4 SHREWD ITALIAN.
Frank Rose Sells His Stock for $500
 and Skips Out.

Several months ago Frank Rose, an Italian, came to this city from New Orleans and embarked in the fruit business on Main street.
 He occasionally added to his stock by buying new groceries, eonfec- tions, etc., and every one thought him to be very honest and straight forward After paying his bills regularly about town he soon got into the good graces of our mer- chants. His credit was good any where and he certaiLlY took adYan- tage of it.
 A few days ago John Preola, an Italian from Little Rock, came to this city and having about a thous- and dollars in cash, Rose treated him very hospitably. He finally succeeded in persuading Preola to buy his stock.
 Monday night he paid Rose $500 ,or his stock and Rose told him he would come to his place of business She next morning and sign the bill of sale. Rose didn't show up Tues day morning, however. Heskipped from the city Monday night. His destination is still unknown.
 Roses creditors discovered the matter as it stood and immediately issued writs of replevin. The papers were served and now Preola hasn't bacdly any stock left.
 The creditors who succeeded in recovering most ot their goods were the Southern Grocery Co.,, Russell Grocery Co.,, Marsh & Atkinson, J. c. Meyer & Co.,, of this city, and Maxie Meyer of Little Rock. Rose also leaves a number of other per, sonal accounts unpaid.
 Preola is an Italian and can hard ly speak English. He was greatly surprised and excited while the of fcers were removing the replevied goods, as he could not be made to understand the matter.

PINE BLUFF, ARK. FEB,4. lSo'
Gomez Again PoutIng

Old man Gomez has again hied himself to his hammock in the in terior of Cuba to get cured of the sulks. This time he is pouting about the deal made with the Uni ted States for the paymentof Cuban troops. Some months ago Gen. Garcia was sent to Washington as a special representative of Gomez and his followers to negotiate with the administration for the payment of the insurgent army. During the performance of this service Gen. Garcia died in Washing ton, not how ever, until he had negotiated deal with the administration for the pay ment of $100 each to the rank and fie of the Cuban army and larger sums for the officers ranging from $500 to 5000 each. But Gen. Gomez is not pleased with this settlement and therefore he sulks. lie wants more. He wants each soldier to receive all the way from SIS to $36 a month for three years services, and the officers to receive sums aggre- gating from $2,000 to $3,5OO each. For himself Gomez wants the salary of an American lientenant-general or three years services, or $33, 0O0l It is estimated that to comply with his demands would require $57, 900, 000- This leads the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record to write of Gomez as follows:
 s.Gomez was always mercenary. He would not accept the leadership of the insurgent forces in 1895 until he was paid $40, ,000. At the end of the first year, in April, 1896, he retired into the mountains under the plea of i'll health, and refused to take the field until more money was raised for him, but after that his avariee was satisfied by the oppor- tunity offered him of blackmailing planters and other perty-owners in the provinces where he was raid ing. It is not believed that he will be satisfied with anything less than an opportunity to rule as dictator in Cuba if the United States will not pay his price.
 Gomez's attitude is causing Presi- dent Mckinley considerable anxiety The President has sent Rcbt. P. Porter (of census fame) as his special representative to find Gomez in his native Cuban haunts and ascertain just what the old man wants. But Gomez is sly old fox and knows how to make the best of an opportunity, but we opine that he will be willing to accept consid- erably less than $57 ,000, 900 for him self and men before he will let the deal for a little ready cash slip through his wiy old hands.
 Itsis merely play for more, and the old man will doubtless receive enough additional money to pay for his pouting.

Confidence in the value of wheat, corn
and cotton has been shown by the
markets, and at rising prices the
world buys because it has to buy. The
vast supply Of unemployed capital has
been shown impressively, and the new
and startling independence of foreign
money markets fixes attention. The
lumber movement is unusually large
for the season with prices of low
grades sharply advancing. Railroad
earnings and tonnage have shown sur
prising gains. Treasury receipts are
gaining, and a vote on the peace treaty
has been fixed for February 6.
The weak points in the situation
may first be considered. Wool grows
weaker because forced by speculation
year ago to prices which the market
for goods could not sustain and has
sustain ever since. Western bankers
begin to advise speculative holders to
sell. Goods are in much greater de-
mani because prices fairly proper
toned to the reduction of about 10
per cent. in wool since a year ago have
been made in important openings.
The sales of wool are still small, man
ufacturers buying at Philadelphia
where prices are yielding rather than
AT BOSTON where great efforts are made
to sustain them, but the goods move
ment for heavy weights is still disap-
pointing and comparatively slow.
Large recorders for light weights keep
many works employed. Sales for the
week have been 6, 400, 400 lbs. and for
four weeks 22,S99, 200, against 3O,421,-
O7O last year and 26,547, 500 TWO years
ago.
