Exnorts $1,000. 400 Greater Than in
1S06-The Lumber Trade Situation.
The volume of business done in Savan-
nah during 1897 affords most gratifying
evidence of The city's continued growth
and prosperity. 1t is true that in some
6epartments of trade results have not been
altogether quite as satisfactory as might
have been desired, owing to the low prices
of cotton, which have seriously restricted
gbe amount of available currency through
tut the entire south.
Considering this important disadvantage
he result is certainly remarkably encour-
: ging. For instance, the bank clearings,
he most reliable index of all, show an in
crease over last year of some $9,OOO,0OO or
nearly Is per cent. This is surprising when
At is taken into account the fact that cot
ION this season is bringing nearly $40 a
bale less than last year.
The great increase in quantity, however,
has more than made up for the lower
,)rice. foreign exports of cotton reaching
l6o124 bales in 1897. a against 2S2, 564 in
S96
The trade in naval stores has been in the
main very satisfactory, an advance of
about cents in the price of spirits tur-
13entine more than compensating for de-
cline in the price of rosin.
The aggregate value of all foreign ex
ports reaches the imposing figure of $26.
,i055l2. an increase over 1896 of nearly
S4,0000O0
The business in fertilizers has so far not
reached anything like the proper
lions of last season. This may
he due in some measure to
contemplated reduction in the quantity to
he used in connection with probable
duction of the next cotton acreage, but is
undoubtedly mainly attributable to a wait
ing policy on the part of intending pur-
chasers. Last year, anticipating enor-
nous demand and consequent possible eX-
haustion, they bought early while this
wear the CONTRARY is the case. They,
fancy that the demand will be much small
or and that they will be enabled later on
10 buy to much better advantage.

CHARITIES MOVING SLOW.
Relief Agents Is Yet Without Head
quarters.

The first monthly meeting of the con-
trolling board of the Charitable Associa-
ton will be held Tuesday afternoon and
matters of Importance are expected to
come up for consideration.
There seems, however, to be something
on the wheels of the concern which pre-
vents its moving, and the slow pace at
which it started has become the theme of
considerable talk by those who had hopes
of seeing an institution here that would
alleviate suffering and meet a necessity
the city has felt for years.
After inquiring about what was now be-
ing done and being Informed the associa-
ton elected a relief agent two weeks go
and had not yet provided him quarters a
member of the association said:
1.-THE cold weather is upon us and [ con-
fidently expected to have seen the
association at work. 1t has been making
prepare tons for business a long time and,
while l am willing and fully intend giving,
/ do not think the delay to matters which
comes from every hand, are at all help
full My sincere hope is the concern Will
accomplish something very SOON"
For time it was thought the associa-
TONS headquarters would be in the city
dispensary, the place suggested by Mayor
Meldrim. This was objected to, however,
by the committee having that institution
in charge The objection seemed justi-
fiably founded when it it known
that the city affairs which are i'm charge
of members of the aldermanic board are a
sort of hobby to them and they fear
that consolidating them with outside mat
tiers will kill the good work of whatever
institution is sought to be affected. 1t was
therefore that aldermen objected to lOcat-
ing the relief agent with the dispensary
and their reasons were considered good
ones
Where the association will locate head
quarters is not known, but it is expected
something will be said along that line
at Tuesdays meeting of the controlling
board.

NAVAL STORIES TWELVE MONTHS
Varying Conditions of the Industry
During the Year.

Varying Conditions of the Industry
During the Year.
Taken altogether the naval stores trade
from the opening Of the season on April
to the end of the calendar year of 1897, was
satisfactory to the producers. At least
such can be judged by the preparations
which are said to have been made for OPP
Grating the turpentine forests during the
coming season.
About a year ago, as is well known
among those interested in the trade, the
producers agreed to cut less boxes than
tiey did the previous year. This agree
ment appeared to be adhered to by the
majority of producers, the receipts for the
months of April, May and June showing
calling off of over % 900 casks of spirits tur-
pcntine.
AT that rate of decrease in the move
ment the crop would have been over $4,000
asks short of the previous season.
About that time a prominent exporting
irm began to purchase all of the offerings
At about "A cents a gallon, the lowest price
ot The year. The accumula ton of stocks in
he hands of the buyers became enormous,
md even when other exporters were anX-
Iods to get supplies to fill Orders this per-
f'stent concern advanced the price stead
y, to keep the others out of the market,
until it finally reached % cents a gallon.
Then The market was left open and a
gradual decline took place.. the price go
ing down few cents, but again advance
ing. and during the past tn rec months was
~ range between 1912 and 81 cents a gal
lon.
The decrease in the receipts during the
'arly part of the season, as compared with
DE previous year, did not continue. July
showed an increase Of 1000 casks, August
4 a decrease of 900 casks, S, ,ptember a de.
crease of 1000 casks, Octob er an increase
oi only us casks. November an increase of
800 casks and December an increase of
$50 casks. The heavy movement during

WAY AHEAD IN COTTON.
savannah Receipts since Sept. L $780,
Geo Bales Greater Than in 1896.

The receipts of cotton at Savannah since
Sept ], 1897. reached sec, SO6 bales, against
623 954 bales in 1896, an increase of 236, 552
bales During the same time the receipts
at all ports have been 5,506,S62 bales,
against 1909, 1O6 bales in 1896, an increase
of 597, 256 bales. From this it will be noted
that this port has received just about 40 per
cent. of the total increase, which is a very
favorable showing.
The general prevalence of extremely
large estimates of the crop has caused
prices to rule very low all the fall. These
large estimates have received some sup
port from the continuous heavy move
ment, and very likely prices would have
fallen still lower, but for the extraordinary
export demand which has taken care of the
receipts so well as to prevent any oppres-
siVe accumulation.
The movement during the next month or
so viii pretty well decide whether the crop
is to fall below 100000 bales or approx
innate 100000. In any event it is not be-
Heved that the price will go much, if any,
lower, as any further decline now must
necessarily soon react upon itself, for il
would be certain to cause a very general
restricting of the next acreage.

POLICE YEARS WORK.
over 5000 People Arrested During
1897


The police arrested over 5000 persons last
year; nearly double the number arrested
in 1896. Minor offenses. and violations of
city ordinances such as are usually called
docket cases. figured largely in the num-
Der of arrests. In this way the large in
crease in the number of people arrested
does not mean a corresponding increase in
crime.
The detectives made something over $50
arrests and recovered stolen property val
ued at over $i7, 900. Of over 50 bicycles re-
ported as stolen, over 70 were recovered.
OF the persons arrested. something over
$500 were colored. and about 1900 were

Crack Racing at ThunderbOIt in
Spite of the Cold.
An enthusiastic crowd witnessed the
races at Thunderbolt yesterday. The
weather was cold and the audience found
it very uncomfortable to sit through the
programme.
The track was in good condition and the
events were close and exciting. Mr.. J.
]. Egan's road mare Queen Wilkes won
the 2:30 class after a hard battle of five
heats. TRINA won two heats and showed
his ability to step close to 2:30.
The deciding heat was very close be-
tween Queen Wilkes and Trilma. Both
horses went a fine mile of it and when
they passed under the wire Queen Wilkes
only had a nose the best of it. During the
third heat of this race Tom Kerr met with
an accident. driving Lizzie ON. which
resulted in the breaking of the sulky
wheel Kerr was thrown from the suiky,
but escaped injury. The little
mare ran down the stretch
but was captured by one Of the stable
boys as she passed the grand stand.
The three-quarter DASH running. was
hot affair from start to finish. Miss Mod
red, the crack runner of the Reedy stable
was first, with Santa Marie second The
other entries were all punched together.
Lucy another Charleston entry, sprang
a surprise on the talent by winning the
half mile heats
1t was a spirited contest and the start
ers were together all the way. Lucy finish
ed first with Hands OFF second. The time
made, :5lla, was quite fast for cold day

of the ninth inning they won by a score Of

TO INSPECT POLICE PRISON.
Council Committee VIII Now See
What Is Wanted.

What Is Wanted.
Now that the holidays are over, the com
mittee of council on public lots will ar
range with the police commission TO visit
the police barracks and ascertain what
Is needed there in the way Of additional
facilities.
At first the committee contemplated Wis
iting the barracks before the holidays but
it was agreed to postpone the inspection.
An arrangement will be made with the
police commission to visit the bar
racks this week and look over
the situation. Probably the best
results could be accomplished all
around, were the commission TO arrange
for visit of councils committee at some
time when the guard house is well filed
with prisoners This would enable the
committee TO obtain a clearer idea of the
necessity for improvements, il is said, and
give ample evidence of the commissions
claims.
1t is asserted that two much of this
evidence cannot be given. as council seems
inclined to scrutinize the commissions ex-
penditures closely
Some idea Of their feelings in this re
gard was had at last Wednesday nights
meeting of the committee of
the whole. when Commissioner
Netsburg appeared before them and asked
for an additional appropriation TO main
tain the police department. Exception
was quickly taken when Mr.. Vetsburg
read out, among other items, that of $4,000
for keeping thirty-one horses. To the OBJ
jections some explanation was offered by
Mr.. Vetsburg, but still the board seemed
dissatisfied and afterward determined to
make no increase whatever. Maj Karow
was heard on the same line by council,
but he too got frosty hand, in so far
as any increase is concerned.
Alderman Smith stated yesterday. how
ever. that his committee would be
called this week to look over what i'm
provements are needed and intlmated that
the expenditure of the entire 81 600 set
apart by council for the purpose, might
be recommended. If it is recommended TO
spend the entire $4,000 that will mean the
erection of a modern guard house because
the amount is thought to be amply sufTi-
cient for that purpose.
The committee is determined, however,
to give the department such improvements
as will remove all reasonable cause for
complaint.
