An Indication thar Business Conditions are
More Favorable.

BALTIMORE, MD, May S.-The Manu-
facturer's Record. in its weekly review
Of the southern business conditions, says:
Reports from travelling statesmen and
others show that business conditions
throughout the South are more favorable
than i'm any other section. This Is EN-
phasized by the fact that no CoNey
army recruits have come from any part
of the southern States. not even from
Baltimore, though so close TO Washing
ton. The tendency OF population and capl-
tai southwark is becoming more pronoun-
ccd. and the prospGts are promising
for a decided revival In activity in TINS
section in advance Of any other.

will reach at least three-fOurths or its
value. This was the most valuable part
Of the works. The roof was very light
and as little wood work was used in

owing TO the great risk from fire. Mr..
