Elmira, Israxton County.

To begin, will give brief outline
or description of this country: The
land here is very rich aud productive,
equal almost for corn and other vege-
tation to the Ohio bottoms, though
somewhat rough. But after leaving
the West Fork AM striking the wa
tiers of Elk river, Mill creek, Tate
creek, Duck creek and Otter the
country is smoother and hills not so
high. This country is we'll adapted
to grass and stock raising, and is
thickly settled with good people, with
Il few exceptions, as is the case in all
parts.
There are some fine farms in this
section of Braxton county.
Frank Bowers, former citizen of
Calhoun, owns fine farm here and
is farming in frst-class style.
John Hall, Frank Hall, Wesley
and Milt Robson, r. NJ. Barr, some
OF the Mollohans and others too nu-
merous to mention all have good
farms.
This country bids fair to become
the best part of Braxton county.

COURT OF INQUIRY ORDERED.
Charges Against Commander Mullan
to BE InYestigntCd.

Rumors which recently reached the Navy
Department affecting Commander Dennis
Mallan causing his detachment as coIit-
mandant of the Pensacola navy yard several
weeks ago, ale to be investigated, and for
that purpose a court of inquiry, of which
Capt. Norman q. Farquhar is the sole
member, and Assistant Judge Advocate
Gen. Charles II Lauchheimer, u. s. NJ C.,
is Judge advocate, has been ordered from
Washington TO meet at the Pensacola navy
yard next Thursday, the 25th inst. The
precise nature of the reports is not divulged,
but they are said to relate to occurrences
while tie officer commanded tie yard dur
ing the past year, which would seriously
affect his standing if verified.
Commander Mullan was one CT the heroes
OF the Samoan disaster in March, 1859,
when three United States vessels, the
Trenton, Vandalia, and Nipsic, and two
German gunboats were forced upon the
beach and ground to pieces. He was i'll
command of the Nipsic, and by curious
coincidence Capt. FarQuhar, who will now
investigate the rumors concerning him,
commanded the flagship Trenton at the
time.

The New York Financier saws this week:
The statement of the associated banks
of New York city for the week ending
March 20, shows q marked reduction IN
reserve, the cash holdings having de
creased not less than 50, s., 900. The
surplus reserve shows a similar contrac-
ton, the loss for the Week, $4,694 .575,
bringing the excess cash In the banks
to SIS, les ,795, which is oyer nine mil
lions less than was reported three weeks
ago In this period ldans.Ittave increased
about the same AMOUNT while deposits
are only $500 900 heavier
The loss OF nearly sc, 10000 in cash
during the last week Us easily accounted
for. The banks paid aivutr$6 900 geo To
the Treasury on account of the custom
house Withdrawals 7oIs bGnded goods, ana
as tins money involved a transfer of funds
out of bank, rather than the opening of
credits. which would swell the deposit
account, the loss was actual, and reduced
the net cash holdings.
& The movement which resulted in these
sudden payments into the custom-house on
the part of importers has apparently run
its course. AS it necessitatcd borrowing
In nearly the same amount as the payment
of duties, a corresponding increase was
looked for in the loan total but the increase
as shown by the statement was only S457,-
600 The only Inference, therefore, is that
there has been considerable liquidation in
other loans
Since the lst Of March the loan eXpan-
sion has been SS,759, 900, but as Sc 900
900 at least must have been added to this
sum last week, the contraction in other
outstanding loans appears plain. The
banks are still decreasing their circula-
ton, the reduction of S25S 400 last week
making a total contraction of 81 4,3oS,-
800 since December II.
This is an unprecedented decline, but
the necessity and advisability of such a
course are not to be disputed, when the
congestion of the local money market is
taken into consideration.

The World of Business

The war in Wall street against the bucket
shops, which have multiplied in New York
and throughout the country of late, has
culminated in a notice sent out by the
officers of the exchange TO the Western
Union Telegraph Company, that the con
tract with the Gold and Stock Telegraph
Company, branch of the Western Union
Company, Will not be renewed On June
20, when it expires. The bucket shops
have been a thorn in the flesh OF the
stock exchange for long time past, and
have ranked more and more this past
winter.
1t is said to be fact that the former
customers of the commission houses, mem
bers of the exchange, are TO a large extent
doing their business now with the bucket
shops, and that in reality the stock ex-
change business is being cut all TO pieces
and will soon almost have vanished alto
gether The Western Union Company,
through the Gold and Stock Company, the
governing Z committee of the stock exchange
asserts, has persisted in supplying tie
bucket shops of the country with quota
tions over the tickers controlled by the
Gold and Stock Company.
1t is also asserted by the stock exchange
that at the same time the ticker quota
tions are furnished the proDrietors of the
bucket shops are also furnished an express
telegraph service, giving them an ad
vantage of two or three minutes over their
customers. AS the bucket shops eX ecute no
orders, but take the trade, they have an
advantage over the customers.
Whether all this is so or not, and every
trader in Washington knows all about
this matter, it is the opinion of experts
that the stock exchange is running up
against pretty stiff thing, and that it will
come out loser. Wall street isvery cynical
If it will ever occur that anyone desiring
the ticker service need be without it there
seems no way to prevent it. However
the effect on Western Union stock viii
probably be bad for a short time, traders
say.

Business at the stock exchange yester-
day was moderately active, the sales ag
gregating 100000 shares in the course of
the two hours of the short session. The
course of the market was irregular how
ever, and indecsive. At the end of the
day prices were about as they were at the
opening. 1t is the opinion of experts that
tomorrow morning may see decline,
perhaps not very large one, and that for
a day or so the bear side of the market
will be the most profitable one. This is
simply in the way of reaction from the
advanced prices, and does not necessarily
