Be fore the close, however.

Missouri Pacific fell 2 points after an advance, and l'nk>n Pacific waa preased for sale above par and closed at a net lose of over 1 point The Tractions were prominent because of a sharp decline in Metro politan Street Railway.

December opened to©%c lower at 09\fi<5<<S on the lack of cable support. Offerings were gen eral at the start both for local and outside ac counts and local leaders at first feared the decline reported from other cities Later it be came apparent that there was a method in the offering* and that traders were trying to bear price* in order to buy in.. This gave an Impetus to the market and December gained steadily till it sold at 7Dtoe at th* end of the first hour. Local receipts were 150 car*, none of contract grade.’Minneapolis and Duluth re ported 704 cars, making a total for the thre* point* of 854. against 847 last week and 6S« a year-ago.

Trado was almost entire ly among the scalper* and the range of fluctu ations was onlv toe. Receipts were 178 cars. A small receipt of hogs and an Improved local demand brought an early advance in provision*.

The weather prevailing is *ll that could be asked for as far a* the fruit and produce busi ness to concerned. There I* a strong demand for apples, and es pecially stock ot good else, varletj- and color, of which there have been very few thus far thia season. The quality, generally epeaking, is poor throughout the country, and it will Uc late fn th* season before the best varlttie* THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1901. and sizes can be had, as the growers and packers are storing for high prices. Oranges are. also, very scarce and Jamaica stock is all that can be had and they *> ave prevailed in a limited way only and prices have ranged high, and the quality poor. Dur ing the next few weeks early shipments from Florid* will begin to move, and the crop will prevail in such quantities as will authorize nominal prices and a liberal consumption. Market on lemons continues strong, with more than an ordinary demand existing. The trade has found it very difficult to meet the demand for bananas, and high prices are an ticipated throughout the fall season. Cranberries are moving liberally, but th» weather has not been sufficiently cold to au thorize but little if any profit to the jobber*. Celery, as a usual thing. Is arriving In a poor condition with unsatisfactory results. Dried fruit of every description selling well at satisfactory figures. A limited demand exists for cocoanuts only and we anticipate no change in price for aorne time. Our market is showing but Uttl* activity on California fruit, especially inches. A fair demand exists for Tokay grapes and the beat varieties of pears. The season is drawing to a close on these goods and but a few more cars will arrive in this market, which will consist principally of grapes. New York state grapes, especially Concords and Niagaras, In 5 and 10-pound baskets, are being traded in heavily and a high range‘of prices being maintained. Delawares over for thia season. _ J. Cabbage prevail in abundance, in fact the most serious glut of the season Is now on, thereby causing considerable loss to the job bers in thia market. < Sweet potatoes dull and are being sold prin cipally by the market gardeners from wagons direct to retailers and consumers. Irish potatoes more plentiful, but do not pre vail In sufficient quantities to authortxe a de cline In prices. Fancy onions scarce and will remain high throughout the season. Egg receipts light and prices are holding up better than was expected. Same may be applied to live poultry, especially hens and large fries. But little demand for geese, guineas, cocks or ducks. High grade Tennessee butter Is very scarce and the best prices of the season now exist. Chinquapins and chestnuts ready sale at 83 50 to *4.00 per buahel. R. G. Dun & Co.’s Review. R G. Dun 4 Co.’s review says today: Failure of a few over-capitalized Industrial corporaUons to pay Interest on their stock 1* no criterion of conditions in manufacturing, although an Influence of some weight in the stock market. Reports from all sections of the country agree that there has seldom, if ever, been such vigorous prosecution of con structive work. Widely divergent lines ex hibit similar symptoms. Labor is well em ployed at good wages, and the buying power of the people is more than sufficient to meet the advance In the cost of living of 4.6 per cent over prices prevailing a year ago. Wholesome activity is still the feature at iron furnaces and steel mills. While old order* sre filed as rapidly as possible, there Is no immediate prospect of catching up with contracts, especially as each day brings new business with deliveries running far into next year. Idle plants are resuming as rapidly as arrangements can be made, and tin plate mills are adopting the latest and best processes. Domestic needs are so urgent in nearly all are receiving acanty attention, but there 1* reason to expect much activity tn foreign sales, whenever the home trade resumes a normal position. Pig production on October 1, ac cording to The Iron Age, was at the rate of 307.982 tons weekly, an Increase of 8.181 tons over the output on September 1, and 84,918 tons more than in October. 1900. Yet furnace stocks steadily decrease, amounting to only 861.593 ton* October 1. against 670,541 a year ago. and supplies in consumers’ hand* are believed to be light. Footwear shops are still producing at full capacity, not only in the old established New England factories, but In this state and at the west and south. Prices are unchanged as yet. though manufacturers contemplate the advancing of leather market with some un easiness. Hides and leather are both at the top point of the year, while the finished prod uct sells below the prices of early spring. Lib eral buying of both sole and upper leather caused a general advance, and in many grades the available supply Is light. Quiet conditions prevail In the dry goods market, not because of light demand, but through the strong views of sellers, which prevent export sales as well as domestic bus iness. At Fall River the print cloths situa tion Is most satisfactory, standard goods for delivery up to February are sold at 3c and the labor situation is much clearer than it was a week ago. A feature In the woolen goods is the large proportion of mill capacity at work on high grades of wool, shoddy and other adulterates being used much less than last year. Raw wool 1* firm and going into consumption stead ily. Slightly better relative prices have been established by the leading cereals, wheat making a fair gain, while corn lost a little of It* exceptional strength. There is no evi dence of holding back for higher prices in western receipts, for two weeks of 15,838.426 bushels, against 12.718,383 last year, when more attractive quotations prevailed. Exports from the United fltates are not eaual tb recent rec ord-breaking figure*, but still compare fairly well with earlier years. For the week, flour Included, shipments reached 4,199,328 bushels, against 3.588.439 a year ago. and 4,239,829 in 1899 The movement of corn is light, receipts at the Interior amounting to only 2,760,282 bushels, against 4.627.300 last year, and 6,110,209 In the same week two years ago, while exports from the Atlantic coast were but 535,251 bushels, against 2,701,268 In 1900, and 3,184,916 two years Mo- Failures for the week numbered 231 in the United States, against 232 last year and 34 in Canada, against 32 last year.

ARMY SURGEON REPORTS. Health of United States Soldiers Bet ter For Past Twelve WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Surgeon Gen eral Sternberg's annual report to the sec retary of war says 'the health In the army was unusually good during the cal endar year 1900. The admission rate to hospitals for all causes In the army, vol unteers and regulars, with a mean strength of 100,389 In 1900 was 2,311.81 per thousand of strength compared with 2.178.06 in the previous year; but during the year 1899 only 39,280 men out of a to tal of 106,546 were serving in the Philip pines while In the past year 66,862 of a total of 100,389 were thus serving. In the Philippine islands with a mean strength of 66,882, the admission rate was 2,621.96 as compared with 2,395.52 in the previous year, this Increase being mainly due to disease among the volunteers, the ratio for which rose from 1,859.21 to 2,761.79. The regulars on the other hand showed a marked decrease In the ratio of admis sion for disease, which fell from 2,454.10. to 2,197.73. Two-thlrds of the admissions for disease were caused by malarial fe vers and diarrhoeal diseases. The deaths from all causes amounted to 28.75 per thousand of strength as compared with 30.58 in the previous year. Disease caused 20.26 deaths, the principal cause being dysentery, which with other Intes tinal diseases gave a rate of 9.08. The rate from Injury amounted to 8.49. The death rate In China was 47.76 per thousand of strength, 23.62 from disease, and 24.14 from injury. ; From the close of the calendar year 1900 to the latest report's, the health of the troops In the Philippines has been stead ily improved. The health of the troops fn Cuba during the year was excellent. As a result of American occupation nearly every city and town has had its sanitary conditions Improved. Speaking of special diseases General Sternberg says: “The steady decrease of late years in the admissions for alcoholism among the men of Lie regular army Is a matter for congratulation. Military officers may be said to be unanimous in their opinion that this may be the result of the establish ment of the post exchange of canteen at military posts. Then? I® le ss drunken ness among the troops in active service than In a command being on garrison du ty in times of peace,* 1 . K / Reporting on the study of yellow fever by a board In .Cuba, General Sternberg says: r “The results obtained were especially valuable, showing that the bacillus icte roides bears no casual relation to yellow fever and that the mosquito serves as an intermediate host for the parasite of this disease. Further experiments of a closer character demonstrated that yellow fever is transmitted to non-immunes by the bite of a mosquito that has previously fed on the blood of those sick with this disease; that yellow fever can also be produced by the subcutaneous injection of blood taken from the general circulation during the first and second days of teh disease; that an attack of yellow fever produced by the bite of the mosquito coaters Im munity against the subsequent Injection of Infected blood; that yellow fever is not conveyed by clothing, bedding or mer chandise soiled by contact with those sick with the disease; that a house may be said to be Infected with yellow fever only when there are presant in It mosquitoes capable of conveying the parasite of th® disease, and that the spread of yellow fever can most effectually be controlled by measures directed to the destruction of mosquitoes and the protection of sick against the bites of these insects.’’ General Sternberg says the results of the investigation are of far reaching im portance, as the surgeons are now In pos session of knowledge which em&les them to stamp out yellow fever. FIVE DOLLARS PAID FOR VOTE. SAVANNAH, Ga., Oct. 10.—Savannah is contending with one of the hottest pri mary elections ever fought out in Chat- ( ' ham county today. Captain Henry McAlpin, J. S. Colltns, Walter C. Hartridge and S. L. Lazaron are running for ordinary in a primary election. There has not been a great deal of ex citement directly at the polls, but the anti-McAlpin forces stormed his head quarters at 11 o’clock to try to dislodge his workers. The police put a stop to the dis orderly conduct. The sensation of the day was the opin ion of City Attorney S. B. Adams that there is no law against vote buying in a primary election. He reported to Mayor Myers that there Is nothing in the stat utes against this practice. Hon. F. G. du- Btgnon agrees with Mr. Adams in this opinion. The McAlpin supporters rode around the polls in open carriages flourishing *5 bills. Deputy City Marshall J. Robert Cream er was suspended this morning by Mayor Myers for not attending to his duties. He has been taking art active part in the campaign in Captain McAlpin's Interests. COLONEL~R. F. LIGON DEAD. MONTGOMERY, Ala.. Oct. 11.—Colonel R. F. Ligon, at one time lieutenant gov ernor of Alabama, died at his residence, this city, this morning. He had been a great sufferer from spinal trouble, and this was the direct cause of death.

Mass., Oct. 10.—An Interesting coincidence of a wide difference of opinion upon the much discussed ship subsidy bill has been shown In Boston this week. Senator Hanna, of Ohio, and Senator Frye, of Maine, and other heavy weight Republican leaders held a conference, af ter which they announced the decision, which everybody knew beforehand, that their old ship subsidy bill wo«ld be pre sented and vigorously pressed at the next session of congress. They likewise pro claimed with becoming mildness full con fidence of Its passage. During their conference, just before their conference and just after their con ference labor organizations and political conventions were passing resolutions de nouncing the ship subsidy bill. The national convention of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, representing all centers of the iron Industry and fairly voicing the opinion of labor in all the large cities, declared that the ship subsidy bill was a robbery of the laboring and producing classes 4n order to give addi tional profit to great Industries already rich and announced, their purpose through their local unions to endeavor to defeat any congressman who supported the bill. The National Spinners’ Association de clared that the subsidy bill paved the way to a shipping trust and did nothing to ward reducing freight rates in the inter est of the producer and offered no help to the wage earner. The Massachusetts state Democratic convention denounced the bill as a raid on the public treasury in the Interest of a few ship builders and ship owners.” And lastly the Massachusetts state Re publican convention, Instead of rallying to the support of Senators Hanna, Frye and their confreres, gave the ship subsidy proposition this wee bit of a plank: “We favor government aid in building up our merchant marine on a just and equita ble basis toward all American citizens.” Under this declaration everybody In America, except the promoters of the Hanna brand of ship subsidy legislation, can claim reward. It Is so commonly known that the old subsidy bill is in the interest of those who drew it that they cannot claim without evoking a smile that it is “on a just and equitable bawls to ward all American citizens.” But under this broad declaration European tourists can claim benefit; American citizens who wish to purchase foreign ships and give them American registry can claim *.he right to do so; those who wish nothing to fly the American flag and get subsidy unless built in America can fairly con strue this plank their way; fast vessels, slow vessels, sail vessels and every other old vessel can claim that it should come In under this “just and equitable basis.” The resolution of the Iron workers was in these pointed words: "Whereas, It Is an Important duty of every American citizen to use his influence toward the promotion of the general wel fare and to discourage every policy which would be unfair and harmful; and “Whereas, The bill commonly known as the shipping subsidy bill, agitated In pre vious congresses and to be vigorously pushed in the next congress, carries an aggregate appropriation of at least one hundred and eighty million dollars for the benefit of a favored few and largely for additional profit to steamship lines al ready prosperous and awards a tremend ous proportion of the gratuity to fast pas senger ships which perform an inconsider able part In the commerce of the coun try; and “Whereas, This bill Is so drawn as to give no recognition to the laboring people or benefit to the producing classes, but confers unearned advantage upon those who advocate its passage, thereby being a species of class legislation which has met with denunciation at all times by the best men of all parties; therefore, “Resolved, That we, the National Asso ciation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, regard this as a measure which seeks to give to special interests an un deserved bonus of many millions collected in taxes from all me people and as un wise, unfair and unjustifiable, and we re spectfully protest against its enactment by congress; and “Resolved further, That the secretary of this convention is hereby Instructed to send a copy hereof to each local union and that the secretary of each local union is hereby Instructed to send a copy to their congressman and to request him to op pose the shipping subsluy bill and to say that If he does not vote against said bill the Iron workers will oppose his re-elec tlon to congress regardless of party af filiations.” The National Spinners’ Association were not less clear In understanding or felic itous In expressing their condemnation of this proposed “raid cn the public treas ury.” Said they; “Whereas, The duties of citizenship In a republic require every man to take an active Interest In public affairs, we ap plaud the desire to build up the merchant marine of this country to the end that -American freight shall be exported In American ships, but we do not regard It as a misfortune that the export trade has grown with tremendous rapidity that ships of all'nations have been called into requisition to carry it. We observe with pleasure that the shipping industry Is now growing more rapidly than for many years previous: and, “Whereas, The shipping subsidy bill which has been before congress and the country for discussion discriminates in favor of certain shipping Interests, so al lied together that they could, by the aid of the subsidy proposed for their benefit, form a shipping trust which would con trol the shipping business of this country, and this bill offers no help to the wage earner or producer and holds out no hope tor a reduction in the freight rates in which the masses of the people are inter ested; therefore, “Resolved, That we, the National Spin ners’ Association, In convention assem bled, protest against the consideration or passage by the next congress of the ship subsidy bill, and urge upon our respective representatives to oppose It.” WALKED TO ATLANTA. Footsore, lame and weary, having tramped 700 miles, for the purpose of en tering the Soldiers’ Home In Atlanta, Newton Frazier. 65 years old. arrived In Atlanta Thursday afternoon feeling con fident that his days of hardship and pri vation were over. When told that the home was burned to the ground and that at present the trustees could accept no more veterans, Frazier bowed his In his hands and wept like a child. A citizen directed the old veteran to police headquarters and there he told his story to Turnkey Coogler. That officer sent out for food for the old man and while eating he told of how he had heard of the opening of the home and started in August to get his papers ready In or der that he might become an inmate. Frazier enlisted In the Confederate army at Walhalla. S. C., In 1862 and fought to the end. Fifteen years ago he went to Berrien county- to reside with his son. He found that son in destitute circum stances but tljey managed to make a scant living for the old father. In August Frazier determined to enter the Soldiers’ Home but was told he must have necessary papers. In order to get these papers in proper shape It was nec essary to go to W r alhalla. S. C. Nothing daunted the old man started on his long walk and had his papers signed. It was necessary to have an old comrade at Jackson. S. C.. sign the papers also and from Walhalla Frazier walked to that place. At Jackson he learned his comrade had moved to Cartersville, Ga. He walked to Cartersville, had the papers fixed In the proper manner and started on his walk to Atlanta only to find on his arrival that the home was burned and he could not be admitted. The police will lookout for the old man until the veterans are in a po sition to provide for him. FAMOUS NELSON RANGERS. MACON. Oct. 11.—Col. Robert A.
