Savannah, Sept 3.--The commercial year
,nened up with an increased volume of
business. and with glowing prospects of
, continuation of a lively trade during
Tho fall and winter The only drawback
10 the aggregate amount of business done
was the retarded movement of cotton.
The weather prevented shipments from
the country, but it is known that there
utl be greatly increased amount of re-
reipts during the next week or two. Sew
sr,l steamers have arrived to take cot
ton to foreign ports, and nearly all of the
factors. brokers and exporters have re-
turned to the city, and are ready for
business.
The naval stores trade was particularly
lively during the week. Spirits turpentine
was in strong demand, and the daily re-
ceipts were taken al the steadily adj
vlncing price. Resin was lower for a
few grades, but the demand was steady,
and large sales were effected.
The security market was fairly active.
and the demand for investment was I'M
usually good. while values We're at an
elvance on several issues.
The lumber trade was quiet, on account
Of the scarcity OF tonnage to move the
receipts. The wharves are being lined
with quantities of lumber. and it is ex-
rected that in a short time the movement
will be lively.
To-day the Morning News publishes it's

able information of the trade is given.

round house, where a diminiutive stock
car is being erected upon It in which
ed one, will ride through the streets of
Topeka. Upon the sides of the car will
appear the regulation letters, A. L &
S. F., with weights, etc. The whole
structure will rest in a huge pan with a
big handle, which when interpreted,
means Panhandle. In the pan will also
be seen wheat. corn and other products
OF Southern Kansas. Oklahoma and
Texas. The display cannot be fictingly
outlined yet. as changes will be made
and Improvements added during the pro

MADE A HIT
Two Wichita Young Ladies' Score Decided
Success Last Night.

Success Last Night.
II was a large and fashionable audi
ence which greeted Misses Wood and
Junkermln last night in Sedgwick Music
Hall to listen to musical and literary
entertainment The ladies even sur
passed the fondest hopes Of their most
ardent admirers 1t was a decided sue
cess and the artists deserved the storms
of applause which were given in ac-
Acknowledgement of their skill.
The stage was a bower OF lovliness
with the decorations Of palms and flow
ers which were arranged with an eye
for the beautiful.
The program opened with a serenade
from Schubert which Miss Wood sang in
an enhancing manner. At the close OF
the song she was greeted with storm
of applause. Miss Junkerman gave a
reading "The Sisteriy Scheme" This
was excellently rendered, her voice be-
ing very clear and distinct Miss Junk
erman was the personiication Of grace
in her every movement. Her gestuia-
tons We're well timed and gave charac-
ter TO every word that she uttered. Both
OF the ladiS9 have natural talents which
have been brought TO perfection with
hard work and careful study. The whole
program was one which was difficult IN
the extreme but each number was rem
dered as becomes the artist, which was
gratifying to the large number Of friends
of the entertainers. There has never
been a more successful entertainment
