BUSINESS.
Bradstreet's Report.

New York, May 3.-Brad adstreet's to- morrow will say: The manifest improve ment in many lines of general trade has resulted in an increased volume of bus mess. notwithstanding the impending .idleness of 5000 Rhode Island worsted mill operatives and many m other indus trial lines Industrial unrest now takes the form of striking for higher wages. This week about 50,000 industrial em- ployes have struck, and the tendency does not seem to be checked. About 30JO people are reported to have obtained higher wages without striking.
 April bank clearings reflect improve ment in demand for staples and enlarged speculation in stocks and bonds, cat, petroleum and cotton in monthly az gregate which is, with two exc sptions, the largest reported since June, 1Si3. Total April clearings at sixty-one cites are $4,232, ,322, ,999, q gain over 1894 of II per cent and over March of this year or 5.5 per cent. The increase over February is 25 per cent. Three-fourths of all the cities reporting show Increases over April, 1894, special improvement being 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 more improvement in the volume or business, but they prove the exceptions among southern cities. Agricultural 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 a fair business in cotton goods and prices remain firm. No gain is looked for until demand for all sup plies become general.

At MontRonnerv,

Montgomery, May 3.-(Special.) )-Mont- gomery baseball enthusiasts are a dis appointed lot tonight; in fact they have been so for the last four days. When the Arkansas boys struck the town the fans hurried at once to see them and size them up, and their verdict was "Pshaw, they ain't no good" but it is now proven that you can't sometimes always tell whether or no a man can play baseball by looking at his mug. Considerable money was placed on the home team by the sports at and 3 to l, they consider ing the loss of the three straights to New Orleans as purely accidental, and the Ar kansas fellows just pie for the Hayes ag- gregation. The betting should have gone exactly the other way, according to the score. Hayes says his men will pull themselves together" and win the re- maining two games to be played-and we predict that they will. The feature of today's game was the immense ball playing of 'Trilby," a new man Hayes picked up in Cincinnati. Today's game was his first with a professional team, finest. His first step toward notoriety was gained by knocking a clean home run, two of them in fact, as he has no idea of base running and missed some of them several feet in his circuit and had to go back and try it over again A nice purse was made up for "Trilby" by the fans. Following is the score:
 RH E Montgomery ....2 0 0 0 1 01 0--4 g 1 Little Rock. .....1 0 2 0 0 3 %---7 10 8 Batteries-Bailey, Clausen and Rap- pold; Briggs and Corcoran. Umpire Reccius.

 Lynchburg. Va, May "A telegram was received tonight about 12:30 o'clock from Governor O'Ferrall ordering the home guard to proceed by first train to Pocahontas, the scene of the miners strike. The town bell was rung at l o'clock and the military proceeded to gather at the armory. At this hour, 1:45 a. m., they are fully equipped and will leave on the 5:35 o'clock train this morn ing for Pocahontas.
 United States Troops May Be Needed.
 Richmond, Va, May 3.-A Bluefield. W, Va, special to the Dispatch says: It is the miners on the E1khorn side of the large tunnel who seem to be in the most ugly mood. It is now probable that the United States regulars will be called for. There is regiment at Columbus, o. in easy reach. Governor McCorkle is advising strongly against this step, and wired Colonel Turney of his staff, who is ans Elkhorn operator, that he is able to cope with the situation. However, if federal troops are called for it will be by theSNorfolk and Western. It is the gen. eral belief that Governor OFerrall and Governor McCorkle are both ready to render such assistance as may be neceS- sary. It is predicted by some of the most interested parties that the field will be idle for several months Fully one third of the strikers have left the re- zion and are still going on every train.
