PART TWO. JN GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. AEVVS OF THB TWO STATES TOLD ' I\ PARAGRAPHS. GEORGIA. At Jeffersonville Saturday morning the thermometer registered just 5 degrees above freezing, and notwithstanding the peaches and plums were well chilled, the growers felt safe, as there was no frost iby reason of the high winds. The Georgia peach crop is about far enough advanced not to run a risk of be ing headed off this year. The country is peach hungry, and Georgia will supply the demand from ull sources, unless some unexpected disaster overtakes the or chards. which is not at all likely. Judge Littlejohn on Friday at Oglethorpe Tesentenced Joe Hall to be hanged. The •date for the execution Is May 3. It will be remembered that Hall was tried at the last term of Superior Court, convicted id sentenced, his attorneys carrying the Ci' to the Supreme Court, where the iru r court’s decision was sustained. m€ ns has been made one of the sta niu for distributing weather reports at w jus points about the state.

Res it mdns were passed indorsing Senator (V .con and Congressman Griggs. Anew t,:ecurive Committee was elected, who , elded it was impracticable to have a ijnary restricted to registration on May and consequently they called a mass < eting of the Democrats to meet at f * Court House on that date and select •’legates to the various conventions.

Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen: Senator Taliaferro, who has been in the state for several days on personal busi ness, brings to Florida Democrats the cheering news that the party never had a better prospect of sweeping everything before it than it has now. Sure to win, with hands down. Messrs. Barefoot & Spink ate erecting a large shingle mill near Lake City, on the Georgia Southern and Florida road. The capacity is 100,000 per day. and only cy press shingles will be used. Mr. David Geer is in charge of the placing of the ma chinery. The firm already has orders sufficient to keep busy for months. The immense warehouse building be longing to the government, located in the eastern part of Tampa, between the Flor ida Central and Peninsular and Plant System tracks, has been condemned. Capt. Hoyle of the First Artillery, was instructed to do this. The building is ottered for sale. It is sixty feet wide and six hundred feet long, built of iron and well preserved. The orange crop on the west coast th** season has been the finest ever known. The groves are now in first-class condition, and prospects for the next crop are promis ing. Strawberries shipped in large quan tities from Clearwater have commanded highest market price, and growers are making arrangements to double the acre age of the next crop. The recent heavy rains and cool weather have of course damaged strawberries and vegetables, bur the f trovers are not discouraged, and a large acreage is being planted in canta loupes and other vegetables. A schooner load consisting of 200 head of green turtle arrived at Key West on Tuesday last, weighing in the aggregate 28,858 pounds, and was purchased entire by Mr. Thos. R. Adams. The cargo cost him $2,350.61 and was shipped at once, in proper shape to New York. The heaviest of these turtles weighed 290 pounds and the lightest 45. This is not orjlv one of the largest hauls of green turtle ever brought to Key West, but is also believed to he a record breaker. They were caught on the Yucatan coast, and were seven days in transit to Key West. Louis D’Omito, a well-known Italian, who has resided in Ocala for many years, and lies an American wife and considera ble property, has been acting very queer ly for the past few weeks. He was tried, and fined in the' Mayor’s Court a few days ago for being drunk, and has at lost gone raving mad. and is confined in a cell in the county jail, where an exam ining board on Saturday pronounced him insane.

Pensacola Press: A gentleman of this city, who has resided in Pensacola about forty years, and who has the best interests of the place at heart, called at this office yesterday and exhibited several letters re cently received from a practical glass manufacturer of West Bridgewater, Bean county, Pennsyix aia, including plans for a glass factory, and he probable, cost of same.

Ocala Correspondence Timos-l’nion an 1 Citizen: A mild sensation has rippled over the erstwhile even tenor of the Se;oil warders’ way for the past week. The s*ory. and it is absolutely true, is thus: At the hour of midnight, one day last week, a carriage drove up io the home of Mrs. Adams, an aged lady, and her nurse, who occupy the old Scott residence, in the Second ward. A well-dressed man lead ed out and knocked at the door. When Mrs. Adams appeared he placed in her arms n little babe, and said she must tak care of It until it was called f> r, ands id she had been recommended to them (there Was a lady in the carriage also, well dress ed). as ore who would stfve the little on* good attention. The stranger told her ’h child’s mother lived in Savannah, and was ill. and had to go. North for treatment; it might he a month, six months or a year before the child was called for: he could not tell. A basket containing n complete and elegant infant’s wardrobe was left with her, also a sum of money, variously estimated at from a modest sum to “.i well-filled purse.” When askd for fur ther explanations.

One Returned to Grit. Fnn.ston l\liicli He Lost Venr.s Ago. From the Washington Post. Capt. Charles \V. Filer of the pension of fice has been the means of returning to Gen. Fred Funston, ihe gallant Kansan of river swimming fame, a lost fraternity pin under conditions as peculiar as they are mysterious. The pin is the emblem of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and was lost years ago by the capsizing of a boat while Gen. Funston was in Alaska on a government mission. The pin was attached fo a vest and the vest was in a knapsack. When the boat upset Funston and his Esquimo companion saved themselves, but all their belongings were supposed io be at the bottom of the river. One day last summer workmen were tearing up the floor of the old ice rink in Convention Hall, and a negro found a pe culiar badge with the name “Frederick Funston” engraved upon its back. Capt. Filer heard of the incident on the very day that the story of Funs.ton’s swim ming episode was given to the world. The identity of the names struck him that the pin might belong to the Kansas fighter. When he heard that Funston was re turning to the States, he wrote a letter that met the General at San Francisco. In this letter was a pencil sketch of the pin and the story of how it was found. Through some delay in the mail the letter has just reached Gen. Funston, who has replied as follows: “The badge of w'hich you speak in your recent letter was lost by me in Alaska, several years ago. It it certainly very much of a mystery how it reached Washington. I recognize it from the de scription you have given me. It is the badge of a college fraternity to which l belong. I would be under the greatest obligation to you if you would get hold of it and send it to me; even if it is nec essary to pay something to the man who now has it, although he is in no way en titled to it, and has no right to w'ear the badge of a society of which he is not a member. Thanking you most sincerely for your kindness, I am.” Capt. Filer hunted up the negro w’ho had found the pin, and secured possession of it by paying him $2. It is naw on its way to Gen. Funston. How it found its way from an Alaskan river to a Wash ington skating rink tea mystery that may never be solved. Dewey on Heck. From the New York Press.

New York. April 2.—The cotton market opened steady with (trices 6 to 10 point* lower on present crop options, and 1 to 5 points lower on the new crop positions; this in response to surprising wtsk ca bles from Liverpool. Very heavy selling for both accounts during the progress of the call was the feature of simulation. During the first hour tho market contin ued in a demoralized condition with seillng conducted on sn enormous scale und r which prices melted away point after poln until a sheer decline of llf/29 points was recorded. Liverpool cables reported equally •ensatiomil losses in tha* market anti also furnished numerous selling or ders in tin* local market, thereby adding greatly to the nervousness of holder* here, throughout the break many eontrsdle ory rumors were in circulation, the purport of whiCh was that Liverpool was being ma- ni pula ted by continental interns s, ard again by Now York commission house*. The selling movement seemed to have worn itself out by midday and throughout the afternoon speculation was conducted on a normal scale. The swing of prices was comparatively narrow and in the di rection of a reaction. Bui s only made fee hie attempts to recover'the losses of the forenoon.

New' York, April 2.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos. say: An effort on the part of the continental long interest, who have be come uneasy, through the conditions ex isting in India and the improving weather throughout the cotton belt to liquidate caused a very weak market in Liverpool. This w r as a surprise as the small response to the decline abroad by the American markets on Saturday, led the trade to ex pect a steadier Liverpool market. With out support from Liverpool, our market hrok* away from the quotations of Satur day, until a decline* of about 17 points on the old and 12 points on the late, were recorded a sharp reaction at the close In Liverpool, brought n rally here, but the market needed new factors on the bull side to prevent a further decline, improv ing weather conditions throughout the cotton belt, deprives the market of much sipiort. The close was steady with the local trade looking for a reaction from the weak market In Liverpool to-morrow New York. April 2.—Murphy A Cos. sav: Cotton advices from Liverpool to-day caused great disappointment to bulls. .Spots declined 3-32, with sales of 8.000 and futures closed at a net decline of 7-64 for old crop, and 4-64 for new crop deliveries. Foreigners also sent orders to sell fu tures In this market, heme the decline here of 18 points on old. and 12 points on new crop deliveries. Manchester mar ket is adversely affected by bad accounts from India and the wire edge seems to ;>* off the demand for goods generally. The important discount for new crops tends to make the trade hesitate to buy cotton for prompt delivery unless, it Is absolutely needed. Bad weather this month over th. cotton belt may revive bull speculation, ns the world will want new crop cotton early, ami a lot of it. We favor purchase of the new crop months. Price, McCnr.niek A Cn.'m Letter, New York, April 2.-Prioe. McCormick & Cos. have to-day issued the following circular: When tho cotton market ad vanced to 9.60 c for August, sonn- three week* ago, w" atrontcl.v advised our friends to accept profits on thp cotton they held, ami have been disposed, as most of them know, to expect a decline. This •expectation was based upon our knowl edge of the fact that there was an exrep. ttonally large speculative lonic interest In Liverpool, which did not represent the purchases of consumers, and the liquida tion of which seemed to us Inevitable, in view of the mercurial character of the people who were reputed to head it. This lona interest has now been liquidated, the Liverpool mqrket having been In ft con dition of great demoralization to-day, selllna nt one tiro* som<- S-Sld below the prices of Saturday. Our cables advise that the liquidation has been fairly com plete, and when we come attain to study the legitimate facts of the situation, there does not seem to us at the moment any Justification for a further decline In cotton. There is no real pressure to sell actual cotton. Any selling pressure come* en tirely, when It does come, from an exag gerated lons Interest, for the liquidation of which the shrewd operator must watch. With this lontc interest liquidated and out of the way, attention Is attain turned to the statistical facts of fhe situ ation. The visible supply of cotton, as tnade up by the Financial Chronicle on Friday last, was 2.91,9,7113 bales. These llKures compare with 3,>il,(ssi In Wd. when notion sold al 9'ic. with 9,439.000 In 1896, when cotton sold at and with 2,639,000 in 1890. when eoiton sold at 12hc; and when the present visible supply Is considered In connection with the lltcht storks In Liverpool and the enormously expanded consumption. It would seem that collon was certainly worth present prices, If not more. CaiculatlnK only twenty-three weeks from now until the tlrst of September and the world’s re quirements at 210,000 bales weekly, (lie to tal I* 4,830,000 bales. AssumlnK (hat from now until the end of the season we shall receive of American cotton 1,200,000 bales, which I* rather more than most people expect, the addition to the visible supply will tflve us only 4,189,000 bale*, as m::, Inst prospective requirements of 4.830388* bales. As the world's visible and Invisible sup ply cannot be reduced possibly below l,!/)0,000 bales, It would seem that the price to which cotton must ko. In order to cheek consumption, has not yet been reached—ad. imv 04MIO*. New York. April 2. The wi ck opens with the condlllon of the* mark* I unchang ed In many eltre* * ioiu.

A little improve ment in the demand, caused by a large concern entering the market lor stuff for foreign shipment, tended to strengthen things considerably. After the closing sales were being made freely of the stuff r. main ng in factor s hands on a basis of quotations. Receiots are small for this time of year, which in the face of the strong demand, gives the bullish element a pretty clean swe, p. The receipts to-day were 248 * asks, the sales 169 casks, and the exports 121 casks. Rosins—Unchanged, pales nominal, oth er grades quiet; sales none. There was no change in tin* rosin mar ket to-day, which closed i omlnal for pales, and quiet as to other grades. A lack In the demand has served to set things back si mewhat, and until there Is an improve ment in demand, the chances are that business will continue to be on a very lim it<d scale.

STOC KS AND RONDS. New York, April 2.—The stock market! made a strong opening to-day on largo buying orders which had accumulated in commission houses over Sunday and in response to tho continued demand for London account. The Influence of Satur. day’s favorable bank statement was still felt and the room traders were inclined to the bull side. There was a large absorption of thq leading iron and steel stocks which at tributed to the oinration of a pool and the buying of People’s Qae is said to bo included in the same plan. There was large buying of Anaconda on foreign ac coum, in sympathy with the strength oC coppers, lHth in the London and in tho Paris market, where the short interest! is in evident distress. But not withstand* ing these favorable auspices and the ad* ditionai benefit of some extraordinary strong statement of earnings, the strength; of the market was not maintained. Tho early demand was very freely fed for tho purpose of taking profits by last wiiek’o buyers. The persistent weakness of SugaV had an unsettling influence on the list* The early strength of the iron stock* gave way to quite acute weakness after the assembling of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Federal Steel Company. The selling movement seemed to gain force as the* hour for closing approached and the actual close was active und woalc and net losses largely predominated. Some of the railroad stocks which had been notably strong lost practically all their gains or at the best had them; largely demolished. The Pacific stocks and the Grangers were conspicuous ex amples. Quite a number of usually inac tive railroads were strong, notably the Lake Erie and Western stocks, the pre ferred stock jumping 12% points, to par. and the common rising an extreme 4%. The fall in Sugar was accompanied by reports of new cuts in tho price In coffee, the war in tin- coffee trade being waged by the same rival interestaKiH*that in tho Sugar trade. The weakness in the iron, stocks seemed to he due to disappointment on th • part of speculators over the show’- ing of earnings made by the Federal Steel Company. The drop’ *.n Federal Steel In the early high point was 4% and In Steel and Wire over 3 points. Other stocks In tho group were less actively traded In, bfit all showed weakness. The day’s state ments of not earnings for February in cluded gains over last year’s February net earnings of 84 per cent, for Norfolk and Western, 66 per cent, for Rio Grande and Western, 55 per cent, for Union Pa cific and 53 per cent, for Louisville and Nashville. The stock*? of these companies showed good resistance to the reaction ary tendency, but the conditions thus re flected of railroad business were not suf ficient to hold the general list. Money was easy, though not much effect was felt from the disbursement of quarterly Interest and dividend payments. Sterling exchange continued it upward course and the question is now arising whether the increase in the circulating medium by the operation of the law of March 14 may not result in sending gold abroad by relieving the need for it in cir culation here. The’process for taking out new circulation, which had come to a pause, is reported from Washington to have received a fresh impetus and tho sub-treasury in New York is again pay ing out large amounts for premiums on converted bond'*. Tho bond market was active to-day Wa bash debentures B’s being absorbed on a large scale. Prices generally are higher. Total sales, par value. $3,925,000.
