business Situation.

From Bradstreet's.
SAvANNAH-Genera wholesale bus
mess shows improved demand. Col
lectionS are fair
ATLANTA-Jobbing is satisfactory
and manufacturers are fairly active
Collections are poor.
CHARLEsToN-Gen trade is fair,
but collections are slow. The outlook
for a good crop is more favorable.
All lines feel encouraged over tariff
settlement.
RICHMOND-Tariff settlement has
had the effect of establishing u better
feeling generally in this section,
though as yet, with the exception of a
slight rise in the price of liquors, little
practical change has taken place.
BALTIMORE-A better feeling seems
to exist in general trade, and there is
marked Improvement in buying.
There is a better feeling prevailing
and stocks are being replenished.
Large dealers in various lines look for
a steady Improvement. A good fall
and winter trade is looked upon as as
sured. This improvement in trade
prospects will, it is thought, be grad
ual and steady.

Winston, as Usual, Leads in Revenue
Collections and Shipments of
Manufactured TOBACCO

The leaf market Of this city the past
week was without special feature, the
receipts being of fair size and the
character and stock showing no i'm
provement. The demand is good for
the good, and the occasional piles of
these.kinds always bring prices salts
factory to the sellers. Place somehow
Is found for the common at the usual
figures, but there has been such an
oyer-supDly of the lower grades this
year that if the growing crop should
unfortunately turn out badly and the
nondescripts, etc, be so abundant
next season, they will go for song
or less.
Good news from the crop, tho ugh,
keeps coming in, and the prospects in
this section are as good as could be
reasonably asked for. The general
outlook in the South is also excellent,
although some scattering damage has
been done lately by hail and freshet.
In the manufacturing line the ship
ments were larger than the week be-
fore, and quite good business for the
time of year. Over one hundred and
seventyfive thousand pounds of man
ufactured tobacco were shipped. The
passage of the tariff bill encourae es
the hope of a fair fall trade.

IL
The Hunters.
The woods and fields, West of Win

morning with stirring music made by
a pack of % fox hounds on ''hot"
fox trail.
a number of both ladies and gentle
men from the city were in the hunt
ing party. All were we'll mounted on
good horses and report most enjoya-
bic chase.
The trail was made by dragging a
stuffed fox on the ground.
The principal scene of the chase
was on the property OF the West End

Davis School and the ZinZendOrf ho-
tel site
The party was composed Of the fol-
lowing Winston people: Mr.. and Mrs.

THE DANvILLE MARKET.
The Registers Review of the Week
Ending Aug 18th.

For the week ending Saturday there
was much tobacco brought into the
city and double sales at the eleven
loose leaf warehouses lasted well up
into the afternoon each day. The
stock marketed was about the same
as that offered the past several weeks,
there being only few desirable grades
in the deliveries.
Everything of character IS selling
we'll, and prices for such goods are full
ly maintained. 1t would seem from
the quantity of the weed being brought
to town, that the farmers are clean
ing out their barns to make room for
the new crop.
The sales at the eleven loose leaf
warehouses for the week amounted to
a fraction over 800, 900 pounds. The
manufacturers had a somewhat bet
ter week than the week before last,
the aggregate shipment of plug and
twist amounting to within a fraction
of 123, 900 pounds. The stamp collec-
tions amounted to 81 1897 SO.

A COLORED MAN KILLED.
One of the Excursionists From Daa-
viIle-Au Accident.

Between eight and nine hundred
colored people arrived here between
one and two o'clock last Monday on
an excursion from Danyille. There
were eight cars and they were all
crowded.
An excursionist was killed at Reds
vile as the train was pulling out from
the town. His name was Tom Lewis,
from Danyille.
1t appears that Lewis was hanging
out from the car steps by the hand
rail after the train had gotten up con-
siderable speed, and was struck 10y a
switch handle.
The blow was received between the
eyes, full length of the face. The
bones were broken and face horribly
mangled.
The conductor had ordered the ne
gro off the steps repeatedly but he
persisted in keeping his position.
while he was not dead when the train
left him, yet it was generally conceded
that there was no possible chance for
him to live more than very few
minutes
