The Ferris nam is hard to beat;
It's firm and tender, rich and sweet
A little high in price, perhaps;
But prices low are often traps
Where those are caught like little mice
Who buy because they like the price.
Our price is fixed to suit the grade,
And not to catch floating trade;
And If our hams you'll recommend
You'll make your customer your friend.
You II find him coming every time
When looking for a ham that's prime.
Nor is this all-for furthermore,
Our friends will advertise our store;
It's good repute will grow apace,
And men will know it as the place
Where they may get the very best
We keep the hams-you do the rest.

morning from Richmond, Va, and are the

The visitors. numbering about 125 strong
rank and file. arrived at the Norfolk
steamer wharf at 80 a. m, and were met
by committees representing the active aud
veteran membership OF the Washington
Light Infantry.
The Provisional Battalion is in command
of Capt e. NJ. Newton, aud is accompanied
by the Colts Band, composed of twenty two
pieces.
1t was arranged that the visitors should
give street parade yesterday afternoon,
but this was unfortunately prevented by
tile heavy rainfall Many Of the young
members Of the battalion, however. did
not allow a little rain To prevent theu
from seeing ali of the city that can be
seen from carriages.
The famous Colts Rand, under the direc-
tion OF Leader John Q. Casey, gave a con
cert in the rotunda OF the Riggs House
during the afternoon, which was greatly
enjoyed ty all who heard it.
In the evening 100 or more of the mepi-
berS and the Officers Of the Washington
Light Infantry assembled at the Riggs
House TO escort the visitors To the the
ater. The column Of march was formed
on Fifteenth street, headed by Capt. Har-
rison Dingman and by Capt. Childs. Of
Company T of the Hartford City Guards.
Next came Colts Rand, then the Mount

GOLD RETURN SHIPMENTS
Initial Movement of Importations

Under the Influence Of Bear
Sugar Raiding.

New York, Sept. 23.-The announcement
that two of the national banks of this
city had arranged fol the shipment -
them of gold to the amount OF 50, 800
900 was the most important ne ws of tile
day. The shipments attracted an unusual
amount OF attention Oh account of the
statements by foreign banking housesw hich
have hitherto been leaders in any import
or export movement of gold that tht.r.
could he no profit In the transactions, which
" would lead to the assumption that the i'm
portatiohs were undertake eli on some special
account. The present importations uay be-,
and probably are a part only OF similar
transa c,ions on mncb larger scale. ami
those enga ged in the business are douht
less basing their calculations on contracts
covering definite period.
The money market was fairly steady
today. At the same time the bank state
ment OF averages of last Saturday showed
surplus holdings OF nearly $40, 900 ,0oGS
and by tie time the statement of October
2 appears some of the gold now ordered
win have arrived here and doubtless ~
that time more win be on the way.
A healthy toae was evident in the deal
ings in the stock market today, though the
course of prices was again some what ir-
regular. A favorable effect on the whole
resulted from the beginning or the in
portarions of gold. and expectations of
large increases in traffic returns for the
