AN ASTONISHING INCREASE OVER 1892 Ilcinniiiln for Actual UNO Control IlllNlllCMN 1111(1 I'rll't'H All III- tliiMtrlun llcliliul Their Ordcrx. NEW YORK. Aug. 25. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review or Trade will say tomorrow - row : Nothing ia moro eloquent than the facts. ActuaP payments through the principal i i Hi'ailni ; bouses were 23..1 ' , icrcut larger Gj / than last year and 5C.2 ptr cput larger ' | V than In the sumo week of ISDi. For the j 11 month thus far the dally nvoriigo of pay- { mcntH ImH been 2G.3 per cent larger than last year and EC per cent larger than in 1S92. Tonnage from Chicago In three weeks has beoii S0.7 per cent larger than last year and 74.6 per Cent larger than In 1892. It wilt not bo suggested by anybody that Buch an astonishing increase over the most piosperous of nil past years except the last was expected. Most people really regard last year's expansion as something like a freak. Nor Is the difference In amount of payments mainly duo to rise In prices , for prices of several hundred articles nctualTy range lower now on the whole than in Au gust , 1S92. It Is n consumers' business also. Per haps nexor before bavo demands for ac tual tibo controlled business and prices with so little ( ( peculation to anticipate higher markets. In fact , the rise in most articles has gone further than bpecutVitlvo opinions , have warranted. Nearly all Industries - , tries are BGIIIO months behind the require ments of actual use and In many much of the output next year Is already sold. Iron works which supply Plttshurg are fold up far Into 1900 and can do nothing , though prices much beyond what they re ceived are paid byt those who must have Iron ths ( year. The enormous demand for more railroads and rails and cars , more vessels , warehouses and buildings to Imn- I dFe the oxtraqrdlnary business In progress cannot bo met as quickly as Home would llko and work of all sorts Is delayed , from the biggest war vessel to the smallest fac tory. tory.The boot and shoo business la likewise crowded , not so fur ahead of production , but farther than most producers like , by the clamorous demand of Jobbers , who can not keep up with retail distribution. Prices hare risen quite generally 2"j cents per pair , but the only shrinkage * In orders as the fcnbon wanes Is welcome to producers Already committed far ahead. Shipments In three weeks have been 13 per cent greater than In any previous year and 25 per cent greater than In 1892. Leather rises fur ther , especially for upper , with demand be yond precedent and largo producers sold for months abend , and hides at Phlcago nro also meeting with heavy sales ahead of curing. Cotton goods alee have further advanced In llnei not affected by proposed consolida tion nnd the demand for woolen goods has gone beyond nfl expectations , The cales of wool are enormous , 33,677,100 pounds In four weeks , 30,119,400 pounds being domestic , with prices generally un changed , though concessions are now made to procure snleti la some lines , Sharp fluc tuations In cotton show how fears of InJury - Jury by drouth In Toxss and elsewhere would affect tUo market If there were not bales of old rot- on hand about 10,000,000 tun , Including 00,000 bales In European and probably COO bares In American mills. Consumption Is enormous , but It cannot ex haust iucb supplies soon. Reports of InJury - Jury to wheat In the northwett have like wise affected the market but little. West ern receipts no Ioniser keep up with the extraordinary movement a year ago , fallIng - Ing 1,800,000 bmihcls behind for the week , but for four week * have been 15,367,411 bushels , against U,350,621 bushels last year Atlantic oportavce \ slightly larger than tut ycsr , wluVs Faclflc oxporta have beeu 332,024 bushels for the week and in four weeks 1,683,353 bushels , against 1,353,794 bushels last year. Corn exports tvero heavy , In four weeks 16,723,524 bushels , against 9,318,113 bushels for the same weeks last year and 11 per cent larger during the week. Failures for the week hnvo been 163 In the United States , against 179 last year , and 16 in Canada , against 26 last year. IlIIAnSTIIECT'S FIXAXCIAI , HE VIEW. The Tone of the "Market IN Strong ; mill liiti-ri-Mt In Stoclix In Growing. NEW YORK , Aug. 25. Bradstreet's Fi nancial nevlew tomorrow will saj : Although still restricted as to the char acter of the speculation there will be foino Indications that public Interest in the stock market is growing. The tone this week has also been on the whole a strong one and the market resisted not on Its tendency to drift back from time to time Into dullness , but the more dangerous Influence of n ilu- ctdcd break In the most active and pop ular of the traction stocks , Brooklyn Jljpld Transit. That Incident temporarlFy Inter rupted the upward progress of prlcei , though It was resumed with an approach to the same vigor after the selling movement in the traction shares had exhausted its force and had been checked bv renewed Jn- sidc support in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. At the same time on Friday the disposi tion was to await today's banl. statement and the market became < lL.ll , with more or less Irregularity. As was the case during the preceding week , the principal bullish manifestations were In the low or medium priced stocks. A number of thrs ; > were again the objects of efficient pool miaipula- tlon , which attracted both professlonar and public buying support. There were , however , Indications of inter est in Rome of the higher priced dividend payers , based on suggestions that the pres ent remarkable earnings of certain proper ties might Justify larger divisions of profits among their shareholders. There were , however , no lonmrkablo movements in this portion of the share list and apart from the rises In the outsldo stocks , Leather , Cotton Oil and Tennessee Coal , the indus trials were neglected , the only other ex ception being a decline In American Steel ami Wire. Ixmdon was at first Indifferent I to our stocks or betrayed its preoccupation | with the state of Its own money market , and the danger , financial and speculative , connected with the possibility of war In South Africa. In the latter portion of the week an other fairly good weekly return by the Bank of England and the casing of dis count rates In London caused the stock market there to strengthen materially , Americans taking n leading part in the movement. This fact was attributed partly to manipulation from this side , but more particularly to appreciation on the part of the British speculative Interests of the ef fect of favorable crop nnd business condi tions nnd continued Increases In earnings In the position of ninny American railroad properties , particularly those whoso securi ties are selling at moderate figures. The crop outlook , as well ns the ac tivity of trade and Industry continues to give confldenco to the bullish speculators , whlfo the relr.tlvely easier condition of the money market continues to diminish the apprehension displayed for some weeks hack in that connection. KIT\S : iu\iiw or Tn.\nn , In Price * mill SIfnilhicH of lloinnnd ( InSnllriit 1'oulnrrn. NH\V YORK , Aug. 25. Bradstreefs to morrow will say Strength In prices nnd steadiness of de mand are fatlll the eallent features of the trade situation. Iron , steel and other metals , most of the cereals , leather and cotton gooda manifest upward tendencies as to prices. Other staples , with the excep tion of sugar and anthracite coal , retain all their old flnrmi'bs. Fall demand is ex panding nt most markets , particularly good reports being jeceivcd from the northwest and that portion of the corn-growing coun try which thU y ar seems to bo notable for surplus production Aggrepslvo strength nnd firmness are noted In Iron' ' and steel , particularly at central western markets. Consideration of next year's needs now seen * to b the prominent feature of the trade , utlde from complaints of slow deliveries on near by orders. Foremost In advancing is struc tural material , which has moved up $5 per ton , closely followed by steel billets , with an advance of $3 , and steel rails and nearly all grades of pig iron with relative gains. Other metals show sympathetic strength , notable In this respect being tin and lead. Among the cereal's wheat was quito flrm all the week , partly owing to a whittling down of northwestern estimates , but also duo to steady demand for the cash ar ticle alike on foreign and domestic account. The relative scarcity of cash corn is re sponsible for the advance shown this week In the face of a concededfy large produc tion. The shadow of the Nelll estimate Is still over the cotton market , which , how ever , Is firmer , owing to reports of de terioration due to heat and drouth and partly to exceptionally good reports from manufactured goods , quotations of which are tending upward. A sudden cut in prices of refined sugar has led to the Impression that the sugar war will be reopened in all Its fierceness. Additionally strong features In the gen eral trade situation nro the active demand for lumber at most markets at steady prices nnd the firmness in the higher grades of wool , notwithstanding their active buy ing. A supporting feature in this latter case , however , is the active demand re ported for men's and women's wear woolens. Conditions of supply and demand seem to be at the bottom of the recent rise in beef prices. The advance has attracted Increased rccelp's of grass-fed eattlo nnd some shade of quotations Is noted , but Chicago prices have only been equaled five times in twenty-two years. There are nearly 10- 000,000 less beef cattle In the country than there were seven years ago , nnd in fact theie are fewer cattle In the country now than In any year since 1882. Reflection of the smaller supply of hides and of the ac tive demand for boots nnd shoes is found In higher quotations for hemlock sole feather at some markets. One of the least satisfactory situated trades is that of an thracite coal , In which production appears to have outstripped conbUinptlon again nnd there Is complaint of prlco cutting. Wheat , Including Hour , shipments for the week aggregate 3,343,825 bushels , against 1,040,009 bushels last week , 3,563,476 bushels In the corresponding week of 1898 , 5,119,653 bushels In 1897 , 3,281,854 bushels in 1896 nnd 1,871.928 bushels in 1895. Since July 10 , this season , the exports of wheat aggregate 29,508,894 bushels , against 25,906,552 bushels fuel year and 26- &S2.999 bushels in 1897-98. Corn exports for the week aggregate 4- 596,097 bushels , against 5,531,405 bushels last week , 2,648,933 bushels In this week n year ago , 2,682,452 bushels In 1897 , 2,010,309 bushels In 1896 and 1,124,536 bushels In 1895.

DAR1EN , Ga. , Aug. 25. While every thing is quiet here tonight fho day was one of Intense anxiety. An outbreak by the negroefl has been momentarily expected einco the killing by John Dclagcll , n negro , of Joseph Townsend , a pi eminent citizen and deputy sheriff of this county. Today Sheriff Illount sent the following to Governor Candler : "Please order Liberty Independent troop to report to mo mounted nt once. Situation critical. One deputy killed ; another wounded. " Colonel A. R. Lawton , late commander of the Second Georgia regiment , U. S. V. , also wired the governor to send a quantity of carbines and supply of ammunition for the soldlcre. Colonel Lawton was hero this morning to Invratigatu the eltuatlon. After n conference with the ofllclals he returned to Savannah. When the governor received the message from Sheriff Dlount he ordered Colonel Lawton to return If necessary nnd i tnke command of the militia. He Is now here In that capacity and ha enough men , It Is bclloved , to easily handle the situation. The sheriff and his doputlrn continue to make arrests of the rioting negroeu nnd the Jail has n large number In It now. The ton- boat Irish left hero this morning for Savannah with twenty-five rioters who ha < i been arrested. This was n precautionary measure , and to mnUo room for those who have been imprisoned elnco the removal. The situation here Is regarded ns critical , though with determined military control li la thought further trouble can prevented , It Is estimated that the negroes outnumber the whlto people In this part of Georgia five to one , and the wftltcs are consequently ap prehensive. liihn IHllB 'll KurilH'H. | John Delagcll , the negro who killed Deputy Sheriff Joseph Tonnsend and wounded Deputy Hopkins , who were trying to arrest him , could not be found. He U the non of Henry Delagell , whoso arrest for assault started the trouble. The county officials have offered $100 reward for John Delagell and Governor Candler will bo asked to In crease this amount. The seventy-five moiribors of the Flr.U Georgia , who were left hero two days ego when old man Delagell was taken to Sa vannah , are patrolling the town tonight. All saloons are closed and the strictest or der Is maintained. Nearly every negro left town thin morning and tonight word comes that they are massed in Delagell's wamp , twelve miles from to n. They are known 1o be armed and a posse of citl/ons left on n special train for the place tonight. The ) will maintain a guard over the negroes and keep them from doing any damage during the night. A telegram was sent to Uruns- wlck urging all whlto citizens to come to Darlen. A boat was dispatched to bring thorn to this city and a special train will be ready In case moro want to come , The presence of the whites Is wanted to overawe the negroes , who are well aware of their superiority In numbers. One hundred inc-n of the First Georgia are under orders In Savannah to 'be ' 'In ' readiness to move ami If raoro militia Is wanted the Liberty lUflPs will bo t-ent. The calling out of thejia tree | s Is within the discxulon of Col onel Lawton. ATLANTA. Ga , Aug 23. Upon receipt of the alarming tclcgrHnu from Sheriff Blouul of Mclntosh county and Colonel Lawton at Darien , Governor Candler took Immediate steps to render every assistance to those officers. The governor sent the following telegram to Colonel Lawton : iA. II. Lawton , 'Savannah ' , Ga. : Dlounl , sheriff , wires for Liberty troops. I doubt propriety of sending them and leave it to your discretion. Have wired Hughes , cap- tnfn Liberty troops , to hold command In readiness to respond If you call for them , but to do nothing until you order him. The people of Mclntosh county nro excited. The situation demands a cool head. You have it and I must rely on you to exercise that wise discretion which I , so far away , cannot exercise. If necessary return to Daricn. IA. D. CANULT5R , Governor. The governor was In conference with ActIng - Ing Adjutant General Byrd during the day. A largo number of carbines have , been sent to Darien nnd a supply of ammunition U en route by special messenger , as the express - press company refused to carry It , owing to its explosive character. Attack tin the S\MIMIp. Midnight A conference was held at 11 o'clock 'tonight ' between Sheriff Hlount , militia officials nnd a citizens' committee and It was decided to take decisive action at daylight against the negroes who nro masked and auncd In Delagcll's swamp , I twelve miles from this city. The sheriff wirtxl Colonel Lawton , who Is In Savannah , to night to send the mlfltln nt once , and received - | ceived a reply to the effect that the men nro I I ready and Liberty county trocps will start' ' j from HlncHvlllo for Darien nt 2 o'clock , | The Mclntosh Dragoons are at their armory here , with horses ready. The citizens move i from Dnrlen on n special train for the owamp j nt .1 o'clock , and the mllltla , about 150 in number , an hour later. The negroes are I armed In defiance of the law and the purpose , Is to surround the swamp and relieve the blacks of their arms and arrest them. Gov ernor Candler gave Colonel Lawton plenary power in the matter and it was not found necessary to carl on the chief executive of the Htato for the mllltla , A few days n o Henry Delegall was nr- rested nt Dnrlon n a charge cT nfeault nnd i ' lynching wns prevented only by the action of the governor In sending 200 members of . the First regiment , w'lio brought the prisoner ' to Atlanta nnd left a detachment on guard j nt Dnrlen.
