He Wants TO BE Notified Charges But

Atlanta. Ga. Aug. 2G.-ThOmaS f..
Watson. in his paper this evening. asks
to be notified of his nomination. He
makes Il serious charge against Marion
Butler, declaring that the senator has
msstatcd facts when quoted as saying
il has never been customary TO notify
popuiSt nominees and cites the fact that
Weaver and Field were notified in 1872
and made speeches of acceptance. Mr.
Watson appeals to the committee to do
its duty, and concludes:
"Why does Senator Allen, chairman of
the notification committee, refuse to do
what the convention instructed him to
do? Is he afraid Mr.. Bryan will repu-
date our support? If so our party has
a right to know that fact. If Mr.. Bryan
is ashamed of the votes which are nee
cssary to elect him we ought to know
it. He can not carry his own state with
out our help, and if he is ashamed of our
help he is not the man our people have
taken him TO be-

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

Deafness is the result, and unless the in

will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the

FI,OIyS AND COARSE GRAINS


Flour-The lower prices for wheat with
the attendant weakness in the market for
that commodity continues to depreSS the
nour market and although flour can be had
at lower prices than ruled some time ago,
the decline has not been any where nearly
as great as that in May wheat. The fact is
that cash wheat has declined about &c less
than May, and as it is cash wheat that the
millers must buy. the decline in flour cam
not be greater than the decline in cash
wheat. Thus while May wheat at Chi
cagO and here has declined some &c, cash
wheat has deprecated only about &c from
high point and the decline in flour there
fore should not be greater than on a
basis of a &c decline in wheat, which would
warrant about 10c decline In first pat
ent flour. But buyers are continually
looking at the futures market in wheat
and judging from that whether or not flour
Is cheap. They should look at the market
cash wheat Milers are offering flour
at about l0c decline from high point, but
are selling little to the larger trade The
small regular trade which takes the goods
required regardless of price and when
ever they need the stock, is buying as lib
orally as could be expected, although this
class, too. Is effected more or less at this
time by the uncertainty prevailing. For
eigners will not even be friendly They
DO not act as though they would ever need
any more flour. but if reports are true con-
corning the present location of wheat sup
plies in Great Britain, it is certain that
before a great while there will be Scram.

Eastern buyers who have been trying all
along to get hold of some sacked bran at
lower prices than the mills cared to sell,
have given up the hope and are withdraw
ing from the market, not even caring to
bid. They are either getting along with
out stock or they are getting what they
want somewhere outside Of this point. The
local mills. however, are well sold ahead
and are not pressing sale, apparently not
even much disposed to accept prices nam
ed, although higher quotation would be
far from rejecting the market as mar
ket. There is little dispute concerning
prices, but the mills will not sell very far
ahead on the present basis. Trade in
these lines generally revives along the lat
ter part of February and the first of
March. Dairymen and farmers in the
East come into the market for more and
in the spring, just between hay and grass
there is always big demand. Quotations
are unchanged, although there is little do
ing.
Feed and Meal-There is a very small
trade doing in these articles. The whole
season has been disappointing to millers
and at present they do not care to take
new business unless at small profit But
no trade will pay a profit SO that the mills
are operating with as little capacity in
motion as possible. They are finding it
rather difficult to get hold of corn enough
to supply even their small wants and are
being obliged to pay fully as much for the
law DIS IHey get Out OI the Ill
1shed product. The quotations still stand
at SO for coarse corn products. Mixed
feed is quoted at $9.25@9.75, according to
grade

few cars coming along each day and SELL

Barley-There is small speculative de-

rather low grade. The price ranges from
zoe to 24c, according to desirability.
Flax-The local market is still quoted
at about &c under Chicago price. Most
stock is sold in transit. The market is

Corn-There was a steady feeling in the
