Current Weekly Comment.

EGGs.-Receipts have been fairly liberal
and demand rather quiet. But little change
in quotations.
OATs.-Trade is yet moderate with values
ruling about steady, but it takes very little
to meet buyers needs.
CoRN.-The market is quiet, with the
daily demand ruling slow Prices are fairly
steady, but show a moderate decline from
week ago.
PoULTRy.-Trade has been generally slow
for the past week. Western iced fowls
have been in full supply Receipts of broil-
ers are still light and small sales continue
at 80 to 4Oc per Id.
BEANS The market is still very du Il and
best domestic marrow pea and mediums
have to be placed in small lots to bring
S2.05 Foreign beans are in fair supply
and quiet at quotations.
FLoUR.-The market closes with prices
generally quoted higher than week ago,
although, at the advance, trade is slow.
There is a fair business doing in wellknown
trade brands, but grades have to be offered
at shade lower values to attract purchasers.
CHEEsE.-The market is so dull and I'M
settled that it is almost impossible to give
anything more than nominal quotations.
There is considerable new stock on the
market and best lots of northern are held at
about &c, but very few sales are making at
any price.
HAY AND STRAW Choice hay is firm and
the demand rules fair for such at full prices
Sales are noted at S14 80 to 10 so, while
something strictly fancy might go even
higher. The general market is helped by
the moderate receipts, but it is difficult TO
get any more for the lower grades. Rye
straw is quiet. Dat straw is dull
BUTrER.-Receipts are steadily increas-
ing and are gradually improving in quality,
some of the late arrivals showing consider
able grass. Trade has been quiet, but the
market closes with a steady tone on fine
goods, with extra fresh-made northern
creamery in fair demand at 1Sc. Extra
there are some special marks that bring
more. The under grades are still in heavy
supply, dull and unchanged. Northern
dairy is still running poor, and most lots
have very dull sale at IL to lac, but any
thing really extra will bring Ice. Nothing
of consequence doing in imitation creamery
or ladle goods.

Corn for Ensilage,

The question of using more corn for
ensilage is of interest to farmers early
in the season, and it might be of con-
siderable benefit in dairy districts if
more was raised for this purpose
and less for the general market.
The popularity of corn as an ensilage
crop is not likely to decline very soon.
BY virtue of its large yield, great feed
ing value, and the wide range of soils
and climates where it can be produced,
corn stands pre-eminently the great en-
silage crop of the country. The corn
crop can always be disposed of at a
good profit if one uses it for feeding,
either green in the field or in the ensil-
age form. Sometimes the grain is 80
cheap that the growers claim there is
no longer any profit in corn. Never
theless, it is, and always will be, the
great crop of this country. Those who
depend upon corn alone, however, must
take the risk of making or losing which
every specialist encounters. Corn cul-

The Effect of Fertilizers Oh Corn.

Although the benefits derived from
the application of commercial fertil-
izers has been shown time and time
again by agricultural journals, expert
ment stations and colleges, as well AS
by many farmers who have expert
mented and thoroughly tested and
proven their necessity, there are yet
great many intelligent farmers, even
now, who doubt the truth of their ne.
cessity, and still move along in the old
way, and very good way it is, of APP
plying barnyard manure to the soil. l
don't mean to say word against the
application of barnyard manure to the
soil, for the more you apply the richer
your land will be, especially in nitro.
genous, organic matter, but barnyard
manure at best is very one-sided fer
tilizer, and requires great deal to fur
nish enough potash and phosphoric
acid for the crop. A good crop of corn
and stover will remove from the soil in
the neighborhood of 154 pounds of
potash, So phosphoric acid and 1853 of
nitrogen per acre. To show this one
sidedness: If you take the analysis of
fresh cattle excrement, you will find
that it contains 30 per cent of nitrogen,
Ito per cent of potash and II per cent
of phosphoric acid. If you use barn
yard manure alone then, it will take
twenty-eight tons to supply the neces-
sary nitrogen for the above crop, sew
enty-seven tons for the potash and
thirty-one tons for the phosphoric acid.
You will, therefore, have fertilizer
excellent for improving the mechanical
condition of the soil, for giving an album
dant supply OF the necessary organic
materials to the soil, but poorly bal
anced in its necessary mineral lngre-
dients, and, unless large amount is
used, the fertilizng ingredients in the
soil will gradually become exhausted
and the soil will be non-fertile in spite
of the large amount of humus con
tanned. We will now see some of the
results obtained by Investigators in
some of our states in regard to the use
of commercial fertilizers. In the up.
lands of Alabama phosphoric acid is de
ficient in the soil, and phosphoric acid
is necessary. The best corn crops

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way TO cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case OF deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh

A Pretty Wedding.

Sylvania, Ga, Feb. 20-One Of the pref
tiest weddings that Sylvania has ever
known occurred at the Methodist church
here last night. The contracting parties
were Miss Maggie Waters. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Waters of Sylvania,
and James d. Newman, a popular young
business man of our town. The church
was tastefully decorated with evergreens
and the chancel softly and beautifully
lighted with candelabra. Long before the
hour appointed the house was filed with
the people of the town and many visitors
from other places. At 8 o'clock the bride
and groom, attended by SIX young couples,
marched down the aisle and took their
places around the altar, to the strains of
Mendelsshons Wedding March. In a few
happy and appropriate words Rev. r. J..
Nesse, pastor of the Methodist church
here, performed the ceremony which made
them man and wife, after which the bridal
party repaired to the home Of Mr. and
Mrs. Waters, where refreshments were
served. Mr.. and Mrs. Newman are popu-
lar young people of this town and have
many friends here and elsewhere.

HOwGATE IN THE JURY's HANDS.
After Ten Hours 1t Looks as If They
viii BE Unable to Agree.

Washington, Feb. 2l.--At 1890 O'Clock
this morning, Judge McComas, in the
criminal court. began his charge to the
jury in the Howgate case, and did not
conclude until L o'clock. The defense
noted exceptions to nearly every instruc-
ton given by the court. The court room
was packed with spectators. Capt. How
gate was present, accompanied as usual
by his daughter, Ida. The jury retired at
1910 o'clock.
After being out for nine hours. en-
gagged in a fruitless effort to reach an
agreement, the jury in the Howgate case
was locked up for the night at 10 o'clock
this evening. At fifteen minutes of that
time the foreman informed the court
crier that there was no probability, or
even possibility, that a verdict would be
reach I'd. Judge McComas was communi-
Gated with by telephone, and he sent di-
rections to have Capt. Howgate brought
into court at 1870 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Capt. Howgate was taken back
to Jail. and his daughter, who had re-
manned with him the whole time the
jury was out, went to her home.
Within the memory of the oldest court
officials no verdict has ever been rem
dered in case in this district on a legal
holiday, but there is said to be no stat
ute against such an innovation.

GEoRGIA's EXHIBIT.
The Exposition Company Called on
10 Erect o BuiIding.

Atlanta. Ca. Feb. 21-The state expo
sition commission held an important meet
ing to-day. Col. r. T. Nesbitt, commits
sioner Of agriculture. the executive ON
Ger Of the board who has been at his
home sick for six weeks, was present.
For two hours the board discussed the
question Of a state building with President
Collier and special committee Of the
exposition company.
Gov. Atkinson, in calling the meeting
TO order, referred to the persistence Of the
exposition people in pushing the appro-
priation bill through the legislature, be-
cause Georgias failure to recognize the
exposition would have been a serious
stumbling block for the exposition COM
pany. The governor said the state COM
mission had done all it could TO provide a
state building without calling upon the
exposition company, but that. since these
efforts had proven unsuccessful he and
the state commission had determined to
call upon the exposition company to
fulnll the promises made when the appro-
priaton bill was pending. He presented
d report OF the speech made in the House
by capt. p. ?. Howell Of Fulton, one OF
the exposition directors, in which Capf
Howell promised the state a $4,000 build
ing If the legislature would but give the
money to collect the states exhibit. The
governor said the legislature was induced
TO great extent to make the appropria-
ton by this promise, and unless it was
carried out by the exposition COMPANY
the board would be in serious douht
whether the appropriation could be touch
ed for d state exhibit
President Collier and others of the ex-
position committee appeared TO recognize
tho justice Of the position taken by the
state board, and several plans in the ma
tlre Of overtures were submitted.
After the conference with the exposition
committee the state board passed q reso-
lution expressing its doubt about the le-
sality or wisdom OF making any display
OF the states resources unless the ex-
position company supplied the state build
ing as per promises, and requesting the
Exposition Company to answer yes or no
10 the question, whether they win put up
the building.
Gov. Atkinson notified the directors of
The exposition company Of this action at
a meeting held this afternoon by a letter
To President Collier. The fate of the
states exhibit now rests on the reply of
the exposition people to Gov. Atkinson's
letter to-day

Baltimore, Nd, Feb. Especial dis
patches to the Manufacturers Record
shows that Mississippi has produced a
surplus of corn and for the first time in
her history corn is being shipped to the
west-Kansas City buyers now being in
the field. The local price is reported to
be 50 cents per bushel.
One Mississippi dispatch says: "Our best
farmers can average 50 bushels per acre
Corn can be raised here at a cost of Y
cents per bushel, and at % cents it would
pay better than cotton at cents per
pound. If we can get elevators at the
railroad stations this section will raise
corn instead of cotton

crease in activity in the building of cot
ton mills. Among the new mills reported
for the week were a $1,000 spindle plant and
one of 10000 spindles at Atlanta: a 800. 900
company to build 5000 spindle mill in the
same state; q mill of 10000 spindles and
$50 looms, and 100000 mill in South Car
olina; a company being organized in Flor
ida to build a 100000 mill; an offer from
New England people to build a s2S0,OO0
mill in Georgia, and a 100000 mill under
organization in the same state.
There has also been considerable activ-
ity in the building OF short railroads
Among the projects reported is a 80 mile

GoTHAM's BIG STRIKE.
Eighty Thousand Men May Rally to
Help the Electrical workers.

HeIp the Electrical Workers.
New York. Feb. 21.-Whether or not
there will be a general strike of the
workers Of the various building trades en-
gagged on the several big edifices now in
course of erection has been placed in the
hands OF committee Of eight of the
board of walking delegates. Such strike
would mean the turning out of possibly
$4,000 men in sympathy with the electrical
workers and determined 10 help them.
The board OF walking delegates met this
afternoon and appointed a strike commit
tee, which will meet tomorrow and con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of ordering the men
out over whom they have control to quit
work.
Master Workman Hoadley of the cleo
trical engineers said to-day that he was
almost sure that the board of delegates
would order a general strike. None of
the delegates would venture to say that g
strike would be ordered on other build
ings, nor could the members Of the COM
mittee say exactly at what time they
would meet, or whether they intended 70
order any strike. One man, however, said
that Monday morning would see either
a gigantic strike or the whole business
amicably arranged.
