THE STATE OF TRADE.
Bradstreet's.

Bradstreet's.
one of the most significant features of
the business situation is found in the con-
tinued heavy-weekly totals of bank clear
ings, that for six business days ending
November II amounting to S1,34l 100000. an
increase of 10 per cent. over the preceding
week and 10 per cent. compared with the
second week of November, 1896, when busi-
ness began to revive sharply in specuIa,
tive lines. This week. gain, as compareo
with the corresponding total in 1879, is 10
per cent, but SO per cent. when contrasted
with the like total in 1894 and Al per cent.
when comparison is made with the same
week in 1893. nearly two months aIter
the panic ended. This weeks clearings
are IA per cent. larger than the CORE
spending total in 1882, year OF exception
ally large business, and 25 per cent larger
than in 1891. They are, however, IL per
cent smaller than in the second week OF
November 1890, when the total was $1,5lO.-
0G0 600, which has been exceeded only once,
by the total s15l2, 100000 in the third week
of December 1892, the top of the wave OF
speculation prior to the panic of 1898.
Railroad gross earnings show smaller
gains as comparisons begin to be made
with more nearly normal conditions one
year ago. Total October earnings of 127
companies, operating 100000 miles of road,
aggregate $50, 46i339, gain of 5000, 600
over September and per cent. over Octo-
Der a year ago. This gain compares with
gains of IA per cent. in September and 12.5
per cent. in August over corresponding
periods in 1896. The Pacific southwes Stern
and central-western roaCs make the best
showing. The total earnings of 12i roads
for ten months show gain over last year
of As per cent. Net earnings for Septem-
Der and the nine months make a still
better showing. The total for 50 systems
shows an increase of % per cent. for Sep
TENDER over year ago, while the gross
gained only 115 per cent. For nine
months net receipts gained only 11.6 per
cent, while gross gained only AZ per cent.
over the previous year.
Other favorable features are the contin-
ued firmness of and activity of wool, iron
and steel. The heavy output of iron and
moderate reduction Of stocks last month
suggests the improba bility of the advance
in prices of iron and steel next year which
so many have hoped for. The slight re-
the extreme depression to which that
staple has been subjected. attracts atten-
ton as the possible beginning of the end
of the prolonged decline. Already there
is an Improvement in prices of and de-
mand for cotton yarns.
The unfavorable influences in prices
movements this week are declines for cot
tons and print cloths, the latter touching
the lowest price on record. Wheat lard
and lead are also lower and wire nails
have been shaded. There is a long list
Of staples for which prices are practi-
cally unchanged The more important ad-
vanceS are confined to Indian corn oats
hops and turpentine.

quiry, however, and the market is firmer

are very firm, while the selling prices here
are not up to the cost OF importation.
Manufacturers have considerable wool on
ing up a great deal. 1t Is not expected
that they win be heavy buyers until the
first. of next year The strong foreign
markets have caused some speculation
here. Fleece woods continue firm, but
there is little doing in them, Fine and

gether. Territory WOODS are firmer, with a
fair business doing. Australian woods
continue very firm with advices very
strong. Carpet woods are firm and I'M

woods have been made this week.

STOCKS.-The bears exercised no IN

and made no apparent attempt to 90 50.
The bear element was in fact engaged IN
buying stocks to cover snort contracts
over Sunday Thus relieved from pear
pressure and helped by the covering OF
shorts, prices moved quite uniformly up
ward. There was no great ANIMATION 70
the trading, but some of the buying was
pr a substantial sort. Coalers con-
tinued to display strength. New Jersey
Central and Delaware and Hudson rose
each points at one time, but botn react
Id, the latter losing all of its gam. Inc
Erangers also showed gains, Rock lsandd
being especially strong. The buying OF
these stocks was partly in antlclpatlon OF
q possible decision by the supreme Court
on Monday in the Nebraska freight rave
case. The opinion is almost UNIVERSAL IN
Wall street that when that decision Goes
rome it will be in favor of, the rairoads.

gress towards recovery and rose at one

ADVANTAGES OF BALDNEss.

We promised several baldheade'
subscribers OF the SENTINEL to be ol
the lookout for any written or printet
words defending badness, and at las
we are able to fulfill the promise. A
recent issue OF the Hopkinsvillt
Kentuckian contains an account Of .
meeting ola ''bald-headed club" ant
the address OF the president of that
Iclub we give below, as it contains much
Aattering unction which man bless
ed l?) with badness may apply te
himself. Here is the speech:
From the foundation OF the world
to the present time, a bald head has
been mark of distinction and a crown
Of homer.
Consult the pictures in any history
and you will find that near.y all truly
great men have kept their heads free
from hirsute membranes. l might
enumerate hundreds of shining ex-
am pies, but l am not here to call
names.
Most men are born free from hair
and sin. Many as they grow older de-
velop hair on their heads and sin in their
hearts. Many who might with profit
cultivate the interior Of their heads,
waste their energies in growing
upon the exterior Of their crapiums a
useless covering that serves no good
purpose and which If not kept combed
will become q standing nuisance.
There are many reasons why hair on
the head is disadvantage. 1t is un-
slightly. 1t is apt to be red in youth
and white in old age. 1t may be
coarse in texture, matted, bushy and
full of hayseed under certain condi-
tions.
In summer it is hot and in winter the
winds blow through it. In the Scrip
lures we are told OF at least one
instance where promising young man
was caught in the limbs of a tree by
the hair OF his head and lost his life.
Better, far better would it have been
for Absalom if he had been bald. In
another book we are told tn at some
bad boys were punished with death
because they laughed at a prophets
bald head. You see from this that
hair on the head is likely TO get one
into serious trouble. Come with me
again to the pages of history and l
can cite you to many instances where
the Indians who inhabited this country
removed the scalps Of pioneers with
hairy heads, but who ever heard of
bald-headed man being scalped by an
1Ddian? Even in every day life there
is hardly married man present who
viii! not testify that hair on the head
is not only useless but often danger
Gus.
l have INDUCED in these remarks
not because I think it is necessary to
defend bald head, but because I feel |
that the public ought to know how
useless and idle is the habit Of wearing
hair.

The Popular Douglas Shoes.

There is no shoe made for mems
wear that has attained greater
popularity than the celebrated W. L.
Douglas shoe. The fact that they
combine style and quality at low
price have given them universal en-.
dorsement. The manufacture OF these
shoes has made it possible for man
in the most ordinary circumstances
to keep himself provided with foot
wear of as good style as the market
affords-the extremely low price at
which they are sold placing them with
in reach of all.
The only cheap quality in them how
ever is the price: in all other respects
they grade as high as any shoe in the
market. Their lasting qualities have
been fully tested and found to be un-
equalled. They are not only good
style when new, but retain their shape
and excellent appearance until com.
pletely worn out-a very rare quality
in even the highest priced shoes. They
are sold in Grenada by Jas. Pryor &
Co., who have just received new in
voice Of the various styles.
The Grenada sentinel., 1897-03-06

Persons inclined to take pessimistiC
view OF the economic future of the
negro in the South should carefully
ponder upon statistics of the prosperity
Of Georgia negroes CLEANED by the
Atlanta Journal, says an esteemed
contemporary, the Southern States
The negroes pay taxes upon SIS, 900, ,0O0
worth Of property in the State and
upon 1896, ,420 in Atlanta alone. In
Fulton county, outside the city limits,
they own 1921 acres of land, worth
$lll, 1856. In Atlanta there are three
negroes owning 91O, 600 worth Of proper
ty or more, and sixteen owning %, 600 or
more. The experience Of the Georgia
negroes is not unique, and 1t is valuable
as demonstrating the opportunities
before the race. Mississippi can cite
almost If not quite ss many instances
of the thriftness Of her colored citizens
as Georgia. There are a number in
this State who are prospering finely.
