DANCE OF THE DOLLARS.
TRADE so LIVELY THAT. EVERY
COIN Is JINGLING.

The Volume of Legitimate Busin ess
Greater Than IL Has Been at This
Season in Any Previous Year-The
Cotton Market Still strong-Products
Naturally Lower.
NEW YORK, May 23-Following is r.
G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade,
issued to-day: Speculation in some lines
is active. The volume of legitimate bust
ness is greater than it has been at this sea-
son in any previous year. Money is COM
paratively easy and commercial credits I'M
disturbed. The volume of business at New
York has been swelied by heavy specula-
ton. and at Boston the sales of stock
are three times those of the same week last
year. But the bank clearings at Boston,
Philadelphia, and Chicago are 30 per cent.
larger than year ago, while the aggregate
at all other points outside of New York is
p per cent. above last year.
RAILROAD EARNINGS.
''1he railroad earnings for May show an
increase of nearly ID per cent, in spite of
the cutting of rates.
Foreign trade is heavy. The exports
from New York in May thus far are IA per
cent. larger than year ago, and the i'm
ports here are per cent. larger.
AT all reporting points collections a re
fair, and there is apparently much con-
fidence in tie immediate commercial
future
Labor strikes are nowhere mentioned as
causing disturbances in trade
The great iron industries also look bet
ter. At Pittsburg there is decided i'm
provenient, pig iron being higher and
Bessemer FULLY 81 per ton, with manu-
featured iron stronger. At Philadelphia
prices have slightly improved, and here the
offerings OF southern iron are fewer.
THE COTTON MARKET.
The cotton market is supported by the
strong tone of the goods trade.
Nothing favorable can be reported of
the WOODEN trade except that makers are
still buying with the hope that change of
the tariff may lesson foreign competition.
Wheat has been stronger, rising 2 cents,
with sales of 80 000, 600 bushels here. and
exports continue fair.
Corn has declined nearly a cent, and oats
have risen as much.
Pork products are all a shade lower.
Coffee is unchanged.
"Oil has risen over cents.
Cotton has risen ZIG, selling at 1873 for
mlddllng uplands, the recorded sales for the
week reaching SIS, 900 bales.
in general the prices of products are
lower than week ago and will naturally
decline as the new crops approach.
TREASURY OPERATIONS.
"Tke treasury has taken in 1880 900
more than 1t has paid out for the week,
but money is unchanged and foreign ex-
change has declined from 81 Sc to 81 IS.
Cheap money abroad helps the buying of
American securities, which still continues,
and seems for the present to afford strong
monetary reinforcement.

ABBEvILLE, GA, May 23.-The research
of the mortgage census enumerator, s. w.
Parker, shows than from Jan. 1, 1880, to
Dec. 81, 1889, there were 1856 mortgages re-
corded in Wilcox county.
During the first four years of this time
seventy-seven were recorded, and of this
number only one has been cancelled on the
record.
There is no doubt that number of them
have been paid and never cancelled
A lot of land in Abbeville, bought few
months ago for s75 on time, was to-day sold
for 1852 50-Sl50 of it in cash.
One man says he wrote nineteen deeds for
the conveyance of land in the town in one
day this week. Abbeville seems to be
catching the spirit of enterprise that con-
trolls Americas and Cordele.
The directors of the Abbeville Investment
and Construction Company held meeting
here to-day.
Rains have been frequent in this section
lately.
w. II. Reynolds and @. w. johnson, the

ATLANTA, GA, May 2S.-Hon. W. C..

known as Anxious Inquirer" with the
assistance of other counsel gained a verdict
to-day in the case of Miss Elizabeth A.
Whitner vs. the Richmond and Danville

A verdict for s4,5s3 was returned. One

side in whose favor the verdict was rem

yesterday the railroad offered $4,000 to
compromise the case.
A BEAUTIFUL PLAINTIFF.
Miss Whltner is a very beautiful and
aristocratic young lady who lives at Ander-
son, s. c., and is related to several families
of high standing in that state. On Nov.
IL, 1888, she was a passenger on one of two
coaches which jumped the track and
tumbled down a steep embankment near
the TUgalo river. Her spine was injured
aud she received other injuries,
one of which permanently stiffened her
knee. When she took the stand she limped.
Yet it appeared that after the accident size
frequently joined in the dance on festive
occasions. This fact seems to have cut
down the amount of. the verdict several
thousand dollars. The wreck in which Miss
Whitner was injured has been prolific Of
damage suits. Another was filed to-day.
