THE DAVIS MONUMENT.

Gen. John B.. Gordon's appeal for
contributions for a monument to Jetfer-
son Davis should evoke a ready and
substantial response from the hearts
and the purses of ex-Confederates. The
man and the cause for which he stood
deserve that tribute from the veterans
who during four years that tried their
souls looked to him as the head Of the
government to which they gave alleg-
lance. Though that government has
persisted from the face OF the earth, and
its chief lives only IN our memory, they
were worthy of the sacrifices OF the
heroic men and women that strove and
suffered through four years Of warfare.
Time can never efface the record OF the
Southern republic that was born, and
lived and died. in blood: it is part Of
our history, and the men who led its for
tunes, in the council and on the field. are
too indissolIbly linked with it to ever
be forgotten. This monument to Jeffer-
son Davis is not device to perpetuate
his memory, FOR that will live when
marble and brass shall have crumbled:
it is a testimonial of regard from the
people of the South to the president
Of the Confederate States Of America,
which was and is no more.

TRADE REVIEW,
AS Compiled by Bradstreet's
journal for the Week.
THE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING.
Business at All Points Improving, and
Many Things Combined Make Pros
poets Brighter Than for Weeks.
Failures Decrease.

| NEW YORK. May 29-Bradstreet's Re-
| view says: If the prevalent feeling is a
| shade too hopeful, if it gives not enough
| weight 10 the possibilities of disturbance or
| loss that remain, Vet 1t is most encouraging
and most significant of commercial strength
ana soundness that the drain of gold in April
and May has causeh so little apprehension
The most powerful sustaining influence is
the continuance of exceedingly favorable
crop prospects. In general. prices of COM
modities have declined not far from per
cent for the week, and will further decline
as the crop draws near if no disaster comes.
No change is seen in the wooden manu-
facture, though fine domestic fleece is a
little weaker in tone.
The cotton manufacture progresses with
out change, and Eastern failures have
caused especial dizziness in the boot, shoe
and leather trades for the fall season.
AT Kansas City trade is fair, with crop
prospects never better
At St Paul there is an Improvement
AT Minneapolis lumber is active, but -four
very dull.
At Louisville the outlook is brighter.
with manufacturers fully employed.
At Nashville trade is Frightening.
The depression continues at Memphis
sugar Is III better demand at New Or
leans, ard cotton steady at the decline.
Alolasses strong and unchanged.
The only interior markets in which
stringencies are reported are Savannah and
Memphis, though money is firm at New
Orleans. In general, the supply at nearly
all points is adequate for legitimate bust
ness. Clearing house exchanges show
smaller volume OF payment for
May than year ago, but
traffic returns are more favorable and
earnings show gains. The treasury has put
out during the week 81, 800, 900 more money
than taken in, but as exports of gold have
much exceeded that sum circulation of all
kinds has been little reduced.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days
