LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
DRY GOODS DEALERS - GROCERS
ARE BUSTER THAN USUAL.
COmmfssfOn Men Furnish the Only
Note of CompIaint-Grnin Markets
Are Generally Somewhat Lower.

In the week ending Aug. 90 trade in some
lines was disappointing. one of these being
in fruits and vegetables. Commission mer-
chants complain a good deal of light bust
ness. and with an abundant supply Of both
fruits and vegetables. prices broke badly.
Seldom is there a week on the row when
like conditions prevail. On the contrary,
the produce markets were in strong posi-
ton, and all receipts brought good prices
the best figures ever known on eggs and
poultry. Butter ruled steady, choice stock
bringing 10 cents a pound. The poultry mar
ket showed signs of weakness on Saturday,
but no changes were made. The dry goods
houses were treated TO a surprise all the
week. a b.g trade being enjoyed. Stocks OF
retail men are low, and with the easy
money market retail dealers found an I'M
usually good trade springing up and ordered
shipped at once goods bought 10 be deiiv-
cred thirty and sixty days later. Prices on
most lines of dry goods carry a strong tone.
Wholesale grocers are unusually busy for
this season of the year. There is consid-
cradle inquiry about canned goods and dried
fruits. The provision market continues
active. and prices rule steady at quotations.
Home demand is good and export demand is
improving. Flour is in good position, the
slight ups and downs in wheat not affecting
eprices OF flour materially, unless il be the
lower grades. Iron and hardware dealers
report business as very satisfactory and
lines OF business begin September with
promise Of a good trade.

The week closed with prices on all cere-
ais firm IN tone and with Hgh receipts.
Farmers seem inclined to hold their grain,
doubtless anticipating better prices. but the
outlook for an immense corn crop could
hardly be more promising. Track bids, as

City Safer Than the Country.
Frank Leslie's Monthly.

1t is in the country that most OF, the fatal
accidents from lightning occur, and they
are about evenly divided between people
who are struck in houses and those who
are killed in the open or while seeking
refuge under a tree. To stand under a tree
in a thunderstorm is perhaps next TO
elinging TO a lightning rod. the most dan
gerOus position that can be chosen. The
comparative safety OF the modern city
from lightning is due 10 the network of
wires which covers ii, and the number Of
tall buildings with iron points, tin roofs.
metallic cutters and steel frames connected
with the water, sewer and gas pipes, which
form an excellent system OF conductors.
Still the city is not by any means abso-
lutely protected, for when a cloud with a
tremendous store of energy approaches
quickly, all the wires and pipes in ten cities
cannot prevent II from discharging reck-
lessly right and left.

OUT OF CARNEGIE's GIFT.
Researches Into the Mystery of Life

The published statement that out Of the

dowment of the finest biological labora-
tory in the world is confirmed by DR.. II.
NJ. Smith, the chief clerk of the fish COM
mission. and who has charge during the
summer of the commissions work at
Woods Hole.

tanned upOn n large area of property there,
and it is likely that the ground covered
by the proposed school will be as large as
that now Ow. ed by the government. We
have a tract of land which stretches about
an eighth of a mile along the water front"
As is well known, the biological school
at WOODS Hole, which has been maintained
largely by the University of Chicago, at
tracts to that place every summer a colony
OF college professors and students, who find
that the marine specimens brought into the
commissions establishment afford excellent
material for the study of the beginning Of
life. II has been discovered, for instance,
that the eggs of the sea urchin can be de-
velOped by chemical process without fer
tiliZaIion, and that the life in the eggs can
be preserved indefinitely by cyanide of DO
tassium, a deadly poison. Other expert
ments which have been conducted by such
eminent scientists as Professor Matthews
and Professor Loeb, of the University of
Chicago, show that many of the phenomena
of life are electrical in their basis.
In fact, the work which has thus far
been done under the most restricted au-
spices has convinced Mr.. Carnegie and the
trustees of the institute that the laboratory
at Woods Hole is the best place in the
United States for original research into the
mystery OF life. The new buildings which

II is expected that the school, when fairly
under way, Will result in some remarkable
discoveries concerning life. and will attract
the attention of the great German students

logical study.

The marketing OF cattle this week has been
comparatively liberal. total indicating an in
crease Of nearly 1850 over last week and al
most I.500 over the same week a year ago and
1.5oo over the corresponding time two years
ago. Thus f. this year the receipts are al
most 10000 larger than the same period last
year. Although the supplies have been COM
paratively large there has been very little in
crease in the proportion os strictly desirable
cattle marketed. Throughout the week cattle
on the stocker and feeder order have been COM
ing plentiful and the supply finally became
excessive. 1t has been a long time since 1t
has been as difficult to arrange prices on all
kinds OF cattle as ii has been this week and
the market has been quite a puzzle to sales
men. 1t was observed. however, that stock
that met the requirements of buyers in quality,
flesh and weight have been salable at %quotably
steady prices all week. Occasionally. however,
the market was inclined to weakness, and this
was especially true in the steer line. There
has been a very moderate demand for fat
steers that ordinarily have been selling from
$6Q6.75, and at the close of the week prices
for that class were probably 25c lower than
the close Of last week. The good steers that
were selling above 81 and the best cows have
not suffered any quotable charge. but heifers

country demand for stockers and feeders was
not up to expectations this week and conse-
quently there was quite an accumulation Of
that class of stock. Notwithstanding this. how
ever. statesmen were not inclined to take less
prices for the best feeders and most sales Of
that class were on a steady basis. All grades
below the best, however, were very difficult
to sell and were largely 25c lower than last
week. but at that statesmen were unable to find
an outlet for all OF the supply. The highest
prices this week were $40 for native steers,
$4S5 for Texas, $3.50 for heifers. s. for cows,
$425 for bulls and IS for calves. The receipts
to-day were as large as usual at this time in
the week, but the arrivals did not include many
cattle that We're attractive 70 buyers. Conse-
quently the market was rather sluggish and
sales were at prices hardly as satisfactory as
yesterday. The week closed quiet and quite a
number Of stOckers and feeders had to be car
rled over. Quotations.:

DONE WITHOUT HIS APPROVAL
Mr.. Il. T. Davenport Didn't Endorse
Recent Card.

TINES REcoRDER:-In your paper OF
Friday appears an article above my
name, in which the phrase campaign
lies" is used. Allow me to say that a
friend of mine wrote the article and
signed my name to it without my
knowledge. I knew nothing at all of
it until read it in your paper yester-
day morning. I do not approve the
use of the word lilies" even in poll
tics, however great the prevocation-
And Mr.. Query and his friends have
been very mach provoked by such I'M
founded and false reports as referred
TO in said article. We know Mr.. Query
to be above resorting to such political
trickery for votes anywhere in the
state, much less in his native county of
old Sumter. The party or parties who
started the report are the injured ones
and not Mr.. Query. He, his platform
and we his friends are opposed to such
methods, Others may adopt them.
He is above it.
FL. Z. DAVENPORT.
