Savannah, Sept. 2l.-A weak feeling
has prevailed in the market today due
to heavy northwest receipts 1924
cars, lower cables, and later affected
somewhat by the yellow fever reports,
The speculative demand has been very
poor, and shorts have shown very lit
tie disposition to buv until prices
dropped below 81, when there was fair
buying. The northwest receipts
caused the weak opening, although it
is claimed by elevator people that
farmers deliveries are much lighter
than last year. There was slight re-
action and the market remained dull
during the greater portion of the ses-
SION, breaking down to 9058 during
the last hour, | . of which was r5cov-
cred. Seaboard clearances amounted
to nearly 100000 bushels, and while
there were more reports of fresh ex-
port business we notice that ocean
freights have advanced, which IN a
measure account for our decline, if
fluctuations were always from legiti-
mate cause.

BACK FROM CANADA.
The Distinguished South Georgian Returns
From His Vacation.

The Atlanta Con stitution says:
"The abatement of the gubernato-
rial furore during recent weeks has
been marked, but there was no sign
that interest in probable candidates
had subsided yesterday, for Atlanta
was filled with politicians and all day
they goss'ped and made significant
forecasts Of coming events, This talk
was probably increased by the pres
ence of Hon. Fleming duBignon.
During the summer months Mr.. du-
Bignon has been in Canada, where he
has had most restful vacation, Civ
ing little heed to politics or politi-
CLANS and giving more attention to
the angling of black bass than to the
management Of campaigns.
Mr.. du Bignon returns to find the
race for governor where it was when
he made his departure. There has
been no progress except in the multi
plicity of candidates and the bobbing
up of several unprotected factors.
The reported candidacy of Judge AL
len Fort and the alleged entry of Col.
Allen Gambler have been the only no.
table events during his stay. Mr. du-
Blgnon is looking in fine fettle and
wears swarthy complexion and
healthy smile. He was the center of
large group in the Kimball for a
while yesterday afternoon, and
brought back string of Canadian fish
storles that caused the mountain yarns
of Tom Hutchison to weaken woefulIy.

New York, Sept. 21.-Peter Jackson

Fitzpatrick is confident the pair

STRIKE SITUATION.
No Laborers Coming on the Coming on the
Rio Grande.
Of the show

Rio Grande.
The strike situation remains un-
solved. Naturally, no work was done
yesterday, as the weather was such
that it was impossible,
The strikers did not, however, take
advantage of the weather to put in
any work toward compromise. They
kept indoors all day and there was no
conference looking toward settle
ment.
Mr.. II. H. Raymond gave out the
statement last night that the Rio
Grande, which is expected in this
morning, will positively not bring any
inen to take the places of the strikers,
but that a trainload would arrive, and
the men would be put to work as 5000
as they reached the city.

Revenue Cutter Too Slow About Leaving

Tampa, Sept. 81 A we'll authenti :
Gated report from Key West by the
Mascotte yesterday afternoon shows
that Major j. W. Linck, special treas
ury agent of this city, and Deputy
Hambleton had very warm time of
it in that city Saturday morning.
They saw men landing from the tug
Smith, and made an effort to secure
members of the customs force to pre-
vent the landing, but the men could
not be found. The Winona was then
ordered to go out and take hand in
the affair, and it is said that she was
an hour and half in getting away
from the dock. 1t is understood that
Major Linck is irritated over this in
difference or carelessness, and will
make report to the treasury depart
ment concerning the affair that will
make it lively for some of the persons
concerned.

Savannah, Sept. 21.-The cotton
market this morning has presented
very stable appearance, and Indica-
tions point to the fact that current
prices apparently practically discount
all unfavorable factors in the sltua-
tion. Gables from Liverpool state that
while the buying power there is in
sufficient to absorb the offerings,
which are largely represented by
hedging, the fear OF a substantial re-
action in the New York market has
the effect of holding the Liverpool
market in check. While the receipts
at the ports are heavy, estimated at
$4,000 bales VS.. 29,233 lsst week and
over $4,000 last year. The develop
ment of cold wave in the northwest
and reports Of frosts, together with
the reactIonary feeling abroad, have
excited sustaining influence here.

The Yellow Fever Spread is Be-
ing Kept Down in New
Orleans.
PROMINENT PHYSICIAN IN TROUBLE.
Dr. Holt Fails to Report to the Health Of
fee the Number of His
Patients.

New Orleans, Sept. 21.-Up to noon
today there were seven new cases of
yellow fever reported to the officer of
the state board of health. Two deaths
are also reported up to noon today.
The increase to is cases yesterday
was due to the fact that DR.. Joseph
Holt, a prominent physician, did not
report to the board of health office his
patients, 9 in number, which he had
been treating several days, until last
night, and then he reported by tele-
phoning to the board. There is con-
siderable indignation expressed
against DR.. holt, who was summoned
today before the state board to explain
his negli gence.

Paine, Murphy 4 Co.'s Stock Letter.

Savannah, Sept. 2l.-The stock mar
ket was partially demoralized today
by vigorous bear raid with absence
of all support to prices on the part of
larger financial and speculative inter
ests. Lower prices came from Lon
don, and arbitrage houses were sell
lers. The talk about the belllgerent
character of the representations SUBJ
mitted to the Spanish government on
the Cuban question by the new minis
ter was used with sentimental effect
by the bears, although the best advces
from Washington were that there
was no Foundation for any such; stop
loss orders accelerated the decline.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
TROTs WITHOUT A DRIVER.

One Of the prime attractions at Com
bination Park this year has been the
trotting mare Marion Mills, who goes
for records without sulky or driver.
Marion is a beautiful animal, and is
as eccentric as she is beautiful One of
her peculiarities is that she will not
speed her best before a small crowd.
She seems to know whether she is pac-
ing for money or fer fun.
In her exhibitions she wears ncthing
but a surcingle. bride, overdraw and
side-Checks. She is directed in her
performance by the staieer's bell. She
starts, stops and increases her speed
according to the strokes. She goes up
to the starting point and scores to the
wire just as if she were driven.
If the starter considers her a little
off he will ring the call back, and on
the instant She will whirl and try il
again. The moment the word "go" Is
given she shoots away like a rocket
and when the mile is finished she will
come back to the judges saand. look
up as if to ask if everything is o. X.
and then face the stand as if in appre-
citation of the applause.

Little Things That the Housekeep.
er Should Know.
White daisies with their golden CEN

full and attractive decoration.
1t is often necessary, owing to fear of
the brushes being improperly dried
when away from home, that these
should not be put into water. They
then may be thoroughly cleansed with
-four. Have the flour perfectly dry and
plentifully rub it into the bristles. Let
the brushes stand for an hour or longer,
then shake the dust out on an old tray
or newspaper, after which use clean
comb, running it briskly through the
bristles as if combing them out. A
second rubbing of the bristles with pul.
yerized magnesia before the combing,
if the bristles are very much discolored
may be used. This will be found a most
effectual mode of cleansing bristles.
An old housekeeper says the cleanest
and best dishwasher is round whisl6
broom made of the finest and Lest
broomcorn. 1t is cleaned readily by
holding under the spigot and running
hot water through it; after which hang
it in the air to be dried. This does away
with the annoyance of a discolored and
often musty dishcloth.
An expert gasfitter contends that the
