Bradstreet's Report.

New YORK. Aug. 16.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow, Aug II, will say Mid
summer quiet is much more conspic-
uous now than week ago, though
less SO in industrial than in CONNER
cial lines. As rule, leading manu-
featuring industries are exceptionally
busy for the season and it is worth
adding that the increase in output OF.
demand and prices of iron and steel
still continue. Gross and net rail-
road earnings for the first half of the
present year, show very satisfactory
aggregate gains over last year, pc
riod Of great coal and railroad strikes
and of financial depression and de-
rangement. The best showing in net
earnings are made by the central,
western, eastern and southwestern
roads, white the only decreases noted
are in the granger aud southern
roads.
Many in the trade were surprised
by the very unfavorable cotton crop
reports by the government, and the
price of cotton speedily advanced.
Steel billets have also been marked
ap, as well as some varieties Of print
cloths. Quotations on -four, oats,
pork. sugar, copper and wool have
remained firm. but unchanged, while
declines are recorded in Indian corn
on very favorable crop reports by
lard and wheat, Notwithstanding the
statistical strength OF the cereal in
every direction except exports.
There are 1875 business failures re-
ported throughout the United States
this week, compared with 209 last
week; 234 in the ike week of Au
gust, 1894 400 in the corresponding
week during the panic of 1898, and
lS7 in 1892. Throughout the South
ern States general trade remains
quiet, and in some instances quieter
than week ago Mercantile condi-
tions have not begun to improve, and
a. some points jobbers report small
falling off in the volume Of sales,
though in several instances this is
due to rainy weather On tue other
hand rain is needed in South Caro-
lima, while in Texas it is estimated
that even with very favorable condi-
tions from this time on. the Texas
crop will not exceed 2,250. 600 bales
Word is received that Texas interior
merchants have been cancelling bag
giBg and tie orders.

Metropolitan Police.
Gov. Evans May Put the Sys.
tenn on Charleston.

Gov. Evans once more has the metro
politao police sword hanging suspended
over the heads of the people of the city
Of Charleston, aud be gives notice that
if liquor selling lie not stopped there 10
the next sixty days he will allow it to
descend
Chief of Police Martin, of Charles
ton, and Mr.. ". Gibbes Wbaley. the
chairman Of the county board Of con-
troll of that county, came up yesterday
morning aud during the forenoon they
held consultation with Gov. Evans
about the illicit sale Of liquor 10
Charleston.
Gov. Evaus subsequently said that
he was collecting evidence as TO the
running of numerous bliod tigers in
Charleston. aud to-day he will begin to
have the liquor men of Charleston put
under injunction, making every effort
to laud them 10 the peniseutiary if they
continue to violate to law. He says, if
things do not improve 10 Charleston, ne
expects to put the city noder metro
politau police in the next sixty days:
Said the Governor This is no bluff
or threat; this liquor selling has got to
be stopped if I have to put on the
metropolitan force within thirty days."
He expects to send Assistant Attorney
General Townsend down to Charleston
to make Investigations and proceed
against the liquor men. He thinks
that Chief of Police Martin is doing
his entire duty, but that his men are
not.
The Governor says. that with
Charleston under the metropolitan sys-
ten, be feels certain that liquor selling
will be stopped. and be will at CAGE
withdraw the coustabulary force now

The Port Royal Dock.
The Greatest Dry Dock
in America Tested and
Found Satisfactory.

BEAUFORT, Aug. Is The first ofh-
cial test of the big government dry
dock on Paris Island. two miles be-
low Port Royal. was made to-day.
The United States monitor, Amphl.
trite was successfully locked in the
presence of the official board con-
sisting of Captain VIC Wise, of the
Amphitrite Engineer P. G. Asser
son and Naval Constructor }. +.
Hanscom. There were several thou
sand spectators present. The Am.
phitrite, under her own steam, assist
ed by a tug and towiropes, went into
the dock at p. m Captain G. IL.
Rockwell, commandant of the,naval
station, and the members ofthe board
said that they could of course make
no authoritative statement regarding
the tests at this time, but none OF
them hesitated to express the salts
faction which they felt over the en-
tire success attending upon the work
done to-day.
The Port Royal dry dock has at
tracted much attention because of the
fact that it is the largest government
dock in America. The depth of the
hold of the dock from the surface to
the sub-grade of the floor is thirty
eight feet. its width ut sub-grade is
sixty feet, at the surface 1926 feet, its
length is $50 feet. Captain Rockwell
says that any vessel in the new navy
might readily be docked ard repaired
in it, aud it is expected that the bat
tie ship Indiana will be docked here
for repairs in few weeks. The ca
pacity of the pumps with which the
water is drawn from the docks is
10000 gallons per minute and under
favorable conditions the dock could
be drained by them in fifteen minutes,
but the pumping to day continued for
three hours, as it was considered best
to make the first trial as deliberately
az possible. After the bottom of the
Amphitrite has been cleaned she will
be withdrawn and then enter the
dock again for test. This will be
made tomorrow. the vessel remain.
ing on the blocks all Of Saturday.
The Amphitrite will sail northward
Monday.

strong local support and gained "A

been marked by increased activity,
but at the same time the speculation
has been very irregular Incidents
of exceedingly great interest have
been crowded into the six days,
chief among which were meetings of
the directors of the Manhattan,
Western Union, ST. Paul and New
York Central companies, to act on
dividend questions. In the cases of
st. Paul and New York Central the
results were in doubt and were
looked for anxiously The street
was alive with rumors as to action
to be taken, which in each case was
foreshadowed correctly, so that the
official declarations had but little
effect on the market, the traders
having as usual discounted the, fut-
ure. The bear traders were chary
OF charging the outstanding short
interest, owing to the squeeze re-
ceived last week from the Sugar
clique. Sugar took the lead in point
of activity, the aggregate sales of
the week reaching 1907 shares. The
efforts of the shorts to cover re-
suited in marking the stock from
1915 to 1011a ex-dividend, which is
equal to 1912 dividend, on an ad-
vance of SIS per cent Insiders took
some of the profits, and this liquida-
ton resulted in a reaction to 97%.
The strength of cotton and grain
markets, reports of improved crop
prospects, the formation of a btu
minous coal pool and the prospects
of an agreement being reached by
the anthracite coal roads were prom
inent factors of the improved specu-
lative situation. New York Central
was alternately buoyed and de-
pressed, according to the tenor of the
reports as to the probable action
on the dividend, the extreme f1uctu-
ations before the announcement of
the 4 per cent reduction being 951k,
931A and 95A, the stock breaking to
925s ex-dividend, and recovering to
