R. G. Dun & Co.'S. weekly review Of

r. G. Dun & Co.'S. weekly review OF
trade says:
There is no step backward in bust.
ness, although the season OF mid-sun
mer quiet is near. Improvement con
tinues gradual and prudently cautious,
as before, although in many branches
evident, where no signs of it appeared
a few weeks ago. Business men OF the
highest standing in all parts OF the
country, having gradually perceived
that the tide has begun to rise, are
regulating their contracts and invest
ments, and their plans for the future,
with a confidence quite unknown to
them q short time ago. Great changes
before the adjournment OF congress are
hardly to be expected, but removal Of
uncertainty is, with reason, expected to
bring into operation buying forces
which have been restricted for months.
The main factor at this time is the
steadily Frightening prospects for
crops. Harvesting of wheat has already
begun in some winter wheat States,
with surprising good results in the
central II gion and California, so thst
500, 600 tons is now called the minimum
from the latter State, and statisticians
of repute calculate on sixty million
bushels of winter wheat beyond the
government estimste. Spring wheat Is
doing remarkably well, with practi-
cally unknown increase of acreage.
The price has advanced | cents during
the week, with decrease of 1900, 900
bushels in Western receipts, and ATTAIN
tic exports Of only 1, 445, ,947 bushels.
flour included) against l,713,96 last
year, bat it is just the season when
figures have no value, except as prov
ing how erroneous were estimates oil
the crop of 1896. Cotton was lifted an
eighth without reason and has fallen
back as much, because everything
points to larger crop than has COM
monty been expected. There is an
encouraging increase in the demand for
all textile goods, even for cottons,
which have been slow, and though il
is but moderate, there is nothing OF Q
speculative character in the transac.
tons and goods are firmly held. Orders
for woolens have been rather better
than was expected from clothiers anc
fairly good for dress goods. Operation
in spring goods are still deferred
While mills are somewhat better EN-
ployed and are buying to some extent
most of the purchases of wool are TO-
speculation. Domestic wool is still
held at relatively high price at tn
West.

Ernst Rice Mills Burned.

Only few walls are left standing of
what was one of the finest rice mills in
New Orleans. The fire Saturday to-
tally destroyed the Ernst rice mills,
and the loss will amount to $780, 200.
The old mill, the building on the cor
ner of Julia and Magazine streets, and
the two story. structure adjoining, on
Julia street, were valued, together with
the machinery, at $l25,0O0 There
4as great deal of stock in the mill at
the time of the fire and the loss on this
account cannot be estimated. The
building and machinery had just been
overhauled, repaired and renovated, in
order to handle the present crop. At
q time when the walls of the mill were
expected.to fall at any moment some
excitement was created by the report
that some one was in the building.
There were loud cries Of "come out, y
''ssve your life, /" etc, and the excite
ment was intense untilone of the Ernst
boys was seen to leave the building.

MIR. II. Il. Weed, Entomoiogist.

Mr.. Howard Evarts Weed, for the
past seven years entomologist of the
Mississippi Agricultural Experiment
Station at Starkville, Miss, has moved
to New Orleans and will make his
home there. Mr.. Weed will give his
time to the study of entomology and
the destruction of insects that are ene-
mics of plant life. Mr.. Weed proposes
to give the people of New Orleans the
benefit of a scientific inspection and
treatment at small cost SO as to make
the flower gardens, and especially the
rose gardens for which the city is so
noted, become more beautiful by be-
ing kept free from insect pests. He
comes highly recommended by Gen.
Steven ID. Lee, of Mississippi, and
others.

The Farmers Institute, under the
auspices of the State experimental
Station, held session at Opelousas Sat-
urday. The morning session opened
at IL am. and adjourned at pm.
About 200 farmers attended and the
discussions at times were rather lively.
Mayor J. G. Lee opened the meeting
with preliminary address, explaining
the objects of these institutes and an
nouncing that it was his purpose to
organize a local organization here.
Thos. H. Lews, Esq, spoke on the
agricultural resources of st. Landry.
He spoke especially of tobacco culture,
which is backward here. A better
soil, he said, for the cultivation of to-
bacco could not be found, and Prof,
Barrow fully agreed with him. "Five
Cent Cotton and How to raise it," by
Hon. Chas. Schuler, was ably handled
and caused q great deal of discussion.
"The Agriculture of Sugar Cane" =" by
Prof. D. N. Barrow, ended the morn
ing session The evening session was
occupied by "The, Orchard and the
Garden" by Prof p. II. Burnett,
and general discussions.

Another Railroad.

There is every indication that Lake
Charles will get another railroad. A
few days ago Col. Uriah Lott, the
Texas railroad king, announced his in
tention to build a railroad from San
Antonio to Beaumont via Galveston,

an eastern terminus. On behalf OF
the Lake Charles Commercial Club,
G. W. Hopkins wrote Col. Lott asking
j. he would consider a proposition to
make Lake Charles the terminus. Mr..
Hopkins received letter saying that
such a proposition would be consider
ed. More than that, the tone of the
message was very favorable. He will

End of a Public Religious Debate.


The religious s~debate that has held
the attention of the large crowds in
attendance since Tuesday last at Inde-
pendence, La, closed Saturday even

ed Saturday was "A Child of God can
SO far apostatize as to be lost" Rev.
J. o. s. Wallick, Christian, affirma-
tive; Rev. NJ. G.. Milburn, Baptist,
negative. The debate was not SO ex.
citing as on Friday. Each divine en-
deavored to convince by syllogistic ar
gument. So close was the contest that
decision could not be arrived at. 1t
is not thought that the debate will en-
tirely ameliorate the intense feeling
that exists between these denomina-
tions in this section About fifteen
Baptist ministers have been in constant
attendance, while only two Christian
ministers were here.
