been sold on the track. The price will
average close 10 g. q per crate for the
entire season. From this side 052l
crates have gone out This will mean
about S22 200, and before the season
closes moro than $4,000 will be distrib-
uted by the Candy association alone.
The Candy association has used express
cars almost exclusively, using but four
freight cars during the season"
The reporter then applied 1t the de.
pot and consulted the obiging agent, A.
Is. Cox, who informed the scribe that
there had been a cars shipped, seven of
which were shipped 10y local express.
The SarcoXie horticultural association
CLAIMS 81 cars shipped 10y them.
Taking Alr. Blnkson's 5 figures rs cor

II. p. Pittnln, farmer living near

wagon load OF Eooseberries Thursday
which brought him $50 cash, MIR.
Cummings has one and une-fourth acres
in gunseherri IS, aud this WAS the second
load no had gathered from his "patrh, "
and that he would gather Mt least one
more wagon load this season, thus max
ing three wagon loads from one and

at Thursday it will be- seen that there is

THE CORN SITUATION.

Among the many problems now con
fronting the country none is of more i'm.
portance, especially to the southwest,
than the future course Of the corn mar.
ket. Has tho price reached the high
point, or is the fancy figure yet TO be re
corded? Will the shortage occasioned 10y
last years drouth result in virtual
| iainine of the grain, or will the econo-
mics being pruciiced leave a surplus Of
corn?
The market at present is a little over
| 60 cents a bushel, or about 10 cents un-
der the top price reached in December.
This quotation is nearly double the price
at which corn usually sells for at this
season. The extraordinary induccment
Of recent PRICES has flooded the leading
market conters and temporarily supplied

| But the adyices indicate that the
farmers in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and

were raised, have parted with most OF
their spare corn. Que of the best private
authorities says the farm stocks ia the
/ United States on March lst will not cx-
coed 800 100000 bushels, as against so,

Worlds Fair scenes were of particu-

associated with George Ado, illustrating
AIDES wcllbnown sketches. "Stories

During the Spanish h-AmericaI war he
was with Admiral Dewey at the time Of

APATHY IN MARYLAND.
Reelection of Mudd, Pearre, Wachter
and Jackson Predicted.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, October AL the
democratic candidates for the national
House of Representatives from Maryland
held a long conference today with Senator
elect Arthur P. German, Chairman Vandi-
yer of the state committee and other prom
inent members of the democratic party.
The conference was held at the Eutaw
House.
1t is understood that the main topic Of
discussion was the apathy shown by the
voters generally in regard to registration.
Not more than three-ffths of the voters in
Baltimore city have been registered and
only three days remain in which names can
be placed on the books.
Very little interest seems to be taken In
the congressional contests, except by the
candidates and their friends Even the
working politicians of both parties are apa-
thetic. and unless something strenuous Is
done the vote will be very light in No
ve-cber
The opinion of well informed politicians
of both parties is that Mr.. Jackson in the
first district, Mr. Wachter in the third
district, MI. Mudd in the fifth district and
Mr.. Pearre in the sixth district will be re-
elected. while the democrats will elect Mr..
Talbot in the second district and Mr..
Denay in the fourth district.

what Mr.. Roosevelt will propose to the men
who will assemble here on Friday is not
known, but it is believed that he will pre-
sent to the men the statement that he is
receiving kilograms and letters from all
over the country portraying the discomfort
of the people with the existing condition OF
affairs, and suggesting that those most
vitality interested should consider means Of
settling the strike.
1t is felt today that the heads Of the coal
companies and the president Of the United
Mine Workers will be exceedingly glad to
have some one so high in authority as
President Roosevelt bring them together
BY this means neither side will appear to
have been worsted by the other. and what
ever the settlement effected may be 1t will
go to the credit of the President, and not to
one side or the other.
