NV YoRK. August 3.-R g. Dun ! Co..
weakly review of trade says:
Business continues dragging and dull. In
csmmsrcial circles there seems to b q very
general and growing confidence that bust
nsss this fall Will Be large and profitable.
Some improvement is seen hut not enough
- Jet to justify sanguins views.
Trade at the south 10 peculiarly depressed

pazh Of tie west where crops failed last gear
trade has not recovered from the great do
preston resulting, and - long a. The corn
crop il in doubt, complete recovery is not to
b expected.
In several states legislation hostile to CAPT
til causes much disturbance. Further col
lapse OF real estate speculation in many parts
OF tho west and south has brought losses
ana embarrassment to many.
Az tne east the monetary concerns have
powerful influence. Crop failures IN Russia
Will only help this country in the end.

Chicago reports the receipts of wheat at
seven times last years; of rye, cured meats,
lard and wool double last years; of dressed

cheese and butter.
Dry goods sales are slightly larger and
good orders are seen for clothing and shoes.
Throughout tho northwest tho prospects
of crops is exceedingly good, but at Kansas
City wet weather interferes with harvesting.
The great Industries show no important
chsnge for the week, though it must b said
that the disheartenment In the woollen goods
trade seems to increase, and it is admitted
that sales are not equal to last years, though
trade was dragging then. Much of the trou-
BILE II attributed to excessive credits in the
clothing trade.
The coal trade is still depressed by sxces-
cessive production, the output exceeding last
years to date by 2, zoe, 600 tons.

PE.EE.

The Herald and News would like to
suggest q council Of peace. What is
the use Of white men and brethren
abusing each other? We all seem to
admit that there is something wrong.
That the people are depressed. That
there is some relief to be secured by
legislation and that something is
needed. We are in South Carolina all
white people and all interested in a
common destiny, and all want to see
the relief that is desired. Then, what
is the use or the sense Of abusing each
other and fighting one another. Why
not put the politicians aside and all
agree on some cause that will bring the
relief desired. That seems to Us to be
the best plan to be pursued. If ma
iority of the white people Of South
Carolina want the sub-treasury, etthem
so instruct their representatives. If
they decide upon something else, why
let us have that, butin any event there
is no sense in abusing one another. Let
us get together like men and settle
this thing.
