On All other subiecrs Mr.. Leeds was perfectly
willing 10 speak. As 10 transportation matters

reached their normal state as ye not having
recovered from the drmorsliZation of last year.
The prominent members OF he Traffic Asso-

The peculiar wording of this circular would
indicate that The Southern iaciic Is abont TO
put an END TO The amicable relations which
have existed for some time between 1t and the
Santa Fe. The cause of the trouble so tbe
Southern Pacific officials say. is that certain
privileges gfanted he Santa Fe people to sell

Trade at Manohaster.

Manchester, Nov. 1.-THE Guardian, in
it's commercial article, says: Buyers are
taking only a supply sufficient to meet
current requirements, and in spite of the
fact that the prices are the lowest ever
known, the demand is very slack and
chiefly restricted to lots of moderate di-
mansions. Actual business is rare, ex-
cept at prices which the manufacturers
will not divulge. Wide goods and the
best grades of shirtings meet with some
inquiries, but the offers from India are
small and business drags, There are a
few inquiries for shirtings, dhooties and
fancies from Calcutta, but they are all
most all workable limits. There have
been occasional low offers from China,
for which there have been some trans
actions in fancies, and there has also
been occasional moderate buying for
South America. AS a result of the low
prices in the business in yarns has been
small"

BACK FROM CHARLESTON.
Capt. D. G. Purse Held an Important
Conference With Business Men There.

Capt D. G. Purse, president of the board
of trade, returned yesterday morning from
Charleston, where he went Tuesday to
hold an important conference with the
officers of the commercial bodies and bust
ness men of that city. His visit was on
an invitation from the business men, ex-
tended through Mr.. J. Adger Smythe pres
ident Of the Charleston Cotton Exchange.
The conference was held to consider
LEGISLATION in South Carolina and Georgia,
with rgard to railroads in their relations
to the ports. 1t is desired to secure a
uniformity Of legislation on this line in
the two states, such as will prevent con-
solidations that destroy competition.
Capt Purse says the South Atlantic ports
have no fear of the loyalty to them of
their own lines, but what they are work
ing against are combinations and absorp-
lions, the intent of which is to discrim-
mate against or shut out the ports. The
railroad people here, and in Charleston,
he says, seem ready and willing to take
up for discussion any rate or rates that
NAV appear discriminating, and to do
what they can to remedy the situation.
While in Charleston, on Tuesday night
Capt. Purse was rendered an elegant
complimentary dinner, at which several
impromptu speeches were made. Capt.
Purse says Charleston is forging right
ahead in the organization of her freight
bureau, the business interests having al
ready secured from the city an appropria-
ton of $1,000, which it is thought will
cover all the expenses in connection with
its organization and " intainance.
