Still Question at Issue.
There will be a local election it) Jack
son county on Aug. 2 to pass upon the
question as to whether the distillery near
Pendergrass, Ga. (which is the only one
one in that county), shall be permitted
to continue or prohibited from manufac
turing whisky hereafter. Considerable
Interest is being manifested in this elec
tion, but there's no doubt that the Pro
hibitionists will win by a big majority.
Appling** Population.
Baxley Banner: According to the most
reliable information obtainable it is now
believed that the population of thef county
will reach 14.000. As the last census show
ed only about 8.000. it will be readily seen
that the county has nearly doubled in
population in the last decade. The area
of land in cultivation ar.<l the number of
farms have* increased in greater propor
tion even than the population.
Lightning** Freak.
Early County News: Mr. W. A. Cooper,
one of Elmo’s substantial farmers, was an
appreciated culler of the* News last Sat
urday while on business in Blakely. He
informed the News hat during the thun
derstorm last Thui.-day, lightning struck
a bay ree in the yard of his brother. Mr.
T. L. Cooper, living near him. killing five
hogs outright, and his brother received a ;
severe shock, felling him senseless to the j
ground and causing Idm to remain in a
comatose condition several hours. Mr. !
Cooper's many friends will be glad to j
know that he Is rapidly re covering.
Tragedy nt tVoodellff.
A tragic affair occurred at Woodcliff,
near Sylvania, Thursday. Rufus Young
was married only a few days ago, find he
and his wife were visited at their home
Thursday by Henry Bell, who, it is sup
posed, was a disappointed lover of the
bride. Bell had a pistol in da is hand, and j
pretended to be playing with it. poirting
It at Rufus first, and then cudder.U put- j
ting it to the young wife’s head, he pulled
the trigger. The woman fell upon the
floor and died in a short while. The mur
derer fled, but shouted back to the hus
band as he left and asked if he thought
they would hang him for his deed.
For Speaker I’ro Trm.
Butler Herald: Hon. W. E. Steed hav
ing recently been nominated, will no doubt
be elected to represent Taylor county in
the next general assembly of Georgia, and
it would be a compliment worthily bestow
ed if he should be made speaker pro tern,
of that honorable body. He has fought
bravely for the success of De
mocracy and well deserves whatever honor
or success may cOme to him. But few
men of his age or experience have ever
made a brighter record or did more for
the welfare of the state than did Col.
Steed during his short tetm a* senator
of the Twenty-third Senatorial District as
the records will show. We trust his
friends, at the proper time, will sec* to it
that he is honored with this important po
sition.
Bitten by n flnttlennakp.
Madison County Argus: Last Tuesday,
about 11 o’clock, Mr. Berry Shields, n
prominent citizen of the upper part of
the couny, was bitten on the arm by a
rattlesnake, and the reptile stuck his
fangs so deep into the flesh as to be
raised from the ground, and did not re
lax his hold until struck against a tree.
The poison became so deeply implanted
in the blood before any relief could be
obtained that the life of Mr. Shields was
despaired of. Everything possible was
done to relieve the suffering man, who,
In a moment when he least expected it.
was bitten by one of the most poisonous
reptiles that infest our land. Mr. Shields
Is still in a very precarious condition,
but hopes are entertained that he mav
yet recover. His arm is very much swol
len and has turned black.
Tlie Strike In Over.
Darien Gazette: The so-called strike of
the longshoremen is about over and of
course the longshoremen are the greatest
losers. So far about SIO.OCH) In cold cash
has gone out of Darien to foreigners and
others, every dollar of which should have
remained in ourc'ounty. Tho lesson tnught
the strikers has been an expensive one,
to them, but in the long run it will prob
ably be worth the money. We will ven
ture to say that it will be a very long
time before this eedtion is again the scene
of a foolish strike. Our laliorers have had
enough and we feel satisfied that if they
could undo the work of tho past month
they would only be too willing to do so.
The Gazette feels sorry for oil the suffer
er*. but can only say, don’t be foolish any
more.
A Phosphoric* Fire.
Macon Telegraph: Many queer things
have happened to call out Macon's fire
department on false alarms. The queer
est of ail, it was thought, was the one
recently when the fellow set some rags
on fire to smoke out mosquitoes, and
while h* went to Fleep the neighbors
turned in the alarm. But the one which
called the department to the residence of
Dr. Gostin a couple of nights ngo is
equally as unusual. Dr. Qostin’s son,
Bernard, is a student of chemistry, med
icine, etc., and is Quite fond of making
experiments, lie had called in some
friends on the night of the fire depart
ment's run, to show them what all he
could do with phosphorus. None of, the
other members of the family wore at
borne, and as his friends stood nround in
open-eyed wonderment he drew a piece of
the substance from a vessel of water, and
waved it in a kind of “Jack-o’-lantern”
style; the neighbors saw' the light through
the window, and supposed that flames
were consuming the contents of the room.
Consequently, an alarm was turned on,
and the department responded poet haste.

J. N. Whltner of Sanford, member of the
last assembly, is shaking hands with his
friends in different parts of the district.
There may be still other Richmonds in the
field before the senatorial primaries are

A Good Order.
An order has been issued to the police at
Tampa to see that no minors are allowed
to enter a saloon. The saloonkeepers
have been personally notified about this
matter, and the result is going to be a
series of complications. In the Fourth
ward there is always a string of tots to
be seen entering and leaving the saloons,
all carrying the “can” and making the
trip under orders from their parents. It
will be a difficult matter to stop this, and
if one is allowed to enter they are all go
ing to demand the same privilege.

The above gentlemen, whose district is
only as far south as Fernandina, have
now had the Florida East Coast district

badly in this part of the state.
Another shooting affray occurred at Hall

will have to ship the brush North, as
there are no broom factories in this
state.

Spiritualism ala Chlnolse.
F'rom the London Mall.
John Chinaman has the biggest religion
in the world, for he has millions of gods
to worship in the spirits of the counties*
generations of departed Chinese.
This spirit worship at times takes very
absurd forms. Every Chlnatman believes
that If he doe* not worship at the graves
of hi* ancestors he will not succeed in life,
because the sipirlts will get angry at his
neglect. Accordingly, if a wealthy China
man has some big project In view, he man
ufactures all sort of objects in paper,
horses, dogs, and even buildings, which
he places at the graves of his ancestors,
finally setting Are to them with great so
lemnity after a certain period. Much of
the paper that he burn* Is valueless, but
the Chinese do not think that the worth of
the sacrifice Is in any way depreciated,
or that the spirits are more pleased with
burned offerings that have taken a great
deal of trouble to prepare, for the spirits
are supposed to prefer quantity to quality.
One of the most Interesting feature* of
spirit worship is that it Is not done out
of real regard for the dead. The huge pa
per sacrifices are burned simply fo ap
pease the spirit*, who are supposed to be
only too willing to hinder the living in ev
ery possible way. There are good spirits
and evil spirits, and the former are be
seeched to battle wilh the latter.
To a foreigner the huge paper animals
afford endless amusement, but It Is not ad
visable to show It.

ECHOES OF BLUE AND GRAY.
A GOOD EXTHHTAIX MEX’T BI T IT
HAD ITS DEFECTS.
Lack of General Interest In the
Movement Something About the
Old General* XV ho Were Present.
Some of the Absentees Many
'loucliini; Scenes ut the Gathering.
Death of Judgo Robert B. Trippe.
Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla., July
28.—Well, the grand Blue and Grey re
union Is over and Atlanta has scored an
nother “bullseye.” And yet, with all the
good-things- that can be said of the af
fair. it had its serious defects. Atlanta
is a young city, without the old culture
of Macon, Augusta or Savannah, and there
are many things that she must yet learn
before she can become an “up-to-date”
entertainer. Money is not the only thing
needed to give sucJess to such functions.
There was, apparently, a lack of general
interest In the movement, as only a few
buildings, public or private, were decorat
ed. The few distinguished visitors, how
ever. were pretty well looked after, and
evidently had a good time. The camp lire
at the Grand Opera House was the big
gest thing of the kind ever seen in Amer
ica. The body of that immense building,
ground floor to topmost ceiling, was pack
ed, several hundred ladies and a great
many more gentlemen standing during the
entire exercises. The stage was filled with
distinguished soldiers of the Blue and the
Gray, while the private boxes were brill
iant with Atlanta's loveliest ladles.
The oldest-looking and feeblest of the
generals present was Maj. Gen. Samuel G.
French, C. S. A., now of Pensacola, Fla.,
but he was not really the oldest, that
honor going to Lieut. Gen. Alexander P.
Stewart, C. S. A., now of the National
Military Park, at Chickamauga. There
were four old West Pointers in the group
of generals—Stewart, who was a Ten
nesseean, a graduate of 1842 into the ar
tillery, but who resigned in 1545; French
of New' Jersey, who graduated into the
artillery in 1843 as a classmate of Gen.
U. S. Grant, but resigned in 1856; Maj.
Gen. Thomas J. Wood, U. S. A., of Ken
tucky, who graduated into the topograph
ical engineers in 1840, but later on was
transferred to the Dragoons, and is now f
on the retired list; Maj. Gen. Oliver O.
Howard, IT.l T . S. A., of Maine, who gradu
ated in 1854 into the ordnance department,
and is now on the retired list. French is
very feeble; Howard, but for loss of his
right, arm, seems as active as ever, while
Wood, although aged, is socially as live
ly as a cricket, but Stewart, without any
signs of old age, is as quiet and solemn
as an ow 1.
The absence of many general officers
of both armies was quite a surprise,
Gens. Gordon, Stewart and French being
the only Confederates, while Howard,
Wood, Warner and Becklnridge repre
sented the Union soldiers. Maj. Gen.
WiUiard Warner, now of Chattanooga,
was a volunteer officer on Gen. Sher
man's staff, while Maj. Gen. Joseph E.
Breckinridge came into the army from
Kentucky, as a lieutenant, in 1861, and
won several brevets for gallant conduct
In the Atlanta campaigns. He is now
inspector general of the army, and was a
major general of volunteers In the Span
ish-American War. Gen. Albert D. Shaw
and Gen. W. C. Johnson of New York
and Ohio, respectively, are generals only
as cotnmanders-in-chiefs of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the former having
succeeded the latter. Gen. S. G. French,
formerly of Winter Park, and brigade
commander of the United Confederate
Veterans, and Col. S. Herbert Lancey of
Maitland, special aide *to Gen, Shaw, of
the Grand Army of the Republic, were
the only Florida representatives present
on the platform.
Among the abs.ntees who were expected
were that grim old warrior, Maj. Gen. Da
vid S. Stanley, U. S. A.: Brig. Gen. Clem
ent A. Evans, C. S. A.; Tdeut. Gen. John
M. Schofield, U. S. A.: Brig. Gen. M. I.
Dudincton. U.S. A., and Brig. Gen. Jos
eph Wheeler. U. S. A., but formerly C. S.
A. Just now Gen Wheeler Is very busy
getting troop® ready for the China cam
paign and this alone kept him away from
his old comr.ides of Wheeler's Cavalry
Camp, present in command of Col. and
Brevet Brig. Gen. John S. Prather. Hap
pily the old cavalryme.n were given a
rare treat at the studio of Hal Morrison,
the well-knowy artist, where Mrs Minnie
Love Harvey, daughter of the late Dr.
Wm. Abram Love, the eminent Mason,
had Qti exhibition her excellent portrait
of Gen. Wheeler in his Confederate uni
form during the Civil War. Mrs. Harvey
is a gifted artist as well as a charmtng
woman, and the old soldiers, many with
tearful eyes, paid tribute to her excel
lent portraiture of their beloved com
mander.
At the camp Are on Thursday night,
the star speakers introduced by Col. W.
A. Hemphill, the genial presiding officer,
were Gen. John B. Gordon, commander
of the United Confederate Veterans, and
Gen. Albert D. Shaw, commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic, both of
them being greeted with a storm of ap
plause. and made splendid addresses.
These were, however, prefaced by a most
fervent and eloquent prayer by Rev. Dr.
W. W. Landrum, of he First
Church.
The fun of tho evening commenced
when Col. Hemphill, In introducing Gen.
J. C. Breckinridge, said his brother. Col.
W. C. P. Breckinridge, fought on the
Gray side and was captured by the Gen
eral In the campaign. The audi
ence made a vigorous and prolonged
call for the Colonel to come forward and
stand by his brother's side—the Blue and
the Gray, In fact—but he declined, remark
ing that hi* brother was too handsome
a man for him to be matched with. But
when Col. Breckinridge followed his
brother he fairly took the audience “off
Its feet,” or seats, by his thrilling and
graceful oratory. There were many sub
lime sentences that were heartily ap
plauded. and when he proposed to stop,
cries of “go on, go on,” came from all
parts of the house. And the same thing
occurred at the barbecue on the day fol
lowing.
But the winding up was the most inspir
ing of anything in the reunion llneyet
witnessed. Six of the Confederate veterans
came on the stage to sing an original com
position. “We are old-time Confederates
—they are good enough for me." Seated
next to me was Gen. O. O. Howard, who
had made an excellent speech during the
evening, and as the song progressed he
seemed to become deeply enthused, and
when the. singers came to the verse, "Now
our country's united—lt'* good enough for
me.” and then. "We are all now Ameri
cans—That's good enough for me"—a
broad, happy smile spread over the old
warrior's face: but when Capt. "Tip"
Harrison, the leader of the bond, turned
around and. gracefully waving his hand
In our direction, started the last verse:
"We greet you Gen. Howard,
We welcome you, old comrades,
We greet you as friends, sir,
And all who wore the blue"—
the tears cam* Into Howard’s eye and he
eagerly sprang to his feet and grasped
the hard of Capt. Harrison wilh his left
hand (the right was lost In battle) and
gave him a most cordial greeting.
Then followed the singing of *'old
Lang Syne," led by a Scotchman, in
which all on the stage Joined, after which
the Confederate singers circled around
Gen. Shaw, of the G. A. R , and started
up the familiar song "Ch! He * a jolly
good fellow," which creat. and an enthuai
asm *o general and Inspiring that It
formed the climax of the gianejest camp
fire ever held In the South.
The barbecue cf the day following was
another "big thing." and was greatly en
joyed by the old soldiers. As it was pre
pared under the supervision of Harrv
Stockdell. the prince of barbeculsts. the
part was abundant and all
right, as were the speeches. Sam Jones
was at his best, and Gov. Mount, of In
d.ana. whose opeia house speech was
splendid, again captivated his hearers.
Gordon and Shaw* fired the hearts of the
<ll soldiers by their speeches, and Gen.
Willard Warner pour and the oil of reconcil
iation on the troubled waieis, for he be
came reconciled to the thirty years
ago and that ended it with him.
There were many touching scenes grow
ing out of the meeting of the generals
who fought on opposite sides, like Stew
art and Wood and French and Howard.
When I introduced Gen. French to Gen.
Howard the latter was delighted, ar.d in a
cheery voice and with a cordial smile, re
marked. “General, I'm glad to meet you;
1 tried hard in 1864 to meet you and make
your acquaintance up about AUatoona, but
failed.” To this Gen. French replied,
“Well, I wish you had.” Both laughed
heartily and then, with hands still clasped,
they began an interesting talk about their
movements during that memorable cam
paign. Gen. French, it will be remember
ed, commanded the Confederates, ar.d
Gen. John M. Corse, the Union forces, at
the battle of AUatoona. French called oil
Corse to surrender in order to stop the
“needless effusion of blood.” Corse replied,
“Let her effuse”—or words to that effect,
and then turned in and whipped French.
Sherman uignallod Force to hold the fort,
as reinforcements would be gent him. This
gave origin to the familiar song—
“ Hold the fort for I am coming.”
With the closing of the reunion came the
sudden death of the venerable Judge Rob
ert P. Trippe, so long a conspicuous fig
ure in the public affairs of Georgia. My
first acquaintance with him dated back
many years, and was the result of my in
vestigations of the did public records in
regard to votes of thanks and swords
of honor given soldiers by the stare. Af
ter the Mexican War an omnibus resolu
tion was introduced in the Legislature to
give thanks to some and swords to others
—words and swords—of the brave Georgia
officers who had distinguished themselves
in the army and navy in the Mexican
War. Although the resolution was fav
orably reported back by the Military
Committee, on motion of Judge Trippe,
the swords were stricken out and only a
vote of thanks given. Also, the names
of Gen. E. L. Thomas and Gen. George
“Tige” Anderson were added to the list
of officers. My first visit to Judge Trippe
was to ascertain why he made this mo
tion, but he could only say that It must
have been to prevent injustice being done
to any of those heroes. The safest course
seemed to be to treat them all alik--. The
statement that the Judge was the last sur
vivor of the Confederate Congress is not
correct. I think Hon. Hiram P. Bell is
still alive in Georgia and Gen. T. N.
Waul, out in Texas, and Hon. J. L. M.
Curry of Alabama, now' commissioner- of
the Peabody educational fund, and Hon.
John H. Reagan of Texas and Judge
Roger A. Pryor of Virginia.
I refer, of course, to all three of the
Congresses, Mr. Curry, having been in
the provisional end the first Congress.
Col. Hiram P. Bell was in the second Con
gress, end Judge Trippe in the first, which
followed the Provisional Congress. His
associates in the House were Hines Holt,
Augustus R. Wright (of Rome), Lucius
J. Gartrell, William W. Clark, Daniel W.
Lewis, Hardy Strickland, Chas. J. Mun
nerlyn, Julian Hartridge, Porter Ipgranx.
The last named filled the vacant caused
by the resignation of Hines Holt. Other
similar changes occurred in the delega
tion. Porter Ingram was a Vermonter,
but, like Chief Justice Warner, he was
universally popular, and was a delegate
from Columbus, Ga., to the last Consti
tutional Convention. In that body were
four distinguished men—all now dead—
whom we used to call the “Carpetbag”
members for fun. They were Judge Will
iam M. Reese, originally of Pennsylva
nia, Col. William T. Thompson of Ohio,
Col. Porter Ingram of Vermont, end ex-
Congressman Hugh Buchanan of Scot
land. No one in Georgia ever mistrusted
that Judge Reese was of Northern birth,
and the whole, four appeared to be typi
cal Southern gentlemen. Sidney Herbert.
BLOOM'S BEESWAX GAME.
One of llie Humorous Operations of
a Clever Cincinnati Swindler.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
As fine a bunch of criminal records went
through the mails last evening from this
city to St. Louis as ever crept in between
the fly leaves of a yellow back.
The police department of St. Louis Is
determined to make out a strong case
against Charles, alias "Baldy” Bloom of
this city, who Is locked up there awaiting
trial on the charge of grand larceny.
From all appearances they will be suc
cessful and again "Baldy” Bloom will be
filed away for a snug period. Bloom is a
nalive of Cincinnati and hns a brother in
business here who is highly respected and
who has spent thousands of dollars in
trying to keep Charles out of trouble, but
all to no avail. Bloom has served three
term* In the penitentiary and as a mixed
ale manipulator, he possessed a genius all
his own. He is an original thief In a way,
and in the realm of criminology is a rec
ognized buffoon. One of Bloom's thefts
would make a monkey laugh. He Is the
humorist premier in his Held and may
never have an equal along the same line
in the days which are to come.
Bloom's beeswax game is a tilting sam
ple of the clever work for which he is
celebrated. It was with the beeswax trick
he first attracted public attention. One
day the Merrill Chemical Company of this
city was aroused by a violent ring at Us
telephone.
''Hello!”
"Is that the Merrill Chemical Compa
ny?”
'‘Yes.”
“How much beeswax have you got on
hand?”
"Twelve hundred pounds.”
“What are you holding it at?”
Then followed a lot of jockeying about
the price. Finally the matter was set
tled and the beeswax was purchased by
the voice at the telephone, who represent
ed itself to be a certain other company
with good credit. Then the voice said
that It would send around Its wagon and
get the beeswax, and It did. The cargo
of stuff was loaded up and a bill rendered
the company supposed to have ordered It,
but it was Bloom who got wax and
had his expressman haul It to nn out-of
the-way place. He then. In this particu
lar case, called up Jansen, the Vine street
groceryman, and offered him tho beeswax
at a great reduction, and Jansen took the
wax and paid Bloom the money for the
same. Having planted the wax and re
ceived the money for It an ordinary thief
would have been satisfied, but not so with
Bloom. A day offer that Jansen hqs
trouble with his telephone and hears a
welcome voice whispertrig seductive sen
tences at the other end.
"This ie the So-and-So Company."
• "Yes. well?"
"We are in need of about 1,600 pounds
of beeswax and can find only 300 in the
city. Have you any wax or can you tell
me where to fill an order to-day?"
"Why. yes; I have 1,200 pounds, but I
don't dre to part with itj' until at last
Jansen was offered on advance on bees
wax that stnrtled him and a few minute*

and carried away the wax.
Tills was only the beginning of the
beeswax deal, for when the wax got start
ed it waxed warm in Its desire for travel
under the management of Bloom, who
kept It on the warpath, with every sale
a clean profit, until Chief Deltseb each
day had a turbulent delegation of angry
grocers end men In other branches of busi

hours with beeswax stories that slmcst

of detectives were spraining their ankles
running around town trying to find out

circumventing wax. As manager of a
gang of globe-trotter* Bloom would have

downward tendency In the turpentine mar

ness factors displayed In holding out to
day for higher prices. The opening at
the Board of Trade was firm at 41 bid.
and the closing firm at 41*4 bid,but without
any sales reported at either call. Thee
prices did not satisfy factors, who showed
the usual hesitancy when buyers are bid
ding the price up. It's the same as it Is
in an auction sale—the trade waits for tjie
first, second and third calls, and makes
sure there are no higher bids to come be
fore stuff is knocked down to buyers. With
several buyers in the market the chance
Is the price may be run up considerazly
before a trading basis is reached. The
rosin market was firm and unchanged,
with fair volume of business reported.
The coi ton market closed quiet and un
changed, with reported sales of 31 bales.
The first bale of the season of 1900-1901 was
officially received. It was sold for 12
cents a pound. The wholesale markets
were steady. The early closing rule was
observed, and the naval stores, cotton,
and other leading branches closed at 2
o'clock. The following resume of the
different markets will show the tone and

COTTON FUTURES.
Tlic market Closes Quiet With Price*
Xet 5 to 7 Lower.
N w York. July 28 —The market for cot
ton futures opened quiet and easy with
prices 5 to 6 p-ints lower and displayed
a feeble undertone throughout the fore
noon under light flurries of general sell
ing and an abstnee of anything like sub
slan ial speculative support. There was a
futther decline soon after the opening,
but this was later recovered on profit
taking by room shorts a’s a matter of pre
caution in view of the over-Sunday ad
journment'at hand.
The Chronicle's weekly crop review
proved even better than anticipated, the
English cables noted irr< guiarity in Liver
pool, and a predominance of bear specu
lation. and the government weather map
was oil that could he desired. Spat mar
kets were dud and easier. The Southern
speculative contingent sold the October,
and later months. Liverpool unloaded Au
gust holdings, room scalpers worked on
the short side and the regulation room
trade showed an inclination to sell Decem
ber and January cotton. Receipts at the
ports gave no sign of narrowing. Export
clearance* exhibit a broadening tendency
with Liverpool, the chief port of destina
tion.
The market for futures closed quiet with
prices net 6 to 7 points lower.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York. July 28.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Cotton in Liverpool l-32d higher on 6pots
(middling, 5 25-32d). Sales very small, only
2,000 bales. Futures opened 1 to 2-64d low
er and closed 2 to 3-64d under yesterday’s
close. The Chronicle's advices for the
past week are generally satisfactory. Rains
were had where needed and as a conse
quence further improvement in the crop
is noted. In view of our market closing
higher yesterday than the previous day,
the decline in Liverpool and* favorable
crop news caused a lower range of values
here at the opening,as some longs were in
duced to sell on account Chronicle’s fav
orite report. The buying was scat
tering by Liverpool and shorts.
To-day is the first dog day and pre
dictions for thirty days’ rainfall is heard
from several sections. Albany, Ga., re
ports (first Bale new cbtton for that sec
tion.
New York, July 28.—Hubbard Bros. &
Cos. say: Crop accounts are of such a
brilliant character that Liverpool could
not hold the advance of yesterday in the
absence of demand from Lancashire, or
speculation for an improvement of values.
Trade outlook in the East does not favor
an immediate revival in business, thus the
limited supply in cotton has a little ef
fect on the minds of spinners. Our mar
ket has been a slow one closing quiet at
a decline of six to seven points. New
cotton appeared in Georgia yesterday, and
seems likely now to come in more or lees
large quantities each day.
DRY GOODS.
New York. July 28.—The market for
dry goods retains its slightly firmer tone
though no radical increase in business js
reported. The reduction in bleached co:-
tons has helped to make nn increased
yardage, while it> brown goods ere slight
ly better, some makers having practically
withdrawn from the market. The curtail
ment at Fall River has been a bulliwh
factor, which is likely to be of increasing
importance. The opening of light weight
woolens is awaited with interest by the
trade.
Naval stores.
Saturday, July 28.
Spirits Turpentine.—Factors assumed a
stubborn attitude as to the selling of tur
pentine to-day, and the closing found
them holding out to carry their point in
■the fight to check the downward tendency
of the market and establish higher prices.
The opening was firm at 41c bid, and the
closing firm at 41%c bid, but with no
transactions reported at either call. Fac
tors are looking for better prices, and ap
parently do not intend to part with stuff
until they are able to do so at prices con
siderably above what have been com
manded during the past few days. Un
less there is an undue accumulation,
therefore, continued hesitation may be
expected until buyers decide to pay the
asked price. The day’s receipts were 1,823,
sales none and the exports 418.
Rosins—The rosin market closed firm
and unchanged to-day, with a fair de
mand for the offerings. There were open
ing sales of 716 barrels reported at the
Board of Trade, which constituted the of
ficial business for the day. The early
closing rule was observed, all factors and
buyers closing shop at 2 o’clock. The
day's receipts were 2,945, soles 716 and the
exports 5,953. The quotations were as fol

the Circle,
New York. July 28.—There was almost
nothing in- the day’s stock mark* m in
terest anyone outside of the small cir
cle of professional operators in stocks,
who conducted all the business. Prices
advanced in the first hour and de 'lined
after the appearance of an un* >: >. :ed!y
strong bank statement. Small mi losses
are the rule as a consequence. A fea
ture was the drop of 3 points in Sugar,
after an opening advance of 3 *.
The reason assigned was a rumor of a
istrike in one of the company’s refineries.
The rumor was denied without mate
rially strengthening the stock. Selling -
orders to stop losses on the long sl.i
were uncovered et the decline, and tho
raid on the stock was doubtless mode wiui
the purpose of dislodging these orders.
The bears were content to take their
profits and the stock quieted down.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was bid up on
continued rumors of a good annual re
port, and Burlington was bought on the
belief that the June report would show not
earnings that would compare favorably
with those of other roads. The selling
after the bank statement seemed to }*a
realizing, and was based on the supposi
tion that shorts would cover on the good
bank statement. But there did not seem
to be any shorts, and the market sagged
off to the low point of the morning. Tho
closing was heavy.
As the additional deposits in the banks
were largely cash, the surplus reserves
benefited to the substantial extent of
$3,454,075. The field of the lean expansion
is not very clear. Certainly new loans
did not find their way into stock market
operations. The increase of over a mill
ion in the outstanding circulation of the
banks is due to the completion of the
plates for printing notes in Washington.
w r ork on which has delayed the issuing
of notes already applied for by the banks.
A recovery in sterling exchange in Pat's
to the high point of tho week, and a
sharp rise in Berlin discounts, were the
features of the day bearing on the ques
tion of gold exports nexc week.
The dullness of the bond market is an
evidence of the present caution of cap
ital. The usual reinvestment of July
dividends and interest, although the larg
est amount disbursed this year in the
country’s history, has been entirely lack
ing in the bond market. London aid
Berlin are reported heavy sellers of high
grade American railroad bonds; but no
such transactions have been recorded on
the Stock Exchange.
