There is no rushing activity in any
branch Of the feed and supply traffic
at the present time. A fair demand
rules for corn and the tone is firm.
Oats are quiet, with liberal shipments
under way for this market and bran
and hay are :sbout as heretofore. A
lot Of 26l bales choice timothy grown
on the banks of White river, west Of
here, arrived yesterday and sold in
divided parcels at SIS per ton. The
feeling for Southern prairie hayisrath-
er tame, and prices evince no disposition
to advance. The value Of meats is
unchanged and -four is in the same
condition, while cornmeal is weak.
The chicken supply has been liberal
for two days past and values are
cheaper than on the first two days of
the weak. Eggs are scarce and firm
with higher figures ruling. The feel
ing in potatoes, cabbage and apples is
strong and a good jobbing demand

Mormon elders are still popping up
in all portions OF Georgia, particularly
in the northern and mountainous
districts, and attempting to secure
converts. IL was 10 Georgia, it will
be remembered, that quite serious
troubles occurred with the Mormon
emissaries some years ago when a
number OF them were attacked by the
indignant people and very roughly
handled. Nor does the anti. Mormon
feeling seem to be any less to day.
The appearance Of a number of
Saints" in UOweta county last week
was the signal for quite severe disturb.
anoes there. The Saints" were
pelted with eggs, and as their audience
grew more and more threatening and
violent, they became alarmed over
the situation, and, grabbing their
carpet bags, darted out of
the church door pursued blythe entire
crowd present. The elders were feet
OF foot, however, and escaped, although
several hounds we're sent out after
them The hounds followed the trail
for several miles, but finally lost it, and
so the Mormons escaped, making for
the West
This about represents public senti
ment in some parts OF Georgia on this
subject, and there are not a few per-
sons in the State who advocate the use
OF the shot gun for the Mormon con-
verters as freely as if they were seduc.
ers or ravisbers.
Evidently the Saints have little to
hope for in the South; and with such
experience as they have met with in
Georgia and North Carolina, they will
probably conclude their best policy is
to seek converts elsewhere.

BRIGANDAGE IN TURKEY.
Unsafe Condition Oftke Country
About SalOniea and Adm.

The latest exploit of brigandage
near SalOnica, according to the Con.
stantinople correspondent Of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph, has caused con-
%sternation at the palace and Porte.
So long as the brigands confined
themselves to plundering and carrying
off foreigners or small farmers the
authorities hardly chose to interfere.
and seemed to have regarded them
only as levying backsheesh in a slight
ly irregular manner When, however.
they catch Mehmet Pasha, a General
of brigade, his brothorNin law, and a
wealthy local merchant of Salonica,
the case is regarded as more serious.
There has been always a strong i'm
preston that there was some kind of
an understanding between pursuers
and pursued. Some Of the watches
which were sent to the capturers of
Colonel King were worn by Turkish
employees not long after they had been
delivered to the brigands. After the
capture of Colonel Synge Saith Pasha
was sent to SalOnioa. A thorough
soldier and an honest man, he
buckled TO the job with resolution and
skill, and in a series Of ably planned
and vigorously executed operations
dispersed most Of the bands and filed
the prisons Of Salonica with brigands.
II will hardly be believed that not a
single n was brought to the gallows.
and that many OF them we're allowes
to go out on bail, a washerwoman's
son becoming surety for several dozen.
The few who were killed died resist
ing the troops, and of those who sur
rendered a majority appear to have es
capped without even nominal punish,
ments. Salih's exertions were almost
thrown away. He was thwarted at
each step by the provincial authors
ties and finally recalled to CONSTANT
nople. Almost before his back was
turned Nike and the other chiefs col
lected fresh followers, and resumed
their interrupted occupation.
GUESTS OF THE FARMERS.
The vilayet of Alden Is nearly as
badly off as Salonioa. At Smyrna, its
capital, a few years ago-perhaps the
system still h%ourishes-a regular
agreement existed between certain
nOtables Of the land and some Of the
brigands. The thieves labored on the
large farms Of some of the influential
Turks during the winter months with.
out wages, in return for a distinct un.
