THE FLOUR MARKET


Weallness and Quiet Demand-PFices
Are Lowered.
The market shows weaker feeling and
prices are moderately lower all around. De-
mand Is light. The break in wheat started
up some buying, but not much, and the gen.
eral situation is unchanged. With the lower
wheat range the market is getting back some
where near a. possible export basis, which is
the en- :ouraging feature.
Shipments for the day were 1881 brls.

New York to Watson: The feeling on the
market among the rank and file Of pro-
fessonal traders is bearish to man. News
papers generally are inclined to the bear
side, SO no doubt we may have lower prices.
Market Is in the hands of professionals and
they can sell them down, but if long stock

is buy. Big men, like Morgan are bulls,
but Standard Oil people are reported as being
bears.

FULL VALUE ASSESSMENTS.
Mandamus Issued Against the Mis-
souri, Board of Equalization BY
State Supreme Court.

Jefferson City, Mo, Sept. 30.-Judge
Robinson has issued an alternative
writ of mandamus against the state
board of equalization, at the relation
of William Preston Hill, of St. Louis,
to compel the board to show cause
why corporation property in st.
Louis was not assessed at the full
cash value. The relatoT shows that
he owns property in st. Louis valued
at $10407O, which was assessed at its
full cash value, his total taxes
amounting to $2,O2o36, whereas a
large number of corporations speci-
fled have been assessed at from 25 to
As per cent. of their valuations.
The writ is made returnable to
court in course. 1t is directed to Al
exander NJ. Doclery, Sam B. Cook, R.
P. Williams, Albert O. Allen and Ed
ward c. Crow as members of the state
board of equalization.
The petition states that the assess
ment made and certified to the coun-
ties is a pretended assessment and is
fraudulent in that it imposes a hard
ship on the taxpayers who are made
to pay on a full-value assessment.
The effect of the issuance of the writ
can not be foreseen.

Churches Going Up.

Greenyille is new in the throes Of
a great church building fever. The
Presbyterians had just completed
their handsome ten-thousand-dollar
brick structure when the work Of
moving the old frame Methodist
church commenced. 1t is stated that
on their lot at the corner Of Wash
ington avenue and Shelby street a
new twenty-thousand-dollar church
will be started at once. The Cath
olics are also raising a church build
ing fund and enough money has been
raised to start work on costly brick
church that will take the place ci
their wooden structure. The mem
bers of the Christian church decided
at meeting a few nights ago to
raise a $4,000 church fund to build
them a new house of worship.

A HALT IN THE SNYDER CASE.
The Quashing of the Special Jury
Venire Interrupts the Pro-
ceedings at st. Louis.

st. Louis, Sept. 3O.-A temporary
halt was caused in the case of Robert
NJ. Snyder, charged with bribery in
the passage of the Central Traction
bill by the municipal assembly, by
Judge Ryan sustaining the motion to
quash the special venire of jurors for
the reason that some of the men
summoned had been served with the
papers on Sunday.
On all the other efforts of the de-
fense to delay the action of the court
the rulings were adverse, and the
case will 20 to trial as soon as a
fresh venire can be summoned. The
action of the court makes it reason
ably certain that the whole story of
the alleged bribery will be thorough
ly aired.

IMMIGRATION AT NEW YORK.
Commissioner Williams Criticises
Conditions which Obtained
Under His Predecessor.

New York, Oct. 1.-The annual re-
New York, Sept. 3O.-The annual re-
port of the commissioner of immigra-
tion at this port, William Williams,
has been filed with the secretary Of
the treasury, and in the document the
commissioner criticises, without re-
serve, conditions which surrounded
the landing of immigrants at Ellis
Island during the ten months pre-
vious to,the change of administration
there due to Mr.. Williams appoint
ment He says in the report;
'The chief INSPECTOR was allowed to
arbitrarily mark the word hold
against the name of any immigrant
on the manifest, thus causing to be
brought to him certain picked people
to be disposed of as he thought best,
instead of allowing them to be in
spected in the regular way The fact
that most of those so marked are
shown to have had fair amounts of
money, and that many so marked
were able-bodied people with very
large accounts of money are points
not without interest. The power,
first, to detain these people without
reason, and second, to direct them
to boarding houses where they paid
full value for all they received, will
be appreciated when it is remembered
that from May, 1901, to May, 1902,
463,541 immigrants exhibited $685.
$50 as they passed through this sta
tion, and had probably great deal
more that they did not exhibit.
'It appears that some officials were
in the habit of themselves passing
upon cases of immigrants detained
for special inquiry, bringing the i'm
migrants out of the detention room,
discharging them or putting them
back, according to their whims. The
resulting power of blackmail and of
exerting other improper influences in
volved in this practice will be readily
seem"
The commissioner says he could
cite numerous other instances of
abuse and lack of system; that the
immigrants were roughly handled
and addressed in rough language by
government and railroad officials;
that the detention "pens" were filthy,
particularly the dining room, where,
the report says, the immigrants were
fed without knives, forks or spoons;
that railroad and other passes used to
be demanded to a demoralizing ex-
tent; that "ships after ships"
brought in cases of favas (scalp dis
easel and trachoma (eye disease),
both dangerous, contagious diseases
unknown in this country until i'm
ported in recent years from Europe.
The commissioner says the con-
stantly deteriorating quality of the
recent immigration calls for the exc
cution of the law in the most strin-
gent manner, and he states that last
year over 1000 aliens who had arrived
within the year became destitute in

Mississippi State News


Warden Parchman, of the peni-
tentiary, gives a most discouraging
account of the crops in the delta as
result of the unfayorable season
since the latter part Of July. He es-
Inmates the entire delta cotton crop
as being full 80 per cent off, and
the crops on the States places are
hurt one-third or more. The July
prospect was a beautiful crop, but
heavy rains set in during the latter
part of the month and filled the
plants with sap. Following the rains
the weather turned off excessively
warm in August and continued hot
for the entire month, cooking the
plants to such an extent that no cot
ton was made at all in the month of
August. There is now no chance
for these conditions to be improved
as the plants have matured and the
season is practically over.

On a Boom.

The people of Perry county are
immensely proud of the magnificent
showing made by the county in the
recent assessment of realty. Perry
county is thus far the banner county
IN respect to increase in realty valu-
ations. The whole southeastern Sec
ton of the State is on a general
boom OF the most substantial charac-
ter. Much railroad building and
extension is in progress, and the
county is being rapidly opened up
to settlement. The timber business
is fourishing and cattle and sheep
raising are coming to be leading in
dustries. Sheep farmers, with hold
ings of four and five thousand sheep,
are not uncommon. The people of
the county are awake to the possibil-
lty that the timber will one day fail
as an industry, and they are prepar-
ing to develop the other resources.

Demand for Turpeutine.

The jump in the price of turpen-
tine has caused the establishment Of
a large number of new distilleries
in the piney woods section of the
State. and grave fears are enter
tanned that the forests Of long leaf
yellow pine will be seriously i'm
paired by the turpentine industry
There is heavy demand for Missis-

there are good grounds for the fear
that within few years there will be
no pine left for turpentine purposes.

WORLDS FAIR CERTIFICATES.
Issued to Subscribers Who Have
Paid Up in Full.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
Sept.3O.-The secretary of the Worlds
fair began, Monday, to issue certifi-
Gates to those subscribers who have
paid in full. The issue was made in
the rooms of the Worlds fair in the
Laclede building. There was, at an
early hour in the morning, a contin-
uous call for certificates. At times a
dozen of more stockholders were in
waiting. AS the stockholder present
ed his receipts comparison was
made with the books of the treasurer,
by Mr.. Madden, his representative,
and notification given to the secre-
tary that the receipt was in all re-
spects regular and correct. The stock
holder was entered on record as the
holder of paid-up stock. He signed
the receipts and received the certifi-
cate. There are nearly 1,500 stock
holders who have paid up in full,
ranging in amounts from $40 to $780,
600. The stock certificates are in five
series, A, B, C, D and E. Each series
is printed in distinctive colors.
The certificate represents the CEN
tral picture of the Worlds fair, show
ing the corners of the Textiles and
Electricity buildings, the grand basin
between,a and the cascades and Festival
hall and terraces of states. The
stockholders receiving their certifi-
Gates manifested no little interest in
the picture.

in such number as to tax the clerical
force in the treasurer's and secre-
tary's Offices.
