The Manufacturers Record of May
3 contains a number of letters from
prominent gentlemen endorsing the
proposed Baltimore exposition,
among them one from Postmaster
General Wilson, in which he says: !:
.sI believe the place and occasion
are especially favorable for full and
attractive exhibit of the mineral,
manufacturing and agricultural re-
sources of the South, to which, for
tunateIy, public attention seems now
to be particularly directed. The To-
cation of Baltimore, midway between
the North and the South, and her
control, by virtue of her admirable
facilities as a seaport, OF a large and
increasing part of our Western ex-
port trade, together with her steady
growth and solid prosperity, must
necessarily attract to such an exhi-
bition the favorable attention Of the
entire country, and / am sure that
the enterprise of her people will not
be slack in pushing all of these adj
yantages to their best results.

New YORK, Sept. l.-Bradstreets6
saws: The week is characterized in
trade circles by an unexpected, but no
less pronounced improvement South
and Southwest. This is reflected at
markets from which supplies are dis
tributed TO these, regions.
Relatively unfavorable features are
found in quieter tone in dry goods
and jobbing circles, a check of season
able trade throughout the Central West,
due to the unusual heat, low prices for
mems wear wOolens, and an unsatis-
factory outlook due to depressed quota
tions abroad The most bullish report
comes from st. Louis, where there are
many country buyers and all lines of
staple merchandise are active, with
railroads making freer purchases, and
the manufacturing industries pressed
to keep up with requirements. Kansas
City, too, also a distributor to the West
and Southwest, reports unusually
prompt mercantile collections and rela-
lively enormous orders placed with the
wholesalers for shoes, dry goods and
hardware.
Improvement at the South.

South Carolina's Proposed Constitution
Disqualifies Negroes.
COLUMBIA, So, Sept l6.-A perfect
avalanche of resolutions poured upon
the desk of the president OF the South
Carolina constitutional convention,
many of them expressions of the most
unsophisticated minds, but very many
of them of the greatest Importance TO
the state. There were bills to prevent
railroad lines buying up competitors,
and affecting telegraph and ~ her cor
porations in the same way, while there
were others forbidding the state or any
political corporation in the state lending
its credit or otherwise aiding III the con-
structiOn of railroads or other internal
Improvements except such as are OF
charitable or educational nature.
A New Constitution.
The most important paper presented,
however. was the full draft of consti
tuition offered by Colonel Robert Aidrich
of Barnweu The most striking clause
in that draft was the following:
mo person shall be eligible to take or
| retain seat i'll the house of representa-
