Sea Island Cotton--The market is steady
There were sales of 8, 102 bags for the week
ending last Friday. While the receipts
are about 10000 bags more than they were
this time last year, the movement this year
is a month in advance of what it was last
year This is the result of the drought
The movement would probably have been
much larger had it not been for the delay
caused by scarcity of bagging, due 10

Nothing developed TO change the situs-

unchanged. Sales were light the total
for the day being only II bales. Buyers
were not eager for supplies, and their in

and that the road will not be run through
to make the connection with Pendleton
by the plan mentioned. 81
His information comes from no less au.
thoritatve source than c. W. Nibley,
president Of the Sumpter Valley road.
Mr.. Nibley was asked regarding
the report, and said In reply that
It would not be profitable move on the
eompany's part to build any further into
the mining district. II Is ore shipping, In
connection with mining, that brings rev.
enue into the company's Golfers. Simply
to carry supplies to camp will not afford
sufficient traffic to make the extension
pay. In the Granite region, the mines
are Of such character that the ore Is
crushed on the ground, stamp mills being
operated, and there would be but little ore
to ship. This Is good enough reason for
the company to abandon all thought Of
building the extension.
Mr.. Nibley, however, did state that the
company would probably soon, and Ger.
tainly sometime, build spur track to
Durkee, from point about six miles this
side Of Sumpter, for the purpose Of tap.

and while here gave assurance to several

not be entirely the truth; but II can be re.

New York World -..
A new trust has been formed 1t has
not been incorporated under the attrac-
tive monopolistic statutes of Jersey yet
and will not be-
Representatives, puppies-form ths
product of the monopoly, and the head
and front of 1t is Miss Grace Reed, of No
422 West Twenty-seventh street
Very quietly but with relentless COM
mercial persistency, Miss Reed has been
laboring to accomplish a corner on the
Maltese puppies as a foundation of The
monopoly. Miss Reed believes she has
effected the corner, and, moreover, has
done 1t more thoroughly than Joe Letter
engineered his famous wheat deal.
The Idea Of cornering the supply of Nal
tese puppies was suggested to Miss Reed
some time ago by the fact that the Van
derbilts and Astors had adopted the Nal
tese terrier as family pets. 1t Immediately
occurred to Miss Reed that it would not
be long before all the rest of the fashion
ables would be looking around for the
same style of dog. to be conventionally IN
line with the fad set by the powerful
leaders.
Maltese pups that formerly had a strict
market value OF S25 are now quoted 1T
$50, as a preliminary result of the corner,
and the quotations are expected to reach
500. The tone of the market in Maltese
pups is firm, with active trading and an
upward tendency.
Miss Reed has her kennels on a farm
near Hampstead, L. I. She believes that
she has thoroughly cleaned up all the
available supply of Maltese pups How
many she has gathered into her corner
she, with characteristic business shrewd-
ness, declines to state. saying that it is
part of a well-directed business concern
not to divulge the extent of its resources.

MIR. Mckinley Pointed Out Spots
That He Cannot Forget, Where
the Civil War Was Waged-Great
Crowd Greets the Chief Executive
at Winchester Given a Cordial
Greeting All Along the Line.
WASHINGTON, May 2O-The president
and Mrs. Mckinley, with the friends who
accompanied them, reached Washington
at $50 today, over the B. & o. railroad.
The stay of twelve days at Hot Springs
was one almost entirely of rest, the only
break being a days run to Natural
Bridge, Va, week ago. The outing has
been of great benefit to the president,
and he resumes his official duties thor
oughly refreshed and invigorated.
The party left Hot Springs last night,
and today travelled slowly through the
Shenandoah valley, rich in beautiful
scenery and points of historic interest.
Thirty-five years ago Mr. Mckinley, as
assistant adjutant general on the staff Of
Gen. Crook, marched through this same
valley, participating in the heavy fight
ing which occurred during Sheridan's
famous raid.
Today the president went over this
same ground, and from the rear platform
of the special train which carried him
recalled with great distinctness the places
which saw SO much bloodshed. Though
the citizens of various towns through
which they passed had but little warning
of the presidents coming, the railroads
and stations were lined with people anX-
ious to catch a glimpse of the chief of
the nation, or to warmly, grasp his hand
where brief stops were made. Men and
women of different colors, some of the
latter bearing babes in their arms, Re
publicans and Democrats, Union soldiers
and x-Confederates, joined in the cheers
and shouts of welcome. Flags were waved
| and flowers showered upon him, and If
| there is any bitterness remaining over the
| civil strife there was nothing in the en-
! thusiasm shown today to indicate 1t.
| From Staunton to Harpers Ferry it was
| the same story.
The first point where stop of any
length was made was Harrisonburg, Va,
| where a large crowd awaited the arrival
of the presidential train. A gaily cos
tuned band struck up a march, and the
president unable to Withstand the impor-
tunitieS of the local committee Wh:ch
waited upon him, left the car with the
| gentlemen of the party and drove tc
| Court House square, and, after being In
troduced by Col. Rohrer, spoke briefly

tie of Fisher hill Travelling Passenger
| Agent Dudrow, of the Baltimore & Ohio

Mr. President, I expect you find 1t

another old fellow hobbled up to the
| platform, and said: II want to shake
hands with you, and 1 am an old rebel,
