There was scarcely an office in town today
that did not have the poorest kind of service
this morning. for the storm had played havoc
with all the wires As the result trading
was necessarily limited
London was quiet again today, but on this
side the market opened up and showed con.
siderable strength. Sugar, ii is true, declined
to l32la directly after the opening, but after
ward recovered portion of its loss, and at
noon was firm around 1876. As would be ex-
pected, Sugar is the speculative favorite, and
its friends predict that il will pass 14O before
the present adv ance ceases In speaking Of
Sugar today, Stuart a. Paddock say: "A di-
rector of the Sugar company is authority for
the statement that Sugar ought TO sell at l5J,
and even more, simply on its position div
idend Garner and in view of its possibilities.
No one in Congress, or out of Congress, will
do any thing TO harm this'great American in
dustry. and IL will be treated fairly, to say
the least. At present the Sugar trade Is
Frightening under the general revival of busi-
ness. People who have expected to get lower
sugar have held off until their supplies have
become too low. They have now commenced
TO buy. thus hardening the market by using
up the supplies. The Sugar company is IN an
excellent condition TO meet any sudden activ-
ity in the trade and is at present doing q
very large business"

THE LOCAL STOCK MARKET.
lowing facts in regard to the local stock mar
ket:
The past week in the local market has been
characterized by dullness beyond expectation.
1t had been hoped that tho money paid out in
July dividends would seek re-investment in
home securities, but apparently another use
has been found for this income. Whether this
condition is largely due to the fact that the
hot weather has put people to an unusual ex.
pense in the matter.of summer outings, IL is
hard to say. but the fact remains that very
little money is finding its way into the chan
mel of local securities.
Quotations range very much the same but.
with few transactions recorded, they are
largely nominal. Despite the general ten
dency, however, remarkable advance has
been scored in National Providence Worsted
Mills preferred. Since this stock reached its
low mark, %, last fall, we have steadily ad-
vised its purchase. This week sale at los Is
reported, which is an advance Of 81 points
during the past month. Those who are in Q
position to know the prospects Of this Sc
curity confidently predict $50 or better 40 the
price for this stock four OF five years hence
Following is list of the banks and corpora
tions which have passed or reduced their
July dividends: Fifth National Bank. passed;
Rhode Island National Bank, passed; Ma
tional Bank of North America, reduced one
half; American Screw Company, passed.

men on hand, who were rcady To place
their property in jeopardy for him, but
their combined holdings of real estate
were not equal TO $1,000. ono Of the would
be bondsmen admitted that there was

oath, after which no was again asked If
there was mortgage on his property,
and he then admitted that there was "a
little. How muchY asked Judge
Sweetland. About s400. "Woll, you
won't do, said the Judge and then turn
ing TO Frataduoro, said, You will have
to got some one else. {"
Frataduono told the Judge that he
thought two men would hc enough to go
bail for him, but he was informed that
ono would DO sufficient providing that
one had real estate enough.

CARVER'S BIG OAT CROP.
A TERRELL PLANTER RIVALS THE
RENOWNED CARTER.
Yield of Forty Acre Field Estimated
at 5000 Bushels. Many Have
Viewed the Sight.

The oat crop throughout Terrell
county is unusually fine this year, but
Mr.. A. j. Carver has broken all records
and become formidable rival of gen.
tleman called Carter who has long
had reputation in connection with
oats.
Last week Mr.. Carver harvested a
forty acre field of oats on his farm
three miles south of Dawson, and con-
sentative estimates place the yield at rs
bushels per acre. Finer oats and as
many of them were never before seen
Onlthat much ground in Terrell county,
and numbers of people have gone to the
farm to see them. None who have
seen them have estimated the yield un-
der the figures given above.
Mr.. Carver has had the field photo
graphed and will distribute the pict-
ures as an advertisement of the posi-
bllities of Southwest Georgia farm
lands.
This extraordinary yield of oats il.
Illustrates what Terrell county soil will
do when it is properly prepared and
fortified and the seed put in with
care.
