Early-Lacy

1t will be remembered by our readers
that General Early refused to recognize
Maj. j. Horace Lacy at the unwilling of
the Lee statue in Richmond General
Early denied Major Lacy's statement
that General Lee said if. he had to select
a successor to himself to command the
Army of Northern Virginia, he would
have chosen Malone
This led to newspaper articles in which
each gentleman denounced the -other.
Since the Richmond episode, Major La
cy has waXed warm, and last week pub
lished statement in the Lance de-
nounced Early as drunkard and a
blackguard. He says he twill not per-
nit a man of Early's character and repu-
tation to insult me without such re
sentiment as gentleman should show. ;"
He promises to furnish history of Ear
ly's war record, showing how utterly
useless he was in the Confederate army.

Two thirds Of business week, of Which the
first two days are taken up by the process OF
preparing for ana distributing July disburse-
ments, has very little to individualize it, The
most significant features in sight are the esti-
mates of the business done in the first six
months of 1880. The bank clearings at 81 cities
in June showed a gain OF 7.3 per cent, and 40
cities for the six months ending June 30 show
an average gain OF 9.5 per cent, which is l3 per
cent. outside of New York city. The railroad
construction is estimated at 1900 miles. as
against 4aO miles in the first half of 1889 Brad
streets publishes reports of 1856 failures in the
United States and Canada, a decrease of 452
The liabilities less than in either 1885 or 1859
Encouraging reports come from nearly all
parts of the country; in fact, to paraphrase a
catch word of the abolition days, prosperity is
national and depression sectional. Even that
Is only approximately true, for depression is To-
cal rather than sectional and may be said to be
confined to industries or lines of trade that are
exceptionally situated The seasonable W Gather
is having a distinctly favorable effect ON the
market for cotton and light wooden fabrics, and
an active fall trade is expected The close of
the crop year finds 81 600 600 bushels Of wheat cal
ried over against 81 600 600 bushels year age;
1921 93S bushels of corn an increase of 6,S9O37
and l,429, S7S barrels of wheat -four, an increase
strong on the prospects of good sized exports
The wheat on hand is the smallest supply for
Ave years, except that of last year
The expectations of large railway construc-
ton during the latter half of the year are
strengthening the iron Market particularly in
the matter of steel rails and other track sup
plies There is steady inquiry for rolling stock,
and even old iron rails have had a notable in
crease of demand. An important part OF the
business done Just now consists of deliveries on
back orders, and the new buying will to some
extent be kept waiting, and accumulate as it in
creases In volume. Still the producing capacity
of the country is up tOconsumption in the lower
grades of iron manufacture and at the rate at
which Southern towns are developing special
ties, production will not let consumption run
away from it in any line. Manufacturers of
barb wire and other agricultural supplies are
heavy buyers of raw material.
Bank reserves considerably increased
last week, the Sub Treasury well the inte-
rior sending in more than it absorbed. Money
is easy and the general feeling confident. If the
Senate will promptly finish its work on the Tariff
bill and the conference committe its incubation
on the Silver bill, that both can be sent to the
President within few days, the relief from
uncertainty will come In time to insure a very
| prosperous fall season, though less so than the
country undoubtedly would have enjoyed had
| the business legislation been out Of the way by
July /.

The Silver Bill.

The silver question has been finally
decided. The Republican Senators hav-
ing agreed upon 4,5OO, 900 ounces as the
amount to be purchased monthly, the
question was submitted to the Demo
cratic members of the committee, Senator
Harris, of Tennessee, and Representa-
tive Bland, of Missouri, both of whom
voted against it.
It is said to be practically new bill,
and the policy of the government is de-
claFsd to be to maintain the two precious
metals on parity, upon an established
legal ratio.
