There has been an ex ceedingly good cash business here, the sales being placed as high as 100,000 bnsbels, a portion of which was for direct export in addition to this.

Corn has been rather heavy, suffering a loss of % cents per bushel on free selling by elevator peo ple. The excessive receipts of hogs brought numerous selling orders in provisions and caused a weak and lower opening. The reaction which followed was due to some buying on part of packers.

The Latest Particulars in the Contest Among the Naval Reserves. Both the Brunswick and Savannah Naval Reserves have sent to head quarters notices of contest of the re cent battalion election, and the decis ion rests with the governor, who will probably hear further from each of the contestants before making a de cion. Lieutenant Colding, who is at the head of the Reserves in Savannah, has written at length to the governor, claiming that he had special orders from the adjutant general for each step that be took in the organization and election of officers of the third di vision. He claims that-while Ensign H. F. dußignon’s commission is dated February 8,1897, there was no vacancy until March 1897, and that, conse quently, this officer had no right to vote. This would reduce the vote for the Brunswick officers to 7, and the Savannah men would be elected. Brunswick claims that the four offi cers of Savannah’s third division were illegally elected, thus reducing the vote of that city to 4. The fight has aroused a great deal of interest and the result will be anx iously awaited. Ex Lieutenant J. G.
