the recent appointment of a receiver for that rail
road in South Carolna
New-York tribune., 1901-06-07

road in South Carolina
The statement concerning the appointment of a
receiver by the judge of local court in South
Carolina for the South Bound Railroad Is misiead-
The whole controversy arises from %i'd'D
damage suit, which the company proposes TO ap-
peal a higher court before acknow Lodging any
liability. The order issued 10y Judge Gage for a re-
ceiyer especially states that these proceedings
cannot affect the plan of the consolidation or the
South Bound Railroad with the Seaboard Air Line
Railway nor the lease Of the South Bound Kali
road to the Florida Central and Peninsular Rail-
road Company the SeabOard AIR Line RAILWAY
but affects only such property OF the South hound
Railroad is not leased. As all OF the property
of the South Bound Railroad is leased. the re-
ceivcr has nothing in his charge and no duties 10
perform. The action of the court does not inter
fere in any way with the control OF the operation
of the South Bound Railroad as heretofore by the
Seaboard Air Line Railway. and expect the whole
matter be promptly dismissed

WEATHER BUREAU REPORT
Satisfactory Progress In Wireless TeIeg-
raphy Experiments.

WASHINGTON, Dec o. - The an.
nual report of Professor Willis l..
Moore, cl!icf Of the United States wealth
er bureau, says that substantial i'm.
provemcnts have been made during tbe
past year in the weather bureau system
of wireless telegraphy. Such progress
has been made by the government ex-
perimcntcrs that with no interference
10y private systems stations can be sue
cesSfully operated over at least $50 miles
of coast line and are now in operation
along the Virginia and North Carolina
coasts aud soon will be instituted be.
tween the Farallone islands and the
mainland and Tatoosh island and the
mainland on the Pacific coast. The re-
port says "A system of merit and dis.
eiplinc has been gradually developed in
the weather bureau which not only con-
forms to the letter Of the civil service
law hut carries its spirit TO a logical con-
clusion."
The lines Of work pursued in previous
years by the climate and crop service of
the weather bureau were continued and
extensions and improvements made
wherever possible.
Professor Moore points with pride TO
the complete system the weather bu.
reau has for the accurate and complete
collection and dissemination of crop in.
formation, having a large number of pail
employees and volunteer observers and

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Bradstrest's Report on the Conditiou
of Business.

NEW YORK, Dec. Bradstreet's
weekly review of trade says
Retail distribution, stimulated by cold
weather and holiday influences, has been
very large and is reflected in a decid.
eGly good reaSSortiug demand from job
bcrs- Holiday trade, in fact. promises
t. be- of Unprecedented volume with de-
mand fOr better class Of goods. In
the great industries such as iron, coal
lumber. the textiles, jewelry, boots and
shoes and the various kindred and sun.
sidiary branches activity has been wide
spread. The demand for iron at highest
prices Of the year, except in wire and
nails. has only been limited by the ques.
ion Of obtaining supplies. In general
speculation the features. Of course, are
the continued advances in H. cereals,
provisions and raw cote i..yrnents
fraught with much in js lie agri.
cultural part Of the cu..m h. g..
The highest sustained prices Tor ni.e
years have been reached in a. % and oats
and wheat is at the highest for >uy,. teen
months, with the end of the movement
apparently not yet clearly in sight. The
advance in cotton has already induced
a more cheerful tone in Southern trade
and collections and business it is pre-.
dictcd will shortly improve
AdviceS to Bradstreet's are Of snow in
the drought-stricken southwest and OF
winter wheat prospects being improved
thereby. The rise in good staples and
metals is the basis for the apparent re.
sumption in the advance in the general
level prices noted in November.
Monthly failure returns are not ex.
ceSsive and less than in any but the past
two years, while liabilities compare very
favorably with the past Clearings are
unprecedented for this time Of year and
the outlook fayors total for the whole
country far in advance Of the hundred
billion mark and therefore the best on
record
Iron and steel are strong. and at the
highest prices Of the year. Inability to
obtain supplies is complained of all the
way from the furnace to the finished pro
duct Hardware is in good demand. Cop.
per is unsettled, and the tin boom has
collapsed.
