Eastman Times-Joumal : Saturday last
W. W. Willoughby showed us quite an
ancient seeming piece of cutlery, a pocket
knife of the Barlow variety, with the date
“1700” inscribed in plain figures on the side
of the blade. This monument to the Shef
field cutlery works was exhumed at a point
near Dubois, in this county, not long since.
The wear and tear of ages have tapered the
blade to a keen point, but we think it may
yet remain in the land of edged tools to
celebrate its second centennial nine years
hence.

calls a successful man. He has placod
Jiitj.UOO in farming land 9, and his success

through the mud when he was over
taken by a gentleman In a fine, i.ew
buggy. The stranger asked young Brown

the career of Joseph E. Brown went on

Bartow News: There has been quite a
little excitement in town over the happen
ings at the house of of W. L. Tiremau. Ho
and his family have for some time been
suffering a great deal of annoyance by some
evil disposed persons throwing missiles into
their back yard. All kinds of tilings have
been thrown, from buckshot and marbles
to large sticks of lightwood. Several times
members of the family have been struck
so hard as to draw blood and various
articles have been broken in the
kitchen. The peculiar thing about it is that
ail the things come from one direction,
where there is no cover from which they
could possibly be thrown, the nearest hid
ing place i emg a house about seventy yards
away, and though a pretty constant watch
has been kept no one can be seen doing it.
The matter has been p aced in the hands of
the town authorities, but they seem uuable
to do anything.
R. M. Alvarez’s saloon and L. B. Powell’s
market, at Starke, ware burned at 4 o’clock
last Tuesday niornmg. When discovered
the building was so completely onvelopedin
flames that nothing could be saved, and all
attention was directed toward saving the
surrounding buildings. The dwelling, only
a few feet west, was the main object of at
tention, and by the hardest possible work
the flames wore kept from touching it.
The livery stable on tho north of the street,
and the bank on the east, as well as Col,
Darby’s residence on the south, were
all scorched, but not enough to
injure them. At one time it was thought
certain that the Hoyt house would surely
burn. Great clouds of cinders ware seen
to float over town and large brands were
found next day several blocks away. Had
it not been for u light rain in the early even
ing there surely would have been greater
damage. Tne property belonged to the Hoyt
estate and was valued at SSOO, aud was
bringing an income of $l5O a vear. The
market house belonged to Bichnfd & Pace,
and the stock and fixtures were a loss to L.
B. Powell of S2OO. The saloon stock was
valued at from $3,000 to $3,500 aud insured
for *2,000. Tne origin of the fire is a mys
tery.

The market to-day showed the same charac
teristics as those of the former days of the
week, the dealings being confined to a few
stocks, in which 1 hicago and Boston are most
interested, and the bullish feeling is bo pro
nounced that all bid news seems to have only
temporary influence, and to-day further gold
shipments aud decreasing bank reserves were
powerless to check the rising tendeuev in the
market; while some of the specialties scored
material improvement at the close. Gold ship
ments met tho market at the very opening, and
prices for the first sales were generally sd.ghtly
lower In cons -quence While some further
losers were sustained in the early dealings, the
only marked decline was in Tennessee t >al.
which was affected by the protest of the stock
holders against the disposal of the assets of the
company at a price unsatisfactory to them
On the other hand, Chicago Gas was buoyant
and Illio is Central as well, and these were
later joined bv the general Ust, in which
Northern Pacifica were conspicuous, and pre
ferred especially so in the late trading. Among
the special ieg Cordage was again lifted ma
ter.aiiy, but the Granger stock* and other late
favorites moved with more deliberation. The
demand was urgent, and even the bank state
ment failed to arrest the upward course of
prices, the market finally closing active and
strong at the highest price* reached, though as
a rule the list was only slightly changed from
last n gat’s figures. Chicago Gas, however, is
up 13$ percent., and Cordage and Northern
Pacific preferred each lVy per cem The sales
were 110,000 shares of listed and 6,000 shares of
unlisted.

Chicago. April IS.—lt was a lively day on
’Change and a great day for the holders of
wheat. It was a day in which the speculative
giants fought long and stubbornly the contested
battle to a decisive finish. The result was dis
astrous to the bears, but tugnly profitable to
th 9 bulls Enormous transactions, which
showed tremendous losses, were evened up.
One commission firm bought in a line of 509.000
bushels of May wheat, which was sold short at
15c below the price at which it was purchased
to-day, and some of it was bought at 28c above
the price at which it had been sold at. So far
as known only one of the great traders, who Is
n-arly always to be found on the bear side of
the market, refused to haul down his colors and
surrender. A few minutes'trad ng were excit
ing, hut merely preliminary to the gn at strug
gle of the day, which continued with gradually
increasing fierceness for an hour, May a Ivan
ing about 5c io that time, although millions of
bushels were being offered at a heavy a Ivaace
iu the prices which had immediately succeeded
the first few trades. Goods did not come out
fast enough to satisfy the urgency of the shorts,
who frequently, in their excitement, bid more
for stuff than it was being offered at. May
started with the first sale at $10934; but Si 10,
$1 lt’)4c, $1 1014 and $] 11 were then bid before
any came out. Before a memorandum of the
sale could be jotted down the entire crowd was
shouting in chorus bids of sll2, and in a min
ute more $1 13 was paid. Reactions of 1c w-ere
instantaneous during the first half hour, hut
the tendency was strongly upward until 10:30
a. m., after which tired nature an l the call
price, which, by that time, had been reached,
called a halt to the advance and gave a respite
to the tortured shorts. The price, in the mean
time, had advanced to $ 1 14, and although some
salrs were made even as high as $1 15. there
were many orders to sell at $1 14)4. w hich could
not be executed for lack of buyers. There was
nothing in the news of the day to account for
such phe.ioiiienal strength. Tue bears appeared
to take fright at the evidently manipulated ap
pearance of May futures. Realizing sales by
large conservative holders here was taken as a
concession that the pice abroad had been a
little too hot to last much longer without a
breathing spell in the shape of reaction. Tim
closing quotations. $1 12)4 for Kay anil $109)4
for July, show a net gain of 134 c and %c, re
spectively. Cora at the opening was inclined
to yield to improved weather conditions, but
was deflected for a tim i out of its natural course
by the big advance in wheat. It returned, how
ever. after the more timid shorts had covered,
to its first inclination, and at the close was sell
ing at a loss for the day of I4@%c. Tli > feature
of the oats market was the realizing by longs,
who took advantage of the high prices that pre
vailed early to put out numerous lines. In pro
visions the market was very dull, and looked
like going lower, but was upheld by the strength
of the wheat market. The closing prices show’
May pork 714 c higher. May lard lost 5c of its
yesterday's valuo, and July an equal amount,
while ribs gained 2)4c for May and September
delivery.
