ers could possibly expect to get in the local
market. That they failed to make turkeys
scarce in the Washington market is appar-
ent from the large Local display this morn
ing
Along the line of wagons from the neigh
boring states hundreds of turkeys were on
sale, and they were fine as any fowls ever
seen in the market. The change IN the
weather made the stock look exceptionally
fine and the dealers were in no hurry to
lower the price, because they would expert
ence no trouble in holding over their fowls
until tomorrow. Others who had but a
small supply on hand were anxious TO dis
pose Of what they had and go home. The
prices among the country people ranged
from 16 to 10 cents, and the birds were all
first-class
Chickens were scarce and in good de-
mand, and there was not an abundance Of
other fowls offered. Eggs. were not at all
plentiful, and the prices ranged from %
cents for cold storage stock to SO cents for
those fresh from the country. The fresh
country eggs were in great demand, and but
few of them were to be had under 80 cents.
Dealers in game were plentifully supplied
with wild ducks of various kinds, while
quail and small game was not so plentiful
The Meat Stalls.
Meat stalls in the Center market were

Progress on Long Bridge Construction

The work on the stone piers for the new
Long bridge Is progressing slowly. Two Of
the piers on the Virginia side Of the draw
remain to be built, as well as the heavy
stone abutment for the Virginia approach
to the bridge. The contractors have a large
force Of men at work on the foundation for
the Virginia abutment, and in a short time
1t will be showing above the ground.
Considerable trouble has been had in
building the foundations for this abutment
owing to the marshy condition of the
ground, but 1t is understood the trouble has
been overcome. Judging from the past
before the actual construction Of the bridge
proper will begin, but the present part Of
the work is the slowest and most difficult.
After the piers are completed the iron work
on the bridge can be showed along at good
speed.

this meat varies.
Displays of ruits and vegetables from
hothouses and other sections of the coun-
try gave the market the appearance Of the
summer season. There was scarcely any
thing in the fruit or vegetable line that was
not to be had and the prices were no higher
than they are at the ordinary times. There
were Strawberries on some Of the benches,
and, they Of course, brought fancy prices.
Christmas treets and punches Of holly and
of evergreens of all kinds and description
were displayed in profusion. although some
Of the dealers said the demand for trees
was not as great as usual. Holly and mis-
tletoe were more In demand than has been
noted In former seasons. and the supply Of
the latter was larger than 1t has been for a
number Of years. Men, women and chill
dren from the farming section Of the Dis
trict and from the neighboring states occu-
pied all the available space along 9th street
and other places about the market They
had wreaths, crosses, hearts and other dec
orative pieces in evergreens, which, with the
thousands Of trees, gave the place the ap-
pearance of a pretty country district. The
markets will be open all day tomorrow and
tomorrow night.

IT is expected that 1900 people will

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The cop

any one year for that state, being TO-
1889 pounds. as against 1884, 726
pounds in 1900 and e,5S4,74e pounds the
year preceding.
These are the figures given out by
the geological survey. Formerly the
greater part of the copper produced in
Utah was derived from the ores treat
ed by the local smelters and those Of
Colorado, but now considerable and in
ereasing quantities are obtained from
low grade copper ores, which, how
ever, carry also the precious metals.
The current year will witness fur
Their increase in the yield.
The report of the Utah Consolidated
Gold company, limited, of London,
which owns practically all the stock
of the Highland Boy Gold Mining COM
pany of Utah, shows dividends on the
stock of that company of el6S, 1875. The
Highland Boy produced 1888 tons of
ore and the accounts show S1.59S; 362

The sales were 14.7S2 ounces of gold
