ACTUAL GAINS IN THE SOUTH.
Trade Conditions Materially Improved, as
Reported by Bradstreets.
New YORK, April 13.-Bradstreets


says:
The feature in trade circles is found in the
prices movement more particularly those fot
cattle, dressed beef and petroleum. Drouth;
low prices and hard times within two years
have resulted In shorter supply of cattle,
prospectively thirty per cent less than last
year Live cattle are SLIGO higher per one hun
dred pounds last year and 81 higher than the
lowest point this year. Dressed beef is 2Es
cents higher than the average last year. the
highest since 1855.
Among more important southern cities re-
porting actual gains in the movement OF mer-
chandise are Atlanta Augusta, Savannah and
Galveston, but improvement there is slight.
The outlook is regarded more cheerfully at
New Orleans. where sugar bounty disburse-
ments are expected soon. but at Jacksonville
and Birmingham general trade is quiet and in
some lines slow. Nashville and Memphis re-
tain improvement previously recorded. I'm
proved weather helps trade at Charleston. AT
Chattanooga dry goods and hardware are reia-
lively most active.
