than the average at this time Of the week and
show a fair gain over last Monday. Compared
with a year ago there was an increase Of about
25oe. There also better variety repre-
sented than usual at this time OF the week and
the quality was generally reported very good
and better than the average at the close Of last
week. The market opened with nearly all buy
in the field. and with good reports from
other places there rather active competl-
ton and the trading from the start was reason
ably active at uneveniy higher prices In a
general way the market quoted &c 10 1Oc
higher and some of the principal purchases cost
around 10c more than Saturday. But this ad-
vance was due partially TO an Improvement IN
the quality. that the gain in reality was
probably not much more than &c for an average.
After the most important orders had been exc
cuted the competition naturally a little
weaker, but closing sales did not represent any
material change in prices compared with the
opening. q good clearance was made. The
extreme range in prices to-day from $500

Out on the mining camp OF Tonopah, New,
William +. Peck, a miner, has built himself
perhaps the most remarkable house in
which a family ever lived. 1t is an actual
fact that not a tree can be found within
sixty miles of the town, and lumber for
building commands such high price that
the people have resorted TO various subst-
tutes for material for their dwellings. Ton
opah Is not a temperance town. and such
a quantity of beer Is consumed that empty
bottles are abundant. Peck hit upon the
idea OF making himself house out of these

thickness.
and constructed two of the walls of his
home of light green bottles and the other
walls of dark green, which produces quite
a pleasing effect. This novel residence has
been finished about year and Peck has
lived in IL since that time with his wife
and two children. Although last winter
was unusually cold in TonOpah the family
had no difficulty In keeping warm.

There need be no uneasiness felt in
Augusta for the balance of the winter,
regarding the coal supply, for with
what there is on hand and that which
is soon to arrive. there will be enough
to tide over until spring F. B. Purin-
ton, of the firm of Purinton Bros was
in Boston. last week, looking after a
schooner load of anthracite which
they had been expecting to arrive at
Portland. and found that the vessel
had been delayed by heavy weather,
at Martha's Vineyard. She has since
sailed. and was expected to arrive at
Portland. Saturday. In addition to
this cargo of aboutf6 900 tons, the firm
mas also received about 400 tons of
Welsh coal at Portland, and the two
lots will arrive in, Augusta. early in
the week. Purinton Bros. received one
carload of 25 tons of hard coal. Sat-
urday. Chas. H. White has sold the
most of the train load which he recent
ly received. but still has some left OF
course. a great deal of the coal ex-
pected by the Purinton Bros. is already
engaged, but small lots can be readily
obtained at Portland, and unless we
should run into some unprecedented
cold weather during the present month
and March. there will be enough TO go
round.
