BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen from
Wall Street.

New York, Aug. 1.-two strong con-
fiicting influences, crops and money,
are at work in the stock market. The
promise of a bountiful harvest is a
most powerful support to values in
spite of their high level; yet the prac-
teal certainty that any extensive oper-
ations on the bull side just now would
precipitate sn1rp Stl.n3ency and pos
sible trouble in the financial markets
effectually stops any excessively back
ed operations j. that quarter. While
unusual crop and business demands
are close in sight, the hank reserves,
not only at the East but throughout
the country, are at a very low ebb
owing to the tremendous expansion in
credit during the last few years. AS
stated last week, loans in American
banks have increased $685., 900, 900 in a
year, while the Increase in re-
serve items was less than 1884,
100000. 1t is certain, there
fore, that no additional strain can
be imposed upon our credit system,
until the crop and business require
ments have been safely financed, with
out grave risks, which are not likely to
be invited by those who really control
market movements. Two possible
sources of temporary relief may be
cited: Gold imports, or liquidation by
some of the syndicates which have
been chiefly responsible for present
conditions. Little or no help can be
expected from the treasury, as in for
mer years, when the government was
Withdrawing unnecessary sums from
the market. Gold imports are not at
all improbable in case of severe string
ency; for the three great banks of Eng
land, Germany and France are all
we'll supplied with gold, especially the
Bank of France, which is carrying the
largest amount in its history, and if
the precious metal is needed here it
will quickly come in spite of our pres
ent increasing Indebtedness to Europe.
The stock market appears to be IN
a sound and strong condition Efforts
may be made by minor cliques or spec
ulators to put up prices, but buyers
should wait to ascertain the movements
of the real leaders, who will probably
bide their time for the most favora BILE

THE STATE CONVICT SYSTEM.
A Fitzgerald Man Who Is Not Yet
Satisfied With 1t.

Sat1Sue0 with 1t.
Fitzgerald, Ga, Aug. 1.-THE con-
Wet lease system being up for dis
cussion it is much to be able even to
look the subject fairly in the face
Our legacies from slavery" are often
heard of. There must be something
in this in the way of sentiment to
enable this system to survive 1t
should suffice that the natural tendency
is towards discrimination and harsh
ness against small offenders. Long
terms on the Changing are often met
ed out to them for small offenses. This
should not be supplemented by cruel
ties in the hands of irresponsible par
ties.
Let US introduce the first element
of sound reasoning into our views of
this subject If an offender is SEN
fenced to a term of Imprisonment and
labor in the name of the state, the
state is under obligat ton to see to 1t
that it be this and not something
else; not death by torture, for instance,
or all the cruelties of the Spanish in
QUESTION. If this be not often the
case, the state has no guarantee that
1t may not be in any case, when she
turns the convicts oversinto the hands
of irresponsible parties to be dealt
with according to their pleasure.
The state cannot shirk her RESPONSE
bilities without becoming guilty of the
crimes committed on account of such
Sinking. If she undertakes to deal
with offenders at all she must see to
it that the sentence she imposes is
carried out according to the letter and
spirit, and not some entirely different
punishment inflicted.
The slave had the rrOteption NJ the
self-interest of his master. That was
something, although it might be over
ruled by passion or naturally hard
temper. The convict has not even
this protection.
In the middle ages it was customary
for the gneat to have under their
castles dungeons for their prisoners
Here were instruments of torture, and
when they were used the howl of the
tortured and the groans of the prison.
ers always could be heard by the oc-
cupants above. These, mingled with
the festive mirth, and were no doubt
as good as any music in their ears.
This system has been done away with
generally Let us do away with 1t
here in the South; let us clean out the
old dungeons: some of us, at least,
would feel more comfortable, and the
state would take her place among civ
ilNed nations.
The writer of this is not quite a
sentimentalist. He has not arrived at
the fine spun theories that make of
the offender merely victim of cir
cumstances to be pitied rather than
punished. Let there be furnishing; let
it be strict, even severe, but at the
same time let it be just and equal;
let it be humane and reformatory in
as high degree as possible; let the state
assume her responsibilities and take
upon herself to see that it be so, not
leave it to haphazard methods and ir-
responsible persons.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

Grain Stronger After the bureau
Report-COttOn Slightly Better.
The view expressed here last Mon
day that immediate purchases of wheat
would probably prove to be near bot
tom, as the bureau report would hard
ly justify extreme bearish opinions, ap-
pears to have been pretty nearly cor
rect, at least so far. On Monday Sep
TENDER wheat closed at the lowest
o|1Sc. That afternoon the bureau re-
port came out, and while it was, of
course, a favorable report, it fell short
or the bears expectations. The mar
ket turned strong at once, and by Fri
day had risen 4c to 711sc for Septem-
Der. reaction followed on Saturday,
the final close being about roc; Deem
Der closed 66%c.
The truth is, the market is heavily
oVersold, and prices have been unduly
depressed. Even with a good sized
crop, there is no good reason for wheat
TO be selling so much lower than the
other leading food stuffs of the world
Wheat is cheap enough to be bought
now on all the weak spots, and car
ried with confidence.
The report was more bearish on
corn than on wheat, as it gives a fair
promise of the largest corn crop on
record. But it must not be forgotten
that last years crop failure has re-
suited in the usual reserve stocks of
old corn being practically exhausted
Therefore, there seems no cause for
corn to sell as low this year as it
usually does when two or three big
crops occur in succession. Corn, like
wheat, failed to hold all it's earlier
strength, but December closed 1c high
er at 40Mc.
Cotton was fairly active, and fuc-
tuated good deal over a range of
somewhat more than 20 points. The
close was rather heavy at an advance
of 10 to II points for September and
beyond; August only points higher.
While crop reports are mixed many
localities reporting damage more or
less serious from one cause or another.
yet generally speaking the outlook is
more favorable than usual at this sea-
son. VIM. T. Williams,

COUNCIL DECLINED THE OFFER.
Griffin VIII Have No Sewers for

Griffin VIII Have No Sewers for
Some Time to Come.
Griffin, Ga. Aug. 1.-THE negotia-
tons which have been on foot for some
time past between the City Council
and the Sanitary Sewer Company of
Philadelphia, looking to the introduce
ton of a sewerage system for Griffin
are all off, and the indications are
that Griffin will be without sewers for
some time to come. Rush Taylor of
New York has been in the city for sew
eral weeks. endeavoring to secure the
franchise for the Sanitary Sewer Com
pany, and, although he made very lib
eral offers Council thought it best not
TO close the deal.
The first reason the offer was re-
fused was that it granted a valuable
franchise to a private person without
adequate compensation, and, second,
the contract required the city to fur
nish a sufficient supply Of water for
sewerage purposes, and II was not be-
lieyed the present supply was ade-
quate.

BOOK NOTICES.

Neither Bond Nor Free. by G..
fishing Company, 81 Rose street, New
York. Cloth, $1.OO. This work is styled
"a plea" for the rights and better
treatment of the negro by the white
man. The author is a negro Who
probably, has given a good deal of
thought to the subject. OF course he
takes the view that the negro is de-
MED his civil rights, in fact is pretty
badly treated. He uses the favOrite
vehicle of the story in the presenta-
ton of his cause. There is no claim
made for a high intellectual status of
the young men, and women who figure
as the actors in the little drama. There
is throughout a fair acceptance of the
present condition of his people--their
weakness and ignorance, their unwis-
dom, superstition, animal propensities,
laziness, their lack of purpose and
forethought. He pleads for such treat
ment of their crimes as is melted out
to the White criminal class; that the
race may not be branded as criminal
because of the iniquities of the few.

WHAT MR.. MARTIN SAYS.

Mr.. w. c. Martin Of Lenox, Lowndes
county, who went from near Valdosta,
was for years and years afflicted with
both rheumatism and eczema. He could
not afford to lose time, and in his ca
gerness to get rid of these ailments
took almost everything which is sold
over the counter of drug stores. A
great many of the preparations bene-
flied him some. but the ailments always
returned. In spring and summer these
ailments were worse. Finally he got
hold of Graybeard and it cured him.
He was so delighted with the medicine
that he told his friends far and near of

CLOTH MARKET WAS QUIET.
Steady Sales, but Prices Were Not
Satisfactory.


Manchester, Aug. 1.-THE cloth
market was quiet and steady last
week, and there was each day a mod
crate amount of business. A fairly
large number of recorders for cloth
were executed. There was considera-
BILE inquiry, largely from India, and
sellers complained of unsatisfactory
prices. The China demand was mac
tive. - -.-
There is no immediate prospect of
Improvement in business with the mis-
cellaneous, South American, Levant
and smaller outlets. The total turn
over was poor.
Yarns last week were quiet; the in
quiry was firm, byt the turnover
small. There was a rather better de-
mand for finer spinnings of American
cotton, which resulted in business
where quotations were not rigid.
