LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Improving from Day to Day,
with steady Prices.

To say that the volume of trade is up to ex-
pectations in all lines would be erroneous. but
in many lines 1t is quite satisfactory. while
In others il is distinctly disappointing. The
dry goods houses are doing more business. but
not in the volume expected after a dull Feb
ruary and early March. The leather market
is less active, and on some descriptions prices
went off yesterday 1 cent a pound. Hides con-
tinue dull and prices are weak. Provisions are
active and prices advancing In tendency. The
same is true OF iron and steel products, and of
most articles in the drug line. Grocers are
very busy, and prices. except on corees. are
firm. Confectioners are having a good trade at
unchanged prices. On Commission row con-
siderable business was done yesterday. Apples
are not selling as well as a month ago, while
oranges. il choice fruit-and most of the re-
ce:pts are choice-are selling better than a
month ago. as are bananas and lemons. Little
good maple sugar IL yet offered. Irish potatoes
are in good supply and are moving slow at easy
prices. Sweet potatoes also are finding a slow
market. Cabbage and onions are in good re-
The local grain market is a little more active
than last week. but still far below the average
movement OF the last week of March. In con-
sideration of the prices prevailing the light

Ghey were lodged In jail with the
other suspects who had been arrested

under the hi.l about quarter of
mile from town and hanged them.
They then fired at least five hundred

or arrived just as the mob was return

addressed large crowd.

there in time he would have prevented

on the evening train.
Jim Lane was brought In just as the
mob was dispensing. ii is not known
what further work the mob will do, but
there are many rumors afloat. Some
say three or four more negroes living
in the Taliaferro nelghborhood will be
lynched tonight, and it is feared by
some that one white man In that COM

hoped, however, now that the mob has
done away with the worst ones, 1t will
allow the court to investigate and bring
the guilty ones to justice.

THE SCHLEY COURT.
No Modification of the Precept-The
Vacancy Not Filled.

WASHINGTON. August 1.-The Navy
Department has refused to accede to Ad-
miral Schieys suggestion that the Ian
guage in the NTH specification of the pre-
cept to the court of inquiry be modified.
The admiral in his letter challenges
that specification which states as fact
that he had disobeyed order and suggest
ed that 1t be modified. The department
in it's reply declines to make the
suggested modification on the ground that
according TO the official records Admiral
Schley himself acknowledged that he had
dlsobeyed orders. The disobedience of or
wers was an established fact, whether
unwillingly or willingly.
The vacancy caused by Rear Admiral
Kimberlys application to be relieved has
not yet been filled.
