DRY GOODS YEAR.
Savannah Dealers Make "A sntisfac-
tory Showing.

Savannah Dealers Make n Sntisfac-
tory Showing.
The annual business done in dry
goods in Savannah is estimated at 81
100000 There are six exclusive dry
goods houses here, who sell through
out the South Atlantic States. They
have a corps of fifty men on the road.
Dry goods is a staple commodity. and
is to be found onTthe shelves of every
country store. If anything the de-
partments where dry goods are car
ried have been enlarged during the
past year to make room for the large
orders that have been placed for fall
deliveries. So far as Savannah job
bers are concerned, the seasons bust
ness is closed. All contracts have been
made and dividends will soon COM
mence. The business the balance of
the year will consist largely of filling
in odd lots.
1t is reported that the business has
far exceeded expectations. Jobbers
have sold literally without any re-
strictions. They are convinced that
the high price of cotton. naval stores.
lumber and all products handled in the
territory which trades with Savannah
will enable dealers to make collections
and otherwise conduct their business
at a profit. In the prosperity which
exists they have foreseen a demand
and have shown a leberality in the ex-
tension of credit to enable the country
dealer to supply it.
The taste Of the people has developed
during the year as shown by the finer
class Of goods brought here by the job
beers to supply this class of trade. Not
a great deal Of new territory has been
taken in by the dry goods people be-
veloped the territory IN which they do
business. They seem willing 20 take
care Of their own territory rather than
neglect 81 in efforts at extension into
new fields. Following up this policy
they have been very successful during
the year They report prospects for
the fall exceedingly good.

Towns and Country Prosperous.
In the. territory contiguous to Savan-
nah there is a condition of good
times" that must be commended. High
prices for the products of the farmers
who are the backbone of the country
have contributed to this. Though it is
true that the wonderfully high prices
for cotton came after many of the
farmers had disposed of their last years
crop, 1t is yet true that enough of them
had held all or portions of their crops
to admit of their reaping the benefit of
market that was above 10 cents a
pound. Even those who had sold at
lower prices yet realized far more than
they had been accustomed to even hope
for in years not so far gone. All, there
fore, were successful. Some, owing to
their ability to hold their crops for the
top market, did best, but others prof1ted
enough to render the general tone Of
the cotton belt excellent.
With the new season opening with
prices away up, planters are filled with
even greater hope than that of last
year. They have a confidence in the
situation that is reflected in the gem
eral good tone and in the prosperity Of
the smaller cities and towns of the in
terror. Collections have been good in
all lines. and failures have been few
Bankruptcy proceedings have grown to
be far less frequent, and this has cong
tributed largely to the excellent feeling
that exists.
For the coming season there are the
brightest prospects To the spirit and
enterprise shown by the merchants and
business interests of the city, is added
the cooperation of the railway and
steamship transportation lines, all of
them working for the port. They are
seeking to add to it's receipts. They are
adopting measures to contribute to this
end, and preparations are being made
to Increase the port facilities. Greater
conVeniences than ever before in the
way of shed room, and means for han
ding cotton and other freight will be
offered during the coming season. The
government too, is aiding, and dradg-
ing is going on constantly to secure for
the harbor twenty-eight feet of wafer
from the city to the sea. Nowhere will
there be a less depth than that.

many more shorts. Before the end of
July the spot month reached 1850, Au-
gust 12.75c and September 11.21c.
About this time it appears the deal.
as far as the summer months were
concerned was pretty well settled, and
the very favorable tone which crop
reports had assumed, encouraged re-
heWed selling of the fall and winter
positions. But the bears We're not vet
through with their tribulations. for
suddenly toward the end of August
there came alarming accounts of dam
age IN Texas from the insect tribe in
general, and the dreaded boil weevil
in particular. This together with the
extreme backwardness of the new crop
IN commencing to move, caused a final
hurry just at the close of the year.
carrying some of the fall deliveries to
new high level.
The New Crop.
The season was very late in starting
the backwardness running from two to
TOUR weeks Profitable prices tended
greatly to stimulate an increased acre
age, despite the unfavorable early con-
dltlons. The increase has been put by
The leading authorities from about 4
TO per cent; but since these esti-
mates were compiled up to before
June l, and very much cotton was
planted after that date, some observ-
ers, including the present writer are
persuaded that the increase has been
underestimated, and that an increase of
ABOUT 10 per cent. should be allowed
for.
The season continued backward and
very unpropitious until late in June
when more favorable conditions set in.
and thenceforward. the plant every
Where made rapid growth, and gave
evidences Of astonishing recuperation
The promise continued to grow more
and more flattering until late in Au-
gust, when, as mentioned above insects
appeared in various sections, but more
particularly in Texas, where the rapid
raVages of the boil Weevil are reported
in terms almost surprising belief
However this may be, it is felt that
the brilliant prospect of a fortnight
ago has been already impaired in
Texas, and there remains the further
disturbing apprehension that the
worst may be yet to come.
The bureau reported the condition
on July rs at 1877 as against about 8
points higher last year. Last year the
figure dropped in August about IS
points to ga; this year it is believed
last months average would have been
fairly we'll maintained but for the re-
cent advent of the insect pests. AS it
is, an important decline in Texas, and
some little elsewhere, can hardly fail
to make the average materially lower
than last month-possibly nearly down
to 20. But even this, considering the
increased acreage, ought to afford a
promise of at least 10000 bales more
than last year. The present crop, how
ever, is so late, and subject still to so
many vicissitudes, that no kind of esti-
mate or forecast at this juncture is Of
any value whatever.

THE TRADE YEAR
A GOOD ONE
Savannah's Commerce Shows Up Well for the
Season Ending Auc. 81

Again Savannah has closed a BUSH
ness year, and is entering upon a new
one, and again one reviewing the his
tory of. the year that has passed and
making predictions for that which is
opening can find naught save matter
for congratulation, an array of facts
that should render the citizens of Sa-
yannah proud of her commercial SUI
premacy on the South Atlantic coast,
and determined to maintain it at all
hazards.
Prosperity has been over all the land,
so that it is making no startling state
ment to say that Savannah has enjoyed
prosperity. But it is not necessary to
halt there. Were they not objection
able. comparisons might be cited to
show that Savannah has enjoyed great
er prosperity than she might reason
ably have hoped for had there been a
proportionate distribution of the pros
perty of the country among the many
cities.
The merchants of Savannah have

mands for their goods have been active,
and they have reaped the reward for
the close attention they have devoted
to their affairs and for the efforts that
they have made to please their large
and growing patronage, not only in the
city, but in the wide territory that is
contributory to IT.
The savannah Spirit.
To a more marked degree than ever
before in her history has the Savannah
spirit been dominant during the last
year. Great progress has been won,
and Savannah merchants and business
interests have banded together in
unity of purpose that has attracted the
attention, not only of the other cities
of the state, but of the entire South.
If any plan is suggested whereby the
interests of the city may be advanced.
a committee takes it up at once, and
careful investigation is made If the
report of that committee indicates that
the city would be benefited CONNER
cially by the carrying out of the sug-
gestion, every one of the leading mer-
chants lends his time and his money
to its promotion, and the result is sue
cess. Any number of instances during
the last year might be mentioned to
prove the truth of this. This is the
proper spifit-the Savannah spirit. 1t
will count. 1t has already counted.
Let Savannah merchants nurture this
spirit. and year after year its fruit
Will be seen in growing business and
greater wealth for the city.
The Savannah Chamber of Com
merce is a product of this spirit. All
interests rallied to the support of the
chamber when it was inits days of con-
ception. AS the idea grew it's populari-
ty increased. When it was put into
execution, it was but brief time I'M
I'll its splendid results were in evil
dence. 1t has become a great factor in
SaYannah's progress.

In warm weather the St. Bernard dog will hunt the shadiest, coolest spot and if opportunity offer will rapidly excavate an underground retreat for himself in which he can wholly escape the heat of the sun. In the cool of the day, however, he is ready for any business or pleasure, from swim in the nearest pond or river to a wood- chuck hunt or search for burglars. No noisy snappish fellow is he, for ever with chip on his shoulder, like so many small dogs-nor is his anger easily aroused, but "beware the fury of the patient-!" The sweetest Ber- nard ever born can fling aside his halo and punish his antagonist as joy fully as any bulldog, upon sufficient provocation, and he doesn't care to stop until his work is finished. A quiet, gentle watchman, he uses per- suasion in preference to force and finally depends upon his weight rather than his teeth to settle matters in his favor.-Country Life in America.

h1ln good dinner-every thing what he wants" The glass seemed heavy in his hand; he could not speak the toast. In a moment he sat nod dding in his chair as he had done before, and he was a toner, came away and left him. His "happy day. had gone too dark and there was no longer any pleasure in it. A gloomy business it is, trying to be merry in the shadow of death I had seen enough of it.
 'sWhy don't you go and see Morcho ?'' inquired of an old habitue of the inn.
 Because he will have me to drink with him and talk with him and I can t bear to do it now. I don't get over it for day"
 The fact was Morcho had come to a time when he needed little of the good cheer he had freely given. but 1t was not to be had. For days [ was the only man who went to wish him happy day. The priest came, of day that I was there, and tried to talk with him about his soul He would have none of his own trouble, however, any more than hds friends would have it. He asked the boy to bring glasses and the priest to drink him hap py day" The good father said: stNo.'' Then tell me good story, do tell me good story" said Morcho. "No, no" was the answer. and as it came left them together. My God!" heard Morcho whisper, as if he were crying: T have no more no more happy day"
 Now the inn is but an empty shell. The red door is barred; it's rooms are | silent as the grave and dust is on its windows. Morcho has taken the ad- vice of his friends, when they could no longer bear the sight of him, and "gone off somewhere for a long rest" Temple Magazine
