No Strike i'm West Virginia.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, July 5.-~Chief
Mine Inspector I. w. Paul, who has been
keeping in touch with the several coal fields
in West Virginia, said tonight that there
is at present no indication that the miners
of this State will go out. This" he said,
'is West Virginia's opportunity to find
new markets for her coal If the miners of
other neighboring States go out and there
is a suspension of coal production in those
States West Virginia can very nearly sup
ply the demand. In 1895 West Virginia pro-
duced one-ffth of all the coal produced
in the States of West Virginia Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Iii
running at less than half their capacity.
If this general strike is inaugurated and
the West Virginia miners keep at work
West Virginia coal will find new markets
and the State will be able to hold those
markets indefinitely after the strike ends

WHOLESALE LAND FRAUDS
Brought to Light I'm Connection
With West Virginia Coal Lands.

WHEELING. w. Va, Oct. 10.-A
land sWindle similar to that which has
been worked in some Western states is
being operated by parties outside Of the
state. In West Virginia there al,
enormous tracts of undeV el0pe:2 timber
and coal lands lying in the interior and
this fact has caused the swindlers to
turn their attention to them as an in
Viting field in which to work their
scheme. A dispatch from Mcdowell
county, lying in the extreme southern
most portion of the state, says that in
side the last two months deeds have
been admitted to record there purport-
ing to convey several thousand acres
of valuable coal land for considerations
segregating several hundred thousand
dollars which are believed to he fraud
ulent There are now over 1000, 900
acres on the land book while the county
only contains about 100000 acres all
told
The scheme of fraud is simple enough
and has been worked by the same par
ties for some time. The sWindlers pre-
pare a deed for a large tract of coal
land in the country and have it ac-
knowledged before some fictitious no
tary public in a far away state. They
send it to Mcdowell county, the dis
patch states, to be recorded, and have
the clerk of the county court forward
them certified copies of the deed from
the record This places them in po
sition to dispose of the pretended titles
for good price to unsuspecting par

LONDON MARKETS.
Heavy Drain of Gold to America fer
the Week

LONDON, Oct. 10.-The resumption
of gold shipments has changed the out
look for the money market. Grain ship
mentS from the United States are now
large and cotton also is en- route, while
there is little if any offset in the way
Of American purchases in this market
So far, indeed, as stock operations are
concerned special remittances in cash
are being made to New York in connec-
ton with the coming sale of the Union
Pacific railroad.
These circumstances combine to in
dictate a somewhat large drain of gold
and an advance in the bank rate, al
though the American demand will
doubtless be met to some extent from
Paris, French purchases of wheat be-
ing considerable A moderate rise in
the value of money is probable. Dis
count is rather firmer The banks are
not taking papec freely, though money
remains in good supply at l per cent
for q week.
Bar silver is 11sd per ounce lower,
owing to the general belief that the
Indian government has definitely re-
fused to reopen the Indian minis to the
free coinage of silver. If this belief is
we'll founded. all the negotiations of the
American bimetallic commissioners
may be considered at an end.
The hardening of rates in the money
market has had an adverse effect on
the stock exchange. Business ON specu-
lative account, however, is of such
moderate dimensions. and movements
have been within such a comparatively
narrow compass, that the effect has
been rather to discourage fresh deal
ings than to produce a decline. The
markets were steady yesterday, which
is a favorable feature on the eve of
settlement.
Canadian Pacific railway shares have
risen per cent within a week on the
excellent traffic reports On the other
hand Grand Trunk shares have fallen
from to 21z points in view OF the
doubt as to the intention of the direc-
tors to resume dividends.
Wall street is obviously feeling the
effects of recent speculative purchases
and the persistent unloading OF Euro
pean holders. The complications in Gu
ba are not so much discussed, but con-
siderable uneasiness is expected as to
the outcome of the mayoralty election
in New York. Mining shares and Span
ish securities are weaker.

REMARKABLE CORN FIELD.
Former Bed of Lake Produces 200
Bushels to the Acre

. Paot; Thomas L. Cox. who has recently re-
turned from Morrilton, says crops are I'M
usually good in that vicinity, and prosperity
is knocking at the door of every citizen, says
the Little Rock, Ark. Democrat He says
there is one cornfield near Morrilton that
VIII produce 200 bushels to the acre. This
is a remarkable statement, and yet he de-
clares that it is true. Until year or so
ago there was a lake near Morrilton cover
ing about 10000 acres. When the big floods
came two years ago an opening was made
by the surging waters which carried off all
the water of this lake when the floods sub
sided. The bed of the lake dried up and left
the richest soil the world ever saw. 1t is ten
feet deep, and nothing the River Nile ever
produced could excel It. This year Mills and
HALEY have crop of corn on about 1000
acres of this land. They sowed the corn
broadcast like wheat and the stalks are as
strong as saplings, and scores of shoots
come from every stalk Besides the big ears
on the stalks, the shoots are also loaded
down. 1T is the most remarkable corn crop
ever produced in the world" declared prof.
Cox, and to make the story even more In
teresttng, he ended It by declaring that a
coon" was caught between the stalks and
being unable to extricate itself because they
were SO thick, was killed by those who came
upon it

she appeared first with the hat band on the

On this group of roads, many of which
have for some time been in a low financial
condition, we find an average increase Of earn
1ngs amounting to 1888 per cent. This fact
tells the story more exactly than any other
evidence can, as TO the extent of the revival
OF the general business of the country. At
the moment the market is not in position to
respond to facts Of this character, but it does
not need to be said that, at a later stage, such
Evidences of prosperity must have their effect
in more important rise in the price of secur-
tiles than has yet occurred
We have now reached point at which any
disturbance to the local. money market from
the shipment Of currency to the interior will
be checked by receipts of gold from abroad.
Over s., coo eco has already arrived; and ex-
change has reached a level at which it will
pay to import god. Up to the date Of writing
engagements have been made this week for
the importation OF about $6, 0C0 600; and the
supply OF export bills is SUCH as to suggest
that further large amounts are likely to TO-
low. The Bank of England seems to take the
movement easily, as It made no further
change in its discount rate Thursday, the
reason probably being that the gold to be
sent hither will be drawn largely from the
continent. Under these circumstances there
is no reason to fear any departure from an
easy course of the local money market When
the refux of currency sent to the interior sets
in shall have another marked plethora Of
money, which may prove to be the occasion
of fresh revival of speculative operations
on the stock market. The flow of gold having
Iegitimately turned this way insures easy
money for the balance of the year at least.
The abundance of time money at moderate
rates of interest will tend to foster a specu-
lative upturn in the markets The better out
look for Cuba due TO the change in the Span
ish ministry, and the less likelihood in con-
SEQUENCE of this country becoming involved,
is a favorable factor in the situation.
The insiders in Chicago Gas, who sod large
ly when the stock was above par, seem ROW
inclined to buy it back, hence Chicago Gas, by
its strong money baking, has been pro-
nounced leader Its break did more than any
thing else to cause other stocks to fall; con
sequently if it is now advanced to approx
mate Par, it certainly will sympatheticaEy
advance other properties. The market, there
fore, now looks as if higher range would
be the next move IN the market. About the
only unfavorable factor in The present s-tua-
w il is only local.
