In the general market the situation is with
out new interest. There is no marked i'm
movement in the general volume of the lead
ing markets. Cotton has been very quiet and
naval stores have been dull for the past few
days Business, however, in the jobbing
trades was much better than was expected
and with the expected visitation of a
large number of merchants from Flor
ida. who will arrive next Tuesday,
the expectations for a large business will be
fully realized. Savannah is the best market
for that section and the trade here are amply
able to take care of it. Holiday goods are
now being ordered and the merchants are
busy in that line. The grocery trade show 5
more activity than during the previous week.
collections are steady. Money is easy and in
fair demand. The retail houses are making
desperate strides to secure business
and their sales have greatly increased during
the past week. The general outlook is good
and every merchant is looking for a brisk
trade from now on until the New Year. The
following resume of the weeks business will
show the tone and the latest closing quota
tons of the different markets to-day;

Vest Declares Himself

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13-There is re-
ported very significant occurrence
in the senate finance committee
Thursday. A motion was made author
izing the chairman to introduce a
bill to amend the law governing the
issue of national bank notes to per-
NIT the issue OF notes to par value
of the bonds deposited in security
thereof. This was agreed to, after
discussion, by majority of 2l. Then
it was proposed to authorize the
chairman to report a bill to repeal
the silver purchase clause of the
Sherman law, whereupon Vest is said
to have made speech denouncing
the proposition and notifying its
friends that no bill which ignored
silver could pass the Senate. Under
the influence of the remarks of Vest
the committee unanimously recon-
sidered its action on the currency
question and adjourned.

Silver Meeting At Stockton.

STOCKTON, Aug. l3-A large mass
meeting was held on Hunter square
Saturday night to give expressions to
the opinions OF many Stockton people
on the silver question. The meeting
was addressed by ex-Congressman
Loutitt; f. IL, Gould, speaker Of the
last assembly; j. A. Plummer, an
attorney here, and Mrs. G. A. Merrill
an effective talker OF the Peoples
party.
At the close OF the meeting reso!u-
tions were adopted to be sent to con-
gress and the president urging the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
at a ratio of Is to /. The resolutions
declare that the United States is big
enough to coin her own silver dollar
and give it the power to discharge a
debt of a hundred cents without
the consent OF England or American
traitors.

The People Appealed To.

WAsnINGToN, Aug. 13.-Tbe execu-
tive committee appointed at the
Chicago silver convention met ysster-
day, and last night issued tan 2peal
to the people" signed A. j. Waraer,
chairman. and George e. Washburn,
secretary. The appeal says, in part Z:
aThe unconditional repeal Of the
present silver law viii ~ once stop
all increase in currency, place the
country on single gold standard,
and at one stroke change all debts to
gold debts, with the certainty that
gold viii thereafter continue to in
crease in value at an accelerated rate"
The address then comments Oh the
present financial disturbance and
says: "Can this country be improved
by shutting off its money supply and
still further restricting the volume of
currency? This is time when more
money and not less ia needed. 1t is
futile to suppose that credit, already
oyerexpanded, can BE- made to take
the place OF money. There is work,
but no money to pay ior it.
The appeal then calls upoa the
people everywhere to lay aside party
differences and to assemble, as our
fathers did OF old, and PASS resolu-
tions calling upon their senators and
representative in congress 60 resist
the repeal Of the present siiyeT law,
unless couplei with provision re-
storing the free coinage oi gold and
silver as it existed under the law
prior the passage OF the fraudulent
act OF 1873"
The appeal recommends the reading
Of the Chicago convention silver plat
form at all assemblages, the writing
OF letters to representatives and sena-
tors, and, in fact, the making OF
vigorous campaign against repeal.
The address concludes: "It is as
important now that we free ourselves
from the financial domination OF
Europe as it was for our fathers to
free themselves from the political
domination OF foreign power. Let
this movement be the spontaneous
action of free people, conscious that
the government is yet in their hands,
and conscious, too, OF their rights and
with the will to maintain them"

REPRESENTATIVES TALk.
Lack of Interest Displayed in
the Silver Debate.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
The Executive Committee Appointed at
Chicago Says That We Must Free
Ourselves from European Domination
In Financial Affairs---Vest Speaks Out


debate in the house yesterday did
not attract much public interest.
The knowledge that no vote &c n pos
siblv be reached until August %
causes members to take little interest
in the proceedings. Many members
have left for the seaside, resolved to
remain until it should be time for
them 60 return to deliver speeches,
nearly every man having one in
preparation on the financial situa-
tion. 1t seems likely that the daily
spectacle in the house for the next
two weeks will be that of an impas-
stoned individual delivering a fiery
speech to score or two of his per-
sonal lriendsand an array Of 200 or
500 empty benches.
When the house adjourned yester-
day there were not more than 80 rep
resentatives in the hall.
The debate yesterday was opened
by Wheeler OF Alabama. Morse, Re-
publican, OF Massachusetts, followed
Wheeler. He heartily approved OF
the president views in regard to the
repeal Of the purchasing clause OF the
sherman act, though he believed the
present depression was not entirely
due to that act. 1t came from the
threats Of the Democrats to pass tariff
legislation.
Harter, Democrat, OF Ohio followed
Morse in favor of repeal. He had
little controversy with the Republi-
cans, in which he charged the Re-
publican party with being response
bic for the present situation, but eu-
logized Sherman for his attitude at
the time of the passage OF the law
which bears his name. Instead of
being abused, Sherman should receive
the grateful thanks OF the whole peo-
pie.
Harter was followed by Hendrix Of
New York in favor of the repeal OF
the Sherman law, and then Bowers,
Republican, spoke for the free coinage
OF silver, and doing so cast slur
upon political platforms, declaring
that no party platform amounted to
anything, nor was it ever intended to
mean anything. He referred to the
scarcity of small currency, and raised
a laugh by stating that he went into
drugstore yesterday morning to get
something which cost Is cents and
could not get any change. The free
coinage of silver would relieve the
present depression. This nation
could make its own money for its
own people, and if England wanted
to put up the bars, all right. This
great country, which could produce
every necessity and every luxury,
must not surrender to little island
which must depend upon what it
could obtain from other nations.
This question was not u partisan one
it was a business one, and as such it
should be considered.
Delegate Rawlins, Democrat, Of
Utah lent his voice in favor OF free
coinage, and at the conclusion of his
remarks the house adjourned until
Monday.

a Noted Trial.

Last Saturday at Franklin war
concluded the trial Of John Lam
bertson, Oliver Wright and Corda.
liza Wright, Il : murder Of Isaac
Lehman, q 80 trader Who was
foully killed near Morgan City last
winter. The Picayune gives the
following account Of the close Of the
trial:
District Attorney, Gordy closed
the argument for the state. His al.
dress was a masterpiece Of eloouepea
in which the evidence offered by the
prosecution was carefully revised.
At IL o'clock Judge Allen ON.
menced his charge 10 the Jury. az.
ter carefully reviewing the evidence
and explaining the law governing
the case, Judge Allea concluded his
address, which was both lengthy
and able. At 1915 the jury retired
10 consider their verdict,
The case vas iercely fought BY
both. sides from a legal standpoint.
During the argument Mr.. Pagan, OF
Pexas, one of the counsel for the de-
Tense, referred to Mr.. Pardonner. Of
Indiana, a lawyer assisting the state
in the prosecution, and styled him
the halfway lawyer, the detective
from Indiana who was down here
for the purpose of fabricating eYi-
dence. He further stated that a GER
tain watch chain on the picture of
the deceased which had been intro
duced in evidence, was photograph
ed onto the picture for the purpose
Of the trial. These remarks raised
the ire of the district attorney, and
in his address he sailed In with en-
phatic language, attacking the law
yer from Texas, whom he said had
falsely charged the parish of st. Ma
# with having attempted to fabri-
cate evidence. He concluded By
stating that he did not know what
Mr.. Pagan was, but that be did
know that Mr.. Pagan was from the
state accused claimed as their native
home.
While The inrv were considering
their verdict. Wright and his wife
appeared to be wholly unconcerned
az to what it might he. Lambert.
