KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 24-TSpeciall
1t seems that complications are aris-
ing on all sides. The troops object and
some say they will not go to the mines
as guards to convicts, and il they insist
on this there is no law compelling them
to go. There is great dissatisfaction
among them. The governor seems to be-
nonplussed as 70 what course to pursue.
although he realizes that something
must be done and quickly. 1t is re-
ported that the sheriff says he has no
need for posse OF soldiers, as he has
no processes to serve and there is at
present no mob to put down.
Following is copy of the agreement
which the miners have come to and
which is considered settlement of the
mine trouble:

an important letter from j. Ii. Manley,
of Augusta, Me-, in response to a letter
written by him on the 18th instant. Tho
subjects OF inquiry on the part OF Mr..
Gavitt were the health OF Secretary
Blainc and his attitude affecting the
earnest desire of multitude of his ad :
mirers in the Republican party that he
become it's standard bearer in 1892.
The replies are especially significant,
when 1T is remembered that Mr. Manlcy
has been for years warm personal
friend and political conidant and adj
wiser of the distinguished Secretary Of
State. In effect Mr. Manley asserts
that MIR. Blaine's health is almost fully
regained, and that he will return to
Washington in the fall with all his vigor
and strength OF both mind and body.
lie further states that Mr.. Blaine can
not become a candidate for the Repubi-
can nomination, but that in his opinion
if the Republican party wants him for
standard bearer in 1S92, all it has to do
is to nominate him, and he will accept.

DUNN's REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Crop Prospects Grow Brighter, but
Money Still Tight.


NEW York, July Especial r..
&. Dunn IL Co.'S weekly review OF trade
will say: Reports Of the condition of
trade are generally more favorable than
week ago. At the West the crop
prospect is stimulated everywhere.
Chicago reports wheat receipts five times
last years, an increase of 30 to so per
cent. in dressed beef hides and butter,
but some decrease III cured meats and
lard.
AT the South little change is noted
and money is generally tight and trade
inactive, but crop prospects decidedly
improved in Alabama. Sugar is active
and firm at New Orleans, and trade
holds its own at Savannah. The sus-
pension of a bank at Palatka causes
some depression in trade there, but
heavy purchases of tobacco at Kew Vest
show unusual activity in cigar-making.
business in Florida is moro promising
than last year.
Speculation in breadstuffs has sud
denly become active. Sales of As, 900, 600
bushels of wheat has resulted in an ad :
vance of 315 cents per bushel, though
the moderate ovcrestimate Of this years
crop would leave nearly 200, 900, 900
bushels in the country for export. q
quantity greater than has ever yet been
taken abroad. Corn has declined cents
and oats 1 u cents on small trade, hav-
ing been unnaturally high. Pork prod
ucts rise again, and speculation in them
is foreshadowed. Coffee remains I'M
changed, and oil is 4 higher, while cot
ton has fallen y to cents for spot. with
