evening, Chicago gas being up IL Louisville
and Nashville and the Others generally from
II to 9g per cent The opening prices. how
ever, were seldom exceeded and the market
sagged away, though only for small fractions.
New England was an exception to the general
list and after opening down half per cent at

really weak point in the market was sugar and
Tennessee coal, the former dropping from 6s
to 6is<, with only slight reaction, aud the
latter from SO 10 55. rallying 10 81. Even the

The Russians as Eaters.

The Russians eat on an average once every
two hours. The climate and custom re-
quires such frequent meals, the digestion OF
which is aided by frequent drauShts OF
vodki and tea. Vodki is the Russian whisky
ana made from potatoes and rye. 1t is
fiery and colorless, and favored with some
extract like vanilla or orange 1t is drunk
from small cups that hold, perhaps, half a
gill. Vodki and tea are inseparable accom-
paniments of friendly, as well as of bust
ness intercourse in the country of tho czsr.
Drunken men are rare. Russia and Sweden
are the only countries in which the double
dinners is the rule. When yon go to the
house of a Russian, be he a friend or a
stranger, you are at once invited to side
table, where salted meats, picked eel, salted
cucumbers, and many other spicy and
appetizing viands are urged upon you with
an impressiveness that knows no refusal
This repast is washed down with frequent
cups of vodki. That over, and when the
visitor feels as If he had eaten enough for
twenty-four hours, the host says: "And
now for dinner"

FARMERS DESPONDMNT.
Bad Weather and Scarcity or Labo
Causing Heavy Loss

Bad Weather and Scarcity or Labor
Causing Heavy Loss.
Fort VALLEY, Oct 9.-The farmers of
this entire section are very much depressed,
owing to the continued rain, which is dam
aging the cotton crop very seriously. There
are thousands of acres in this county which
have not had a bale picked from them. ow-
ing to the scarcity of labor and continued
rams The effects are very damaging to
trade, which is at a perfect stand-still here.
Cotton is sprouting in the bolls, and large
per cent of it will be lost entirely, to say
nothing about the bad weather lowering the
classification one or two grades, all of which
will cause the farmers heavy loss. Collec-
tions, too, are very much affected by the
weather, and they are practically at stand
still now. Merchants who have notes to
meet Nov are in grave doubts about their
ability to do so.
Labor of all kinds is very scarce through
out the county. and the price Of picking
cotton has advanced fully IS per cent. since
the opening of the season.
Great fears are entertained by our bust
ness men from the final effects of the heavy
and continued rains.
