Cotton goods are rising also and print
cloths have been advanced an eighth, a
proposed sliding scale at Fab River
having probably averted a strike,
though at other cities higher wages
are demanded. Cotton advanced three
SixteenthS, the decrease of nearly 5O0,-
900 bales in exports this month, being
more than balanced by light receipts
from plantations.
Wheat wearied speculation. with
scarcely any change in prices for the
week. Though western receipts are 80
per cent below last years for the week
and have been in three weeks but 49,
565,e13 bushels, against S,544,199 last
year, the decrease in exports is heavy.
From Atlantic ports the outgO for three
weeks, flour included. has been only =
761,181 bushels, against II, 255, 153 last
year. Pacific exports for the three
weeks have been ZIP 457 bushels,
against 1876. 800 last year. The slen-
der foreign demand in Atlantic markets
with prices as low as they have been,
tends to prevent a rise in prices;
the exports of corn also have some in
huence, amounting for the three weeks
to II, 769,643 bushels against 1872, 033 last
year.
In spite of the great decrease in cot
ton and wheat, exports of merchandise
from New York have been nearly ST.
100000 larger for the week than last
year, and for three weeks only about
$500, 900, or 8 per cent smaller than last
year, when from all ports the value for
the month was 1929, 797, 1865, the largest
ever known, except in December and
the excess of exports over imports was
81 701, 137. Apparently manufactured
exports must now be very heavy, al
though prices have been rising. and the
increase in imports, though about IA
per cent for the month, can not reduce

MONEY IS PLENTY.
Dun Says There Has Been No Scar
city In General Trade.


New York, Nov. 25.-R. G. Dun &,
Cos Weekly Review of Trade says:
Monetary anxietfes have faded with
sales of bonds to the treasury under
the recent offer, the fall in sterling ex-
change in spite Of dearer money abroad
and easier here and the receipt of about
$3.50 600 net from the interior during the
week. There is no trouble in the com
mercial money market, as there has
been none and loans on securities have
ruled at easier rates. While the ex-
traOrdinary volume of business
throughout the country requires great
er activity of currency than in ordinary
times, there is no Indication that the
volume has not been ample all the year,
and the course of money markets
throughout the interior shows that the
embarrassment here has been due to
operations outside of the industries and
general trade.
The iron industry shows no yielding
in material, but a little advance in bes-
senior pig at Pittsburg, with large in
quiries for next year. Prices of rails
are maintained, with one contract re-
ported of 10000 tons for Japan, and an
other pending for South Africa a
single order for car axles covers Sc, 900,
or $500 tons. Structural prices do not
yield and angles are quoted higher. But
works which have nearly or quite filled
their orders are seeking orders, with
concessions of 81 per ton in eastern
in bars at Pittsburg, while cut nails
are quoted at lower. The general ratio
of prices for all finished products is now
Pa per cent lower than November I,
though the average for pig iron is
per cent higher. Copper is unchanged.
Tin has been depressed to 2712 by Lon
don speculation, lead is unchanged,
spe1ter is lower with rates at $40 and
aluminium is higher at So per cent for
ton lots. Heavy orders in the past are
reflected by shipments of boots and
shoes, amounting to 2S1,272 cases in
three weeks, 16.5 per cent more than in
1897 and 800 more than in 1894, with
other years still smaller. New business
is checked by continuing rise in prices
which have reached in some grades 20
cents per pair, with one large contract
in grain creole at 221z cents per pair ad-
vance.
Sales of wool pass all records, having
been at the three chief markets 81 694.-
203 pounds in three weeks of November,
whereas October sales in FIVE weeks
were but IS. 314, 9S9 pounds, and in only
one other full month have sales ever
reached sixty million pounds. The trad
ing is largely between dealers and
leaves no indication of consumption.
The demand for goods continues so
large as TO encourage much buying by
mills in spite of the advancing prices.

HEALING
THE SICK.
4 SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN.

The diagnosis of a case of sickness is
the first and by far the most important
part of a physicians work in bringing
back to health and strength his
patients, for unless it is correctly made
the medicines applied are more likely
to do harm than good. 1t is, therefore,
of the highest Importance to those who
are sick to secure the services of some
one whose superior knowledge will
guarantee a diagnosis correct beyond
the chance of doubt. Such a person is

TOMMY BR1rToN SOLD.
E a. Lord Pays $4,000 For the
Famous Trotter In New York.

ahOQS 41O6bSE Ii IN CIV OEh~
New York, Nov. 25-The attendance
Friday was the largest yet seen at the
F'asig-Tipton horse sale at Madison
Square garden. The great feature was
the sale of the stallion Tommy BrittOn,
by Liberty Bell, out of Keepsake. He
was sold to E. a. Lord of Chicago for
$40 900. When this was announced the
garden resOunded with applause.
Tommy BrittOn was fOaled in 1898.
He was bred by Thomas BrittOn of
Glenview, Ky, and is the winner of
nineteen heats lower than 2:10. He is
the worlds champion stallion for three
heats, 2:0814, 2:08A and 2:OSA. He is
the winner of twenty-five races, three
times second, twice third and twice
fourth out of thirty-two starts in races.
His former owner said of him:
The worlds champion stallion for
three heats is a record that shows the
possession of speed, sense, pluck, endur-
ance and sOundness, but it is not Tom
my BrittOn's only honor. He was SEN
satiOnal yearling, a sensational 2-year-
old (when he took the worlds race rec
ord at that age), a sensational Agar
old, a sensational 5-year-Old and a SEN
satiOnal '6-year-Old-a record that no
horse has ever equaled.''

London. Nov. 25.-sir Thomas Upton.

allegation that he has determined to

Il do not intend to challenge next

ranged about a challenge, nor will there

MORE SMUGGLING.
Charleston Gazette.

charleston Gazette.
From a Morgantown paper it is learned
that the executive committee of the Board
of Regents for the University has let the
contract for the construction of the library
and armory. The Legislature appropriated
$40 900 for the former and $4,000 for the
latter. Advices from Morgantown are to
the effect that the plans that have been
adopted, and on which the contract has
been let, contemplate buildings that will
cost more than double the amount of
money appropriated The committee state
that the stone work alone, OF the buildings
desired, and built after the plans adopted
will consume all the money that has been
provided by the Legislature for the COM
pletion of the buildings. 1t is difficult to
tell just what has been done in the matter
of letting the contract as the talk Of the
committee is ambiguous and vague. They
say that the contracts do not provide for
anything beyond the $4,000 appropriated,
yet they take care not to announce that
the contract contemplates the completion
of the buildings at that cost. From the
best information at hand it seems that the
committee has let a partial contract on
the plans adopted, the expenditure to be
kept within the $4,000 limit By the time
this amount has been expended the Legis-
lature will be in session again, and as the
buildings will not be half competed, the
Legislature will be called upon to put up
the amount necessary to complete them,
or else lose the $50, 000 already expended.
There will never be a better time for the
Legislature to draw the line strictly on
such underhanded schemes, than at the
next session Heretofore there has been
too much laxity I'M such matters. The
Legislature will have to give the boards of
public institutions to know that it means
what it says. When $4,000 is appropriated
to build and complete a building, it is not
intended that it may be used to build a
foundation for one costing double that
amount. Otherwise the taxpayers will
have no protection at all against the ex-
travagant ideas and schemes of those who
are interested in securing costly institu-
tons. The press of the State should take
up this matter at once, and serve notice
that the plan to ignore the law, and set
aside the will and judgment of the Legis-
lature in contracting for buildings which
cannot be completed within the amount of
the amount of the money appropriated,
will be vigorously opposed. This should be
done so that the committee may proceed
with it's eyes open. Such impositions on
the taxpayers of the State should be Wig
orously sQuelched
