occurrence which took place some time ago,
and which was recounted to me by one Of the

decorated. Quite number OF ladies accepted
the invitations, and, it is needless to say, a
larger number did not.
1T was when the carriages arrived that a
climax was reached which had comedy features
never seen on any stage. One of the carriages
had unfortunately locked wheels with vulgar

The Board of Trade Report.

The annual report Of Capt. Purse. presi-
dent of the board Of trade, read yesterday
at the meeting Of the board, shows that
notw outstanding the depressed condition Of
business in the south, owing to the low price
OF cotton, Savannah's export trade has not
fallen Off The naval stores trade is in a
decidedly healthy condition and the lumber
| trade is prosperous, There has been little
falling Off in the receipts Of cotton. owing
to the comparatively light crop in the ter
ritory tributary to Savannah, and also be-
cause the railroad situation has been
such as to prevent as great
an effort being made to bring cotton
here as was made last year. However, 1t is
probable that at the end Of the cotton sea-
son Savaunah's receipts will not be greatly
behind those OF last year.
Capt Purse calls attention to the SUCCESS
that has attended the efforts in behalf Of
deeper water In our harbor. and he voices
| the feelings of the whole community when
he says that there is profound satisfaction
at the prospect that not only will there be
an unusually large appropriation for harbor
work for the next fiscal year, but also that
the plan for carrying on tho work continu-
ously until completed, recommended by the
river and harbor committee, will be
approved.
Savannah has not as mucn reason to com
plain of the depression that exists in the
south as some OF the other southern cities.
She feels the depression, Of course, but at
the same time, she is confident OF her ability
to stand the strain upon her resources De-
preston that comes from overproduotion
is likely to disappear soon, and when it does
she will be ready to take advantage of bet
ter times.
And the change in the railroad situation
has brought about much better feeling.
The return Of the Central's headquarters to
this city will help great many interests,
and business men feel that IN future they
will not be annoyed by delays in the settle
ment of their accounts.
The board Of trade is not only helping the
city from business standpoint, but 1t is
helping to improve the city by putting ex
tensive improvements on its building.
