THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKETS

Crop reports remain favorable, but in spite
of these circumstances tie market has found
supporters enough to give it an appearance OF
strength The fact that there is every pros
pect that the expectations of a big winter
wheat harvest and an immense spring wheat
crop will be fulfilled will probably result In a
decline in prices.
Although corn has failed to meet the pre-
dictions of its friends and has not advanced
greatly, IL has shown little weakness and its
supporters have not withdrawn. The New
York advices are that an organized effort is
TO be made TO create bull movement In corn
at an early date.

the veterans. The new officers elected
were: President, Taylor Meelks. Green's
burg; first vice president. Capt. Hugh
Weston. Fairmount; second vice president
John Freehart, Rushville; secretary and
treasurer, w. s. Kaler, AndersonVille;

sidered by the members as their old stamp

regiment enlisted and where it remained in
camp for three months in the winter of
1S63-64. The Observation-Disclosures third

REUNION AT NEW CASTLE.
Col. Oran III. Perry Makes an Address
to His Old Regiment.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NEW CASTLE, Ind, Sept 1.-THE an
nual reunion of the Sixty-ninth Indiana
Regiment was held in this city to-day.
About one hundred and forty of the MEM
bers were present, and it was considered
the best meeting the regiment has ever
held. Col. Oran FL. Perry. of indianapolis,
presided at the business session and also
at the campfire tonight. The w. r. c..
served dinner in the X. of p. Hall and the
veterans thoroughly enjoyed the banquet.
At the business session the manner of en-
pertaining the annual gathering was dis
cussed and it was finally decided that the
better plan would be for those attending
to pay for their entertainment, all being
entertained at the same place and under
one contract, the idea being TO give the job
to the relief corps of the town holding the
reunion Colonel Perry was reelected
president and Maj. NJ. NJ. Lacy, of Foun-
tain City was reelected secretary. The
next meeting will be held at Lynn. A good
programme was presented at the camp
fire tonight, including short talks by COM
rades and music The SiXty-ninth was en-
Delaware, Randolph. Fayette and Union,
and was organized at Camp Wayne, in Au-
gust, 1862. Col. William Bickle was the
first colonel, but he soon resigned and was
succeeded by Col. Thomas Bennett AT the
siege of Vicksburg Colonel Bennett re-
signed on account of sickness and was sue
ceeded by Colonel Perry who remained in
command until the regiment was dis
charged, in July, 1865.

NO ADVANCE IN CIGARETTES.
Tobacco Trust Concludes to Maintain
the Old Prices.

There will be no advance in the price of
cigarettes. A few days ago local dealers
were notified by the American Tobacco
Company that the price would be advanced
from 1888 to $4lS a thousand The big
trust decided to make this advance because
the tax on cigarettes had been advanced
50 cents q thousand. There was so much
opposition 10 the proposition by consumers
that the plan was finally abandoned, and
local dealers said yesterday that the price
would remain az X was before. When the
advance was first talked of it was said
that the price TO consumers would be ad-
vanced 10 6, and, perhaps, cents a pack
age.
A dealer said yesterday that the Amer
lean Tobacco Company was justified in
making the 3D-cent increase on account of
the increased taxation Even at S4IS a
thousand there would still be 20 cents less
profit than formerly. Il suppose" said he
-that the trust has abandoned this plan on
account of the howl that was made by
cigarette smokers
