FOOD PDICES THE OOM SKYWMD PRICE OF PROVISIONS MAKES LIVING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE PEOPLE WHO EARN DAILY BREAD BY SALARIES. LONDON. July M—The Increase in the *>r!ce of provisions is making a great difference in the Ute of the London’s humbler inhabitants. "It is absolutely true.”* declared the head of one of the greatest provision concerns in London, “to say that the man earning thirty shillings (1..50) a week today can obtain less for his money than one earning twenty-five shillings (*S35> a week could two years ago.” Provisions are rising all around and are going to rise further. Meat, bacon and eatables generally are becoming deo.rer. At the present moment. In the opinion of leaders in the provision trade, food is dearer than it has been at any time for a quarter of century. Bacon, the poor man's luxury, has risen in price between one-third and one-half. Bacon dealers declare this Is due to a scarcity of hogs t in the Patted States. “How does the poor man. whose wages •re a fixed amounb do?" one dealer ex perienced in the retail trade was asked.' -Ht :tmply doesn't do at all." was the reply. "He has either to diminish the quantity of bacon he eats or else the more usual course, he substitutes a aheap jam or marmalade.” Chickens all round are nine pence (eighteen cents) each more at retail than in l*d. Pigeons are three pence or four pence (six or eight cents) more. Pork has risen so much that many shops no longer keep it. LONDON FEELS THE EFFECTS OF THE BEEF TRUST’S GRASP LONDON, July M-The latest of the nu merous sins charged to America by Lon doners is responsibility for the high prices of food. The increase in the cost of meats and other necessaries of subsistence reaches figures this week never paralleled before tn London. The representatives of the Chicago meat packers deny that any abnormal prices of meats arc chargeable to the American shippers. Both they and the retailers are Complaining that there is no money tn the business. All concerned ray they would be glad enough to suspend business until more normal conditions are restored. The representative of one of the big Chi cago concerns, when questioned by a rep resentative of the Associated Press as to why the wholesale prices of moat were two pence higher this week than they were at this time a year ago. said: “It is due to various causes. but not in the least degree to the combinations of other schemes of Americans. Australia’s freezing plants have been shut down on account of the drouth there, cattle have suffered a£d Australian shipments have fallen eff three-quarters. The embargo placed by the government on Argentine cattle on account of diseases has Increased the scarcity of meat. The primary cause of the high prices of American beef is the scarcity of com and feeding material. Then the American farmer is selling corn at higher prices instead ot feeding it to cattle, thereby decreasing the supply of corn-fed animals. "As for America controlling prices at Smithfield, we have to sell tn competition, and we are obliged to take largely what the buyers give. Eight hundred and fifty thousand head of American cattle were shipped to England In 1101. while England herself supplied 2.500 GOO head, so it Is Im possible for America to control prices." NAVYTLAIirFTR TIRELESS SYSTEM BOARD OF FIVE WILL SOON BE APPOINTED TO SELECT SYS- TEM AND TRAINMEN FOR THE WORK. WASHINGTON.

O. B. Stevens will be pleased to learn that he has im proved very much during the past week, and that he will probably be in his office today.

Ga., July 28.—The cotton crop in and around Laurens county will, in all probability, be cut short this year, as the recent heavy rains coming after the long drouth, has scalded the cotton very much.

July 26—A dis tinguished party assembled around the president’s board at luncheon In his Sag amore HIH home today. Aside from the members of the house party there were Secretary of the Navy Moody. Attorney General Knox; Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin; William M. Byrne. United States district attorney of Delaware, and John C. Davis, attorney general of New York state. During the afternoon the visitors dis cussed -with the president and Secretary Moody some of the details of the inves tigation that is to be conducted by the department of justice into the ability of the new Panama canal company to pass a clear title to its property to the United States. It Is expected that In a few weeks the Investigation will be in full progress. Thus far Mr. Knox has been making only the preliminary arrangements for It. No details of the conference were made pub lic. It is understood that the beef trust In quiry was adverted to brefiy and In this phase of the discussion Attorney General Davies participated. He was particularly interested because he Instituted some time ago an action against the representatives of the so-called "beef crust” in New York state, r Mr. Davies discussed his probable nom ination. In the event of his failure to, be nominated, it is quite likely the presi dent will name him to succeed Judge Al fred C. Coxe. as United States district judge of the northern district of New York, Judge Coxe having been advanced by the president to the United States cir cuit bench. Should Mr. Davies obtain the nomination. It Is understood to be the In tention of the president to appoint Rep resentative James Sherman, of New York, to the existing vacancy on the district bench. District Attorney Byrne went over the political situation In Delaware with the president. Delaware is now without rep resentation in the United States senate. The legislature Is Republican, but is deadlocked upon the election of senators. An effort is being made to compromise the difficulties as to dissolve the deadlock, and have a special session of the legisla ture to elect two Republicans before the terms of the present members of the leg islature shall have expired. This evening the president entertained at dinner besides Secretary Moody. Eu gene A. Phllbin, former district attorney of New York city; Frank C. Travers, of this village, and the Rev. Father John L.

BLOCKADE SHE HAS STOPPED AT PORT OF SPAIN AND MAY BE RE LIEVED BY THE PO TOMAC. WASHINGTON, July 28—The gunboat Marlett, which sailed yesterday for the Orinoco river to Investigate the effectlve , ness of the blockade declared by Presi dent Castro, has stopped en route at Port of Spain.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, JULY 28, 1902. ALMOST PANIC IN CHICAGO MARKET JULY OATS DROP FROM 69 CENTS TO 55, THEN BOUNDED BACK TO 67, AT WHICH THEY CLOSED. CHICAGO, July 26.—Great excitement ruled in the oat pit today. Prices fluctu ated so widely and wildly that specula tors were almost panic-stricken. In twen ty minutes July new oats dropped from 69c to 56c, a loss of 16c from the opening of trade. In half an hour more the price rocketed to 67c, the closing quotation. The cause of the pandemonium was the rumor that James Hatten, who Is sup posed to control contracts for about 1,500,- UOO bushels of long stuff, which shorts fear they cannot deliver, had allowed his un fortunate opponents to settle at about 70c. No support was givon the market for some time. Receipts of oats, which have not been liberal for some time, were much Improved today at 224 cars. A liberal movement was estimated for next week. Fair weather had been drying out the fields to some extent and other conditions favored a natural decline in prices. With the Patten contract*, out of the way the crowd started to let the market take its course and thresh out the inflation in values. July new oats, which opened firm at 71c, floundered to 55c before any sup port came. Then the stnall shorts heard that no settlement had been made and few speculators who sold until they rush ed back to cover and, with a whoop, prices jumped to 67c. Trade was not particularly heavy, but fluctuates were very ragged. Quotations were 2c apart at times. The other grains felt the depressing influences of the stampede and especially July op tions. The net loss In July oats was 2 l-2c. July wheat closed 2 l-4c down and July corn 2 l-2c lower at 63c. DISAPPEARANCEOF PITTS IS STILL UNEXPLAINED The mystery over the disappearance of Felix Pitts, whose blood-stained wagon was found at Hemphill Wednesday after noon, is still unsolved, and Is but height ened by the now discovered fact that this is not the first time Pitts has disappeared. Borne years ago, without any warning, Pitts disappeared and was gone from home for some time, giving no intimation ot where he was or where he had gone, until one day he turned up at home. This information was given Chief A. Q. Turner, of the county police, Saturday afternoon by some neighbors of Pitts. They did not know just where Pitts had gone at the time of his former disappear ance, and Mrs. Pitts, his wife, is now too ill to be questioned. But even if Pitts has taken it into his head to disappear, the blood stains on the wagon are not explained. The chick en which the county police believe Pitts killed and sprinkled its blood upon the wagon, was found lying by the road with its head off, and no blood was about the fowl - itself, thereby seeming to lend weight to the theory that Pitts employed the chicken’s blood to lend color to some murder theory. Not the slightest tflace has been found of the missing man as yet. . Jilted Drummer Kill* Himself. CLARINDA, la.. July 26.—Harry Faber, traveling for a Keokuk flrm, shot and killed himself today because his sweet heart had jilted him. Torn bits of a letter and a revolver were found by his side.

Mr. Brownlow, of Tennessee, has among hit constituents an itinerant preacher who la not only an eloquent preacher, but in his opinion, has a knowledge of the Scriptures second to no one’s. So confident is he that he can make clear the most obscure passage* that he In variably asks his hearers to bring him any puzzling text they wish explained, says The Waahlngton Post. At the close of a very large and successful meeting a country bumpkin sitting In the back of the hall, in response to the pastor's invita tion. announced that there was a matter, a very important matter, he would like to have unraveled. I Happy that an opportunity to show hie erudi tion had come at last, the wise man encouraged the fellow to com* to the front and present his problem. - • What I want to know is,” said the bucollo. "t* whether Job's turkey waa a hen or a gobbler.” And when the preacher turned red and cough ed to hide his confusion his Interrogator re marked In a voice that was audible through the whole hall: "I'll be durned if I didn't stump him the first time!” Blunder of the Lawyer. | Tit-Bits.

NEW YORK, July 26.—The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices 1 to 4 points lower, this being a fair response to unfavorable Liverpool cables. Before the first wave of selling gave place to a hur ried movement of shorts for cover, the list worked oft to six points from last night’s final close. Then came rumors of probable floods In the Brazos valley In Texas as a result of the tremendous rains In and around Temple of late. These stories were given color by a forecast for further precipitation tonight and tomor row. The bear contingent was soon In full retreat and prices rapidly advanced. July sold at 8.50 as against 8.15 on yesterday's break, while August worked up to 8.32, or 29 points above the lowest of yesterday. The receipts were large at the ports and some of the Interior towns, but this fact cut little figure as an Influence. A prom inent local commission house bought Au gust freely, believed to be for Philadel phia interests, while the rank iand file of the commission contingent covered shorts for constituents who did not care to risk over Sunday developments in Texas. Wall street appeared to be selling distant months on the rise and Europe sold Jan uary. The south operated in * cautious manner on both sides of the account.

NEW ORLEANS, July 38.—There was some little moving about among buyers in the spot cotton market today, but no trading of any consequence. Offerings were very poor, and for such small lists of desirable cotton as they chanced to have on hand factors were disposed to claim slight concessions, which the pur chasing element were disinclined to make. The result was ths,t only 200 bales of spots changed hands. Quotations unchanged. The market for futures was firmer at the opening with net gains of 5 to 9 points. Soon after the first call prices began to sag, both here and at New York, on the new crop months, under the in fluence of realizing sales, so that on the sound of the gong the net result showed in gains of but 4 points on August and 1 point each on November, December, January and March. Sep tember closed 1 point down and the other months at even figures. Too much rain in sections of Texas reported overflow of Brazos river bottom and ravages of the Mexican boll weevil were the elements that held the market up today. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS. La, July 2*.—Up to Thurs day old general liquidation waa fiercest in evidence, followed Friday morning by renewed selling, making' the opening call Friday the lowest for the week. On Thursday a party with an International reputation issued a manifesto to the effect that this crop surely would be eleven million bales and probably twelve, advising producers to accept current prices This advice sent out frota an office in New York may have frighiened a few into liquidating their holdings and a few Into shorting the market, but it is not in evidence that producers of cotton incline to this New Yorker's advice. Already complaints of too much rain in portions of Texas. Friday’s rainfall at Cameron, Milan county, was 13 Inches in five hours with 6.72 inches at Tem ple. Bulls say an eleven million crop will be needed and that prices are too low. They point to peace and increased consumption throughout the world. The absurdity of an estimate at this time of this crop anywhere near accurate is obvious. Many things could happen, as in 1889. when one cold October night cut the crop short a million bales. It Is also pointed out that the New Yorker now advising people to sell cot ton was a million bales out of the way on his 4900 crop estimate and two cents out of the way on his price for summer positions that year. Early in the spring of 1900 this party sent telegrams broadcast to lawyers, doctors and others over the south advising as he does now. The result was two cents a pound advance. The market closes with some recovery from the lowest of week but considerably lower than last Saturday. Liqui dation has been very drastic and it is thought by many that the markets are in a position to advance rapidly on bad crop news. Murphy & Co.’* Cotton L*tt«r. NEW YORK, July 26.—There was an advance in the Liverpool cotton market today, which though slight indicated there as here a belief that a rally was in order from the recent sharp depression. The talk of excessive rains is now Indulged In quite generally and it looks as If bulls will use this with some effect Just as they before used dry weather talk for helping the cause, notwithstanding big rains in Texas It is claimed by the ex treme bull wing that they came too late to do tnqph good and that the crop there and elsewhere Is so spotted as to render it beyond possibility of reaching anything remarkable. On the other hand we hear claims of a crop ot no less than 12.000,000 If weather conditions prove favorable be tween now and October 15. Prices here opened 5c lower for September and Octo ber. Other months were off 1 to 3 points. Cables showed too little variation to In duce extensive local operations. Numer ous southern people here were not so con fident of an immense crop as generally talked of while the most conservative concerns regard It is absurd to calculate just now either on an iqunense or very small crop. A sharp rally followed the opening. on general buying and something ot a scare on big Texas rains and fore cast of further showers. Some reports had It that considerable damage had taken place. Southern Exchange Grtton Letter. NEW YORK, July 26.—Liverpool- opened higher and steady. An early firmness was developed, whfch the trade could not over throw during the short session. Our mar ket sympathized with Liverpool, opening at an advance of 6 points, and later ad vanced to 15 points above last night’s final figures. Numerous reports of excess ive rains were received during the day, , which will In part account for the strength displayed by our market In the late trad ing. Almost every of gossip re ceived this morning was of a bullish char acter. It is thought, however, that these reports will be discounted, and we will witness a declining market for some time to come. i New Orleans was very steady and not inclined to “blow with the breeze.” That market was dull and featureless, with ex ceedingly narrow fluctuations.

Some little buying for fall account was Indulged in by buyers from far away houses, but the majority of those in town axe looking over stocks before purchasing. Next week is expected to de velop more activity along fall lines. A very fair amount of summer trade is still in evi dence, with jobbers, and until this subsides fall goods will not be pushed. Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO. July 28.—Wild and jagged fluctu ations in new July oats held speculators on the exchange spell bound today. In twenty min utes the cornered option slumped 16%c and in as many minutes more there was a rally of 12c. The erazy gyrations resulted from a rumor that the Patten deal in July options had been settled and from the alrnqst Immediate con tradiction of the same story. Predicted heavy receipts for next week in all grains, but es pecially in oats, had much to do with the bearish sentiment that was prevalent on the floor before the break started. The depression spread into the other pits, and although trad ers were all at sea as to the real position of the manipulated July options in all the three pits, yet at the end of trade prices were all rather bearishly demoralized. July lost 3%c, September oats 101%c, July wheat 2c, Septem ber wheat %@%c, July corn 2%c and September corn %c. Provisions closed 7%015c lower. Blackboard figures of today’s work in the oats pit looked very sensational, yet the actual business tn the pit was nothing unusual. Ex citement naturally ran high and this pit was the center of attraction to the board following. At the start there was weakness in both July and September options, influenced by Increased receipts, fair weather, or at least weather fairer than the general conditions of late, and expectations were that a heavy general move ment of oats to this center would begin next week. It took only 25,000 bushels to knock July down 16c, and in fluctuations of 2 and 3 cents at a time at that. The terrific slump came as a great surprise to all the pit crowd. Some had it that James Patten had settled his contracts of about 1,500,000 bushels with the shorts at something near 70c. Others said that*cash houses and big cash consignments due here next week were selling at the fancy prices against them. Still others said the little shorts were in and that the light selling was simply a feeler by the Patten clique to see what the effect would be on the market and on the shorts. It is conceded that the big shorts did not set tle anything in the open market. Gossip had it, however, that nearly all the shorts covered. Mr. Patten said he had made no settlements. Natural conditions were such as to warrant a good break in prices, only the July deal was out of ths way. The crop reports were excep tionally favorable. Naturally all the deferred months felt the weakness of July. The prices sagged to 69 at once on offerings, but did not begin its big slump until the middle of the session, when July fell to 66c. The close was weak 3%c under at *7c. September opened a shade up to a shade down at 3446034 c, broke to 3244 c and closed 10146 c down at 33c. Receipts today were more liberal than for some time at 224 cars. 49 contract. Wheat ruled weak. Light contract grading, higher cables and rains tn the Nebraska har vests had only a temporary bracing effect. Large receipts in the southwest started sell ing and closing out a good long line of July stuff caused a big drop In that option. The bearish sentiment spread into other months «nd selling was general and heavy. At no time was there good support to the failing market. The marked depression both in oats and corn was additional cause for weakness and a weak close was the result. At no time after the start was the crowd inclined to fol low the only real bullish incentive —low" grad ing. This was too heavily offset by the move ment to market and by the demoralized condi tion of the market for low grade stuff. St. Louts had over 300,060 bushels today and Kansas City about 200,000. The latter point expects over 300,000 bushels Monday. St Louis reported stuff on ths track unsold. July opened 46c down at 76 and closed 2c lower at September opened 46044 c up on the early bullish news, slumped to 7107146 c and closed weak 460%c down at 7144©71%c. Receipts 231 cars, 6 contract.

Seaboard clearances equaled 671.<MM) buafael*. Corn prices melted away and ruled lower all day. It was not so much a matter of news as of no support that caused the decline. Aside <rom the fact that July options eased materially at the start, there were bearish advices that depressed the other months. The pit ruled de cidedly heavy. With the manipulation of the markets so much In evidence as today, it was needless to look outside for the explanation of the decline. July opened 46c down at 6544, sold at *544c and closed weak, 2(6c down at 63c. The decline stopped on the buying of a few fives. Although the trading in July did not amount to more than 150,000 bushels. September opened 460’ic up at 60%060>4c. sold down to 58%c and closed weak, 1c down at 59%c. Receipts were 278 ears. Provisions, after a steady opening on a firm hog market, weakened on general selling and lack of support. The grain jumble had some effect. Trade was not large. Little Interest was shown in the business of this pit. September pork closed 744 c down at 317.30; September lard 15c down at 810.7744. and September ribs 10c off at J 10.40.

Large receipts in the southwest started selling and a little later on closing out of a line of July caused a big drop in the option and affected other months. •There was general selling, and but little support to the fnarket at any time. Weak ness in other grain also had some effect. Cables were strong and higher on bad weather in England. Corn developed weakness on general i selling, and there is a big loss in all op- tions. Weakness In oats caused a lot of corn to come out. Considerable of It came out oh stop orders. The market did not get much support. Harris-Gates covered about a quarter of a million September. Trade was good and more Interest was taken In the market than for several days. There was a sensational drop in July oats, the price declining to 55 from 70. There was general weakness In the mar ket, due to the increased receipts and crop prospects. Shorts have nearly all covered. All months are lower. After a steady opening on the hog situation pro visions weakened on general selling and lack of support, and declined easily. Weakness of coarse grains has some ef fect. Trade was not large, and there was not much Interest manifested In the mar ket. The close was barely steady, with declines in products. Southern Exchange Grain Letter. CHICAGO. July 26—Wheat has suffered a further decline today of %c. The market was weak and nervous nearly ail day. Liquidation is raid to be the main cause of the depression in that cereal. There were a good many or ders executed for commission houses and a good many sales tor short account by eleva tor concerns. Corn lost 2%c at one time today. In the first few minutes trading corn looked strong, but a decldedlj- bearish undertone set in about 11 o’clock and was in evidence until the cloze. A slight reaction from the lowest point took place just before the cloae. but th* weak*saw could not be overcome at this late hour, and the market closed with a loss of about 3c on the day. - Oats svmpathlzed with wheat and corn, »oe ing 144 c. There waz a scramble to liquidate long July oats and this broke" the market tor that option from 49c to 44%c. ; Provisions were weaker on heavy receipt* of hogs. Packing houses sold pork and ribs.

PUNT FOR COLUMBUS A BOSTON SYNDICATE BUYS PROPERTY ALONG THE RIVER FRONT OF COLUMBUS TO FURNISH MOTIVE POWER. , COLUMBUB, Ga., July 2*.—A giant deal ha* just been closed here by which the Stone A Weber syndicate of Boston, who are now the owners of the street railway lines in this city, come Into possession of all the river front property oh the Georgia side of the Chattahoochee river from the property ot the Columbus Power company, Just above the city, to the mouth of the Standing Boy creek, a distance of about eight miles.• The same syndicate has also acquired considerable river front proper ty on the Alabama side and while nothing definite as to the plans of the company is known. It Is generally understood that the property will be Improved at once. Rumor has it that the company will build a dam across the river 47 feet high at some point just above the Clapp fac tory property and will erect a power plant which will have a minimum of 16.- 000 and a maximum of 20,000 horse power. This Is seen to be quite a big thing when It Is taken Into consideration that the plant of the Columbus Power company has only a capacity of 8,000 horse power. It 1* said that the power generated at this new plant will 'be used to operate the street car line* In the city as well as the street lights and power for the several Industrie* thjt use electricity, and that a number of new mills will be erected in that locality which will be driven by power furnished from this plant. It ■ls generally expected that this will be to Columbus what the new Bibb Mills on North Highland* ha* been, except that It will be upon a much larger scale. er* and shipper*.
