Bradstreets today will say: The gen
eral trade situation continues toimprove and
aside from the unnecessarily prolonged
strike Of the soft coal miners there is little
in sight to cloud the outlook.
The feature of the week is the advance
in prices OF almost all leading sta ples be-
ginning in an upward movement in iroii
and steel Steel billets are now S1.oO
above lowest figures, bars $1.5G, rods S3
and plates 81. Bessemer pig iron is up
20 cents and foundry a like amount. Cot.
ton, which is up 3-l6 cent, reports the
smallest worlds stock for seven years
past at this period, an improved tone and
higher prices for the manufactured prod
uct.
In spite of crop damage the tendency
of estimates is toward the largest tota
| yield on record, but with proba bilities
| favoring much better prices than those
| obtained for the crop of 1S94-5, tie out

Dow, Jones s Co. say OF Southern
Railway: The managers OF the Southern
Railway are very Wen satisfied with the
figures for tie fiscal year ending July
80, which will shortly be published. The
surplus shown for the year will not be
50 large as last year, but all construction
and improvement acts have been closed
and the earnings, Notwithstanding the poor
twelve months behind July 1, will be
satisfactory. The reduced surplus is due to
the fact that the charges, as is well
known, were increased during the past
year.

paralysis from which, however, she re-
covered in a great measure.
Mrs. Fernandez husband and two daugh-
tiers, Mrs Sam Ross and Mrs. A. w. Mas

In nine cases out of ten the British sailor
has been always a sailor. That is all he
knows and all he cares to know. The
American recruit may have been a lawyer
or a doctor or a book agent, used to in
vading homes and selling people things for
which they have no earthly use. In spite
of this. he is amenable to discipline. Three
months on shIpboard takes the cockiness
out of him. The beauty Of him Is that
he obeys because he understands that it
is necessary to obey.
1t is estimated that the foreigners I'm our
navy can be welded out In six years. We
have the finest cruisers in the world, and
it Is fitting that they should be manned by
the brothers of those who built them.

Supreme Courts Action In the Kear-

The case of Pat Kearney, which has
taken many a turn in the courts, now
turns up again the light of the action of
the supreme court in issuing an order to
withhold the remitter recently issued I'M
til Messrs F. G. duBignon and w. F.
Slater can be heard on motion TO reopen
the case before the supreme court.
The case was recently argued before the
supreme court and the refusal of a mo-
ton for a new trial by the court below
was affirmed by the supreme court. The
remitter, however, has not yet been sent
out by the court.
The friends and relatives of the defend
ant asked Mr.. duBignon and Mr.. Slater
to take up the case and argue it before
the supreme court, if they could succeed
in getting the court to reopen the hearing.
Mr. Slater left Savannah night before
last for Atlanta and spent yesterday there
explaining the situation to the supreme
court The court decided to hold back the
remitter until Tuesday when Messrs. du-
Bignon and Slater will then appear before
the court to ask for a reopening of the
case. 1t is not known what will be their
line of argument for the reopening as
they have not yet made out their petition.

Manager Brux writes that his team Is
~. ~ the strongest in the state and the
oooount of the games it has played pear
Sim ont. Seven of the Quitman club
nave played on the University OF Georgia
,aam. Tichinor, one of the greatest IN
Fs3prs that ever played with the Univer-
stv will play second base. His. work
+bis season has been little short of marvel
oI,s and has been widely commented upon.
A one-armed base ball player is good
5aa, of an oddity, and a one-armed pitcher
is even more so. Such, however, is Quill
ian who will twirl for Quitman in to-day's
game Quillian has been seen in Savan-
nah before He pitched for Washington
against the Library team last season and
won the game. He is strong, heady,
pitcher. with good speed and curves.
NaUv who has been seen here in several
games. will do the backstop work.
Krenson and Goss will be the battery
for Savannah. Krensons arm, which was
rather CLASSY" after the game with Au-
gusta. which proved so disastrous to the
speedy little pitcher, is all right again,
and he hopes TO make the wiregrass team
have some trouble with the willow.
Goss the new catcher is a somewhat
unknown quantity, but he comes highly
recommended. He caught two seasons fer
Lehigh College, and his record showed
him to be one of the best college catchers
In the country. He has been practiclne
at the park for several days and shows
up we'll His throwing to bases is unus-
ually strong, and this goes a great way
toward making Il good catcher.
Bob Harper will play second base, and
his friends will be glad to see him again
on the home diamond.
The game will be called at 4:30 o'clock
and Savannah will play as follows: Goss,
catcher Krenson, pitcher; Brown, first
base; Harper second base; O'Connor,
third base Brady, E., short stop; Pound
