New YORK, July 2O-Business in dry
goods opened without change. The mail
order request was very fair, but transactions
on TN spot were moderate, though in some
cotton specialties there was more activity.
Staple cottons have a good share in the
general movement and are in good shape as
a rule Jobbers also were having very fair
mail returns from statesmen Oh the road
handling fall fabrics. The spot trade was
fair for the period. Jobbers began the open
ing of new goods in store. but the show ing
did not extend beyond prints and a few
dress goods No very active trade is looked
for this month at either first or second
hands. Clothiers were buying more gen
orally, but the orders were very light.

OFFICE OF PITTsBuRG DISPATCH
MONDAY, July 20. (
COUNTRY PRoDUcE-(Jobbing Prices): Mon
day is uniformly an off day in farm and gar
den product lines and to-day was no excep-
tion to the rule. Apples and watermelons
are in bountiful supply, and buyers have the
field. Blackberries were so plentiful at the
close of last week that large quantities were
necessarily held over and are drug to-day
at nominal prices. There were sales this
morning as low as DC box, but this price
was for overripe stock. Tropical fruits are
forced to the rear of late by reason of large
receipts of domestic fruits. Lemons have
proved great disappointment to jobbers
the past few weeks. There were predictions
few weeks ago that lemons would go to $40
per box. Present prices are not above half
this figure For some reason which this edi-
tor will not attempt to give, lemons are
lower than they have been for years at this
time. Bananas are also in supply far above
demand, and, as much of stock is overripe,
buyers are able to name their prices. Not
less than 80 carloads OF bananas have been
received this week and fully Is cars are ON
sale at this time. Choice dairy products are
steady at quotations, and it is only ques-
tion of short time when prices must ad-
vance. Ohio cheese already is firm enough
to go up higher. Strictly fresh eggs are good
stock at quotations.

PLENTY OF CASH
To Keep Business Moving and No Fear of a
Stringency.

The week opened ausplciously in financial
circles. All of the regular lines were active,
and there was a good call for loans. Some of
the banks reported such an increase in dis
counts that their surplus was fast approach
ing the reserve line. Others not so fortunate,
or more conservative, had plenty of money
to spare.
While business is undoubtedly expand
ing there is, on the whole, an abundance of
funds to handle it, and no fears are enter
offset by the heavy crops at home and small
ones in Europe, which will turn the balance
of trade in this direction. The ruling rate
on all classes of loans is 51l@7 per cent, with
the bulk of business at 6. Exchanges were

ANONYMOUS ISLANDER.

Eugene Field has printed in the
Chicago News an alleged remark
made by prominent New Orleans
journalist" in regard to Mrs. jefferson
Davis, which must be acknowledged
a base and cowardly calumniation
This supposed New Orleans journalist,
whom Mr.. Field conceals behind this
anonymous description, says that
Mrs. Davis was the evil star of he
husbands existence, the bane Of his
life; that through her bitter hatred of
the North she goaded him on to con-
tinue the war long after his own bet
ter Judgment was in favor of closing
it; and concludes with various other
charges, equally false and unfounded.
The people of the South know these
things to be untrue; but that after
this lapse Of time and in the present
helpless condition of Mrs. Davis these
stories should be circulated and given
credence, shows a degree of malice
which might be expected Of Col. FL
lott Shepard, but is beneath the dig
nifty of the Chicago News.

THE TRAMP PRINTER.


Several of the State papers have an
nounced their intention to give nelther
work nor shelter to such tramp print
ers as may hereafter wend their
weary way to the door Of the local
sanctum and ask for little worK-to
enable them to go on to the next
town. The editors Of these papers
claim that they have on various &C.
casions been victimized by these
tramp printers, some of whom nave
not hesitated to appropriate such
iewelry and bric-a-brac as they touno
living about the office, and have maze
their escape with this booty to parts
unknown. But it would be equally
as lust to cease all charitable deeuS
because some poor claimants on char-
ity are found to be imposters; or TO re-
fuse crust to all beggars alike De-
cause few beggars are not what they
pretend to be. There is no doubt that
many a printer becomes tramp
through his own misdeeds, and that ne
"hobos" about the country as a result
of habitual dissipation or protracted
sprees. But be that as it may, when
the printer has money his heart ana
hand are always open, and no cry Oh
distress ever comes to his ear unheed-
ed. The dirty and ragged "hopo"
who calls at the door of country
printing office and asks for few
days work has probably, in the.
course of his life, spent as much
money in charity as that entire plant
is worth. A thousand times he has
helped his fellow "prints" when ne
found them in need. A thousand
times he has asked the new tramps
who came into the office, "Well how're
you fixed?" and finding them not
very well fixed, has gone down into
his pockets for the price of a meal and
bed. He has helped to care for his
fellow workmen; has sent them to the
hospital, has employed physicians,
has provided them with delicacies.
With the wages of a mere artisan he
has had the liberality of million
aire, and this accounts in great part
for the fact that he is now "hobo,"
that he counts the ties or rides on the
bumpers from one town to another.
Moreover, he is man of brains, well
posted on politics and history, and
has acquired all the advantages to be
gained by reading and travel. The
editor who makes a rule that will
turn away from his door man like
this must have small knowledge of
the worth and abilities of the genus
printer. 1t would be better to make
the opposite rule, which would insure
the helping of many worthy men,
even.though one or two unworthy
were assisted also.

There was delightful story of love

which proved that there is no deep
water at Velasco. AS a matter of
fact the vessel was delayed at Charles
ton, and did not arrive until Tuesday;
several days after the incident de-
scribed in the News. The difficulty
is that the News is a theosophist, and
projects it's astral body into space
when it wants to know anything, or
else sends Mahatmas Vanderhurst
after it. People who do not under
stand this faculty of the News will
doubtless make themselves odious
with unpleasant examinations over
this little circumstance.

Thrashed Man Twice His Size.

The other day small, harmless
looking man entered a New York
street car, and accidentally trod on
the toes OF big siX-footer. He apollo
gized, but the siX-footer wasn't salts
fled. He talked for some time, and
finally invited the little man to leave
the car and settle the matter on the
sidewalk. Greatly to his astonish-
ment, the latter accepted. Those who
witnessed the contest say that it
didn't last long, but that the big fell
low had to be carried home in an am
bulance, while his dimiuutive antago-
mist walked away with q cheerful
smile. And so it is with DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They re not half as
big as most of their rivals, but they do
their work quietly and thoroughly.

THE STATE PRESS.

The Taylor Texan comes out with
twelve pages, and is bright and newsy
throughout.
Editor Charley Lewis has passed
over the pencil of the Texian Press to
NJ. M. Cox, who will labor for Estaca-
do in future.
Rockdale is prospecting in a very
substantial way, for which it should
thank its bright and energetic paper,
the Messenger.
The Limestone New Era says that
the Thornton Herald is to be moved
to Groesbeck, and extends the new
conner generous welcome.
This cruel stab is from the Gazette:
"The rumor that the News intends to
move its Galveston plant to Velasco
has not yet been confirmed"
The following announcement from
the Coleman Voice may be regarded
as official: "The editor has been down
with the grip or influenza or
what is it?' most of the past two
weeks, and could not give proper at
tention to local matters"
The Waco Day sends this paragraph
in search of the genial Frank:
managing Editor Brady must be
getting tired. His Gazette of yester-
day had less than half column of
editorial matter"
1t is the Corpus Christi Caller that
saws, in italics: There is world of
nothingness written and spoken about
the subsidized press which rides on
railroad passes by blinkety blank
idiots who never see an honest rail-
road advertisement in paper"
The Corsicana Courier-Observer
gives this hint to q discerning public:
"a glance at our paper will show who
are the enterprising merchants that
believe in telling where to find the
best and cheapest wares. You can
generally count that you cannot trade
to better advantage than with lib
eral advertiser"
The Wills Point Chronicle gives ut
terance to this grim and horrible
threat: ave will take q few pack
ages of fire-crackers and a pack of
hounds on subscription now. We
wish to tie the re-crackers to the
coat tails of the low bred duck who
stole the spout off our cistern and set
the dogs on him."
The Lockhart Register thus dispels
a widespread illusion: "Some people
think that all that is necessary to run
q paper is have press, little type,
and the world will be on fire. A big
ger mistake was never made. 1t
takes work, and lots of it, with money
and business qualifications, to safely
steer newspaper clear of the break
ers.n
The Bryan Eagle sends out this inn
personal remark, and leaves the boys
to dodge it if they are able: eff there
are any other of the boys from the
forks of the creek, or anywhere else,
for that matter, who think because
they subscribe for a weekly news
paper at 81 a year they can dictate its
policy, editorially or otherwise, they
are invited to call in and have the
Eagle stopped at once"
The Huntsville Item, one of the
oldest weeklies in the state, takes adj
vantage of it's years to preach this
timely sermon: "Boys, be boys; have
all the fun Christmas you can, but
don't do something ugly which it
will take you years to overcome, and
maybe never. Remember your char
acters are being formed now and one
single act may cause you years OF re-
morse. Be men and not monkeys"

HENRY L. NORCROS,S.

Whatever doubts might have re-
manned as to the identity of young
Norcross were removed by the dentist
who claimed that he had done certain
work on the teeth of the Boston
broker. The teeth of the CHASTITY head
were examined and found to CORE
spond perfectly with the dentists de-
scription. This concludes story in
every way remarkable. AS a school
boy young Norcross had been a
bright and promising pupil, always
at the head of his classes; but was
quiet and reserved, not mixing much
with other boys, and making few
friends He had been a good son; a
steady, thorough business man, but
that quiet, moody way had
become somewhat intensified as
he grew older. At what time
this cloud first came over his mind it
is impossible to say. 1t may have
been months or even years ago-but
with the cunning of a maniac he had
succeeded in binding even his father
and mother to his true condition and
had transacted his ordinary business
affairs in such away that no one sus-
pected anything was wrong. 1t had
been his habit all his life to keep his
own counsel and he kept itabout this.
In his moody, sensitive way he had
laid his insane plans and he carried
them out to the letter. Men who have
spent their lives in studying the vari-
Gus phenomena ofinsanity will scarce
ly find anything more peculiar and
more startling than this.
