STRONGER AND ACTIVE.
Check to the Downward Movement in the
Local Stock Market. &

Advices of a reassuring character from New
York yesterday caused a better feeling in local
stock circles, and business was respectable In
volume and prices materially higher. Buyers
were rather urgent and the filling Of consid-
cradle number of orders gave the market
boost, which it maintained from opening to
close. In most instances last prices were the
best of the day.
Sales at first call were 20 shares of New York
and Cleveland Gas Coal at 361<. 70 Pleasant

phia Gas at 22zs rs at %, so at 2S94, and '25 at

Lumber.

The supply of hard wood, particularly oak, is
not up to demand, but there has been no
change in rates. Oak timbers are steadily
growing into popularity for heavy structures,
such as bridges, at the expense of hemlock and
pine. There is also scarcity of cherry. All
building lumber is moving freely at old prices.
Dealers have all they can do to meet demands
of customers. Country roads are in such con-
dition as to prevent getting supplies to river
and railroads. Cold weather and snow are
longed for in the lumber regions.

BEE COUNTY AND BEEVILLE.
New Ell Dorado for HOmeseekers and
Investors

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, aud 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay sub-soil Is the pre-
vailing quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions with very, rich black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to scour on the
pillow. Bee county will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins month earlier and con-
tinues a month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow we'll, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes, melons, pumpkins and all
kinds of vegetables grow to great perfsc-
ton. Pears, peaches, plums, apricots,
figs, oranges, bananas, strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds of small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee

Professor F. n. Albert of Houston, an emf.

vile and her surroundings.
Like it? I am charmed with it, And this is
what oil the guests in this hotel, visitors like
myself. say, whenever you put the question to
them. This morning about Z O'Clock when
looked at the Thermometer found it registered
only seventy-eight degrees, and at the hottest
time in the afternoon ninety degrees, which
is the highest point reached since
air braces you up and gives you an
appetite you never had before. This morning I
took drive up the mountain ridge that encir-
cles the town. After we crossed the Guadalupe
river and came to the highest elevations we
got sight of scenery that reminded me of Swift
Eerland. We could see as far as twenty miles at
least, and though it was near noontide we
scarcely noticed the heat of the sun. It is very
strange, sir, that the people Of Houston, Gal
weston and other Texas cities, viii go and spend
their money in the North and East when they
can get such sights, such bracing air as I find
here in their own state. am positive if people
knew, or had only an idea OF what Kerrville and
its surroundings offer them, they would come
here by the hundreds. 1 viii add this, that
there is no malaria here. Several guests of this
hotel who came here for their health told me
thst after being here only few days they felt
the beneficial effects of your pure and health
