HOG PRICES HIGH IN ATLANTA MARKET ATLANTA, Aug. 2. —The month ly review of the Atlanta Live Stock market, just issued, says hog prices here staged a spectacular advance starting after the July Fourth holi day and rising steadily to the end of the month. Few hogs from this section were available, but there was a noticeable improvement in the demand for stocker pigs and pig gy sows from Georgia farmers seek ing means to market their bumper feed crops. Hogs at all markets were of very poor quality and not suited for making export cuts. Despite the July first surplus lard accumulation, lard trading was ac tive throughout the month. Prices ranged upward with a considerable volume moving to Europe on con signment. Hedging sales on lard and the speculative trading usually found on rising markets, accounted for much of the July activity in lard. More nearly normal conditions were registered in the local market and the beef trade was not laboring under the handicap of so much cheap western beef. Cattle prices held fairly steady throughout the month with an upward trend toward the close. Producers marketing southern grass cattle have found ready buy ers at profitable prices. Some splendid grass steers from Georgia moved out to eastern killers at good prices. Receipts of Alabama and Mississippi cattle, from a territory new to this market, stimulated the interest of buyers for both killers find feeders. SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

GALLUDET COLLEGE WAS CHARTERED BY LINCOLN WASHINGTON, August 2.—The Columbia Institution of the Deaf, more commonly known as Gallaudet College, of this city, is described by its officials as the only school of its kind in the world which provides higher education for the deaf and the only institution in which a deaf child, with no formal education what ever, may enter and in the course of years be graduated with a well rounded education and a collegiate degree. The school was founded by Ainos Kendall, a distinguished statesman ,of his time, who in 1856 donated a house and three acres of land from his estate in northeast Washington, and employed Edward Miner Gallau det, of Hartford, Conn., as principal. A year later an act of incorporation of the school was obtained from Congress through the efforts of Mr. Kendall and his friends, and from the beginning it was provided that the government give financial assistance to the school. President Lincoln on April 8, 1864, signed an act giving the school the power to grant collegiate degrees.
