This was easily the largest society

equals the record for the last Fourth
of July, when 3170 tickets were used
1t is likely that. the orphanage will be
more than $1,000 to the good as the

RAINS SAVE The
WHOLESALERS
BUSINESS HAS IMPROVED.
MERCHANTS WERE AFRAID Gus
TONERS WOULD BE SHORT.

savannah JObbers Feel Gratified Mt
the Reports which Come in from
Their Travelling Men-GOOd Crops
Have Been Assured for state OF
Georgia by Ending of Drought.
Orange Growers Blue over Out
look in Florida.
One result of the recent rains which
have brought joy to the farmers and
fruit raisers of Georgia and contiguous
states has been the improvement Of
business with the wholesale men.
So many long weeks of drought had
somewhat disheartened the retail mer-
chants and as their ability to buy de-
pended on the ability of their custom
ers to pay, the merchants were giving
travelling, men little encouragement
With the prospect of a good crop in
most lines, the merchants have begun
to place orders for fall goods, and while
it is too early to see the full results
of the tapping of the clouds by the
weather bureau, enough improvement
has already been noted by the whole
salers to indicate that the present sea-
sons sales will be at least up to the
standard
Rain Stimulated Trade.
In speaking of the delightful change
for the better, Mr.. E. NJ. Frank of the
firm of Frank & Co.. wholesale dry
goods merchants, said yesterday:
we certainly were glad to see the
rain. The merchants were afraid to
buy until they saw what the crop
would be. For some weeks it looked
very discouraging for the wholesale
men, but our men report a greatly i'm
proved condition, and are taking or
ders right along. In fact the retail
merchants are placing larger orders
so as to be fully supplied for the trade
which the rains have insured"
Mr.. L. Mohr of the firm of Mohr &
| Sons, jobbers, said: Business has in
| creased since the rains and we are
pleased over the change. Trade was
dull during the drought, but is picking
up in a most satisfactory manner"
Improved Conditions Noticeable.
| Mr.. L. Grouse of the firm of I: Ep-
stein & Bro. said; There is better
feeling since the rains. Our travelling
men had reported a blue outlook, but
they have changed their color and feel
much encouraged. The merchants
| are buying freer. One customer was
just in here and he reported that the
market for goods at retail had been
| greatly enlarged by the rains. He
came in off the Central and his view is
! the prevalent one"
Joseph Geiger, a travelling salesman
who has been in Florida, said: Il have
| just returned from Florida. For nearly
| four months they had been without
rain on the East Coast. The orange
crop was very badly damaged and the
| pineapples hurt by the drought. The
| orange growers are quite blue over the
outlook. The day before left a little
rain fell, and 1 presume that withini the
| last few days the rain has been more
| general But it may have come toe
late for manV--of the fruit growers"
