TaIbott & Palmer,s Grain Letter

By Private Wire from Ware 6 Leland.
 Chicago, August 23.-Wheat-Liverpool closed 1c higher on better milling demand. London firmer, 1ac higher. Paris wheat and flour centimes higher; Antwerp un- changed. Rains still prevail in the north west and are become a serious matter. Blu reau crop report speaks of injury in the northwest A prominent Great Northern official says the crop will be 10000 900 to 2O,- 0OO.OO0 bushels under last year in Mlnne- sota and the Dakotas. Illinois board of agriculture says the state will have to import 70 GOO bushels. The same condi- tions also apply to Indiana and Michigan. The movement in the northwest has fallen down on account of rainy weather. Clear ances 500,000 bushels. Ten loads reported worked for export at the seaboard, but we cannot confirm; 1SS.000 bushels cash wheat worked here today, and we understand there is good demand for No. red win ter and spring wheat, also rye at the sea- board. Minneapolis flour sales yesterday were 25,0O0 barrels. There was a fair ing in an advance which was not wholly sustained. The strength was due to better cables and bullish reports from the north west A large short interest was covered. We feel friendly to wheat on any recession, believing present position justifies higher values later on.
 Corn-Has moved within 0 narrow range although there has been a large cash de- mand. both here and at the seaboard. There was some reports of too much hot weather in Kansas and Ohio, but on the whole crop prospects are favorable
 Oats have been very dull. A large busi- ness .las been done for export, not only in this cereal but in barley.

Oats closed a shade higher for September and May but a shade lower for December. Pro- visions closed unchanged to 10c higher.

Cotton Letter

By Leased Wire to T. c. Hewlett Aegenr.
 New York, August 23.-The cotton mar ket showed some strength during the en- tire session and prices ruled steady owing to the reports of the continued drouths in the Texas cotton regions and rather a brisk speculative demand in Liverpool. Futures were steady and opened from to points higher for 5anuary option thah the close of last nights session. The weather conditions throughout the cotton belt generally are unchanged with scarcely any rain, which is badly needed for the development of backward crops. The de- mand for dry goods and the recent ad- vance in this market is having good eff fleets upon the future market and the spot market continues steady at unchanged prices. Taking the situation as a whole. cotton looks better and We may expect con siderable advance at any time.

Atlanta, Dec S.-(speciaD.-gIt Is an
nounced here to-day that deal has been
cousummaled for the purchase of three
large fertilizer factories, heretofore owned
by John NJ. Green of this city. TO the Viz
ginia-Carolina Chemical Company of
Charleston. The value of the properties,
which are located at Atlanta Americas
and Social Circle, is put at $500 ".
s T. Morgan. president of the Virginia
Carolina company. and w. r. Chisolm of
the same company conducted the deal, Mr..
Green being represented by a committee of
his creditors. who recently met and agreed
to give him time to meet his obligations
instead of proceeding in bankruptcy
against him.
MIR. Green's business troubles have been
known in the commercial world for some
time. and The sale of these properties is
part Of the plan adopted to adjust his af-
fairs Three hundred tons a day is the
capacity of the three factories sold
The purchasers get In addition to the
plants all the goods now on hand ready
for the spring trade, which amounts to APP
proximately 100000. by the requirement OF
the Green factories, the Virginia Carolina
Company has brought under ats control
eight of the nineteen fertilizer factories In
Georgia. and now owns all told thirty
three factories i'm this state, the Carolinas
Virginia and Baltimore, with a total ca
pacity of over a half million tons. The
concern will thus make about half the fer
tilizers manufactured and sold in the
South, and one-third of that sold in the
whole country
This consolidation has been effected with

with the purchase of the Conner Huh a

that time the absorption has gone stead
lily forward until now this concern is one
of the most extensive corporations in the
country.

Oakland to-day, breaking all previous
records from the mile and a quarter up to

Buckwa. together with Daisy F, velose
and Wheel of Fortune went to the post
in the Athenian Club selling stakes, value
$780, over distance of "a miles. Daisy
F was made favorite and was to 5, while
Buckwa went 10 the post as good as 2

the lead and was never headed.
At the mile, which was run in 1:4134 he
had an advantage of ten lengths and was
running under a strong pull. The mile
and a half was made in 2:3219 which is a
quarter of a second less than Lamplight-
er's record for the same distance. At the
mile and three-quarters Buckwa was lead
ing by half dozen lengths and made the
distance in 2:5S24 one half a second under
Ben Holidays record. At the two miles

portant meeting tonight, at which deals
Of general public interest would be set
died, no such meeting was held.
However, the base ball news brought
here from the East by Director Dreyfus
was made known by that gentleman to-
night, and it throws much additional light
on the eight-club league scheme recently
limited al in New York at the meeting of
the base ball magnates. Mr.. Dreyfus says
several offers have been made for the star
players of the Louisville club The con-
sideration of the dea.s and their settle
ment will be made at the annual meeting
of the stockholders next week.
More important than this, however, is
the statement unequivocally made for the
first time, that the eight-club league
scheme is a reality. ana that its consum-

NEW FACES WILL BE THERE.
CHANGES IN STATE DEPARTMENTS
TO BE MADE TOMORROW.

Col. Byrd Succeeds Col. Obear. ana
Hon. E. II. Brown Takes the Place
of Col. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Akin
sons SON to be OIL Inspectors
Clerk and Draw the SaIary-Much
DisnPpOin tment Caused by This
Proceeding.
Atlanta, Dec. S.-(SpeeiaD. There will
be several important changes in the offices
az the capitol on Monday next. Several
old faces VIII be missing in the depart
ments, and several new ones will bob up
smiling in their places.
The most important of these changes
will be in the office of assistant adjutant
general. and the position of special attor-
ney of the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
In the former Col. w. G. Obear will re-
tire and Col Phil c. Byrd will take his
place. In the latter, Col. w. A. Wimbsh
goes out and Hon. Ed. Brown comes N.
One of the changes in office that has
caused a good deal of gossip about the
capitol is that of the oil inspector of At
lanta. There was a hot fight for this place
which pays close on TO $1,000 year and
requires no arduous attention. Among the
host of applicants were several men of
prominence in state politics. When Com
missioner of Agriculture Stevens shook
the plum tree, Mr.. c. p. Byrd of Atlanta,
got the fruit. He was not an, applicant
for it, and when he was named, the others
were thunderstruck, for Mr.. Byrd, besides
not being an applicant. has never taken
any interest whatever in politics and was
not personally known to the commission
err of agriculture up to the time the APP
pointment was made
VIII Go to Young Atkinson.
It soon appeared, however, that Mr.. Byrd
had been nominally appointed only. as the
beneficial interest in the place goes to j.
p. Atkinson, the son of the ex-governor.
Young Atkinson was slated for the place
some time ago, but the point was made
on him that he was not yet of legal age,
and could not therefore hold the office. In
this emergency it was arranged to issue
the commission to his father-in-law Mr..
Byrd and give the young man the benefits
of the position by having him made clerk
to the Inspector.
Some of those who were disappointed
have been making the air blue with their
talk, and as a result, it is practically GER
tain that the fight on the present scale of
oil inspectors salaries which came near
being successful last year win be renew
ed a. the next session of the legislature.
Several other Changes.
Capt. j. " Cain will be missing from
the office of the Secretary of State on
Monday rretring to make way for his sue
cessor, and there has been a report cur
rent for some time that Secretary Doug
lass GIessner of the prison commission
would also vacate on the first Of the new
year, though up to the present, nothing
definite Is obtainable on this head at the
Office of the prison commission or else
where.
In the state treasurers office there is a
change in the position of cashier, John A.
Speer, who has filled that place for sew
eral years, retiring on account of IN health.
He is succeeded by c. T. Turner of Troupe
county, son of former state Senator Tur-
ner.

WHY FOXES ARE SCARCE.
The Animals Cnrcnsses Have Been
round In Quantities in Mine shafts.

From The Philadelphia Times.
Phoenixville, Pa, Dec. 2S-For some
time past foxes have seemed to become
scarce in this region and the fox hunters
have worried a good deal over the matter,
as they feared their sport would come 10
an end. Some of the hunters seemed to
think that the foxes were driven out Of
the neighborhood because so many of their
retreats had been dug open.
The cause of the foxes disappearing so
rapidly has just been discovered. In
Charlestown and Schuylkill townships
Just south OF here, IN the path Of most Of
the fox hunters, is a range of hills honey
combed with abandoned lead mines, many
of which are very deep and fun Of water.
Tho foxes, when hard pressed by the
hounds, usually take TO these hills and
seek shelter in the mine holes, but they
never come out again, for they either fall
INTO the water or else become entrapped in
the steep shafts 20 die One shaft filled
with water was found to contain the car
casses of three dead foxes, and no doubt
other shafts would reveal the same. Doz-
ems Of hunted foxes have no doubt met
their death in these Old mines. and az
there are many OF the shafts among che
hills the hunters are greatly worried about
the matter Of the mines in order TO pre-
serve the foxes for their sport.
