Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-10-05

It's easy to find bargains here.
This page isn't big enough for a
mere list of the good things GO
ing for little prices. Here are a
few:

PUMPKINS ARE SCARCE
IN ROCK ISLAND COUNTY.

There ia every reason for the oPin-
ion that in this immediate portion OF
Uncle Sans free domain the NoVem-
Der holiday will carry with it an air
of supreme sadness this year. Not
that the country at large has not
been sufficiently blessed nor that this
community has suffered in the gen,
erai distribution of nat ures good anu
necessary things. But Que thing wlll
be missed when the grdudchiIuren
gather around the patriarchal ooaro
with it's load of turkey, can berry
sauce, mashed potatoes and other
good things. Many longing eyes VIII
contemplate with silent reverence the
spot wherein the pumpkin pie was
wont in other DAYS TO cast big quar-
ter section smiles upon the hungry
guests.
For it is generally conceded that
the pumpkin crop hereabout Is
mighty slim. There were some in
deed that pulled through in spite OF
the adverse conditions and now may
be seen as a doleful reminder OF what
might have been. The few that have
appeared in the Rock Island market
have exhibited q decidedly downcast
appearance and when surveyed by
prospective purchasers have invaria-
bly, manifested q tendency to hide
behind the market baskets or lose
their identity by mixing up with the
few prim, old-maidish watermelons
that are left on the market. The
pumpkins first cousin, the squash,
might be used as an inferior substi-
tute, but unfortunately. it too has
been affected by an unkind season.
Other communities may have pump
kins in plenty, but unfortunately
again the fruit has been so
constructed that too much of
its interior anatomy is mere air to
render it an economical article of
commerce in the raw state and canned
pumpkin Pass the mince pie. please.

AGREEMENT HOPED FOR
wooDwoRKERs AND EMPLOYERS
Their Representatives Confer Amt.
cably-Carpenters Say They Are
Gaining in Their Contest.

The main interest in the labor strike
situation is now centered in the wood
workers and the millwork manufacturers
A committee from the Woodworkers'
union and representatives Of four of the
union manufacturers were in conference
last night, and it is believed that a pre-
llminary foundation was laid for an
amlcable agreemnt covering the year be-
ginning May l. The session lasted two
hours, and 1t was stated that it was very
satisfactory. Neither side would make
any definite statement of the results of
the conference. 1t Is understood that the
main point at issue was the reduction of
the working day from ten to nine hours
as demanded by the union.
The belief is that the union 1ahe1 ar.
rangement will be continued The manu-
facturers are fearful of the effect of a
shorter working day. Already they are mt
to great efforts to meet the competition Of
the Wisconsin concerns, who are hammered
by practically no labor restrictions.
The results of last nights conference
will be reported to the woodworkers' union
at a meeting tonight.
The locked out carpenters say thev ara
still gaining ground. Twelve additional
contracts held by members of the Master
Builders association; it was said at Iahor
headquarters, were released TODAY and
the jobs turned over to union men to
complete.

A 2ND AVE. CORNER
Dr.. W. H. Leonard Sells, but the
Details Are Lacking.
S. 7. MCKNIGHT SUPPOSED BUYER
S70,OOO-Second Ave. Corners
I'm Demand.

IL was rumored on the street yesterday
that Sumner I. Mcknight had purchased
the old Leonard corner at Second avenue
5 and Fifth street. This property cor
responds with the Boutell corner 90 First
avenue. The consideration is not known
but it is understood to be in the neigh
borhcod of $3.50 with considerable lati-
tude either way. The lot is 821kx132 feet.
While confirmation of this news is lack
ing, 1t appears probable on its face. DR..
W. H. Leonard has deal on for the prop
erty and Mr.. Mcknight appears to be the
most likely purchaser. He recently bought
lot S21ax132 fet on Second avenue ad-
Joining the Deering corner at Fourth
street and Second avenue for about
SAC, 900.
In fact, all of his recent purchases have
been in that locality. The Leonard corner
would give Mr.. Mcknight the half block
adjoining the Deering corner on Second
avenue, between Fourth and Fifth streets,
and It is more than likely that he is the
buyer
The Second avenue S corners are about
cleaned up by this purchase. There are
corners left but none of them is in the
market, The corner occupied by the You
mans hotel across from the New York
Life is owned by Mr.. Youmans. of Wiscon
sin who has placed a prohibitive price
upon the property. The remaining corner
at Fifth street and Second avenue. cores
ponding with the Orson corner, is owned
by Sol Smith Russell, and a big price has
been set upon it.
At Fourth street and Second avenue S
are the Walton and Deering corners,
neither of which can be picked up easily.
Then there is the Barber corner and the
corner owned by the Connecticut Mutual
Insurance company, which does not want
to SELL
At Sixth street and Second avenue, the
old Hawkins corner is owned by Deer
ing Of Chicago Across the street is the
Brackett corner, recently purchased by
Mr.. Mcknight. The remaining corners
are owned respectively by a New Hamp-
shire Savings bank and Albert Johnson
Of Minneapolis. and they are not in the
market.
Mr.. Mcknight appears to have got the
the only good thing left in that locality.

IN THE FRONT RANK
Minneapolis Butter and Egg Prices
Equal New York's.
DESPITE DIFFERENcE1N FREIGHT
COndition-MaIk ket Is
Firm.

Minneapolis to-day bears the distinc-
tion of being the best butter and egg
market in the country in point of prices.
The New York market, which Is the in
dicator, quotes extra creamery butter at
21 cents and eggs at IL cents. Mime
apolis is paying the same prices. There
should be a difference of cents between
Minneapolis and New York for transpor-
tation At no other point in the country
do these conditions rule. F. o. Tilton Of
the Tilton Produce company says:
There are several reasons for the high
prices ruling in the local butter and egg
market. This market depends upon the
northwestern farmer for it's supply. The
farmer has been busy for the past few
weeks and has not been taking produce
to market. Then the roads have not
been Of the best, that also restricting the
supply. Furthermore, the demand for
eggs for storage has been large. The
creameries for the greater part have
eastern connections on which they de-
pend all through the season. The east
ern market has opportunity for dispos-
ing of butter that interior towns do not
have. Notwithstanding the fact that the
butter supply has grown more limited
during the past few weeks and that the
cfeameries have been able to obtain Just
as good, and even better, prices here at
home, they have not been disposed to
break their regular trade connections in
the bigger market for a temporary ad-
vantage at home. Minneapolis prices,
taking transportation charges into ac-
count, have been cents higher than
those Of New York, which puts it at the
top OF. the list, and the local market is
still firm, awaiting heavier receipts
