rhe GOOD Tlme COMING.

A protector and promoter of new enter
prlses, who has just returned from the
North, says; The feeling there is that
the Southern boom, which was checked
sixteen months ago, is about to be revived.
Money is so plentiful and cheap in New
York shat any amount of it can be obtained
for legitimate investments. A few days
ago the bank surplus was $50, 900, 000. Call
money could be had on any terms. Capital
lists have drawn the money there until they
have millions more than is needed for the
transaction of business. This money can
not be allowed to lie idle. The owners want
it to bring them interest, and they will put
it out. The South is the most inviting
field. All the investments made here have
turned out well. When the Barring failure
occurred, and general financial stringency
resulted, some Southern enterprises felt
the depression severely. But I believe
that the South will be able to get this very
year plenty of money for the development
of railroads and mines and manufactures,
and we are now, in my Judgment, on the
eve of the most prosperous era we have
ever enjoyed"

The Sugar situation.

In their weekly review, the sugar firm OF
Willet & Gray. say;
European markets for raw sugar con-
tinued fairly strong through the week, and
our buyers accepted quite large quantity
OF centrifugals from Cuba at the current
quotations without asking for further de-
cline. One day some 80, 600 bags were
taken in Cuba for Boston at this price for
shipment. There appears TO be no DISPOSE
tion for either buyers or sellers to change
the quotation for the present. Cuba is no
doubt satisfied to dispose OF. certain part
of the crop as rapidly as wanted by the
United States refiners, and even a strong
market in Europe at above our parity prices
will not make much if any difference in
Cuba Just at this time. 1t will be a pleas
ure TO refners whenever Muscovados from
the West Indies begin to be offered, as they
will be next month.
For refined sugars the feature Of the
week has been an earnest desire by many
grocers to avail of the present low prices to
secure stock of granulated for future de-
livery Many attempts have been made
to purchase in 10000 barrel lots, but all re-
fners have declined the business except for
prompt delivery. p

cause decline of 5 points, but the market
subsequently, reacted and we closed 2 points
better than last night All things
considered, the market on this
side keeps very steady and
this, in view Of the continued large move
meut, which at ports to-day is $4,000 bales

pool will be more inclined
now to place credence in the increased crop
estimates, and if they become convinced
generally that this crop is s, 750, 600 bales or
over, there will be but little or no response
from that market, without whose assistance
we do not think any permanency can be
established for an advance. We have so
often referred to the necessity of securing
the support Of European markets,
especially Liverpool, to create better con-
dltiou of things on this side, as

opinion we think it must be that of any
one who will look at the situation from the
point of supply, whether it refers to cot
ion or any other commodity. The interior
movement promises literally this week with
no reduction of stock worth mentioning. If
Liverpool does not improve tomorrow we

I thursday, following the previous advances
Of 10 TO Is points on the securities directly
C concerned. those stocks further rose from
3 to 10 points, and minor but yet large adj
ances were made upon every stock that
has the remotest connection with the coal
traffic. Other stocks generally have sym
pathized with the coalers to the extent of
being frmer. but without any conspicuous
advances What the later effects of this
state of things on the general market may
be It is not easy to foreshadow The first
thing in order is a settling down of the ex-
element and initiation on the ''coalers -
which will involve a good deal of realizing
on these stocks, and may afford an oppor-
tunity for the "bears.n There has been
some disposition, however, to extend buy
ing into other stocks, and at the moment
the feeling is developing in the direction
of a generally stronger market The Read
ing excitement will probably be found to
have left behind keener speculative feel
ing among the general run of operators and
a disposition among capitalists TO try their
hands at some other like expedients for
suddenly and largely advancing the value
of their properties. 1t will have been dem
onstrated that Wall street, in spite of its
late conservative mood, Is still susceptible
of great exeitements and quickly respou-
sive TO the right sort ofsincitement to buy
ing Such differences are likely to be
drawn from the events of this week by
speculative leaders; and it would not be
surprising if the results should appear
later on in a revival of great activity
through the general list. The only menace
at the moment is the probability of gold
exports, the possibilities of which operators
much watch closely, as in the event of a
few millions being taken from the sub
treasury for shipment, it would seriously
check the prevailing 'bull' spirit.

Clews on stocks.

New YORK. Feb. 13-During the past
week the whole course of business at the
stock exchange has undergone a change
and been disturbed by extraordinary devel-
oDments in connection with the coal roads.
Al first indefinite rumorS came from Phila-
delphia and other sources of an impending
great "dealr between some of the leading
anthracite corporations; but, as there was
al the time a large outstanding short"
interest on these same properties, the re-
ports were construed as merely designed
Tor transient speculative effect That being
the view taken of the situation and the
prices of these stocks having advanced
rapidly Notwithstanding, the market became
apprehenSive of Il burst of some great COM
bination operation, and most stocks outside
the coalers were virtually neglected.
On Wednesday the fact was authoritively
acknowledged that an important deal had
been already consummated as between the
reading, the Central of New Jersey and
the Lehigh Valley railroad companies, cal
culated TO have important future bearings
upon those companies, If not upon the en-
tire production and distribution of anthra-
cite. The purpose OF the arrangement IS 10
place the Lehigh Valley and the Central of
New Jersey under the direct control of the
Reading; not through lease, which would
lie Illegal in the states through which the
road runs, but through trust arrangement
which 1t is assumed will hold good in law.
Inc plan is very much the same as that I'M
der which. the Chicago gas company con-
trolls the several corporations of which it is
composed. A majority of the stock of the
Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central is placed
in escro in the hands of a trustee and in be-
half Of the Reading, and the latter COM
pany places in the custody of said trustee
certain amount Of interest-bearing securi-
ties, TO insure the fulhllment of the engage
ments undertaken by Reading towards the
two other companies. Reading guarantees
dividends upon the stock of the Lehigh
Valley at the rate of per cent until July
!, 1892; at per cent from that date until
July l, 1898, and at per cent from and
after that date. After July l. 1884, Z per
cent is guaranteed, and any surplus above
that is TO be divided equally between Read
ing and Lehigh Valley until 10 per cent is
paid to the latter, when the Reading will
take all further surplus. Reading guaran-
tees Z per cent henceforth on New Jersey
Central stock, and divides equally any sur
plus above that amount with the latter
company. The directors of the two minor
roads will be given full representation with
the directorate Of the Reading.
As to the immediate effect there u no
room for o second opinion After its eau
ton pending the mere runior stage of the
negotiation, Wall street rushed into wild
Excitement over the accomplished fact, On

DECATUR, TEX, Feb. 16.-Capt E. G.
Douglass, superintendent of the Rusls peni-
tertiary, was in the city yesterday, and in
company with your reporter and number
of our best citizens, called on Bob Campbell
at the jail for the purpose of interviewing
him in regard to the statement published
in THE GAZETTE of the 18th instant, as to
the treatment of convicts at Rusk. Camp
bell admitted that the punishment of con-
victs, other than himself, was only hear
say, but maintains that the statement re-
garding himself is absolutely true, and
that the punishment he received was for
entering into conspiracy to escape, but
that the guard first suggested it and die
tated the letters written byshim.
