a. cent for the pound. The continental ex-
changes on London were at the same time
rising quite sharply. and the open market
ing tendency. All of this was in line with
the active war preparations reported from
London and showed the effort of the Brit
ism financial center to call home its out
standing money resources. Not having any
outstanding credits on balance against the
United States, London sold our securities
freely, with the same result. The midday
reaction In the foreign wheat markets was
the only feature that did not point to
threatening developments, and the later
recovery and the continuance of large de-
mand in American markets for export
counteracted this The manipulative rise
In Tobacco continued and helped to sus-
tain the price of Sugar.
The bond market was active to degree
ana weakened in sympathy with stocks,
although the New York money market con-
tlnued easy, In spite of stringency abroad.
Total sales, $2,3l0.0c0
Government bonds were unchanged.
The highest prices of the season were
reached in the wheat pit today. December
sold up to 77Ac during the regular session.
and reached 7Sc on the curb. The advance
followed weak opening, and was based
on sharp drop In consolS, and late ad-
vance in Liverpool cables, resulting from
a war scare. Local traders and foreign
houses sold heavily around the opening
and were caught In the subsequent rise
There were export orders In the market
but they were affected by the big jump In
prices, and nearly ninety-three loads were
taken at the port The visible supply In
creased 250600 bushels, where an increase
of fully 1,500O00 bushels had been expected
This was considered significant, as show

The evenhess of this trade is remarkable.

Damage to Cotton Crops

reports IRON various portions OF Arkan-
sas, published early in the week, indicate
great damage to the cotton crop by excess
sive rains. In the bottom lands the cotton
is reported as sprouting in the bolls, and
the bolls are rotting rapidly. In some To-
calities the crop, it is stated, is almost en-
trely ruined.
Colorado's gold yield for 1893 promises to
outdo its last years record. The temporary
setback to CALIFORNIA; gold product by the
drought OF 1898 may prove of ultimate bene-
fit, as the enforced idleness of the stamps
was utilized in extensive repairs and bet
terments, so that at the beginning of this
rainy season the mills, and, in many in.
stances, the mines, are in better shape for
satisfactory gold output than they had been
Colorado calculates that in 1897 81 per
cent OF the mining returns went;to the in
vestor. 80 per cent to the miner and 27 per
cent to the mills and smelters and transpor-
tation companies.
Silver's highest and lowest London quo
tation in 1891 was in February-46%d and

A colored man from Newport News
boarded Hampton and Old Point car
at the Novelty switch, in Phoebus, at
pose Of riding to Barnes corner. When
Conductor Richardson asked him for
fare he refused to pay. saying that the
trip was not long enough to warrant
the collection of five cents. The dis
lance is nearly half a mile Captain
Richardson told the man he would
have to pay or get off. whereupon ne
his hand in his hip pocket
in manner that convinced
the conductor that he intended
to shoot Before he had the time to
carry out his purpose, however, the
psucky railroader had settled the
difficulty in his own favor. The ne
gro handed over his nickel and was
put off at Barnes corner.
The mans effort to beat his way was
probably stimulated by the more sue
cessful attempt of negro named
Henry Orange to avoid the payment
Of his fare on Conductor Richardson's
car few nights ago. Orange is a
giant In stature. He INDUCED in vio-
lent and unbecoming language on
Conductor Richardson's car and vas

AT the meeting of the Board of Super
viSors yesterday County -SsiiCIK Ffar-
ry Booker laid before the body let
visors this morning County Clerk Har-
ry Booke7laid before the body a let
ter received from c. II. White & Co.
Of 81 Nassau street, New York, in
which they manifest an unwillingness
to take the thirty-year per cent.
gold bonds, amounting to $4,000, or
this county, to be issued for the pur-
pose of raising funds for the erection
Of a new jail. unless they are assured
Of the county bonds provided for for
school purposes. The New York bank
ers agreed some time ago to take the
Jail bonds at los, and Chairman Hew-
ms supposed that the matter had been
settled. With this understanding con-
tracts were awarded and preparations
were made to begin work on the build
ing.
But now the bidders seem unwilling
to hold to their agreement unless the
school bonds, amounting to $lo.0OO, are
guaranteed to them upon the same
terms upon which they were to receive
the Jail bonds. The reason they give
for this backdown is that the school
bonds may be sold elsewhere for less
than 1O5. which would result in dam
age to their investment After dis
cussing the matter, Captain Hewins
was instructed to write Messrs. White
&. Co. that both the jail and school
bonds will be turned over TO them at
1O5. A reply is expected at once and in
case it is not as favorable as the SUI
peryisors think it should be Mr.. S. e.
Bickford, the representative of .Hamp-
ton district. may go to New York: The
Board of Supervisors will tolerate no
longer delay and If White & Co. do
not want the bonds it will be easy
work to dispose of them elsewhere

the name of Capt. Charlie Hewins. the
old president of the Board Of Supervi-

denied, the denial coming from Captain
Hewins himself. He says that under
no circumstances would he consent to
be a candidate against Treasurer
Jones.

YOU may say positively that / am MT

I would not enter the race with Jesse
