New York, Feb. 7.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say to-
morrow:
Interruption to railway traffic and
outdoor work by severe storms was the
only unfavorable factor in the business
situation during the past week, while
manufacturing activity increased, aud
distribution through retail channels
was undiminished. Reports from the
West are especially encouraging but
few Southern points are slow to ex-
htbit Improvement. Railway earnings
continue their monotonous record Of
increase, for January, gaining 7.2 per
cent. over last year and 24.2 per cent.
over 1900. The fourth weeks earnings
We're somewhat reduced by bad
weather.
Famine conditions exist in the mar
ket for pig iron. 1t is doubtful whether
there was ever a time In the history
OF the nation when this metal was so
scarce. Considering the fact that pro-
duction during 1901 was far beyond all
previous records, the present shortage
gives lndisputable evidence of the un-
precedented rate at which the mills
have been consuming. Controlling in
terests deprecate all tendencies to in
flate prices and recognize the fact that
the continued heavy consumption Is
dependent upon quotations held at rea-
sonable point. Nevertheless, If deliver
les are wanted before July l, IL is often
necessary to pay a premium, and con-
sumers have been compelled in some
instances to place orders abroad Eff
forts are being made TO re-purchase
iron sent abroad last year, since that
may evade the duty.
Moderate supplies continue the best
feature OF cotton goods and there is
no pressure to sell. Print cloths have
risen slightly and all lines are firmly
held. Exporters are bidding for coarse
colored cottons, but in these. as In
most grades, buyers and sellers are far.
apart in their views of the right price.
The situation appears to favor holders.
Compared with the erratic course of
the cereals during the preceding month
or two, produce markets have been
quiet this week. Dizziness and lack of
special Influences were not productive
of weakness, however, former quota
tions being stubborniy maintained. In
the case or corn there are many ex~
pressions OF faith in lower prices with
out aggressive speculation on the
short side. Among the other staples,
cotton received little support, not
wthstanding liberal port receipts.

CANDIDATES WOULD NOT RUN.
Effort to Get Out New Ticket at
VaIdosta Falls Flat.

Valdosta, Ga, Feb. 7.-Valdosta's
municipal primary had good deal of
ginger injected into it to-day by the
recent announcement of a number of
names for places on the aldermanic
board. Last night a number of cti-
zens got together and named new
ticket from top to bottom, headed by
Col. Oscar Smith for Mayor, and fol-
lowed up with an entirely new crowd
on the Council. The meeting was un-
known to any Of the gentlemen named,
and all of them put their friends on
notice this morning that they were
not In the race. This action on their
part kept things from getting very hot
and the day was not as lively as 1t
promised to be earlier in the morning.
Mayor Ashley and a majority, If not
all of the old board, will be elected
to succeed themselves. A mass meet
ing of citizens was held tonight to
name a new executive committee and
to do such other things as the citi-
zens do on such occasions.

OBITUARY..
Charles F. Gross.

Mr.. Charles f. Gross died at the
family residence at Drayton and Har-
ris Streets yesterday morning, after an
illness of three weeks.
Mr.. Gross was born in Kael, near
Baden, Germany, Oct. 29, 1916, and at
his death was in his eighty seventh
year. Sixty-seven years of his life
were spent in Savannah. Up to few
weeks ago Mr.. Gross was spoken of as
one of the most active men of his
age in Savannah, being often seen up
on the streets, up to the time of his
final illness.
There were few men in the city bet
onym of correct living and honesty of
character. He was popular with his
fellows, and was universally esteemed.
MIR. Gross was a veteran of two
wars having served in the Seminole
Indian War in Battery e of the Fourth
Artillery of the United States Army,
and. also in the Confederate army dur
ing the Civil War.
He was prominent in secret order cir
cles, being perhaps the Oldest Odd Fell
low in Georgia. He joined Oglethorpe
AOuBt INO- L, 4. ~. ~. Jdii. II, 1910,
and had been active in the lodge dur
ing all these years; he served as sec
retary for a third of a century. He was
also one of the oldest members of Mag
nolfa Encampment Odd Fellows and
of Clinton Lodge of MaSons. All of
these bodies, with the German Friend
ly Society, of which he had been a
member for nearly a half century, will
attend the funeral.
Mr.. Gross had the privilege of living
to see his family of ten children grow
up around him, and the loving minis
trations of children and grandchildren
eased his last moments. He died like
a tired child going Ito sleep upon a
loving parents bosom, his last words
being addressed to the wife who
had preceded him to the spirit land
twelve years ago.
Mr.. Gross leaves a large family to
mourn their loss; his children being
Mrs. w. II. Fleetwood, Mr.. Charles A.
Gross, Mrs. C. Fl. Dorsett, Mrs. w. q.
Cooper, Miss Mary r. Gross, Mr..
James A Gross. Miss Marion L. Gross,
Mr.. Walter w. Gross, Miss Jes
sic Gross, and Miss Clifford Gross. The
funeral will take place from the late
residence at $3.50 O'Clock. The burial
will be in Laurel Grove cemetery.

senate Committee Tells of ImpOr-
tance of Danish Islands. .
Washington. Feb. THE recent ia
vorable report by the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations of the treaty
of the cessions of the islands of the
Danish West Indies was accompanied
by a written statement made by that
committee to the Senate. This report
shows that during the year 1900 the
islands exported to the United States
sugar, molasses. and distilled spirits
amounting to $568,945, and that dur
ing the same period the expectations
from the United States amounted to
1924, 4,524
Continuing. the report says: These
islands. together with Porto Rico, are
of great importance in a strategic war,
whether the strategy be military or
commercial. st. Thomas is the natu-
raj point of call for all European trade
bound to the West Indies, Central
America or Northern South America.
These islands, together with Porto
Rico, form the northeastern corner of
the Caribbean sea and are of great i'm
portance in connection with the Ameri-
can isthmus, where a canal will be
constructed between the Atlantic and
racine. 1ney are Oh IrSI Importance
in connection with our relations to the
region of the Orinoco and the Amazon,
and with our control of the Windward
passage. In view of the isthmian ca
nal and European settlements in South
America every additional acquisition
by the United States is of value. Porto
Rico is densely populated. It's roads
are poor. 1t has a long coast line with
out ports for large vessels. 1t Is con-
sequently very difficult of defense. San
Juan is the only harbor capable of
fortification, and this is only suitable
for vessels of light draft"

preme Court has decided the suit of
the Mayor and Council of Brunswick
vs.. Mr.. H. H. Harvey, former city
treasurer, and. his bondsmen, the
United States Fidelity and Guarantee
Company, in favor of the defendant.
This is another victory for Mr.. Har-
vey and his attorneys, Messrs. Crovatt

w. G.. Brantley and A. L. Franklin.
The suit was to recover on Mr.. Har-
vey's bond and the legal points made
as to the liability of the bond company.
after certain stated periods had
elapsed. were decided in Mr.. Harvey's
favor by Judge Bishop, presiding for
Judge Sparks in the City Court here

city carried the case up. but the Su-
preme Court sustained Judge Bishop
Subsequent to that time a suit brought
against Mr.. Harvey in Glynn Superior
Court was tried before a jury, who
found in Mr.. Harvey's favor, and so
far Mr. Harvey's attorneys have won

FARMERS SHORT OF LABOR.
A Tallahassee Man Discovers That

Grass.

n
Chickens Are Sure Death on Nut
Grass.
Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. MANY
farmers from Leon and adjoining coun-
ties have visited the capital during the
past week All are busy and anxious
to get their farming operations in good
shape for the current year, but there
is a general complaint of lack of
farm labor. The cause Of this lack OF
laborers is that so many leave the
farms for turpentine fields, phosphate
mines and saw mills, where they get
better wages.
w. H. Markham, Tallahassee mer-
chant, has made a discovery which will
bring Joy to many a heart in their nut
grass region. His garden was so thor
oughly infested with nut grass that he
could not grow anything in 1t. He gave
up all effort at gardening and turned
about 100 chickens in to fight the nut
grass. This was one year ago, and not
a sprig of nut-grass can now be seen.
Mr.. Markham thinks the chickens
would annihilate the grass in from two
to three years.
