Terms

The terms upon which chittem bark
is received are simple and compre-
hensive. The bark is stored absolute
ly free of charge for from one to five
years. or fraction Of year To some
this may seem strange. but if you stop
to think it over, Mr.. Fry can always
get a larger offer for car load of old
bark than you can get for smaller
quantities of uncertain age, and there.
fore he is generally in position to
pay more forD your bark than any
other buyer, and still save a margin
of profit for his trouble
As stated, your storage is free, the
only condition is when you get ready
to sell he wants a cnance TO buy, and
If he cannot offer you as much as
any one else. you have the privilege
of taking your bark away without
one cent of cost for storage. The only

most gave II away. Three and one
half to four and one-quarter cents per
pound being the ruling price until
last year, when sales we're reported
of $4,000 per ton. This sudden jump
was brought about by the report that
the bark was giving out, followed by
a short crop, and although other sec.
tions Of chittem trees in Oregon and
elsewhere on the northwest coast
have since been discovered, at the
present rate of peeling, 1t will be but
a few years when the last crop is har.
vested. hence the advisability and
necessity Of holding on to what you
have, and in the end you will surely
get better prices.

SOME OYSTER TALK.

Thursday of next week the oyster
mems tongs by the thousands will
dip overheard in the waters of Vir-
ginia. The season, opening on the
18th, is likely to be good one so
far as young catch and promise of
nigh prices may govern it.
The Baltimore Neacs of Tuesday
says: 1.-The Baltimore Oyster market
is In state of Decentralization. This
has been brought on by the contiu-
ued warm weather and the heavy
supply which continues to come into
the city. This morning 10 PUNCHES
brought fully 1900 more bushels of
the biyalves, when the market was
already glutted. In consequence,
the earliest aud choicest sales Melted
only 65 cents a bushel Most of the
small quantity that sold went at so
cents. A number of the latest oys-
termen to arrive with loads of
oysters left for the oyster beds
without unloading as soon as
they were made acquainted with
conditions. They will plant their
catches on a bar and pick them up
again when the weather gets colder.
The oyster season should not begin
until the middle of September re-
marked an oyster commission man
this morning. The oystermsn and
tongers are making nothing out of
thsir catches now and more harm
than you can conceive of is done to
the trade by allowing the market to
glut as it is now. / believe that the
next Legislature will make Septem-
Der 20 the opening for the oyster sea-
son in Maryland waters of the entire
State, just as it now is for the Pa
taxent river beds and the waters of
Calvert and Cecil counties.'"
Last year, until the close of the
trading season, in April, more than
80 sailing vessels on the Potomac
were engaged in the transportation of
oysters. The sloops went out of
commission in the spring, aud none
of them has yet returned for the fall
traffic. The first vessels will appear
about Sept. lath, although this is a
contingency depending almost en-.
tirely upon weather condition. An
early fall will bring with it brisk
oyster season from the start, while
if hot Septem Der is on the weather
officials cards, postponement of
several weeks may follow.
Dealers are already making in
quirles through their shippers with
a view to ascertaining what the situ-
alton is on the Chesapeake and the
Potomac. Encouraging reports have
been received, and generally good
season is looked for.

WHEN Gen. Kuropatkin is pre-

France and his up-hill-down-hill-
again march; or of Pope Of "Head-
quarters in the saddle" fame; or of
Lord Buffers triumphant departure
from England and ignominious COL
lapse in South Africal But, then,
kuropatkin went, and was heralded
against his will, and bears the brunt
of war of unpreparedness that he
tried to forfend. No matter what
his end Kuropatkin will live in his
tory as a great general, who was
forced to obey the orders of numb
skull autocrat who in turn had been
easily deceived by that vindictive,

The result is reflection of the sem
timent of the voters of Fredericks-

the committee stands largely in favor
OF Martin. The meeting brought TO
light the preference of some of the
leading Democrats in the fight for
Senator whose choice had not been
