THE COLONEL IN ASHLAND.
Failed to Work His Scheme on Ran
dolph-aIacon College.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.

ASHLAND, VA, August 2l.-About a
week ago man apparently sixty years
old came here ostensbly to make prepa-
rations for entering his son in college. He
interviewed Captain Irby, the secretary
and treasurer, as to the probable costs of
a session and finally decided to make a
deposit of two hundred dollars with Capt.
1rby to be used by the son. He was after
wards seen with a check for two hundred
and fifty dollars, and it is supposed that
his intentions We're to tender this check
to the Ceptain and request the difference
in currency.
Captain Irby had looked upon the man
from the start with suspicion and had
laid a nice plan to bag him if he had at
tempted crooked work SO far as is known
the only victims of his visit here We're his
landlady and his livery man, to whom he
failed to pay his bills. The man, who
claimed to be a Kentucky Colonel and a
good Methodist brother, paradoXical as
that may seem, left this morning on an
early train for Richmond. He spent much
of his time, while here. in visiting many
of the historical places in the county.

tomorrow will say:
Contrary trade currents still give an ap-
pearance of irregularity to the ent.re 81
uation, but good and unfnEoranie M
fuences conspire to bring about sort OF
balance which accords well with the
weather conditions and the particular sea
son of the year. If clenrinss returns are
to be regarded. the tide of trade was ABOUT
at its ebb last week, but it is well known
that clearings rarely. except in times OF
speculative excitement, reflect present con-
ditions.
In the iron trade the corner has nppar-
emily been turned for the better, and there
is a perceptbe Improvement in the jobbinS
demand ut leading Western markets
Prices too, are steady, the few decreases
noted being largely due TO improved con-
ditions particularly of corn and cotton
crops Despite the reports which have pic
tured the corn crop as heavily shortened
by hot winds, the reports to Bradstreet's
from Nebraska, Kansas City and st.
Louis are, as a whole, quite encouraging.
COTTON LOWER.
The lowered price of cotton is largely due
TO the arrival of needed rains in the South
Atlantic States
In the list of unfavorabe features. holt
day quiet in rnnny lines is notable al the
large Eastern centres. although some I'M
provement in dry-Soods jobbing is reported
at several points. In the textiles trade.
quiet in cotton goods is still notable. and
the spring season for mems wear woollens
declined preceptihly. Raw wool is quiet
and the manufacturers are buying only
to fill orders actually booked. Raw cotton
is at a deadlock crop uncertainties and
extremely small supplies being balanced
by the less favorable outlook for the man
ufactured goods.
TRAFFIC FALLS OFF.
Reports are common of a falling off in
traffic on leading Eastern railroads now
being noted, but certainly nothing of this
is reflected in the gross earnings of leading
railroads for the second week of August
All in all the trade situation may be said
to lack snap, but there is little appearance
of weakness, and the fall trade outlook is
regarded as hopeful.
Western trade advices are relatively most
optimistic. The Missouri corn crop will be
IN average one, and Illinois very large
