was met by heavy realizing sales for
both outside and local account. This
brought about a cent decline, after which
prices ruled firm until near the close
when a denial of the Missouri State crop
report, which was a factor yesterday
gave traders enough courage and under
their selling stop loss orders We're reach
ed. and another cent was lost. On this
break there was excellent buying for
commission houses and local account

evidenced by the weekly clearances, 563.-

scalping mood. Country acceptances Of

port better demand Receipts 2Ul cars,

BRADsTREET's ON THE WEEK.
Trndc Advices in the Main Consider
ed rs Being Cheerful.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
"Copious rains throughout the western
half of the country have had the expected
effect OF inducing more cheerful tone,
and the feeling is decidedly more hopeful
than it was a week or more ago. The
rains practically ensured a large spring
wheat crop, and put an end to the talk
of absolute destruction in the corn belt,
although the damage already done ap-
pears to have been serious, judging from
the strength OF the corn market itself
and the advices OF heavily reduced yields,
which are reiterated from the sections
affected.
"Bradstrcet's advices point to the early
corn crop as practically a failure in the
leading surplus producing States west of
the Mississippi, but late corn undoubtedly
has been saved, and as time elapses esti-
mates of production are being raised. The
Western farmers are evidently recover
ing their courage, and the rush of cattle
and hogs to market has been stopped, the
recent rains apparently ensuring plentiful
forage supplies for the animals during the
ensuing season.
From the rest Of the country trade ad-
vices are in the main quite cheerful. and
despite the intense neat ana drought OF
July an extraordinarily large business ap-
pears to have been done, which is reflect
ed in the bank clearings for that month.
Cotton crop conditions improved at the
South as a result of the recent rains and
trade advices are SpOndingly more
cheerful. Pacific Coast crop advices are
also better, although shipping activity is
interfered with at San Francisco by a
strike.
TIE Northwest will produce crops
largely in excess of last year, and heavy
fall trade is anticipated in that section.
The poorest advices naturally. come from
the Central West and Southwest, but il
is significant that points like Kansas City
report that cancellations have stopped and
that the outlook is much better. Lines of
trade most active in the country at large
are groceries. particularly canned goods
produce generally, leather and hides,
wooden goods. finished products of iron
and steel and building materials, while
cotton goods are quiet but firmly held and
the expected dissolution of the Fail River
print cloth pool exercises no effect.
THE feeling in dry goods 1obbing cir
cles is that recent crop scares will make
the fun season later than usual Some
metals. like copper, are weaker, bitumin-
Gus coal prices are not so strong, and the
production of rubber boots and shoes is
to be reduced.

Yesterday was very duh in the stock
market. the amount Of business probably
being as small as on any previous day
this summer. Early in the session 4 de
cline began which caused many to believe
that the market might have Il rather Sc
rious break. Later. however, the Steel
securities advanced again and other
stocks followed suit. so that at the close
there was very little in the way of net
movement anywhere in the list. Business
was almost wholly professional in its ma
ture. supporting orders by keene and his
lieutenants furnishing ~ exception. The
market is likely to be dull for some time
to come. Opinions as To its probable ten
denCy vary, some people believing that
the failure of the two parties in the labor
war to come to an agreement VIII result
in a break of importance. while others
hold to the idea recently expressed more
than once that the strike has been wholly
discounted as a bear factor and that Mr..
Kcene does not intend to allow break,
no matter how bad the strike develop

WOULD BE BAD FOR M'LAURIN.
TILLMAN WOULD BEAT HIM AT MUD
SINGING.

Ax the Senior Senator Has Nothing
to Lose and the Junior Is Candi-
Date for sRe-eIection the Former
Would BE at a Decided Advantage
The People Want TO Hear the Is
sues Debated, HOwever-TaIN OF
Excluding McLaurin From the
Democratic Primary Not Likely to
Amount to Much.
Columbia, S. c.. April 25.-In view OF
the active interest Senator Tillman has
been manifesting in Senator McLaurin's
actions and the wel-known fact that the
senior senator has had Congressman Lat
inner in training for Mr.. McLaurin's
place, there is a general desire to see the
two senators meet on the stump and dis
cuss questions that interest the public.
This cannot be done without the consent
of Mr. McLaurin, who, pending the open
ing of the campaign, can refuse to attend
a meeting which Tillman is invited to ad-
dress, and after the campaign opens, Till
man, not being a candidate, cannot par
sicipate.
While a mud-slinginS match might be
sdifying TO some il would not be instruc-
tive, and it would be poor policy on the
part of McLaurin to engage in a contest
of this kind Besides the fact that Till
man is the recognized champion in this
kind of battle on the stump,
he would be nvulnerable 10 any
thrusts from McLaurin, his election
not being involved. So the junior senator
would have all to lose while Tiliman
risked nothing.
1t has been urged that McLaurin be
barred from the Democratic primary be-
cause of his votes with the Republicans,
and in some quarters it is believed this
will be done. But such action by the
Executive Committee will be opposed by
a good many who do not agree with Nc
Laurin. These argue that 1t would be "A
dangerous precedent to permit the Execu-
tive Committee of the party in the state,
to sit in judgment on a congressman's
politics as viewed by votes in Washing
ton. This would give a majority of the
committee power to settle the fate of
public men without consulting the peo-
pie. and on questions not covered by the
rules of the party. The committee Will
probably be satisfied with requiring of
McLaurin the usual primary pledge, that
he will abide by the result of the cleo
ton. Then the people will do the rest.
There will be opposition to cutting off
a free discussion and a fair fight. The Is
sues are clear enough on which to make
q clear clean cut contest, and South Car
olina has certainly had enough of the
other kind of fighting.

stnnrt's Dyspepsia Tablets.

There is a cure for dyspepsia. Sufferers
who have tried noXious nostrums Will
probably be skeptical but skepticism van
ishes when Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets
are tried. Whether the trouble is dyspep-
STA of long standing, or merely simple
case of indigestion, relief is prompt and
pronounced. The less the trouble the few
er tablets need be taken.
Heaviness after eating, sour stomach, as
indicated by belching, fatigue with slight
exertion, or with no eXertion at all, dis
turbed sleep, nervousness constipation,
depression, blues" these things can COM
monty be set down as symptoms of dys-
epsia. And dyspepsia is merely indiges-
ton in an aggravated form.
BY promoting perfect digestion, Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets produces strong nerves,
restful. refreshing sleep, pure blood and
good sound healthy flesh. They make the
skin clear, the eyes bright the mind
cheerful
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are medi-
cine and more than medicine. They di-
gesst the food and make it easy of assim-
ilation, and they relieve the infiamed, dis
eased condition of the membraneous lin
ings and the glands of the stomach and
bowels. They help the digestive organs
over the hard places, and put them into
healthy, active condition. They effect n
quick and permanent cure You don't
have to continue taking them forever,
still it is well to have box handy and
take one at the first return of the trouble.
Perfectly well people are made sick by
eating too much, or unWholesome 1000,
but not if they take a tablet after eating.
Treatment with Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
let's does not necessitate dieting or any
change of habits. They digest the proper
food and act upon the other kind in such
a way as to make 1t pass off quickly and
harmiessIy. You may eat and drink what
you like. when you like, and as much as
you like If you take a tablet afterwards.

posed by Prof. D. c, Barrow, who fihs
the chair of mathematics in the univer-
sity:
A hundred years Of toll and care
Our mother freely gave,
A hundred years of thought and prayer,
o. mother. kind and brave;
And now from all her borders wide
Old Georgia's sons are come.
High swell their hearts with Joy and
pride,
And glad they gather home.
Wide swings our mothers open gate,
Hard beats her heart with love,
No king who sits in regal state,
Can such array approve.
Her stalwart sons are here in bands,
No homage do they share,
She sees the labor of her hands,
She sees her answered prayer.
Our rock-ribbcd bills forevermore
Their silent strength express,
Our wide plains yield a bounteous store,
A people rich to bless;
And Georgians love our Georgia land,
From Dade to Glynns blue tide;
But, mother. though our land be grand,
Thy sons are Georgia's pride.
o God who gave the req hills might,
And spread the fertile land,
Thy word has been our mothers light,
Her strength, thy guiding hand.
In simple faith her sons were taught,
To work and watch and pray,
To shun the paths with evil fraught,
And walk in wisdom's way.
Prof. d. c. Barrow, is brother Of Hon
Pope Barrow, of Savannah, a most layal

PEACH CROP WILL BE SHORT.
EntOmoIogist scott Gives His Rea-
sons for This Prediction.

Atlanta. April Estate Entomologist
w. NJ. Scott is firm in the opinion that
there will be only thirty-ive to forty
per cent. of the average peach crop this
year. The crop, he says, has been cut
down fully one-half by the intermittent
cold spells, and further loss of 10 to 25
per cent. of the crop remaining may be
counted on.
There are three causes for this" said
Mr.. Scott to-day. In the first place the
stems have probably been weakened con-
siderably by the recent cold spell. This
will cause considerable more dropping
than usual in June. In the next place the
cureudo or beetle which days the eggs
that makes worms. is already getting in
its work. and much is also to be feared
from the brown rot this year. because
there are still many of the spores on the
trees. Orchard men are spraying with
bordeaux, a mixture OF bluestone and
lime for brown rot and they should add
two ounces to fifty gallons of bordeaus,
for the cureulio."
