FRUIT GROWERS IN MACON.
WILL DEMAND SAME RATES TO
EAST AS TO THE WEST.

Georgia Growers state That the Out
look for the Crop Is Very Fine.
"Dressing Down" Given the
Eastern acknowledgements OBJ
server Weeks Tells of the Methods
of California Growers to Save
Their Fruit From Cold.
Macon, Ga. May 3.-The Georgia Fruit
Growers met here to-day with about ff-
ty members present. officers were elected
for the ensuing year, and the railroad
rates committee was continued, being in
structed to go before the commission and
do everything possible to have the rates
to the East reduced to a level with those
to the West. The difference now, it is
claimed, is 30 per cent. ana the fruit
growers see no reason for it.
Messrs. D. M. Hughs of Danvllle, Va,
and F. W. Hazlehurst of Macon were re-
spectively reelected president and secre-
tary of the association, and r. A. Math-
'ews of Fort Valley vice president
A number of speeches were made by
prominent growers from different sections
of Georgia, it being stated that the out
look for the crop is very fine. 1t was
stated that in all orchards that had been
cultivated there would be a good yield,
and that cold weather had done absolute
" no harm. Some claimed that the yield
would be even larger than last year. En-
tomologist Scott could not be present,
but he sent in a paper in which he re-
viewed the situation in the state, and es-
timated the probable dropping off during
this month and next, but he conceded
that the outlook was good for an average
crop.
The morning session was devoted to dis
cussion of the curculio and the afternoon
was given TO dressing down the Eastern
railroads. One of the features of the
meeting was paper by Weather OBJ
server John r. Weeks of Macon, who told
of the various methods used in Califor-
MIA for protecting fruit against unfavor-
able weather. He said that some orchard
lists run trenches among their trees and
transmit boiling water to all parts of the
orchard when there is danger from oold
weather. He says this seems to be feast
BILE where an engine and boiler can be
used for other purposes when not in
use for this. He said that baskets with
fire i'm them, hanging about in the
orchards, is another method of keeping
off the ravages of cold after the sap be-
gins to arise in the trees.

New York, May 3.-The real opening of

racing at Morris Park. The horses ha,
been running at Aqueduct for some days,
but the real high class horses do not
appear there and the society element does
not lend its favor until the hills and

showers of last night as the strong wind

BUSINESS OUTLOOK BRIGHTER
nut the Textile Situation Is Very
Unsatisfactory.

Tut the Textile Situation Is Very
Unsatisfactory.
New York, May S.--Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say:
Inc sansuiue feeling as to trade and
speculation finds reflection in the enorm-
Gus activity in stock speculation, which
has attracted much money from the usual
commercial channels and expanded clear
lngs to unheard of totals. Warm, sunny
weather is helping retail trade in the
cities and is likewise affording the farm
ers favorable opportunity TO complete
corn planting. General business the coun-
try over may be classed as satisfactory
The iron and steel trades though report
ing somewhat of lull in the cruder
forms, continue to furnish the best re-
ports while the textile industries return
the least favorable accounts.
The textiles are relatively the worst
situated of all the Industries The slow
ness of demand for cotton goods on do
nestle account has been the cause of d
reduction of print cloths of 3-16c which,
following the decline of lsc last week,
makes net decline of 5-16c in ten days.
Curtailment of production by the mills
limits stocks, but does not help demand.
Export business. however. is better, and
there is scarcity of brown cottons re-
ported.
The crop situation at present is quite
encouraging. Warm sunny weather is
helping corn and cotton and wheat main
tains generally good condition, not
outstanding reports of damage by in
sects in the Southwest Cotton crop adj
vices are fairly good, ana an increase in
acreage is still foreshadowed, despite
much replanting having been necessary
in Alabama, Georgia and in Tennessee,
where the scarcity of seed for this pur-
pose is remarked. Grain planting is al
most finished in the Northwest
Iron trade production naturally appears
to be catching up with demand in the
cruder forms first. Bessemer pig iron is
% cents lower this week, and sales have
been made of Southern pig so cents be-
low the asking price of some weeks ago
although Birmingham reports schedules
adhered to.
Failures for the week number 1863 as
compared with PA last week, and 1853 in
