 Gurley Herald: The Enterprise spoke factory has recently doubled the capacity of their plant and are now making 5000 spokes per day, and are woking twenty seven men. They say that if the demand for squokes continues as great as it is now they may put in another lathe. Owing to the demand lately they have had to turn away orders, and have on hand now orders for nine car loads of spokes. Their pay role each month will average not less than $1 300.
 Tuscaloosa Gazette: Messrs. D. l.. Rosenau, w. W. Wilds, N H. Burt and others directly connected with the Cotton dale factory are daily visitors to the mill. Everything up there is putting on signs of new life. It is to be hoped to get the mill started in very short time and already operatives are moving in and occupying the company's cottages The houses are being whitewashed, painted and repaired and things generally are taking on a very lively appearance. The mill is being got ten in first-class condition. New machinery is being put in and the factory will be thoroughly up to date when the time for running comes. The spindles will be start ed first and 1t will take probably month after work begins before enough thread is ready, warps made and everything pre- pared for turning out cloth.

BUSINESS AND UNCERTAINTY

From the St. Louis Post-DispaJtch.
 The men who are holding the president to a dilaltory course and thus maintaining un- certainty, plead the business interests. Only the nimble speculaltor whose business Is gambling finds profit in such con dition The stock market is sensitive and responds quickly to the ups and downs of the White House barometer, which regis ters the moods of a president who seems not to know his own mind. Business men demand firm and definite policy. They cannot aord to face another six months Of delay after the prolonged depression from which we are just emerging. War itself IS better than peace which is always on the ragged edge of war. The president is play ing into the hands of the ticker men.

WHAT BRADSTREET SAYS

New York, April 1.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 A week of rather quieter general trade and of smaller distribution, due to easily explainable causes, closes a quarter which has been eminently satisfactory to nearly all branches of trade and productive of an unprecedented business in many favored lines. The heavy foreign demand for our products, particularly agricultural staples, and the domestic movement in most lines are evidenced by the heavily increased bank bearings reported for the quarter and the effect the commercial mortality is favorable reflected in total for the first three months of 1S9S of failures and of lf- abilities involved, smaller than in the cor responding period for four years past.
 Evidence is not lacking that the stimula- tion to the woolen goods industry, grow ing out of the tariff changes last year, is responsible in some measure for the un- readiness of manufacturers to go ahead as confident now as they did year ago.
 Coarse Cotton Trade
 Little or no improvement is found in the coarse cotton goods trade and print cloths have marked a new low record in quota tions of 1-16 cents for regular goods. There is a rather more quiet condition as regards new demand for iron and steel at most markets and some shading in quota tions Is claimd, but the business doing is on an immense scale. Good weather at the south favors an early planting season, but business based upon this has not been of such a volume as to make up for the quiet ing in demand noted at number of coast cities and at river points, where high water Is limiting business to some extent. Export trade dn New Orleans is reported checked by increased freight and insuranc rates growing out of the present unsttled foreign situation.
 Price Situation Encouraging
 The price situation is on the whole quite encouraging this week, oats, four print cloths and hides being the most prominent among the decreases mentioned, while wheat corn, lard, coffee cotton and sugar are higher and the list of staples unchanged in price appears the most numerous ex- ports of wheat, flour included, are smaller than for some weeks past, but are much larger than in corresponding periods Of previous years, aggregating S55O,664 bushels against 3,Ss60OO bushels last week and 1464. .ei5 bushels in this week of last year
 Corn exports are, on the other hand' larger than for some weeks past, aggre- Rating 4,40722 bushels, against 4,4s6 zof bushels hast week and 4,T0,18 bushels last gear.

IRON AND STEEL HOLD UP
Close of Quarter Which Has Been Satisfactory to All Branches of Trade and Produc- ton of Unprecedented Business
 in Many Favored Lines.

New York April f-R. G. Dunn 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade will say tomorrow: "The war cloud which many have inferred must have greatly increased commercial disasters, does not appear to have any effect as yet and while there is some de- cline in the new orders for industries near ly all live works are covered so far ahead that the differences is not felt
 The outgo of bread stuffs continues, Att lantic exports being 2,566, ,22O bushels, flour included for the week, against 2,1S5,37S last year and for the past five weeks from both coasts the exports have been 16,592,97 bu. against S,226256 last year.
 Meanwhile corn exports have been for the week S,767,O2s bushels against 4,2s1,- 621 last year.
 Wheat Has Declined
 Wheat has declined slightly, but corn has advanced one quarter of a cent for the week. Cotton has advanced an eighth be- cause of the idea that production may be reached although receipts from plantations thus far have been greater by about iO0,- GOO bales than in 1885 from the largest crop ever raised, and while the mills are now nearly all active the consumption does not exceed the maximum. The smallest sales of woolen of many years are reported at Boston and at the three chief markets sales have been only 6,5OO pounds for the week and about a fifth of last years for the quarter. The stocks held by manufacturers have evidently been much greater than anybody supposd and they are not yet buy ing after several months of waiting, nor showing any disposition to buy though nearly all their works are running full.
 Iron and Steel show No Decrease
 The iron and steel markets show no de- crease, for with works fully employed and some additional works put into opera ton for government purposes, pig is not lower anywhere.
 Billets are still scarce and sheet bars are in demand Prices for manufactured products are unchanged, although rails are a shade stronger.
 FailuIes for the week have been 22O in the United States against 260 last year.

HOW THE GURKHAS FIGHT.

They Punctuated Their Attacks OF q For
lress With Football Games.
Not two miles from Nilt progress was
again aIrested-and this time for weeks
by the fortresses of Thol and Nahum.
These seemed impregnable, for where
the slopes Of the cliff were not inaccesSi-
bic the defenders had turned the water
course on the eige of them, so that they
were quickly coated with ice.
In front of these strongholds the Off
GERS and Gurkhas played football every
afternoon, the latter, who were very
keen, kickifg the ball without bending
the knee. The Hunzas, however, object
ed to the game, and as soon as one COM
menced would open fire, which the
players regarded not. So the Kanjutis
started game of polo ON the maiden
outside ThOl, but the British fire was
more effective, for the Gurkhas are
capital marksmen, and the game was
soon dropped. Finally a Dogra sepoy
named Nagdu discovered a gully which
seemed possible and ascteded this alone.
The following night, 80 Gurkhas
and % Dfgras of the imperial service
troops under Lieutenant Manners
Smith, an expert cragsman, hid at the
foot Of the gully and remained shivering
there for hours, until at early dawn
the remainder of the force diverted the
enemy's attention by continuous fire.
Followed by his 90 Gurkhas, Man
ners-Smith commenced the perilous as
cent, and behind them came Taylor and
his Dogras, with the mUrtifying result
that after two hours climbing the gully
was found to be blocked. Steps were
retraced TO where the gully forked, and
there he again led upward IN such
manner that had one of the leaders
missed his hold most of the party
might have been swept away.
This time they were right, and the
leaders were within 90 yards of the first
sangar before being perceived. The
alarm being given, the interchange of
shots at once ceased, and all attention
was directed to the daring climbers
Rocks and showers of stones were pour
ed down, but the little band had passed
the most exposed points, and only a
few were destroyed. Calmly they swung
themselves up from rock 10 rock until
at length the pluckly subaltern and a
few OF his men were seen to storm the
first sangar. the defendants scattering
