No noticeable change in the lemon stiuatlon, either as to consumption or prices. There Is a strong demand for oranges, with receipts being readily taken at fancy PpT*. B ’ Cranberries and celery selling well at fairly good prices. « Demand for cocoanuts very light, however, prices have shown no weakness. Irish potatoes plentiful with a normal range of prices existing. Sweet potatoes slow sale and there Is no satisfaction in handling them at present price*. The demand for onions Is unusually strong with price* advancing daily. Crop throughout the country Is light, and we doubt If higher prices do not prevail throughout the entire season than for many years proceeding.- Quite a liberal supply of cnestnuts now In the market with prices declining. There to little or no demand for vegetables with the exception of fancy tomatoes. Cabbage market to well cleaned up and the demand and prices will no doubt be better during next week. . - - . Receipts of Missouri peaches very light and prices have advanced from 25 to 50 cents on six basket crates. Poultry Is In light supply with high prices being maintained. Eggs more plentiful, however, receipts not sufficiently liberal as to warrant any decline in pricee. There Is a strong' demand for table butter, with the best price* of the season being ob tained. • R. G. Dun & Co.'* Review. R. G. Dun & Co.'* review say* today: Unfavorable signs are rare In the business outlook. Manufacturing Industries enjoy ex ceptional activity, and most jobbers and re tailers find no occasion for complaint. Mild weather to»the one influence that may be charged with retarding retail merchants dis-. trlbutlon, yet there is general confidence that any sales thus postponed will be made up later. The same Influence Is invaluable In facilitating the handling of crops, erecting buildings and other outdoor work. Although a fifth of the year to still to be heard from. Including the usual interruption of election* and possible disturbance of legislation, there to ample evidence that the volume of legiti mate business will largely exceed ail previous records. Speculation to comparatively quiet, both in securities and options on leading products, which emphasizes the activity in trade channels as shown by bank exchanges for the week at New York, 33 per cent larger than last year and 8.04 above 1899, while at other leading cities the gains were 13.3 and 9.1, respectively. Strength without inflation still summarizes the Iron and steel strike, evidence accumu lates that the year will surpass all records In production of finished material and conse quently In consumption of ore and pig iron. Orders already booked for delivery far into 1902 promise that the next year will bring still higher records, and the steadiness of prices makes the outlook especially favorable. Mills as a rule have practically cloeed con tracts for all the orders that can be filled this year, and future developments can only affect conditions In 1902 as to finished steel. Heavy order* are recorded for rails with a free move ment of etructural material, while wire and wire nails go abroad in large quantities. Pig iron to hardening under the vigorous demand, forge and southern foundry securing definite advances, and Bessemer In Pittsburg Is firm at 816. Tin plates are almost restored to normal prices. Since domestic mills have re sumed and Imports ceased, the London market has declined sharply. Copper rose In the face, of reports that a large redaction In list price was contemplated by leading producers to re duce stocks. Footwear factories still have many weeks full employment an heavy weight goods for winter. Supplementary orders for seasonable lines still arrive from eastern jobbers. Prices are not quotably higher, though the rapid rise of leather and hides have taken so much of the profit that shoes must soon deteriorate In quality, if better quotations are not forth coming. Leather has begun to exhibit symp toms of speculation, but buying by the lead ing manufacturer for actual consumption also reaches a large total. Cottons movs freely with prices well sus tained for all lines and definite advances in bleached goods. Woolen goods are more quiet, yet shipments of over 5,000.000 pounds of-wool weekly from Boston Indicate no decrease in activity at the mills . Fluctuations in cereals were small, with markets dull and featureless. Corn receded a little further. Influenced unfavorably by the Insignificant shipments from Atlantic ports, only 581,555 bushels for the week, compared with 2.799.887 last year and 4,747,258 In 1899. Wheat lost a little of the early gain, al though declining prices a year ago make the difference smaller than it has been at any time this crop year. Foreign buying of flour is still unsatisfactory, but the outgo of wheat Is heavy, for the week, United States ex ports. flour included, amounting to 4,391.053 bushels, compared with 3,646,761 last year and 4,255,766 two years ago. Western receipts of 5,903,614 bushels, against 7,426,651 last week and 7,126,419 a year ago. indicate that the new crop is being marketed less freely, growers holding back in expectation of better prices, despite the estimate for foreign authorities that the world's yield will exceed 2,700.000,000 bushels and unofficial predictions of a domes tic crop of more than 760,000,000 bushels. Failures for the week number 229 in the United States, against 209 a year ago, and 23 in Canada, against 26 last year. ‘ ATLANTA MARKETS. Cotton. ATLANNTA, Oct. 19.—Middling cotton quiet at 7%c.

DESTRUCTION INEVITABLE. The Pine Forest* of Georgia Cannot Be Saved, Saye Wright. In regard to the ' published statements that Dr. Charles H. Herty, of the Uni versity of Georgia, has recently stated that a remedy for the destruction of the pine forests was necessary in order to preserve the turpentine industry of the state, Assistant Commissioner of Agri culture Wright stated Friday morning that he did not see how this was possible. Captain Wright stated that Dr. Herty was undertaking a movement which, if carried out, would preserve one of the greatest resources of the state, that of preserving the pine forests, but that he did not believe it could be done. Dr. Herty has suggested that the pine forests as they are boxed for the rosin in them and after aoout four years die and are sawed into lumber, they should be replanted and in this way keep the forests of the southern portion of the state growing as rapidly as they are cut down. Captain Wright stated that bills had been presented to the legislature provid ing severe restrictions on persons tapping trees for the naval stores products, but that it seemed none of the measures have become effective in reducing the slaugh ter of the pine forests. "The pine forests are gcflng,” said Cap tain Wright this morning. “There is no help for it. The trees cannot live long er than four years ai<.er they have been tapped. To grow a pine forest so that it will produce rosin in abundance would re quire about 40 years. Business men. land owners or any othfer class cannot wait this length of time for the development of their lands. The- lands of south Georgia are too valuable for cane, cotton, peas, potatoes, cassava and other products to be allowed to He idle. “The farmers of north Georgia are now looking to the southern portion of the state for farm lands. It is an inevitable movement. “If we could preserve the forests it vould accomplish a great deal, but the demand for naval stores calls for whole sale and almost indiscriminate destruc tion of the pines. Already firms in Savannah, the largest naval stores port in the world, are going into Alabama for their raw products, the Georgia fleld now being almost exhaust ed. The department would gladly co operate in any way to stop the present destruction of trees.” Every negro in the south will feel a shade whiter, now that one of their own color has had th© privilege of eating at the same table with the president’s fam ily. The southern race problem can nev er be settled so long as men like Mr. Roosevelt persist in adding fuel to the flame. 9 , 1 -S-V’ • There’* Money In Apple*. “I read what Colonel Mark Hardin had to say about the mopey there is in peach es,” remarked a prominent north Geor gian in the arcade last night, “but let me tell you that Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens has hit the keynote when he ad vises our people to pay more attention to apples. There is no section of the coun try that can grow finer apples than middle and north Georgia, and the beauty of it is, they can be grown with comparatively lit tle trouble. Especially is this true in the section north of Atlanta. I was up at Cornelia a few weeks ago and I saw scores of barrels of as fine apples as you would wish to see being shipped to Atlanta. I learned that absolutely no at tention had been paid to this Industry farther than to gather the fruit. "Now, here 11 a crop that will net the grower from S4OO to SBOO an acre, and if properly developed will be worth as much to Georgia as the peach crop. Commis sioner Stevens is right when he urges that more attention be paid to apple grow ing. As for my part, I had rather have 60 acres of apples than the same amount in peaches. In the first place the trees are harder, longer-jived and require less cul tivktion, while the fruit is easier to gath er apd less perishable and less expensive to ship. “Georgia is the greatest state in the union,” continued this enthusiastic Geor gian, but she can be greater still if her farmers will follow the advice of Com missioner Stevens; not only as to rais ing apples, but hay, grain and the other crops upon which he lays so much stress. Mr. Stevens, by the way, is doing a great work for Georgia. He has the double ad vantage of being both a practical farmer and a splendid business man, and the farmers of Georgia cannot do better than to follow his advice to the letter." . Dangerous to Life. ■ —n ■ e Surgical Operation* for Piles Dan= gerous and Unnecessary. The failure of ointments, salves and pills to permanently cure piles has led many to believe the only cure to be a surgical operation. But surgical operations are dangerous to life and, moreover, are often unsuccessful and at this time are no longer used by the best physicians nor recommended by them. The safest and surest way to cure any case of piles, whether itching, bleeding or protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile Cure, composed of vegetable oils and acids, healing and soothing to the in flamed parts and containing no opium or other narcotic. Dr. Williams, a prominent orlflclal sur-< geon, says: "It is the duty of every sur geon to avoid an operation if possible to cure in any other way, and after many trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure I un hesitatingly recommend it in preference to an operation. “The harmless acids and oils contained in it cause the blood vessels to contract to a natural condition and the tumors are absorbed and the cure is made without pain, inconvenience or detention from business. , “In bleeding and itching piles the Pyra mid is equally valuable.” In some cases a single package of the Pyramid bas cured long standing cases; being in suppository form it is always ready for use; can be carried In the pocket when traveling: It is applied at night and does not Interfere with the daily occu pation. The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the safest and surest remedy for piles, but it is the best known and most popular from Maine to California. Every physician and druggist knows it and what it will do. The Pyramid Pile Cure can be found at all drug stores at 50c for full slxed treat ment.

GOOD ROADS TRAIN THROUGH THE SOUTH TRAIN WILL LEAVE WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 1, OVER SOUTH ERN RAILWAY. Negotiations which have been pending for some time were closed last week by which the National- Good Roads associa tion, assisted by the office of public road inquiry, United States department of agriculture, will run a “Good Roads Spe cial Train” over the linee of the Southern railway, stopping at various points for the purpose of building sample roads and holding meetings with the view of edu cating the people along the line in prac tical road building. These arrangements were perfected by. President W. H. Moore, of the National Good Roads as» soclatlon, with the Southern Railway company. It is planned to spend several days at each point, giving ample time to construct a road from one-half to one mile long. ‘ President Spencer, of the Southern Rail way company, is taking a great deal of interest in this subject of good roads for the south. Ever since the organization at the National Good Roads association, the Southern railway has been represented at its national . meetings and many of its public demonstrations, and this train is distirictlvely a Southern railway unffer takipg, to.be carried out at a heavy ex pense to that'company, and is in line with the development" policy so persistently followed in building up the country tribu tary to the lines of the Southern railway. The train will leave Washington about November 1. It will consist of about ten cars, on which will be transported all necessary machinery for the building of roads, offices,. road experts and laborers. The trip will consume several weeks. So much has been said and written In . regard to this subject of good roads that the people of the south are practically in thorough accord with the idea that good roads are l an acquisition to the country. It is desired that every citizen of the south will, if possible, attend these good road meetings and witness the methods Introduced of building public highways. As the lines of competition are being drawn closer and margins of profit nar rower, every ’ element looking to the economical production and , distribution of the products of the country will be em ployed, and as it has been thoroughly demonstrated that good roads are the prime factor in the upbuilding of every section of the country, every citizen of the south is expected to take a personal interest in this subject. The south, it is stated, needs better roads; every farm would be benefited thereby, the public will appreciate the advantages thereof and it is thought the educational feature carried on by the National Good Roads association, supported by . the Southern Railway company, will - accomplish the purpose of this movement. For the purpose of interesting the citl sens of the communities adjacent to the points where these meetings will be held in attending them, low round-trip rates will be made from points in the territory tributary to the central meeting places. 30-MINUTE LAW~FAVORED. Ordinance That Train* Be Brought In to Depot at Interval*. The proposed city ordinance requiring that there shall be an interval of thirty minutes between the entry of every train that goes into the union denot. has-met with widespread approval. The shed, ut terly inadequate, is, under the present schedule, always so congested with trains and people, that every moment’is full of menace to Hfe and a terrible tragedy is likely to occur there at any time, and the proposed law is considered an urgent ne cessity. • : ' The leaky apd filthy condition of the shed—enough in Itself to condemn the structure as unfit for further use—has now, since thi'opening of the fair, be come a secondary offense against the city and the traveling public, and the likeli hood of being crushed beneath the wheels of the moving trains come to the fore as the worst feature of the nuisance. Every hour brings to dozens of people a narrow escape from death in this manner, and it is only a question of time before some unfortunate falls to run the dreadful gauntlet suwe»*rully unless the law in terposes its strong hand and protects the people. HILLMOR6AW DEAL. Consolidation of Northwestern Rail roads is Said to Be Near at Hand. BURLINGTON, la.. Oct. 17,—What is believed to t?e the flrs| tangible movement in the Hill-Morgan deal for the consolida tion of northwtstern'roads was taken here when articles of Incorporation for • the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway company were filed in the county audi tor's office. The capital stock of the new company is $100,000,000. and its object, as set forth in the articles of incorporation is to. acquire the Burlington system and other road* and to maintain a railroad in the states of Illinois. lowi, Missouri, Kan sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming. South Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and Minne sota. The life of the corporation began October 15, 1901, and will continue for fifty years with the 'principal place of business in Burlington, lowa. It is said that the corporation will take charge of the Chicago. Burlington. and Quincy Railroad -corppany and the many lines leased and controlled by that com pany and transfer them all together to the Hill-Morgan syndicate. The new corporation is legally entirely separate from’ -the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company. The old company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois, while the new one is controlled by the laws of.the state of lowa. There is but one change in the name of the company—the old is a "rall road” company, the new a “railway” company. The incorporators, J. C. Peasley, J. M. Deering, J. D. Connell, W. W. Baldwin and E. M. Shelton, met in Chicago Tues day and formed the articles of incorpora tion, but nothing was then given out about the matter. The same papers will be filed in the secretary of state’s office at Des Moines. . , •The first meeting of the incorporators of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad company will be held in Burling ton. The new Incorporators will probab ly meet on Saturday and elect officers and the steps contemplated for taking control of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad by the new company may then be disclosed. TO VISIT GEORGIA RELATIVES. A* Soon as Possible Roosevelt Will Come to This State. 4 CHARLOTTE, N. C., Oct. 17.—Mayor A. H. Boyden, of Salisbury, who went to Washington to Invite President Roosevelt to visit his city and hunt quail in that section, has returned home. Referring to his invitation to the president the mayor said Mr. Roosevelt had expressed strong pleasure at the prospect, remarking that his experience as a hunter had been con fined almost exclusively to large game, and that he greatly wished to try quail shooting. The president said, howevpr, that it was his intentldn to employ the first opportunity afforded by the state of public affairs to visit, his Georgia kins -oeople. the Bullochs. and he did not feel like making engagements in advance of this vi*lt. . ‘ ~ DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK? ]jk SBll ° Do You Have Rheumatism?

Escapade* of the Gay Princes* Montez Are Recalled. The escapades of Aim Odel la Diss de Bar, or Laura Jackson, who is said to have been the Princess Montez in Atlanta during 1881, are being now recalled by those who knew her while she resided here. The Princess Montez came to Atlanta from Florida. She secured apartments at the Arlington hotel and immediately en- < gaged a carriage from Mr. W. O. Jones, i who then' had his livery stable on Loyd j street. She paid $3 in advance. The entire bill for the month was to have amounted to SM. A prominent steward in the First Meth odist church—there is considerable conflict ] of testimony as to who he Was—introduc ed her into his church,- and there she gave a series of lectures, all of ‘ them directed against the Catholics. She said she had been persecuted by the Cffthollcs. Shortly after she began lecturing Mr. W. O. Jones—having in the meantime •ent his bill to her several times—sffld that he believed she was a fraud and a fake. She heard of the remark and sent for Mr. Jones. After he arrived at the Arlington she invited him to her room, and having secured his presence, there, she locked the doer. The Princess Montez then produced a cowhide and sweetly asked MT. Jones if he had remarked that she was a fraud ] and a fake. Mr. Jones emphatically denied that he I had made such a remark or that he had I ever thought of such a thing. “She weighed about 200' pounds,” said j Mr. Jones in telling of the occurrence. | "and was strong as Sampson. Os course , I did not want to hit a woman.»but I I believe she could have whipped me any- ' way. However, I denied saying that she 1 was a fraud and. a fake, although I dis- I tinctly remembered having said it.” The Princess Montez then asked Mr. Jones why he had not continued sending the carriage to her every afternoon. "T believe,” said Mr. Jones, “that I told her the horse was sick and that he was the only one I had.” Anyway the princess did not cowhide Mr. Jones and she continued her lectures. After being here about three weeks she was seen riding out Peachtree street with Dr. Roderick Badger, a negro phy sician, who is now dead, and that queer ed her game in Atlanta. She was not al lowed to deliver any more lectures and she shortly afterwards skipped out, leav ing behind a quantity of unpaid bills and I. O. U’s as souvenirs of the “real prin cess,” who smiled on Atlanta society folk for three weeks. , , LUMBERMEN ORGANIZE. ern Lumbermen in session here yesterday NEW ORLEANS.
