In scalskins and furs generally. Just what
effect the proposed scheme may have upon the
market cannot now be foretold.
Tho primary shipping point for the skins
taken by tho sealers is Victoria. B. c. Tho
catch there landed by the vessels Of the seal-'
Ing fleet. after being treated with salt. Is
packed in casks for transport to London. the
great curing market These shipments are
made in the fall. and by reason OF the fluctua-
tions in values are forwarded to London un-
der guarantee OF delivery within specified
time from date OF departure Most OF these
shipments from Victoria arc by boat to Seattle
and Tacoma. and thence by fast express
freight trains on the transcontinental roads

Court Judge Jackson to day denied the petit
ton for writ Of habeas corpus in the case Of
II. Clay King Of Memphis. under sentence OF
death for the murder OF David H. Poston. He
also refused to grant an appeal to the Supreme

the United States by an application through a
member Of that court to remove the case to
TINT tribunal for review. or by applying to the
supreme Court for a rule nisi upon tho Circuit
Court to show cause why the writ should not
issue.
