CAR LOAD QUANTITIES.
Reasonable Differentials Asked in

The Southern Wholesale Grocers'
Association, as is well known, has been
endeayoring for sometime past to OBJ

Freight Association, and it's predeces-
SCR, the Southern Railway and Steam

meat and other staple groceries.
This matter has been agitated for
the past three or four years, but with
little, or no success, and number of
wholesale merchants have now APP
preached the Seaboard Air Line with a
view of obtaining their assistance in
this matter. The Seaboard Air Line ia
yored this change, and so voted during
their membership in the Southern
Hallway and Steamship and the South
e1n States Freight Associations, and it
il said they are seriously considering
some immediate and favorable action

board Air Line feels that the mer-
chants claim is just one, and the

Anxiety.
INCREASE OF CONFIDENCE
Upward Turn in Prices of Manu-
featured Products.
FALL TRADE PROSPECTS GOOD
The Prospects For the Cotton Market
Are Decidedly More Favorable and
Cotton Goods Are Growing
Stronger.

New York, Sept Ar. G. Dun d Co,
in their Weekly Review of trade, viii
say:
There is a distinct increase of con-
fidence due largely to the continuing
and heavy imports of gold which have
put an end to the money anxiety, and
also to political events which are close
lv watched. While it does not yet start
more mills and more factories than are
closing for want of work, it crops out
in heavy speculative purchases of pig
iron, wool, and some other materials,
by experienced men who believe that
revival of business is not far off, and
for the first time in nearly two months
a slight upward turn appears ln prices
of manufactured products. The gain
in confidence and willingness to lend
and invest gives reason to hope that
the necessary replenishment of stocks
which cannot long be deferred, may be
liberal enough to stimulate more actlY-

Belmont and his private secretary,
Lawrence Hall, are here to attend the
convention of the boiling Democrats
of the United States. Mr.. Hall, during
one of his wanderings through the cor
ridors of the Bates House to-day, made
the acquaintance of gentleman from
Kentucky. The latter makes his head
quarters here, but travels through In
diana and Illinois, and meets many
people. He told Mr.. Hall that he was
a Mckinley man and that everybody he
met in both States was for Bryan. Mr..
Hall, in return, told him that McIn-
lev had no sure thing on New York;
that Belmont and all his friends, as
we'll as the Republican managers, were
scared out of their boots; that while
Bryan had made no great impression
in the city of New York, that he had
raised particular thunder out through
the State, and that the people We're
wild about him; that is, in Central
and Western New York the farmers

worthy of special comment save Breck-

round of cheers upon his appearance
this morning. Every time he arose to
respond to personal greetings his
friends would break into fresh APP
plause; then somebody Kissed, and the
sibilant sound became a chorus. Then
there were calls upon him for speech
which made his friends and enemies
rival each other in a demonstrate ton
of cheers and Misses which verged up
on the sensational.
Finally, however, he assembled the
platform and amid absolute stiffness
began his address. He had not uttered
a dozen sentences before it was evident
that he had captured the convention.
This spurred him to a magnificent eff
fort. He spoke with electric rapidity.

PROSPECTS FOR FALL TRADE.
Wholesale Merchants Find Trade Bet
ter in Seasonable Goods.

New York, Sept. 4.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
There is a somewhat better feehng
among wholesale merchants as 10
prospects for autumn trade in season
able goods This extends to some in
dustrial lines notably iron and steel.
Chicago sales of iron this week are
larger than for all of August and
Pittsburg sales are larger and prices
better on the outlook for harmony
among steel makers.
The most notable increase OF sales
of seasonable goods has been at Chi
cago, mostly among dry goods and
hardware jobbers. st. Louis also re-
ports moderate gain in demand as
does ST. Paul, where State Fair has
attracted visitors. BaltimOre's whole
sale trade is checked by restricted
bank credits, but is still larger than
one year ago. At the South relatively
the most active demand is at Char
lesion, Augusta, Birmingham, Nash
vile and New Orleans.
The more encouraging feature as to
the movement of prices lies in advance
of quotations for wheat on the strong
er statistical position and free export
movement, higher prices for iron and
steel at Pittsburg and Chicago, with
a gain in demand and further APP
probation in quotations for cotton on
renewed reports of damage to the
crop. Petroleum and leather are also
higher.
On the other hand. there has been
no general increase in industrial pro-
duction, the output as a whole being
smaller than previously during
the year. Further damage to the
Texas cotton crop is reported, and the
outlook for business in that State is
less attractive.
