Slight Hinderances.
Savannah. Sept. 1-While some of the
leading departments suffered slight de-
clines, owing 10 foreign conditions, the
general trade of the week is reported to
be satisfactory, considering the fact that
business is at present passing through its
dullest season. The bank clearings OF
81, S6l, 1851, compared with the correspond
ing week in 1898, show an increase of $s24.

shown during the past few weeks For the
past two or three weeks the cIearlngs
have not shown an increase of more than
100000, as compared with the correspond
ms. period of last year.
Owing to conditions in Liverpool and
New York, the cotton market responded
in a decline during the week, though
Thursdays drop of 1-16c probably means d
letting up. 1t is not commonly believed
that prices will go off any further The
tenor of Liverpool cables to-day and the
advance in futures had a wholesome effect
on all the leading exchanges, some oil
which responded with advances. New
York closed at a net gain of and points
The close of the week wound up the
months business in the naval stores mar
ket. A satisfactory business was doing
all week, notwithstanding there were sew
eral things TO interfere. Factors were
busy filling contracts, which kept the mar
ket in a partial state of uncertainty ow-
ing to the fact it could not be told until
all contracts were off hands what offer
ings there would be. Then there was a
slight delay in the work of naval stores
inspectors on the wharves by reason of
the bad weather. Despite little interfer-
ences the weeks business was considered
good, and such as to promise an improve
ment for the succeeding week.
In the wholesale departments business
was fairly active, though there was moth
ing to stimulate trade. The following re-
sumo of the different markets will show
the tone and quotations at the close to-
day:

GOOD BUSINESS DONE.
business in Futures Brisk at Higher
Prices.


New York, Sept. 1.-The speculative
movement in cotton futures was not so
active to-day, yet a very comfortable
business was transacted at higher range
of prices. The market opened quiet with
prices 2l4 points higher on buying, chief
ly by shorts, following the Liverpool ca
bles, which were better than expected
There was further improvement soon af-
ter the call. when selling set in, owing
to rumors of good rains in Central Tex
as. The receipts at the ports were also
bearish factors. Liquidation became a
prominent feature, but the shorts were in
clined to take profits, and after most of
the early improvement had been lost
there was a renewed upward movement on
continued covering with the trading level
at noon, 203 pointes higher than the clos
ing figures of the previous day, with some
evidence of renewed outside buying
Trading was generally, however, confined
to local operations, with a more or less
disposition to even up In anticipation
of Mondays holiday. In the afternoon the
market was decidedly firm on persistent
covering by room shorts, and exception
ally light offerings. The close was
steady at net gain of 6d8 points.

Like the modern cowboy yell OF the
western troops in the Cuban campaign,
the war cries and slogans of the an
cient Irish clans often had much effect
In inspiring fear In the enemy and
courage and enthusiasm in the COM
mand. The simplest and most fire.
quent OF old Erin's war cries was
"Faire, faire," signifying watch" or
look out" 1t was precautionary sig
nal and was commonly written Ear
rah." From 1t the modern "hurrah"
Is supposed to have been derived. An
other cry was "A buaidh," which
meant ito the victory" 1t was pro-
nounced "aboo," and followed the
name Of the clan, or leader, according
to circumstances, like "O'Neill aboo,"
or "Clann Conail aboo." Frequently
"a buaidh" Is construed incorrectly in
modern English to mean forever"
That translation applies to "go brath, 4"
hut not "a buaidh." The famous Irish
cry of "Fag an bealach," meaning
'clear the way" scared the spunk out
OF the French soldiery in the PENN
sular war.

Again.
A woman In England has recently
discovered the peculiar virtues OF tie
ivy leaf as means OF bringing up
pristine freshness to solled, faded or
spotted gown. This is her recipe:
Pick about twenty Ivy leaves, young,
green ones by choice, wash them care
fully and place them In jug or basin.
Add about one pint of boiling water,
cover up the basin or Jug and leave
all to soak for two or three hours,
when the cleanser will be ready for
use. Meanwhile the garment must be
Thoroughly brushed inside and out, and
all untidy braid or lining removed
from the bottom. When ready, spread
II on the table and carefully sponge II
with the Ivy water. II must then be
wrung out dry, when Il will be found
to have recovered It's former color and
to look quite like new. Black silk may
be cleaned in the same manner, but II
needs more care. II the silk Is in the
breadths II must be lightly sponged
and then tightly rolled over n cloth
wound round a roller and left to dry.
Black lace may also be renovated when
soiled or brown with age by sponging
Il with Ivy water and then rolling Il
over cloth wound round a collar. II
