MODERN PLACE
Of REFRESHMENT
There Has Been Five Thousand
Dollars in improvements at
KirkWood's Place.

Mr.. II. 3. Kirkwoods handsomely re-
modelled lunch room at No 1910 East
Main Street. upon which over 5000
worth Of improvements have been placed.
will be opened to the public tomorrow

The place Is now a splendid picture
of the progress of Richmond business
enterprises, and reflects credit upon the
methods Of Mr.. Kirkwood and comes as
the natural result Of courteous treatment
with fair business dealings.
Only a few years ago Mr.. Kirkwood
started in small way. next door to his
present place. In d short while. his sue
cess being so complete. he sought larger
quarters. by removing to the place where
he is now located. Twice since then he
has enlarged his business by stablish-
ing branches in other sections Of the
city, and now, by the reopening Of his
original stand, he dscloses palatial
dining-room, which is credit to the
city and which is not surpassed In beauty
and accessories by any Similar estab-
lishment in the country.
The front is attractive to a degree, a
large plate-glass show window taking up
nearly that entire portion. The floor is
tiled in decorative fashion, and the heavy
onyx weather boarding is topped-off
with French mirrors around the entire
room. The ceiling carries pretty designs
in steel, while the figure work of the
border is daintiIy attractive. The whole
decorative scheme is one of art and
the combinations of color blend without
a, flaw -Four arc lights and 500 candle
power in incandescents will provide the
light, while six improved electric fans
will keep the room cool.
The furnishings are all new and Of the
latest design. An immense battery Of
coffee urns Is placed near the entrance.
with a self-llling water attachment The
heat will be from hot air. The kitchen
is entirely new, and is so constructed
that all fumes and heat may be carried
through the chimney. A large window
in the east rear allows plenty of light.
and a portisms adds to the beauty ORR
entail urns and vases carry out the
scheme of decoration.
There will be comfortable seats for IS
guests at sitting. Each chair will
carry it's own hat rack, and each table
will have stationary caster and nap
kin-stand
a patent glass stand will be used, with
500 water glasses. No glass will be used
twice the same day.
With the opening Of this modern lunch
room. Richmond is placed upon foot
ing with metropolitan cities in this line
of business.
The entire building has been leased by
Mr. Kirkwood for term of eleven
years. The upper portion will be trans
formed into an Office building, with about
sixteen rooms

TWO LARGE TANNERIES
To Be Established in the Greenbrier
ValIey-Chesapeake & Western.
(Special Disna tch to The Tirnes

NSPeclal DlSpatch TO Inc IlmeS.)
STANTON, VA, July 26.-Colonel Nc
Graw passed through Staunton yesterday
on his return from Pocahontas county.
where he met the representatives Of the
to the establishment Of two large tan
ne:'ies in the Greenbrier Valley. 1t is I'M
derstoo'd that the establishment of these
tanneries has been practically decided
upon. One is to be located at Marlnton,
on the Greenbrier division of the Ches-
apeake and Ohio. and the other at Der
bin, at the terminus of the division. These
tarneries, when built. will employ seven
hundred men each.
n corps OF engineers of the Chesapeake
and Western Railroad are at present sur
Feytng a preliminary line of railway to
De1tin, which is located at the forks of
The Greenbrier River. This line will put
Staunton in communication with West
Virginia and will open up the country
lying between the Chesapeake and Ohio
and the Baltimore and Ohio Railway sys-
tens. 1t will utilize the frost gap of the
Allegheny Mountains. which Is believed
to be a. lower gap in the Allegheny Noun
talns than any gap through which either
the Chesapeake and Ohio or Baltimore
and Ohio crosses, and will make a juno
ton with the Chesapeake and Ohio either
at Marlinton or Derbin The coal and
iron road will effect a junction with the
Chesapeake and Ohio at Derbin within
two months. making new north and
sortE line through West Virginia.
AT present, besides the railway station.
there Is not a single house in Derbin.
The postofiice from which the place takes
its rame Is half a mile distant Another
rold has been projected up the east fork
OF the Greenbrier River, which will make
four new roads centering at Derbin, and
developments may be looked for at that
place.

This is not case Of exaggeration or

previous years of failures in crops.

THE LATHROP HORSE DEPOT.
Report of Gov. Dockery's Private Secretary Forwarded to Senator
 CockreIl at Washington.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 15.--A spe- cial to the Star from Jefferson City, Mo-, says: o. P. Gentry, Gov. Dock ery's private secretary, returned to- day from Lathrop, Mo-, where he was sent under instructions to make an investigation of the charges that a British post is being maintained there to supply horses and mules for the British army in South Africa. Gov. Cookery forwarded the secre- tary's report to Senator F. Nj. Cock rell at Washington, with the request that the senator lay the matter be- fore congress.
 In his report Mir. Gentry says that the firm of Guyton 6 Harrington owns the sheds and land at the post, according to the statements of the county officers. He continues: q was informed that this firm shipped F2,000 head of horses and mules dur ing the last year, most of them des- tined for South Africa. From ap- pearances it looks very much like the business is largely conducted under British auspices. It is claimed, how ever, that all the compensation re- ceived by the firm is 35 cents a day for the care of each horse and mule for the British government. It is not my province to offer any suggestions as to whether international law has been violoted. That question is ob- viously one to be determined by the United States government
 Mr. Gentry says that 21 sepoys who arrived at Lathrop, recently, will return to India soon with 1,50o to 1000 mules for the use of the British army in that country

Murphy 6 co.,s cotton Lstter.

New York. October Exchanges in early cotton market were unimportant. The mere fact that moderate temperature prevailed in the south stood in the way of improvement. Cables when we opened were rather higher than the trade ex- peeted The main point was the absence of any signs of frost or anything ap- preaching it. Under these circumstances bull confidence is weakening in many di- reetions. The remarkable fine weather of late has been helping the crop some, and If We were only in position to know to what extent the present uncertain state of minds on the part of both bulls or bears would be followed by aggressive ness. This uncertainty acts as a check, and we are not likely to witness an im- provement in prices until frost is an- nouneed, while every days delay cannot fail to dampen the order of those who have been favorably disposed toward the bull side. The Liverpool stocks during the week gained slightly as did the stock ahoat, but the American supply in that market Is now 1000 ahead of last year. Talk of considerable short interest is heard and this may temporarily improve the market. The forecast for wet weather in Arkansas and portions of Texas after thu first hour helped to advance prices | to 6 points, and selling orders at times were rather scarce Cables showed 1 to points net advance Pott receipts 55 0J0 against 740O0.

 The tone of the market was decidedly firmer today. In many ways 1t was the best looking market we have had in a week 1quidations appears to have been rather thorough as far as weak accounts go, and the price Is much lower than two or three weeks ago. March and May at Sk cents under present conditions would seem to be as good a purchase as under Sh cents sbe1ore the government report. Spinning demand Is likely to be decided ly better now that the strike Is settled and this will have decided influence in the market Should the price remain around present figures and the movement fall off, buying would bring about a diff ferent position. At any rate SA, with such weather as we had during the sum- mer is not an excessive price If purchases are made along conservative lines.
 This is time when prices must have their down as well as their up turns. Its always so when there are waves of big crops and waves of small crop views. Let the movement fall over ever so lit- tie and there will be a scramble to get cotton. The Wall street condition is much better than anything prevailing this month, a large amount of cotton has been disposed of at good prices and now that the strike is over the mills are likely to be active buyers.
 For few days now we would buy cot ton on every break. The price is low enough for the present and we would not sell cotton short until the crop Is proved large beyond a question.

K. PRICE
 ON COTTON.

New York, October 17-The weekly sta tistical statement of the cotton move ment, made up this evening by the New Orleans cotton exchange, discloses the following facts: Amount of cotton com ing into sight for the week is 459. .4S5 against 471,962 the same week last year. deficiency of 12, ,497 bales. The amount of cotton brought into sight thus far for the season is 2,303034 against 1,753,27 last year, an excess of 49756 bales. This ex- cess is entirely due to the heavy Septem- Der movement, the insight movement during October being 7736 bales less than last year. The visible supply of Ameri- can cotton tonight is 1, S63, AIS bales against 1,7O,927 at the same time last year. The visible supply of American on September was 778000 bales against 925,000 at the corresponding time in 1901. It Is evident. therefore, that the world has taken out of sight 24000O bales more during the q days of the present season to date than during the corresponding time last year. representing an increased absorption this year as compared with last of 36.OOO bales per week, or at the rate of 1,S75,000 bales per year. Of the above visible supply there is in America this evening only 916,- 900 bales against 9SS,000 bales last year. The visible supply in America on Sep tember 1, 1902, was 210.00O bales against 34IO00 bales on the corresponding datc last year. It is evident, therefore. that there has been taken out of America during the AT days of the current season to date 40S. .000 bales more than was taken out during the same period last year. These figures indicate a consumption be- yond all previous records. My advices are that receipts have now reached their maximum. Only in two years out of the past ten has the movement failed to reach it's maximum by the third week of October Thereafter it has declined. In the two years in question, namely 1897 and 1s9S the September movement was rela- lively small and the crop was late All advices agree that this crop is an early one. If after next week the movement commences to show any substantial diminution. those who have hitherto doubted the correctness of small crop estimates will be speedily converted, and prices will rapidly advance
