come to them. 1t is to be regretted here as
elsewhere, for we see very little promise of
the excellent industry at Catoctin Furnaces

preston lasts. There is positively now no
margin for profit at any furnace with iron at
the prices quoted, which are as low as 5000

of northern furnaces are about $l3 tor Grey

COTTON PLANTERS IN EARNEST
All Papers Read at Their Convention Giver
to the Resolution Committee.

All Papers Read at Their Convention Given
to the Resolution Committee.
MEMPHIS, Jan. S.-That the cotton
farmers of the South are terribly in earnest
in their endeavor to solve the problem of
over-production, was evinced by the en-
thusiastic meeting of delegates to the con-
vention of the Mississippi Valley Cotton
Growers Association, which was called to
order this morning by Ira G. Halloway,
President of the Association. About 600
delegates from Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi. Alabama and North Carolina
were present. Prominent among the other
spectators were Governor James P Eagle,
of Arkansas, Governor Buchanan, of
Tennessee, and ''Private" John NJ. Allen,
of Mississippi.
Colonel Stone, of Mississippi, moved that
the papers that were read be referred to the
Committee on Resolutions to be incor-
porated in memorial to the people. He
was opposed to the word resolutions" for
the bone and sinew of the country might
ask what right had the convention to pass
lot of resolutions. He favored an appeal to
the people. Colonel Goodwin favored pass
ing resolutions, then dispensing and going
home to work their crops. He advocated
forming local associations in every county.
Then followed a debate, with the result that
a motion prevailed to turn over to the CON-
mittee on Resolutions all papers sent to the
convention.

changes do not threaten, but promise to
help the legitimate business of the country,
which over-confident speculation at this
time might have embarrassed. The Govern
ment issued this week its final statement of
the yield of wheat, corn and oats. The yield
OF wheat now reported so far, exceeds
previous department estimates, and the
price has dropped sharply, 81 cents tor the
week, on sales of only 10 100000 bushels

STRONG TESTIMONY AT VALLEJO.
Evidence Point Blank Against Chilean
Soldiery at Valparaiso.

Evidence Point Blank Against Chilean
Soldiery at Valparaiso.
VALLEJO, CAL, Jan. Sat the investi-
CATION into the assault upon the sailors of
the cruiser Baltimore at Valparaiso Charles
LANCER, a seaman, testified that he was in
the international Hotel with johnson, who
yesterday gave evidence directly implicat-
ing the men-of-war's police and soldiery in
the killing of Boatswain Mate higgins.
Langer's testimony to-day was even stronger
than Johnsons, According to LANCER,
when higgins rose the first time, two police
men came up, drew short swords and
knocked him down again. They then stood
back and let the crowd stab and beat him.
higgins seemed to be asking protection of
the police when they knocked him down.
Afterward squad of soldiers approached,
marching bv twos, under command of
a mounted officer. They marched to within
six feet from where johnson was holding
higgins in his arms. There they halted
and the first two soldiers leveled their
rifles and fired at the two American
sailors.
81 was about Is feet off to one side"
said LANCER ''No one was between me and
them, the crowd being back of the soldiers
at that moment. No other shots were fired
by any one I saw the soldiers distinctly
level their rifles at the Baltimore men and
fire. The crowd had drawn back, then
soldiers came up, leaving a clear passage
between Riggin and the soldiers. After
the first shot was fired the soldiers pressed
forward little, and could not see the
second rife fired, but am sure it was one of
the leading soldiers that fired"

so. The new combination has not vet de.

The Iron Condition Improved.
The great industries report no important

improvement is seen in bar and plates, and

The money market has been well supplied

prospects of the country are remarkably
favorable for the beginning of new year,
excepting at the South, and while the de-
preston in that section may considerably
affect some trades and branches of manu-
facture, the uplifting influence of large
Northern crops and of unprecedented for

substantial ground for the great conf dence
