SOUTH BOsTON. Va, January 11.-Our
market opened the first Of the week, and
breaks have been good at all the ware
houses every day until to-day (being satur-
day) there was none on the market.
The breaks during the week have shown
up some very fine wrappers. which sold
high. as several of our most enterprisii <
BUYERS seem anxious for them. The trust
so far seems 10 have lad no
effect on cutters, and they are all taken up
at good figures. The impression with some
rs that half of the crop has been sold, but j
am Of the opinion that not quite that much
has been marketed, and l am also very
clearly Of the opinion that this is a very
short crop. and with seasonable weather
and the present high prices the bulk Of the
crop will be sold by April 10Th.

NEW YORK, January 13.-We had a
more natural market to-day. The coal
stocks dropped OF, and 81. PAU,
Missouri Pacific. Northern Pacific, Or
Trans. Richmond Terminal and other
stocks were weak, while Reading bonds
struck still lower prices. Mr.. Corbin was
reelected president of Reading, and II was
clearly shown by the annual report that 1t
would have been crime 10 pay any IN
terest on any Reading incomes. In our
Judgment the high prices Of the coalers are
Inc most serious menace to the market at
present. and the stocks are liable at any
time 10 precipitate a sharp decline. For
tbaf reason any continued bull market
seems 10 be out Of the question. The presi-
dents of Western roads meet here to-mor-
row. and il is said will make a clearing
house agreement in place Of the famous
nresidents' agreement. Money was shade
more active to-day, but still was IN ialr
snpplv. We look for an inactive, irregular
market for time.

Messrs. c. W. BONNER q Co. have opened
i'm addition to their Richmond house a fac
tory in Farmyille, Va, for the purpose Of
buying and rehandling leaf tobacco on
order.
Mr.. BONNER, who has just returned from
Farmyille. states that the receipts OF to
baccOs ON that market last week were very
large but the quality undesirable. The
sner grades are of rather thin leaf and rcd
/ dish color. There is a scarcity Of long,
dark brown heayy-bOdied tObaccOs suitable
/ for shipping purposes. All grades are in
active demand at about - per cent. adj
vance over last years quotations. Owing
% the satisfactory prices being paid, and
| the fine weather for farming, he fears the
farmers will prepare for a large crop.
Ii is noticeable that the tobacco IS not
fired az i'm former years, and although this
is probably appreciated by our home manu-
! facturers. il will undoubtedly be the cause
Of much tobacco becoming moldy and
worthless.
The highest price thus far obtained was
! $1462l5 on last Saturday.

One OF the features OF this town is a
sad cycd man who wanders along the
big thoroughfares with two dogs on a
string. 1t is supposed that lac is DESTROYS
Of selling the bruies, but he never raises
his voice, and when he stands for min
ute or two on the curb the dogs get as
near him as possible, and, crouchlng
down, blink demurcly at the public.
They are both small dogs, but one Is a
little bigger than the other, and he is
more noticeable because several inches
Of his tail have been cut off, He IS a
solemn looking canine, with q coat the
color of brown sugar. The other dog
has q woolly coat and a little stub Of a
tail that is always twitching in nervous
manner. There is nothing about the
brutes to indicate any special breed, and
no one would suppose that they are any
thing more than just dogs. They're not.

Taking England all over, it may be es-
timated that the average supply Of water
per head afforded by the various water
works is between thirty and thirty-three
gallons. Probably about one-iifth Of
that quantity is used for trade purposes,
leaving from twenty-four 70 twenty-siS
gallons per head daily for domestic use.
This seems a large amount, and there Is
no doubt that at least half Of it is ALSO
lutely wasted. Considering that the
price Of water comes to something like
f25 per million gallons. it will be seen
that saving Of $500 gallons or so per
head every year would represent a con.
siderable amount Of money. The total
sum thrown away on account Of this
waste must amount to nearly million
and a quarter sterling annually.-New

INTERESTING RELICS.

An Old Watch and Gun Found at the
Bottom of Merrimac River.
A rusty musket and an ancient silver
watch were found at the bottom of tho
Merrimac river a few days ago which
suggest an interesting history. The
musket was broken at the grip and
otherwise showed marks of damage.
The hammer was down and there was
no bulset inside. The watch is the more
interesting relic of the two; it's exterior
and interior are finely engraved, but
only the latter can be seen, as the action
of the water has worn away most of the
outer engraving. 1t is hunting scene
showing an Indian on snowshoes armed
with knife and a Ratchet awaiting the
charge of a moose that has turned at
bay. The inside of the outer case bears
this inscription: presented to Joshua
Armstrong on his twenty-first birthday
by his loving mother, Prudence Arm
strong, April 10, 1920" The inscription
of the maker is as follows: John
Bowles, Astrologer to his Majesty, 1893
Threadneedle street, London The
discovery has given rise to many specu-
lations; it is possible the place was the
scene of a tragedy, as it was famous
stamping-ground of the Indians, and is
near where they buried their dead and
the squaws cultivated maize. The dates
show that the watch might have been
on the spot when the Indians held the
land, and the action of the water upon
it indicates that it has laid at the bot
tom of the river for many generations

Directions for Dyspeptics Laid Down by
an English Specialist.
I am told that the most remarkable
physician in England at the present
time lives in birmingham. He is not
yet forty years of age-I can not recall
his name at this moment. What inter-
ested me in the talk had about him
was the circumstance that he violates
many of the customs of life. For exam
pie, he dimes at 7:3O every evening, and
at nine o'clock he goes to bed. At two
o'clock in the morning he rises, reads
for two hours and writes for three
hours. At seven o'clock ne eats light
breakfast, and then goes to bed again,
rising at eleven. The hours devoted to
the practice Of his profession are tn ere
fore, with few exceptions, between
noon and seven p. m. The amount and
the quality of work done by this man
are said to be simply wonderful, and in
five years he has risen to foremost
place in the medical profession.
I can not forbear giving for the bene-
fit of your dyspeptic readers few rules
that are laid down by English physi-
clans for the observance of those who
suffer from acute Indigestion:
l. Do not eat beef; it is too hearty
for the average dyspeptic. Eat the lean
of mutton (boiled perfectly.)
9. Bacon in small quantities may be
eaten; also thin slices of aerated bread
fried in bacon fat; also boiled pigs feet
and tripe, and the fish not known as
oily fish.
3. Eat no fruit OF vegetables par
take sparingly of baked potato, rice and
boiled peas.
4. Bread may be eaten (aerated bread
preferred) in thin slices toasted till
they are brittle.
5. The brown meat of fowl may be
eaten. Avoid all gravies and sauces.
6. Abstain from all liquors, and drink
no tea, unless it be fresh made.
Z. Eat no eggs, except fresh raw, we'll
whipped. Sugars should be avoided.
8. Drink no iced water; partake freely
of hot water and hot milk mot boiled).
9. Lie down for twenty minutes after
each meal.-Eugene Field in Chicago

Going for william Toll.

If they are going to take the William
Tell story out of the Swiss school books,
they will have to yank the Tell armol
and cross-bow out of the Berne Museum.
And perhaps the Tell Chapel on the
Lake of the Four Cantons, built on the
spot where he 1eaped from the boat and
shot Gesler, will have to so, too. What
is the use of disturbing these old ira
ditions? If they didn't happen they
might have done so, for is not truth
stranger than fiction? 1t is bad enough
for children to be compelled to lose
Santa Claus, which must occur at some
time, but what is the use telling that
that brave William Tell was q myth?
Thousands and thousands of Swiss have
lived and died absolutely believing in
him, and it didn't do any harm, either.
