BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Bradstreet's Review of Trade for the
Past Week.

Bradstreet's Review of Trade for the
Past Week.
Bradstreet's trade review for the
past week says:
"The manifest improvement in many
lines of general trade has resulted in
an increase in the volume of business,
Notwithstanding the impending idle
ness of 5000 Rhode Island worsted
mill operatives and many in other in
dustrial lines. Industrial unrest now
takes the form of striking for higher
wages. This week about so, 900 indus
trial employees have struck, and the
tendency does not seem to be checked.
About 5000 pleople are reported to
have obtained higher wages without
striking.
april bank clearings reflect I'M
provement in demand for staples and
enlarged speculation in stocks and
bonds, wheat, petroleum and cotton
in a monthly aggregate which is, with
two exceptions, the largest reported
since June, 1898. Total April clear
ings at sixty-one cities are 81, 1913, 322,-
500, a gain over 1894 of IA per cent.
and over March this year of 5.5 per
cent. The increase over February is
% per cent. Three fourths of all the
cities reporting show increases over
April, 1894, special Improvement be-
ing noted in the eastern and middle
states and in the south and southwest.
The far western group alone shows a
decrease.
Nashville and Galveston report
some little improvement in the vol
ume of business, but they prove the
exceptions among southern cities. Ag-
ricultural conditions in Tennessee are
said to be favorable. In Texas the
coast country still needs rain. At
Chattanooga and Augusta the weeks
business has been of somewhat smaller
volume, although at the former some
of the manufacturing industries are
better employed than one year ago.
There is only fair business in cotton
goods, and prices remain firm. No
gain is looked for until the demand
for all supplies becomes general"

THE INCOME TAX.
REARGUMENT BEGUN BEFORE
A FULL BENCH
Justice jackson Prosont--Tho Whole
Question Thrown Open.

There was a full bench ia the SUI
premo court Of the United States Mon
day for the FIRST time since Justice
Jackson left for the south last fall.
Justice jackson appeared with the
other members Of the court as the
clock sounded the hour Of noon, and
took bis seat at the extreme right Of
the chief justice. Beyond the fact
that ho looked somewhat pale and
eoughed occasionally, he did not show
any signs Of the long illness which has
caused his enforced absence from the
court for the past six months
The occasion for the appearance Of
the full bench and Of tho large audi
ence, was the order Of the court for
rehearsing in the income tax cases.
This hearing was, however, necessarily
postponed while the court announced
opinions in several other cases. These
and other preliminaries having been
disposed Of, Mr.. W. ID. Guthrie, one
Of the attorneys for the appellants,
Messrs Hyde and Pollock in the in
come tax cases was recognized by the
court to begin his argument for a re-
consideration Of these cases at 1850.
The Entire Question Reopened.
Before Mr.. Guthrie began, the chief
justice, after calling the case, stated
that in response to suggestions Of the
attorney general, which the court in
terpreted as virtually a motion for a
rehearing. the court had decided to
permit counsel to go into all the ques-
tions involved. He said the rehearing
had been dependent upon the presence
Of Justice Jackson, which had now
been happily realized. The court had
found it necessary to limit the argu-
ment to two counsel on each side, but
it was for counsel to say what time
they would require. Thereupon Mr..
Choate and Attorney General Olney,
after consultation, announced that five
hours on each side would be sufficient
and this time was granted. Mr.. Guth-
RE then began argument in the cases.

ADDRESS TO MINERS.
Regarding the suspension Of Work
Until Demands Are Granted.

Regarding the Suspension Of Work
Until Demands Are Granted.
The executive committee Of the Ohio
Miners Association has issued the fol-
lowing address TO the miners Of Ohio,
which virtually continues the suspen-
sion OF work inaugurated May LIST as a
strike for the wage scale demanded by
the miners convention last week:
eve, your executive board, desire to
say few words regarding the decision
Of the delegates who represented you.
At the late special convention with
four days continual session and a
meeting Jointly with the operators Of
Ohio three times, it was impossible to
make a scale for milling, even at last
years prices. The operators we're de-
termined for low wages, but the dele
gates could not get further and adopted
the following resolution:
Resolved, That no work be done
in or around the mines until a settle
ment is made, except pumping and
bailing water.
'This your executive board will en-
deayor to carry out in every particular,
and in order to be successful in secur-
ing the rate Of wages demanded-yiz:
60 cents n ton for pick and SO cente
for machine mining and drilling-mus
have the entire support and co-opera-
ton of every member of our organiza-
ton. We respectfully request that
every man do his duty lawfully, and
by so doing we will secure conditions
which will gain for us an opportunity
to make living wages"
The following resolution was adop-
ted:
"But any and all matters relating
to price be referred to locals before
settlement. This will be done. No
price will be agreed to without the
consent of che locals 1t may be that
some operators will offer their men
the price demanded. We hope and
expect that no miners viii go to work
till all have secured prices and all go
to work together. Let US keep our
ranks solid"

The Central Bimetallic League Per-
feet an Organization.
The Central Bimetallio League of
Tennessee was perfected at Memphis
Thursday afternoon aud movement
set on foot to call free silver conven-
ton to meet in Memphis on June 18th
and 18th. An address has been prepared
that will be circulated throughout the
southern, western and Pacific coast
states, from which it is desired that
delegates shall come. In the preamble
to the resolution fixing the date and
call for the conference, the bimetallists
say:
1.-THE enemies of silver have made
extensive arrangements for conven-
ton to assemble in this city on the 23d
instant, under the delusiVe and mis-
leading pretense to protect and uphold
what they are pleased to determine
sound money. To meet and counter
act as far as possible the effect of this
movement, it has been determined in
a public meeting of the advocates of
silver at Memphis, to call q conven-
ton of representatives from all the
states of the Mississippi valley, the
west and the Pacific coast, to formulate
and give direction to the overwhelm-
ing sentiment which is now declaring
for free silver at the ratio of 16 to l. !"
All senator's and congressman from
these states will be invited; In addi-
lion to the calling of the convention
the bimetallists have decided to have
ex-Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska,
to speak in Memphis on May Gath, the
day following the sound money con-
vention. He will speak at Jackson
the preceding evening. The silver ad-
vocates hope that his speech will have
the effect of counteracting the inhu-
ence Of the sound money convention
locally.

The failure of the first effort to
launch the steamship St. Paul, at Phil

bune a similar incident in the case Of
the American war vessel Trenton.
which ship was lost in the Samoan
hurricane in 1889. She was built at
the New York Navy Yard in 1875, and the
first attempt to launch her was on De-

for two hours, the length of time that
was spent on the ST. Paul, but the
ship could not be got in to the water.
Then the efforts were abandoned until

ment which it calls San attampt to
show the world'swheat production for
the years 1891 to 1894" The totals
indicate a steadily increasing supply,
from 2,369, 100000 bushels in 1891 to
$3.50, 121, 600 in 1894. Unfortunately,
however, states the New York Times,
the estimates of the crops in this
country are those which were long
ago rejected. Everybody knows that
for the last four years our wheat crops
have been very much underestimate
by the department. The actual ex-
cess over Tho departments figures for
the two crops for 1891 and 1892 was
about 100, 600, 600 bushels. The crop
of 1898 was larger by at least so, 0OO,-
900 bushels than the quantity which
the department reported. By almost
universal consent the official report
for the last years crop is at least 49,
10000 short Of the actual yield. If
the departments figures for this
country be corrected, however, in &C.
cordance with the estimates now gen.
orally received, the increase of the
worlds crop Will still demand atten-
ton, the total growing from 2,433,-
900, 900 bushels in 1891 to 2,645, OOO,-
900 in 1894, and this increase has had
some effect upon prices. The growth
Of the supply in South America and

Holmes, when going south the day be-

tramps to get off the train and it is
thought some of these men are his

Thus far this month probably not less

but in many cases the increase has gone

more who have had their wages raised

PRESS COMMENT.
Personal Quarrels.

The White Oaks Eagle asks of the ter
ritorial press an opinion on the question
as to whether newspaper controversy or
personal abuse of an enemy of the local
paper pays or interests it's readers. Gen
orally personal fight does not interest
anyone outside the one directly men
toned and his or her relatives, and then
such very seldom patronize the news
paper and in many cases your own
patrons will not sanction your method
of making personal grudge public. As
to newspaper controversy, it ID not of
any interest to the public, other than the
press. So in our opinion newspaper
should not deal in personal quarrels, or
indulge in slurriug contemporary. 1t
doesn't pay.-Springer Stockman.
