eral months and several weeks ago
LOO acres OF land were bought in
Lincoln county and options on 10, OOO
acres more were secured.
The Avolon Cattle Company is the
name of the new concern that will
have charge of the ranch, and it is
proposed to raise Georgia cattle for the
market. 1t is the intention of the
company to purchase Hereford and
Short horn cattle mainly.
The company is said to have unlim-
tied capital at its command and in the
opinion of its officers will be in position
within two years to raise enough cat
tie to supply nearly the whole state of
Georgia. II is said the first car load
of cattle will be shipped in a few
days to Clay Hill, via Washington. The
company has LOO acres already fenced
in and as soon as possible will acquire
the 10000 acres on which IL holds OPP

impetus to cattle raising in this sec

COLUMBIA TO GEORGETOWN.
Navigation to he opened on the
COngaree River.

Congaree River.
Columbia, S. c., May IA hope
which Columbia has long looked for
ward to has at last been realized in
the definite announcement that within
thirty or sixty days a line of river
steamers will be established between
this city and Georgetown. The steam
ers are to make seni-weekly trips from
Columbia to Georgetown, connecting
with the clyde line for New York. The
boats to be used in this service are al
ready at Georgetown and are awaiting
orders to begin their trips. They will
have a tonnage of from 100 to 125 tons.
The establishment of this line means
a great deal for Columbia, and espec-
tally her wholesale trade, and 1t will
give her merchants a reduction in all
freight rates of from 20 to % ner cent,
a lower rate than that now enjoyed by
Augusta, and practically the rate Char
lesion enjoys.
Yesterday Mr.. William Z. Fowler of
Baltimore, Md, who is one of the
stockholders of the company that has
determined to put the line of boats in
operation, arrived in the city and i'm
mediately called upon number of the
ledQlnS merchants. Inc purpose Oh MI.
Fowler's visit is to see that the enter
prise is properly launched and to look
after the details at this end of the line.
A number of merchants called upon
yesterday gave promises of their bust
ness for number of years at least.
Besides the freight service a salts
factory passenger service will be estab-
lished. Two trips a week will be made
from one terminus to the other, re-
quiring a day and a half.
The opening of this river has been
the dream of Columbians for many
years, not only because it would give
the merchants water rates but will
open up a very large territory that
will be supplied from this city.
T. D. Love of Wilmington, N. c.,
an experienced river boatman, will be
the general manager of the company.
Pending the opening of the river to
navigation to Gervais street, this city,
the landings will be made about two
miles below town and the freight
hauled by electric cars to a convenient
general warehouse. The government
has been for two years at work on
deepening the river to the Gervais
street bridge. This will probably be
completed within year.

BANKER CLEWs' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen
From Wall Street

From Wall Street.
New York, May 10.-Last weeks COL
lapse of certain speculative bubbles has
materially improved the situation on
the Stock Exchange. 1t has induced
a closer scrutiny of collateral on part
of the banks, forced considerable
wholesome liquidation and afforded a
desirable and much needed check to
reckless wildcat speculation. The Gre
alton of new securities having scare Ely
present or prospective value of any
sort was going on at a pace that
threatened danger to the entire finan-
cial community; and serious results
were unaVoida BILE unless such manipu-
lators were promptly crushed. The only
power capable of dealing with these
forces was the banks; and to them
must be given the credit for putting
on the brakes judiciously at the time
of emergency.
Favorable rains have fallen in large
sections of the West, and should the
yield be UP to an average we may ex-
pect no cessation of present trade ac-
tivity in the West. Our railroads are
still making splendid returns and gen.
orally showing increases about 10 to II
per cent. ahead of the large figures
of last year This is the most con-
vincing evidence of continued general
prosperity. Still, the main source of
strength of the better class of railroad
stocks is the face that important
merger plans are under consideration
and, though the Northern Securities
case has somewhat delayed such
schemes. their final consummation is
ultimately looked for. The iron trade
continues taxed to the utmost. and the
furnaces hold orders that will keep
them fully employed to the end of the
year. AS for the general trade out
look, that is encoura ging.
In brief, we have a number of in
f1uences in favor of higher prices such
as cited above; on the other hand, I'M
favorable developments in the money
or crop situation would precipitate
sharp reactions and quickly subdue
the present bullish undertone.

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Cotton Irregular, Closing Lower.
Grain Weak Early, Closing Stead

Cotton Irregular, Closing Lower.
Grain Weak Early, Closing Stead
Ter.
There was a fairly active market in
cotton. The opening on Monday was
firm, but weakness soon appeared, and
for a short time the feeling was al
most panicky. July fell quickly from
9.24c to $3.50. A strong recovery fol-
lowed and on Wednesday July sold as
high as 9.3sc. Later, the market was
again easier, and July closed points
down at 9.12c. August was relatively
weaker, closing at S.87c, only 2 points
above Mondays lowest, and Is points
lower than the week before. Septem-
Der lost 9, and October 4 points.
In New Orleans, July lost 10 points
and August Is points.
The amount in sight for the week
was 6S,240 bales, against 50, 1888 last
year. The interior towns seem to be
approaching a finish, receiving only
2S,223 bales, against 1888 last year. 1t
is still to be remarked that the recent
movement has probably been swelled
by the urgent spot demand in the
country.
The weather has been favorable in
almost all sections, and the new crop
has so far had much more suspicious
start than either of the last two. The
outlook for the crop will now be the
chief ruling influence in the market.
Present prices are high compared with
what we have been accustomed to see,
and what we shall see again when the
farmers ruin themselves by over pro-
duction. Unless disaster of some kind
overtakes the crop. there appears
nothing in the legitimate situation to
prevent cotton from going down to
about Z cents next fall.
Wheat ruled lower, but variable.
Abundant rains in the Southwest
caused a sharp break on Tuesday, but
another break came on Wednesday.
Later a steadier feeling prevailed, and
July, which sold as low as 74c earlier,
sold up to 7512c on Saturday, closing
at 75Ac, a decline of about Ac for the
week. September closed 1Ac lower, at
74kc. The spot statistics are growing
much stronger. the demand being ac-
tive, and receipts light, so that stocks
are falling off rapidly. The loss for
the week, according to Bradstreet's,
was 100000 bushels.
The bureau report, which was due
on Saturday was deferred until Mon
day. Some decline in the condition of
winter wheat is expected, and has been
already discounted. AS to whether the
report will prove bullish will depend
upon how great the decline is. and also
upon what is said regarding the start
of the spring wheat crop. This latter
will probably be decidedly bullish, so
that it is likely the report as whole
will favor the bulls.
Corn closed steady. having received
an early decline. They are already
claiming a big corn crop, when it has
hardly been planted yet. But no kind
of a crop can help out the July and
September shorts. There will be fire.
works in the corn market this summer.
and patient holders will receive large
returns. VIM. I. Williams.

BOOK NOTICES.

Buell. Hampton, a Love Story" by
Willis George Emerson. Forbes & Co,
Boston, Mass, publishers. Cloth, $150.
The plot of this story is original the
character striking and the action stir
ring. Throughout the story persons
breathing with life are saying and do
ing things-action, action, is on every
page; there are no wearisome excur-
sions into history or side talks on
good behavior. When the author does
leave his characters it is usually to
give some beautiful touches of local
coloring, just enough to make the
scenes and personages more vivid and
true, as in the realistic picture of a
great prairie fire and the impressive
description of the terrible hot winds.
The central figure in the charming ro-
nance are two mastery creations,
Maj. Buell. Hampton and Ethel Hor-
ton. Buell. Hampton, philanthropist
and philosopher, is unlike any other
character in fiction. AS editor and
proprietor of the Patriot he dissent
mates his humanitarian opinions broad
cast and on account of his largeness
of heart is a trusted leader in the af-
fairs of men. Ethel Horton is an ideal,
typical American girl, vivacious and
spirited, with whom every reader will
fall in love. Her ambitious mother
conspires with an acquaintance, Mrs.
Osborn, to marry her daughter to a til
tied Englishman, who has no attrac-
lions for Ethel, already in love with a
Chicago physician. Ethel is courageous
and sweet-spirited through all the BIT
terness of the intriguing, which she fin
ally escapes by series of events in
which her loyal friend. Hugh Stanton,
plays an important part. as he does in
other incidents of the story. The story
is full of surprises and forceful CHI
makes.

spite the yearly reports of decrease in
acreage the census years invariably
show that the decrease has not taken
place, and 1 take it therefore that it
is safe to assume that each year there
is small increase in acreage. Despite
the talk of decreased acreage this year
the Commissioner of Agriculture for
the state of Georgia reports sales of
$4,000 tons of fertilizers, against 49,
900 tons last year"
Throughout Georgia it is the current
belief that the acreage is less than it
would have been owing to the higher
prices of forage and provisions. which
lead farmers in some sections to diver
slfy their crops more than heretofore.
Reports indicate that corn was largely
substituted for cotton in some sec
tionS.

TO AcaUIT MIR. DOMINICK.
No Proof That He Worked Substitute
Bill on Legislature.

Columbia, s. c.. May 1.-THE leg
isiative committee charged with the
duty of investigating the conduct OF
Representative Fred II. Dominick OF
Newberry has concluded its labors and
its report will be filed in day or two
with the governor 1t is an open sec
ret. however, that they acquit Mr..
Dcminick of wrong dong.
The charge against Mr.. Dominick
was that while bill was going
through the free conference stage
another was substituted of an entirely
different character and that he OBJ
tanned the signatures of the members
of the committee to this bill when
they were under the impression that
they were signing the report to an
entirely different measure. There was
no question about the bill being sub
stituted but the committee considered
that evidence was lacking to prove
that Mr.. Dominick deceived the other
members of the committee.
An old statute has been revived in
Vienna, prohibiting householders taxi
