large Eastern cities only moderate
volume of business is reported,
Buffalo and Boston inclining to re-
gard the near outlook the more hope
fully. Philadelphia and Pittsburg
are naturally affected somewhat by
lower quotations for iron and steel
and Baltimore prefers awaiting Or
ders from commercial travellers before
expressing opinions on the outlook
General trade is reported quiet at
Charleston, Nashville and Memphis,
with mercantile collections fair only.
At Chattanooga and at Atlanta very
little is doing in wholesale lines, the
former reporting manufactures quiet
as result of prolonged holiday in
huence and the weather At Savan-
nah trade is quiet but improving and
collection are only fair. Cotton
manufacturers are taking some new
contracts, but merchants will act
with extreme conservatism. Augusta
cotton factories report a fairly good
demand and improved collections,
though general trade shows no gain.
City and country trade is reported
fairly satisfactory by Jacksonville.
Damage from extremely cold
weather in Florida to fruit and vege-
tables is quite heavy, orange growers
being affected seriously. At Biz
mingham manufacturers report Or
ders scattered, general trade quiet
and collection only fair There is
only small volume of business at
New Orleans and collection are

quiet and orders are for needs only.

ticaly unchanged trade conditions

business, conspicuously Cleveland,

Louisville that merchants are more
hopeful. At Chicago orders are
mostly of the fllingin variety, and
St. Louis merchants are still working
on inventories and starting out COM

confined mostly to mail orders.

Pope as a Republican.
The Political kaleidoscope OF
NeWberry.
Columbia Register, Jan. 6.

While the political situation in
South Carolina appears to be calm,
there is much under the surface to
interest and even alarm the Demo
Gratis.
On the heels of the circular issued
by Republican leaders calling for
thorough organization of the party
in this State to try to elect delegates
to the Constitutional Convention
comes the story that Dr.. Sampson
Pope is dickering with the ma
tlonal Republicans to join them.
ossensibly for the purpose Of leading
the Republican fight in South Caro-
lima in 1896. but more likely for the
purpose of leading the fight against
the convention this year. At the
same tine is the statement that the
national Republicans propose to enter
,the South two years from now in q
different way from the past and that
they will endeavor to reconstruct the
party with decent white men.
JOIN THE CONSERVATIVES.
One of the Columbia Republicans
who signed the call for the Repub-
iican convention. published in 1Ae
Rsgister yesterday, has stated that
while he does not know what his
party will do he is reasonably salts.
fed that it will support Conservative
delegates to the Constitutional Con
vention if they are put out in the
various counties. If the Conserva-
tives do not put out tickets then the
Republicans will put them out. The
man said he felt sure that the Repub-
licans could carry number of coun-
ties, but if they could secure the aid
of the Conservatives there was no
telling how many they could carry.

FORD every aid, so do the regulations against
permitting single women TO go forth into
the streets of New York without warning
or question. One qf the most pathetic cases
we have had, however, was rosy-cheeked,
gentle little German milliner, not more
than seventeen, who explained she had, at
the advice of two9eierer American friends,
sold out her littIeI business in her native
town to come toaNew York and practice
with them her calling at great profit We
found her sobbing asst her heart was broken
just outside the detention pen, a pile of
queer little parcels heaped about her and
big officer looking nnin helpless compassion.
.'As they had promised, the two clever
friends were on hand to receive the inno-
cent child, but at one glance the officer
guessed their truly abominable purpose,
warned them Off the island, and detained
the girl, who, Mortified and dismayed, sat
down, womaDlike, to weep over her hope
less condition. She was cared for, o { course
and these you see are some of the dangers
that beset immigrant girls.
Its the business of our missionary,
moreover, to investigate friends or rela-
tives, to conduct girls, not only to the
proper railroad stations whence they are
bound further on to distant destinations,
but to buy them their tickets. initiate them
as well as she can into the customs of the
country, persuade doubtful ones to stop at
the home till connections outside of the
city can be written TO and heard from, and
then make sure the relatives and friends
are all they assume to be.
''Those who are perfectly penDiless we
provide with what we can, and those who
are in grave trouble, who can not satisfac-
toriIy answer the officials queries, and who
must be returned to the port whence they
sailed, we offer such comfort and succor as
is in our power; so that at present it is al
most a difficult matter for danger to con-
front the immigrant girl before friends
have her interests firmly in hand

there was something more than of prob

lonely immigrant girls, it was so often pa

changed for the better and the solitary peas
ant woman who arrives, not only at Ellis
Island, but at any OF the immigrant sta
tions in Boston, Philadelphia, or New
Orleans finds selfconstituted friends on
the lookout, not only to welcome but offer
her practical assistance, good temporary
home, should she need it, and safe delivery
to her friends or relatives, if she can claim
any in the States. In New York this ex-

that call themselves Immigrant Missions -
