GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Sept. 8.—The half holiday ses
sion and the government report expectan
cy formed a combination in opposition to
efforts at bunine-s In the grain markets
toduy that was difficult to overcome. No
very great endeavors to trade were made,
however, the crowd being satisfied to
close up their deals for the week and
await future developments. At the be.
ginning of the trading prices were fairly
steady.
An easier feeling took possession of the
market shortly after the opening, but
It was supplanted later by llrmnesn. ac
companied by a rally to prices of yester
day, corn receiving the credit for the
Improvement. December wheat opened at
l»7; sold up to 57H; closing at 57*4—a net
gain of yesterday of HaVi cents. Cafch
wheat was quiet and steady.
Corn—Tlie crowd was a little too positive
in their views yesterday, putting out a
little too much short corn, and at the
opening today was about to follow the
name tactics, but found that the demand
was fully capable of absorbing all offer*
Inga. This led to a complete turn in th*
sentiment and with everybody waiting to
buy, the usual outcome was seen. Prceis
advanced firmly and at the close was al
most ?! ton point. May corn opened
from f>5 to 54%; advance*! to 55%: closing
nt 55%—3%a%c. higher than yesterday.
Cash com was steady, trading being at
unchanged prices, with the close nomj.
nully firmer.
The opening In oats was easy and the
the close firm. The trade was of uti in
consequential character, with the tone
merely responsive to that of the other
markets. May oats closed %a%c. higher
than yesterday. Cash oats wero eteady
with prices unchanged.
Packers were the best buyers of provis
ions around the opening today, some of
the purchases being set down to Armour.
Later the support was withdrawn and
offerings, although moderate, nevertheless
pressed on the market, causing some de
cline. The hog market was an item of
strength early, but Its effect wore off be
fore the close, which was 5 cents higher
than yesterday; for January pork and
ribs, and 7% cents higher for January
lard.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

The Little City Is Beginning to Hustle for
Fall Trade.
Fort Valley, Sept. 8.-(Special.)—^This
week h*oa been comparatively a busy week
In and around Fort Valley. The farmers
have been picking and ginning their cot
ton, the merchants dealing out supplies,
the repair shops mending the different
kinds of Implements, the variety works,
foundry, gin factory and crate factory
•:h!pri?'Z »h«4r vnmu* wares in every di
rection. the warehouses handling the cot
ton, the buyers, shipping It off, in fact
every line of business has been filled and
everyone was busy, evidencing the fact
that hard times have left us and that we
are on the road to prosperity. Fort Val
ley Is one of the best railroad centres in
the state and with her full system of
waterworks, splendid schools. good
churches, fine climate, her people with
unsurpassed hospitality, her merchants
live and progressive, her manufacturers
wide awake and her people generally en
ergetic and hard working, she Is des
tined ere long to become a city of Impor
tance.
Our people are already looking out and
making plans tor the whipping of the Im
mense crop of peaches that we will be
favored with next season. With the im
mense number of trees that are now old
enough to bear fruit, thousands of trees
will be In bearing next year. The first
crop of this year, ns estimated, would
have been worth half a million dollars,
and with the Increasing number of bear
ing trees next year’s crop. If not killed by
the frost, will exceed a million dollars.
Coming as it does at a time oT the year
when money Is most needed 4 thrill be a
God-send to our people. One not knowing
anything about the peach industry around
Fort Valley, and the magnitude of .he
business, can’t imagine how much .'work
Is required to gatlmr a full crop. The
feigns are all favorable now and all look
forward with bright anticipations.
