McCullough Bros. Fruit and Produce
Letter.
Atlanta. August 6.—The Georgia peach
crop, especially the Elberta and better
varieties, are playing out very fast, ami
the receipts in our market for the past
few days having been light, although it
seems to have made no material difference
in the price obtained for them. For the
next month or so Atlanta will look to Mis
souri and Kentucky for her peaches; after
that California. As a yvhole tin. Georgia
peach crop has netted hut little money
to the growers and jobbers, as the price
obtained has been so very low on ac
count of the tremendous supply.
Watermelons seem to have flooded the
market, as usual at this season of the
year, and many cars are being rejected on
account of not bringing freight charges.
Apples are stllj coming in in a. local way,
but tile quality is very Inferior and the
price obtained for them is very’ low.
Bananas hold their own at former prices
with no change whatever. Demand on the
Atlanta market is light with small re
ceipts.
Lemons harm advanced, and indications
point to much higher prices, caused by
light, receipts at points of importation.
Limes aro selling slow at 75c per hun
dred.
Cantaloupes are little or no sale at any
Irish potatoes are polling slow, with the
market is being well supplied, with prices
ruling very low.
Onions are scarcely any sale at all at
75c to 80c per bushel, and the demand, it
seems, is no good.
Cabbage aro slow sale at moderate
prices, receipts being light with demand
in proportion.
Poultry is bringing some bettor prices
than last yveek. However, the market has
boon well supplied and the demand has not
been equal to the receipts. Prices obtain
ed for poultry' of all kinds is the same
as quoted.
Eggs are in light demand at 10c per
dozen.
Comb honey is 1n fair demand at 9c to
19c per pound; strained 6c to 7c. All re
ceipts are being sold readily' at these
prices.
Should the weather rlear up wo look for
business to l-o much better in th-’ line of
fruit and produce within the next eight
or ten days.
Bradtreet’s Review.
New York, August s—Bradstreet’s to

"The stimulating fniluen 'es of the appn

th" per • piibli' growth in strength of th--
Ir.’H ,11.1 steel situation. I ’irmn -ss in

in view of the enormous production ot

Chicago, August 6. Scarcity of receipts

lost lie. Pork, lard and ribs unchanged.
Wheat started very strong, September
opening from 67% to 68e, against 67 1 / i@67%c
last night's close. There was no appear
ance of any increase in the movement of
wheat and Liv- rpool sent higher quotations.
Showery weather in the northwest gave the
bulls a further opportunity, as th-' trade
under present conditions was nervous about
the possibilities of a wet harvest in that
section. The demand for th-' limited offer
ings in tho sample market was most active
and at from 2 to 3e over the previous day.
Orders for round lots for shipment w- re on
the market at a slight premium over the

WENT DOWN AN EMBANKMENT.
Several Persons Hurt in Railroad Ac
cident Near Birmingham.
Birmingham. Ala.. August 3,-(S P 'clal)-
While going at the. rate of
mib's :m hour this morning, th-- Hlocton
. icc , >in mod;ition train, on th- Birmingham
Mimral railroad, was wrecked at Me-
Adoory'.s switch, fifteen miles south ot
Birmingham. The train was coming into
th-' City and titer.' were one hundred people
„ board As the train turned a curve at
that point the tender of the engine was
d-'raih'd an-l it caused the baggage ear
ami th-' first and second class coaches to
derail ami turn over down a 20-foot em
bankment.
W F. T-'gner. aged sixty-eight years,
who was returning from Brookwood with
bis wil'-'. -I.umb.ler ami son-in-law, was
fatally hurt. His wife and daughter were
also h'urt.
Mr. Ja-kson. g-neral manager of -ho
Standard t’oal Company, at Brookwood,
was cut on the head.
I.lew-ibti W. .1. Jons, superintendent of
the Belle Ellen mines,- was hurt al,out the
shoulders.
Allie Walker, a colored girl, was cut
about the head.
Fifteen other passengers on the train
were more or less Injured. The wreck was
one of the worst that has occurred In
months and the passengers had miraculous
escapes.
Conductor Robert Rutherford, Engineer
Long and the crew escaped without a
scratch.
THE TOTAL COTTON CROP.
Time Is Growing Short for The Con
stitution's Contest for Cash
Prizes.
The latest figures we have been able
to obtain on the - rop. which are for crop
In sight through Friday, August sth, are
10,069.630.
This leaves three full weeks and almost
another to figure -in. East week the crop
brought Into sight from all sources con
sisted <>f 38,649 bales. For July and Au
gust. 1897, there were 193,603 bales mar
keted. The August receipts of new cot
ton last year were 84,030 bales.
Latham, Alexander & Co., of New York,
tlie firm that is to furnish tlx- ottb ial fig
ures of the cotton crop of tin- season 1897-
98, in answer to several inquiries upon the
subject, writes to u., as follows:
"The cotton crop of 1897-98 consists ac
cording t.i all authorities, of every bale ot
cotton that is marketed between th-' Ist ot
September, 1897, and the Ist of September,
1898.’’
That means from the beginning of busi
ness September 1, 1897, and the close of
business August 31. IS9B.
Continuing, they say:
•'The way the total crop Is counted Is
by adding the receipts at the ports, the re
ceipts at the interior towns, the consump
tion at the southern mills and what is call
ed the overland movement; namely, that
cotton which i; shipped from tho south to
New England mills and to Canada by ra-l.
"You see from this that whatever c-itton
may hav- been left over from th.- previous
crop probably figures in the current * top,
ami also whatever amount of th" m-w
-rop that may go Into market to Septi-m
--ber I'd will also be -'o-inti-i! in tin- crop ol
1597-98. This is as fully as we can explain
the matter.”
In preparing your estimate on the total
crop theri are nisi y points to be -•-nsl b r
ed, as in-li.'.'it--I above. The information
w.' hav.' t: V. n is from th" l-«'St s -nri-'S ob
tainable and we have given all that v ill

dition of the r-.a-is, the farm help, th.- ar.-

TENNESSEE VETERANS
WERE WELL PLEASED
Declare Atlanta Reunion tho Most
Pleasant Ever Attended.
WELL TREATED AT REUNION
A Large Number of the Members of
Camp Forrest Attended the
Reunion.
The confederate veterans of the N. B.
Forr-.st camp, cf Chattanooga, Tenn.,
many of whom attended the big re
union recently held in Atlanta, met a few
-lays ago and passed resolutions compli
menting Atlanta on the manner in which
the veterans were cared for and praising
the hospitality of her homes.
Tlie report adopted bj- the camp declares
the Atlanta reunion to be the mo t suc
cessful and pleaaant of any ever held. Jt
recalls the receptions ami entertainments
given to the Tennesseeans while they were
in tilie city at the homes of prominent cit
izens, and says that the courtesies ex
tended them throughout the visit were
unprecedented.
Tennessee's, delegation to the reunion was
probably the largest of any next to that of
Georgia, and In the parade the. veterans
from that state made a splend’d showing.
Most of the men of the N. 11. Forres - amp
were stationed at the quarters provi-led
for the veterans at Piedmont park, and can
speak from actual Itnoivvle-ige of t'ne way
in which they were tri'ated by Dr. Amos
Fox and his corps of assistants, who were
in charge of the quartet's.
During the reunion the N. B. Forrest
camp hail Its headquarters in th- Brown
building, where apartments were tendered
with every convenience lre e oi' charge.
From every direction come the praises
of the veterans for the hospitality of At
lanta. tlie remembrance of which has
l-een carried home to - very state in the
south. The following is the of the
committee appointed from the N. B. For
rest camp to represent the camp at the re
