FURRY IN COTTON TIES.
The Market Already Advanced and
Likely to Go Higher.


There has been quite a furry in the cot
ton tie market during the last few days
The price has suddenly advanced and is
likely to go higher. The situation is about
the same as it has been every year about
the time the actual demand arrives for
immediate use. OF late, however dealers
throughout the country have taken ad-
vantage of the low prices early in the sea-
son and have reaped a good profit when
the time came.
This season the American Steel Hoop
Company the controllers of the entire
output of the American manufactures,
sold throughout the cotton belt, large lots
of ties on a basis of 80 to 90 cents. The
price began TO advance recently and those
who were fortunate In getting in the mar
ket early made a good profit.
The factors in Savannah do not handle
ties in large quantities as merchants In
the country buy just as low as they do.
There Is one firm in Savannah. however,
that deals extensively in cotton ties and
supplies the most of the city merchants.
The price quoted al Savannah at pres
ent is 50 cents for large lots and Sl05 for
small lots. These prices are about the
average asked throughout the cotton belt.
The manufacturers, however have no.
titled their customers that If they need
any more ties the price will be SIP. This
price is subject to change and. in fact, Is
expected to advance farther The explain
alton given by the manufacturers controll-
ing the market, for the sudden advance
in the price, Is that during the early part

GOES TO COURT OF APPEALS.
Attorneys Want Compensation Judge
spcer Refused to Allow Them.


spcer Refused to Allow Them.
An appeal from the decision of Judge
Speer, in reversing the award of Master in
Chancery George w, Owens In the matter
of compensation TO be allowed ]. w. Weed
and w. d. Harden, c. N. West and L. II.
McLaws, the last three copartners as Har-
den, West & McLaws, was filed in the
United States Court yesterday.
1t viii be remembered that this was one
of the interventions in the Central litiga-
ton. The intervenors asked to be com
pensated by the court for their services in
bringing into the fund for distribution
among the creditors large sums of money
which il was claimed had been made avail
able through their efforts. This conten-
ton was based on the fact that they. as
counsel for John S. Tilney, one of the cred
itors. had first raised the point that the
Southwestern Railroad was Liable jointly
instead OF as surety, upon the tripartite
bonds of the Central and mad asked for the
appointment of a coreceiVer with Mr.. H
Nj. Conner This application, it was con-
tended. had resulted in the appointment OF
Mr.. r.. SOmers Hayes.
The award of the master denied the cor
RICHNESS of the contention in regard 10 the
bonds, saying that il appeared from the ev-
idpnCe that this point had UrSt been made
by the Central Trust Company of New
York in It's answer to the bill of COM
plant. The master was at loss TO es-
innate the advantages that had accrued to
the creditors through the appointment of
the coreceiver. but he nevertheless allowed
the interveuors 5000 which he thought
was ample.
Exceptions TO this report were 1led
with Judge Speer by both the intervenors
and the defendants, the former because
they thought the award had been made
TOO little and the latter because they
considered it too much, Indeed
the defendants could not be brought TO
believe that the intervenors were enti-
tied to anything at all and scoffed at
The idea that their services had added
a dollar to the available fund for DIS
tributlon or that the services of the CO.
receiver were Of any value to the cred
itors. Judge Speer took this view of the
matter and a decree was entered disal-
lowing the masters award and denying
the interveuors anything at all.
1t is to this decree that an appeal has
been taken. The appeal from the de-
clslon OF the Circuit Court is to the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans
and the case has been set for a hearing
on Aug. % The appeal was allowed by
Judge Speer, upon the motion of Mr.
Waller G. Charlton, solicitor for the in
tCrVCuOrS.

Offers With Strings to Them.

1t now transpires that the offer made
by Col. Thomas Fletcher and Col. John
s. Braddoclk to allow the state to quarry
granite from their lands for the new
capitol free of charge, cannot be ac-
cepted by the commissioners, as the
owners of the quarries limited the free
use thereof to two years. With the
small amount of money available, it
would be impossible to get out sufli-
cient granite to complete the building
in two years time. There is an abun-
dance of granite, however. near Little
Rock, and the commissioners will have
no trouble in securing the material, pro-
baby without cost, except the cost of
quarrying. Mr.. William Dabbs, who
owns granite lands in Pulaski coun,y
as easy to get at as these of Messrs
Braddock and Fletcher, offers the COM
missioners all the granite they want,
without limit to the time in which to
get it out.

Cotton All Planted,

Following is the general summary of
the crop report issued by the depart

Tor the week ending May 80, 1899:
Heavy rains greatly damaged farm
ing operations. Cotton is nearly all
planted, except in overhowed districts,

ern tier OF counties, where the weather
mas been more favora BILE for the growth
ana cultivation of cotton, the early
painted is beginning to limb and
squares are farming Corn nearly all
planted and up. The stand in some
sections is good, in others it is only
fair, being very grassy. Wheat and
oats are generally good, but rust has
set IN in some localities. Some wheat
oats and clover about ready to harvest.
only few reports relative to fruit re-
ceived and they were not favorable to
that crop. Apples continue to drop off
the trees. Cut-worms are disappearing
in many sections. Irish potatoes. as a
rule, are doing fairly we'll. They are
too far advanced to be damaged to any
very great extent by the bugs, still
there are some complaints of damage
by these insects
