GRAIN REcEIPrs IMPROVE.

j. j. Groseclose. commissioner OF the
Galveston freight bureau went around to-
day to each of the delegates to the late
Transmlssissippl congress to urge that a
meeting be held soon for the purpose of
formulating a statement embodying the
views of the delegates as to the Importance
of the congress The statement will also
contain full Information OF Galveston's
facilities for handling the commerce OF
the great Northwest IT will show the
increase Of shipping here, the method OF
doing business and the increase of wharf
and terminal facilities
Instead of returning direct from Wichita
Mr.. Groseclose went to EmpOria and Kan
sas City to look into the matter OF grain
shipments. The receipts of grain at Cal
weston have been very light for some time
past an average OF only few cars a day
being received He found the receipts at
KanGas City to be something like eighty
Ave cars i. day Mr.. Groseclose has put on
foot an inquiry as to where this grain
goes and why it is not coming to the gulf
ports.
This shows how clearly trade needs
watching TO be retained. The grain re-
ceipts here today, however, amount to
sixty nine cars, The port should be re-
ceiying about that much every day.

James Scanlon Arrested in Wilkes
Barre by Marshal Lowry.

Deputy United States Marshal Clark
Lowry arrested James Scanlon, in
Wilkes-Barre on Thursday on n charge
of passing counterfeit coins and the
latter is now incarcerated in the coun-
ty Jail of Luzerne county awaiting trial
on the charge.
Complaints had lately been received
by the marshal to the effect that coun-
terfeit silver dollars were being passed
on several merchants in Wilkes-Barre.
He went to the latter city on Thursday
and learned that Scanlon was sus-
pected OF being the guilty party. He
learned his whereabouts and arrested
him on the street.
Scanlon made quite a resistance but
was finally handcuffed and brought
before United States Commissioner
Hahn who held him in $1,000 bail for
his appearance at the next term Of
United States court. Several of the
bogus dollars were found in his possess
sion.
They are a fairly good imitation of
the genuine dollar, the principal differ
ence being a lack of weight. Marshal
Lowry believes that the counterfeits
were made by a gang who were lately
convicted in Pittsburg Of the crime
and who are now serving sentences.
