journals Of the two houses Is usually
done after the adjournment of the
Legislature, at an additional expense
to the State Of about $4,000. This
year the compiling will be done by the
regular emoloyes, during the session,
without any extra expense. Hereto
fore members have ordered whatever
they pleased in the way of stamps and
stationery, and the expense for these
supplies has been very heavy. Here
after In the House all such orders will
be passed upon by the Committee on
Claims and Accounts, which will effect
material saving to the taxpayers. The
Senate will have Committee on Ex-
penditures, with Senator Young as
Chairman. Instead of ordering an un.
limited number Of copies Of the stat.
utes for the members, as has been the
custom, the House will content itself
with twenty-five sets. The Senate was
more liberal to itself In this regard
and voted set Of the statutes to each
member, although Senator Forney pro.
tested vigorously, and insisted that a
set for each committee is enough.
The House fusion caucus has ap.
pointed steering committee Of one
member from each Congressional dis.
trlct TO exercise q supervision over the
work Of the House. The committee
consists Of Messrs. Marks, Simmons,
Barkley, TruebloOd, Marty, MetzIer
and Fairchild. aThe caucus adopted
the following resolution in regard to
the object of this committee: "Where-
as, There is a wrong apprehension In
the minds Of many conscientious peo.
pie Of the State regarding the prerOga-
tives Of q certain committee, known
az the steering committee; therefore
be lit ReSOggsd, That 1t is expressly
understood that the duties Of this COM
mittee shall consist of examining the
many bills introduced, with q view to
recommending the advancement on
che calendar of the most important
bills for the early consideration by the
Legislature; that their recommends
tions are only advisory and only in
tended to facilitate the work of the
Legislature" The caucus decided Co
shut off buncombe, partisan resoIu-
tiOns, such as took up 80 much time in
the House Tuesday. Hereafter such
resolutions must irst be presented to
and approved by the steering commit.
tee before they can come before the
House.

Representative Keefer of Lesven'
worth presented resolution regarding
the income tax, which has aroused
considerable interest. The resolution
recites that the Supreme court Of the
United States has no power to lay an
income tax, and that the constitution
provides that rights not delegated to
the National government are reserved
to the States. Mr.. Keefer therefore
wants Kansas to lay State income
tax of 2 per cent. on all incomes Of
more than $4,000. Consideration Of
the resolution was indefinitely post
poned, but 1t will doubtless come up
again. New Jersey has on income tax,
and the treasury of Illinois receives s
per cent. on the gross receipts of the
Illinois Central railway. So Mr.,
Keefer's resolution is not lacking In
precedents.

NAVAL STORES.

Spirits Turpentine-The sales of the
week were made at 251ac. Up to Wednes-
day there was a steady demand at the
quotation, when buyers neglected the mar
ket, with the intention, it is said, of
weakening the value. 1t was then quoted
quiet. On Thursday the bids were 25Ac
but factors refused to sell at the decline
On Thursday night. however, sales of 200
casks were made at 2515c. and the trans
action was reported on the Board of
Trade this morning, with the market be-
ing bulletined firm at 2512c. At the close
to-day the market developed considerable
strength, and large sales were made, 2,41S
casks being bulletined at 251ac.
Rosin--There was a steady demand for
rosin during the early part of the week,
at unchanged quotations. On Wednesday
the market was bulletined quiet, and on
Thursday there was decline of to 15c,
with heavy sales at the declines. There
was a reaction at the opening of the mar
ket this morning, when it was bulletined
firm at SC advance on G. and below, with
sales of 425 barrels. The common grades
are in strong demand, while mediums and
paies are not sought after. At the closing
of the market to-day there were no sales
reported.

to-day the following quotations were bull
letined at the Board Of Trade:

DRY GOODS.

New York, June 11.-Dry goods showed
signs of increased activity on the part
Of buyers, but as yet there are only the
signs. The week has been an unsatisfac-
tory one in many regards. Buyers have
been prevented from operating in the
market and weather conditions have pre-
cluded purchases Of strictly seasonable
lines. Strictly cottons quiet; print cloths
are said to be stronger. Extras, it is re-
ported from Fall River are hard to buy
at 7-16c plus one per cent. In futures, in
certain odd goods, 1t is said there is re-
fusal to quote prices at all. Sales of about
10000 more goods were made late yester-
day at Fall River at 27-16c plus one per
cent The strength of the market is I'M
doubtedly due to the proposed reduction
of wages. Printed goods are somewhat
more active than heretofore, but the gain
of fall fancies is not so fast as was ex-
pected. Jobbers report continued dizziness.
Retail reports show a limited demand.

REVIEW OF THE MARKETS.
CONDITION OF GENERAL TRADE
DURING THE PAST WEEK.

Only a Moderate Amount of Business
Trade-A Fnir Movement in Grocer
les, Dry Goods and Hardware.
Lumber Trade Fairly Active-COt-
ION DuII-Spirits Turpentine Firm
at 25k Cents-ROsin LOwer-Sugar
Higher, Meat and Lard Lower.
Savannah, June 1.-THE revival of ac-
tivity in trade which is said to have de
veloped throughout the country has not
struck this section with any great force
as yet. A better feeling prevails, however,
and in departments of trade everybody is
ready and waiting for the long looked for
change in the conditions of business.
The general business during the past
week was only moderate in the leading
wholesale departments. In groceries, dry
goods and hardware there was fair and
steady movement in staple goods but no
special activity. The liquor traffic increas-
ed somewhat on orders from South Caro-
lima merchants from this city having
rushed goods to the dispensary state at
the opportunity to ship original pack
ages presented ilseI. 4neIe was sleduy
movement in lumber at steady quotations.
The cotton market remained dull and I'M
changed throughout the week, with sales
of 1863 bales. Spirits turpentine was in
good demand nearly every day of the
week, until Thursday, when buyers were
bidding nc below the current price. A
prominent exporter went in to-day and
cleaned it up at 25l5 cents, and the mar
ket closed firm. Common grades of rosin
were in strong demand, but pales were
not wanted. After steady sales for several
days, decline took place Thursday. The
following resume of the different mar
kets, both local and Geographic, will show
the tone and the quotations at the close
to-day:

Some Good Advice.

A young man should know at
the very outset Of his business car
Ger that he can afford anything
else better than to be dishonest.
Any apparent success resulting
from dishonest methods is short
lived and deceptive and is at tho
cost of important turturo advance
mont. There is plenty of hard
work in any department of lifo.
Know that fact and submit to it
manfully. Engage in that employ
mont for which your training and
tastes havo fitted you and at all
timos do your level best in it. BE
independent and truo to principle
and be courteous to all mon. Live
within your income, choose vol
your associates and novor indulge
in recreation Of which you car
never bo ashamo. Let whisk,
drinking, gambling and card play
scvcroly alone. 30 satisfied tt
rise gradually but strive to ris,
continuously. And never lose a,
opportunity to loarn all thing
that may be needed in the highes
department of your business.
