing
and the other where the Mccall road crosses
the line, and about seventeen miles from the
city. In other words about twenty-five
miles have been covered and the men will
begin to clear the right of way next Mon
day. Four other camps will be located on
the line within week or ten days"
when will the grading begin?'
After the right of way is cleared ahead
for distance Of 900 yards or so the grad
ing will begin, and the axmen and graders
will be at work at the same time from that
time on. Not great deal Of progress is
made the first month in railroad building. as
it is the period of getting ready, and after
that the work moves on, as it will in this
case"
Mr. McLaine has a suite of Offices on the
first floor of the Pulaski, where he and his
clerical force are kept busy arranging the
details for the construction work of the first
thirty-nine miles of the South Bound.

The north enjoyed cooler weather yester-
day. The cool wave from the lake region
has spread rapidly southwark aud eastward,

mum temperature throughout New YORK
aud the New England states was about 72o.
The hot spell continues in the western
states. Dakota is the land of blizzards in
winter and of siroccos in summer. The
hot wave developed in that region is slowly
moving eastward aud southwark. Chicago
will feel the effects of it to-day.
The following maximum temperature
shows how the thermometer stood in the
west: Dodge City, Kan, go, North Platte,
Mob, 94', Omaha 94' Kansas City 90, Fort
Smith $40. St. Vincent, in North Mime
sofa, usually about the coolest place in tho
United States, reported $50.
1t was slightly cooler along the south At
lantic coast, but the heat was undiminished
In the interior.
Tho maximum temperature at Savannah
was only 81 and at Charleston So. At
Augusta it was $50. The interior cities
caught it, though. At Memphis it was 93S,
Atlanta $40, Montgomery 96', Mobile 81

The temperature kept up pretty well here
yesterday. Though the maximum was
only So, the mean ran up to S2', only fl
degrees lower. There was IA stiff breeze
blowing nearly all day, and the heat was
not much felt. In fact, it was probably t @
pleasantest day Savannah has enjoyed in
time.
The outlook for to-day is that it will be
just such another day as Yesterday was.
