PEANUTS AND COMPETITION
Too Many of the Former and Too

Ne,c York TIM

Much of the Latter Break a Trust
Nec York TIM
What is known as the Virginia Peanut
Trust, a combin alton OF Virginia and
North Carolina peanut dealers, has been
dissolved, and the wholesale price of
peanuts has declined in consequence.
The chief peanut producing States OF
the country are Virginia and North Caro-
lima, and the trust, organized five years
ago by Norfolk, Richmond and Petersburg
firms. had for its object the maintenance OF
a price which would make the sale of pea
nuts profitable to the wholesalers. The
agricultural conditions in both States are
favorable to a very large production of
peanuts, and Virginia's average crop
amounts to 2,6oO,U0O bushels, North Caro-
lima following with 2,O0O,0OO bushels.
During the last two years there have
been large stocks of peanuts, owned by
the wholesalers. retained in warehouses
awaiting a rise, but. the rise not having
taken place as expected, the members
of the trust have found themselves with
a giut on hand, and the pressure to realize
has brought about the breakup OF the
trust, though this Is not the only reason.
for fore On competition in he line of pea
nut OIL has had considerable 10 do with
the matter as well.
The United States, though very large pro-
ducers of peanuts, have no monopoly, for
peanut vines re grown extensively on both
the east and west coasts of Africa and
throughout India. The product goes chiefly
to France and German and both countries
deal largely in the manufactured product,
peanut oii." Marseilles is the headquarters
or this industry n nd the average Importation
into Marseilles, mostly from the French
possessions in and about senesamoia.
amounts to 10000, 900 bushels year.
The peanuts of Senegambia yield so per
cent OF their weight in Oil and this oil is
used very extensively in commerce. 1t is
imported from France as ''oiive OIL" and
what is not imported is used chiefly in the
manufacture of soap and perfumery,
Marseiiies being in the section of France
from which the elements OF the best kno wn
and most popular perfumery come. The
American variety of peanut is less rich in
the properties of oil than those used in
Europe, As per cent being the general aver
age here. One hundred pounds Of olives
yield thirt y-threc pounds of olive oil but
il is, as is well known, oil Of a
superior quality. The rape seed yields
thirty-tbree pounds, almonds yield forty
eight pounds. the poppy firty-eight pounds
and walnuts sixty pounds.
The dealers in peanut Oil in the United
States have to contend first with the
competition of European countries. French
and German and Englibh soap being more
marketable than American soaps OF similar
excellence. They have to contend, too,
with the increasing use OF eieomargarine
and OF cottonseed oil. The low price in
recent years OF cotton has led to more
general utilization of cottonseed oil.

with regard to the Legality of a certain

the State law forbade it within such

In the fail OF 1857 there arrived in Lin
coin, Neb., a young man with cleaning
whskers. Although somewhat sparse, as
| the soil ON which they grew was young,
| they were of raven blackness anu con-
siderable length. Tie whiskers in Nebraska

When the stranger arrived in Lincoln
old Inhabitants looked at his whiskers and
sighed and shook their heads.
His whskers,'' they said, ''are teauti-
full now, but alas, this sheen must pass
away"
The stranger rented an office and hung
out a sign which read: wv. J. Bryan, At

Gus stranger, whose whiskers did not fade,

autumn. Other whiskers had succumbed
to the rIiDous climate. Some had tecoIne

less; but the wEiskers of the stranger were
as Furnished ebony.
There were ignorant and superstitious
persons who said that lie was sorceier, who
should be burned at the stake or broken
on the wheel; tina &c kept his whiskers black
by magic rites and .ncantat ions. But wiser
men overruled them and said:
The resources of chemistry are won

whiskers impervious 10 the weather"
The spring came, and the scent of the
golden rod was heavy on their air. The

dead game sports, and then Mir. Bryan
went into politics. He made speeches
Men went to hear him, and soon forgot
the melody OF his voice in admiring the
whiskers through which il was filtered.
His words were as soothing as the song
OF the buibul to the rose in the gardens OF
the Alhambra, but they trickled through
whiskers that fveied the eyes and held
the senses speilbound, and fell upon heed

In the summer OF 1888 Mr.. Bryan en-
tered a barber shop hard by the Capital
Hotel. A cold perspiration was on his
brow, his bosom beaved with emotion, but

his step finn, and his lips set with Roman

heaven-born orator had been discovered.
His rise was rapid: he made speeches
