ing trade conditions in the south, and
special reports, obtained through the
branch Offices of r. G. Dun & Co. in
this section. show that the south is ex-
ceptionally prosperous. High prices for
cotton and other farm products secur-
ed such large returns to growers that
purchases in nearly all lines have been
unusually heavy, and payments are un-
free. Manufacturers are busy and in
most lines running to full capacity
Wages are high and there is evidence
of large buying. In manufacture of
cotton goods some factories are run
ming on rush orders. New plants are
being erected in all parts of the south
and old ones enlarged. There has been
some reduction in the demand for lum-
Der. due to the severe winter in the
north and west, but later conditions
are improved. Labor is generally sat
isfied, and no important strikes are re-
ported. Bank exchanges indicate an
increase of nearly 20 per cent in pay
ments through the banks at southern
cities, though the west and east report
a decrease. and failures in the south

The subject of Chinese immigration
is again worrying the government.
The existing treaty with China will
expire in December and it is held by
some well informed public men that
the exclusion act is dependent there
on. Hence it is said that it will be
necessary either to negotiate another
treaty or pass another exclusion law.
Neither is believed to be possible
owing largely to dilatory habits of the
senate in dealing with such matters.
The possibility of an influx of a yell

down the backs Of lot of good peo-
pie. California already has $4,000
Cinnamon within her boundaries and
is regarded as one of the best states
in the Union in which to live. so it
may be that this terror has less foun-
dalton than is made. to appear The
Chinese already in the country are
peaceful, industrious and law abiding.
They make no attempt to interfere in

tracted the most attention and occas.
loned the most comment was the
speech of Mr.. Olney, setting forth Dem
ocratic principles and naming Mr. Gle
veand as the greatest living exponent
of those principles and as the man
who could most successfully stand for
them as the presidential candidate Of
his party.
In the cloak rooms and corridors Of
the capitol the Democrats discussed
delightedly the structures of Mr.. Olney
and of Mr.. Hill upon the dominant par
ty and President Roosevelt. General
concurrence in the views of the speak
ers upon the Republicans and their
leaders was found among the Demo
Gratis, but when it came to Mr.. Olneys
suggestion of Mr. Cleveland damper
would be thrown over the discussion
M1.Olneys remark sabout Mr.. Cleye-
land were not met with wry faces
among the southern and western Dem
Ocrats.
One effect Of this speech will be
to effectually shut off all considera
tion of Mr.. Olney as d possible presi-
dental candidate by the southern and
western Democrats He will be tick
eted and classed with Mr.. Cleveland
more effectually than ever before, al
though his candidacy always has been
tainted With Cleyelandism. to use the
expression most frequently heard
among soutnerners. Within the past
ten days an effort has been made to
start an Olney boom, but it is evident
from the remarks made today by prom
inent Democrats, that neither the o.
ney boom nor the Cleveland boom is
likely to get further south than the
Back Bay.
