THE SMALLPOX ~ PATRICK.
4 Full Statement of the Facts In
the Case.
STUART. VA, August I,

STUART, VA, August l. $50.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch.
| have seen several accounts IN your
paper in reference to the smallpox IN
this. Patrick county. and have heard
many exaggerated reports concerning the
same. The facts In the case are these.
Some five or six weeks ago. a c0l0rei
woman who had waited upon persons
afflicted with smallpox in Roanoke. came
10 the neghborhoOd OF Stella, distant
some twelve miles from Stuart In short
time she was taken sick and the disease
was thought to be smallpox. Some one
employed a doctor TO visit the SICK W1-
man. This he did, and reported that the
woman did rot have smallpox, but a
skin-dlsease which ne could not classify.
In the course OF two or three weeks,
other colored people became sick Win
the same disease. Matters went on IN
this way for some time. when the ops
became alarmed. and the supervisors en-
ployed two skilled physicians-Drs. r. y.
James, OF Danville. and j. II. Anderson.
OF Martlnsyile. TO visit the sick people
and make report. Last Sundat us
physicians visited the neighborhOods "
on Monday came 10 Stuart and reported
TO the supervisors that the smallpox
was in those neighborhoOds. The super
visOrs then employed these physicians 70
attend the people, and empowered them
to engage nurses and do what they deem
ed best In the matter. The phlslcans arc
now al their posts OF duty, and have IN
force rigid regulations TO prevent the
spread Of the disease. which is confined
to the colored people exclusively There
were seven cases In about a mile M
Stella Depot: nine near Mayo Forge, some
seven miles away and five near Mr. Ane
Spencers, some ten miles distant from
the railroad and from Stuart eighteen or
twenty miles. No new cases have broken
out since last week, and the physicians
have the disease well under control, ana
think there Is no danger or its spreading
The Town Council OF Stuart has adopted
and Is now enforcing very stringent quar-
antine regulations. Guards are kept Day
and night on the roads leading 70 the
infected neighborhood. and no one from
these districts is allowed to enter The
corporate limits of Stuart The police torcs
is vlglant. and any persons from thesi
neighborhoods, should they enter the
town. will be fined heavily and sent 10 =
hospital, where they Will be Kept under
guard until all danger has passed. There
are no cases nearer than twelve miles
from Stuart and the majority. OF them
are eighteen miles distant; Under the
quarantine regulations, we do not aptTe-
bend any danger and think people viii 10
perfectly safe In coming 10 Stuart.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
business Much Affected by Crop
PrOspects-Summer Lassitude.

NEW YORK, August 2.-Messrs. r. c.
Dun &c Co. in their weekly review Of
trade tomorrow will say:
The years business will be much af-
fected by the crops, and the most hope
full estimate falls below full yield, ex-
cept for corn. Larger stocks than were
Immediately wanted have been taken by
traders as prices were advancing, and
these tend to limit future orders
The general advance In many products
also causes reluctance to purchase. and
the distribution OF the past half year has
been in part to make up for stocks and
individual supplies depleted during two
years of economy.
On the other hand. there has been an
enormous increase in the working force
and a considerable increase in wages
paid, which enables people to buy more
freely. Apprehension of monetary disturb
ance has been quite pushed aside. Strikes
of some importance appear, but do not
yet threaten to last long. though strike
Of coal-miners may for a time break

All the indications show midsummer
lassitude. For the first time since the rise
In prices OF iron products began there

siness, and the efforts Of new works to
get orders tend TO check the advance. In
spite Of this. the general average Of
prices is a shade higher. bar having risen
relatively more than mill-iron has de-
clined. The market for pig Ia quiet, and
on the whole remarkably strong, with the
prospect OF an increased output. Finished
products are generally strong. with more
demand than can at present be met for
plates and for bar.
The business in cotton goods has been
the largest in July for several years for
actual deliveries, but not large for fu-
lures. An advance OF IA cent has taken
place. with a moderate demand for some
bleached and brown goods. and prices are
firm for sheets and drills, while colored
cottons are quiet. with occasional ad-
vances. The demand for mems woollens
has been less active. with some disap-
pointment observable. while worsteds
have sold relatively better.

have been smaller la liabilities than q
